Origin[]

The mad scientist is a muppet who created Shrinkenstein, a large, monstrous creature. He was desperate to create life by any chemical means necessary. The creation proved to be a disappointment and the monster proceeded to rampage across the countryside and local suburbs, shrinking all clothes he came in contact with. Having a change in heart, the scientist created Pak-Nit to counteract Shrinkenstein's damage. In the end, the monster was destroyed by Pak-Nit using a single punch.
