Pook is an experimental transforming robot, capable of taking on a variety of animal forms including: a lion, dolphin, giraffe, elephant and various birds. Pook shares something of a kinship with Astro Boy, since they were both experimental super-robots intended to be proof of their creators’ genius.

He appeared originally as a secondary character in the Astro Boy (1952-68) Chapter “Crucifix Island” (1958), where he served both as Astro’s antagonist and ally.
