| BIOGRAPHICAL DETAILS: |
Col. Spigot is the militaristic ruler of the 'Glorious Thembrian People's Air Corps' (despite the fact that he's never flown a plane in his life). The reason he got to be in his curent position is entirely due to a typographical error! (And if he didn't like the job, he would probably be shot). Being very short, he doesn't like to be reminded of that fact, even if it's a joke. And perhaps because of the way his tusks are arranged, he talks with a lisp. Like most Thembrians in positions of power, he uses 'red tape' as his main defensive weapon. However, his best laid plans are thwarted time and again whenever Baloo gets involved. Unfortunately for Sgt. Dunder, his aide-de-camp, is usually the focus of Spigot's anger when this happens. His favorite saying is usually, "I am Col. Spigot...perhaps you've heard of me?" Sgt. Dunder is affable but loyal in his duties as Spigot's aide. Unbeknownst to Spigot, Dunder is too kind-hearted to completely carryout Spigot's insane requests, and is fortunate enough that they are usually outwitted before he must. Baloo and Kit have ocassionally needed to carry cargo too, from and for Thembria, and they both seem to like Dunder inspite of his relationship to Spigot.
