Tarek is a 23 year old nidoran male living in the sonic world, residing in mystic mansion. While he was a normal (by sonic standards) nidoran male at one point, he was turned into a living toy...which he does blame nuri for (even if he knows tarek had nothing to do with his circumstance). He can inflate his muscles and torso (usually with the plug on his upper arm). He has the powers of a nidoran male, a toy, and the element of poison. Technically speaking, he's on good terms with the ghosts of mystic mansion (and hang castle).
