Kuphulu

Kuphulu  is a Thep Khufan villain from the planet Anur Transyl in the Anur System. He, along with Dr. Viktor and Crujo, is formerly one of Zs'Skayr's loyal servants.

Appearance
Kuphulu bears a resemblance to Snare-oh. He wears a black tall headdress with curved golden spikes, a black shirt with a red and black striped collar, a black dress tied together with a bandage, two cuffs with black and red stripes, fingerless gloves, a bandaged mouth with a golden chin and four tendrils on his back. Like the Mummy, his eyes are purple with black pupils.

History
Kuphulu has tangled with Scout before. He works for Zs'Skayr and according to Scout, he is a small-time crook and repeat offender.

He first appeared in Rad Monster Party. He, along with Zs'Skayr, Dr. Viktor, and Crüjo attempted to defeat Ben and his team. He was the one who kidnapped Hobble, Rook and Rad one by one. After that, he attacks Ben, who turns into Wildvine in full view of a crowd. He was defeated by Ben but the citizens of Anur Transyl helped Kuphulu to escape. In a large Egyptian-esque temple, Ben, along with Scout, find his team wrapped in bandages in a wall. Hobble tries to say something, but is muffled by the bandages. When Ben frees Hobble's mouth from the bandages, he exclaims that Kuphulu is behind him. Kuphulu rises up and attacks, but Ben transforms into Crashhopper, who manages to incapacitate him by tying him up in a web of his own bandages.

In The Vampire Strikes Back, he, along with Dr. Viktor and Crujo, use the vast, immeasurable magical power and energies that Zs'Skayr stole from the Alpha Rune to resurrect Lord Transyl, a member of the long-extinct Vladats. He and Viktor get attacked by Lord Transyl, who sought to feed on them. However, Zs'Skayr defeats Transyl and convinces him to help him carry out his plot. Kuphulu, along with his team, and the brainwashed Anur Transyl citizens, attack Ben's team. Lord Transyl then shoots corrupturas at Rook, Rad and Scout. Ben's team and the brainwashed Anur Transyl citizens attack Ben and Hobble. Kuphulu, along with Viktor and Crujo, was later shot by corrupturas created by Ben's new alien, Whampire. Whampire orders them to hold Zs'Skayr and Lord Transyl. Kuphulu and the others comply, but are unable to hold them, and tossed aside, forcing them to retreat. Whampire then forces the three of them to tell him where the castle of Zs'Skayr is. Whampire crashes the Lovely Duck into the castle, having his coruptura-controlled group battle Lord Transyl's. During the battle, Kuphulu, Crujo and Viktor are freed by Whampire's corrupturas when the Omnitrix times out. Ben turns into Atomix and creates a "Fusion Cuisine"; a light ball which kills Zs'Skayr and injures Lord Transyl, leading to everyone being freed from his corrupturas. Kuphulu and Crujo join Viktor in putting Lord Transyl somewhere safe. In the end, the Lovely Duck leaves the Anur System and Viktor imprisons Lord Transyl in a coffin-like containment unit in orbit right in front of the Anur System's sun.
