Stitch, also known as Experiment 626 (pronounced "six two six"), is a fictional character in Disney's Lilo & Stitch franchise. An illegally-made, genetically engineered, extraterrestrial life-form resembling a blue koala, he is one of the franchise's two title characters, alongside his human adopter and best friend Lilo Pelekai, and its most prominent protagonist.
Stitch was created by Lilo & Stitch co-writer and co-director Chris Sanders, who also voices him in all Western-produced media that he appears in. Ben Diskin voices the character in the English versions of the Eastern-produced television spin-offs Stitch! and Stitch & Ai.
Stitch is a blue, short, koala-like alien. His large rabbit-like ears have asymmetrically-placed triangular notches on the outer rims of each ear; one near the tip of his right ear and another near the base of his left ear, although these notches are sometimes misplaced in some media, usually on their respective opposite ears. The back of the ear tips are colored indigo. He has a wide mouth, a round nose, black eyes, and a small, short, and stumpy tail. He has three tufts of fur on top of his head and another three on his chest. He has aqua countershading around his eyes and from his lower lip extending down to the bottom of his abdomen.
He has four arms (the lower pair of which are retractable), three retractable spines that run down his back, four sharp retractable claws on each of his front and back paws (hands and feet), and two retractable antennae on his head. There are abstract indigo markings on his back and occiput that vaguely look similar to snow angels, with the back marking having two large "bulges" in the middle that allude to his four arms. He has a limited ability to change his physical appearance, as he can retract his lower pair of arms, his claws, his antennae, and the three back spines into his body. He is referred to as a dog by Lilo throughout much of the franchise, as he was taken to a pound and disguised himself as one in order to escape his captors by being adopted by Lilo. He was initially believed by Lilo to be a collie that had been hit by a car, while Nani thought he was a koala of a sort before they found out he was an alien genetic experiment.
Sanders's initial design concepts for Stitch differ heavily from the final version. Stitch was originally going to have green fur, which was changed in early development to the now-familiar blue. His black eyes were slightly smaller compared to his final version, his ears flared at their bases instead of close to their tips, and some early drawings placed his nose below the eye line instead of above. The early drawings also showed him with white or silver claws instead of dark blue claws, and he wore a yellow-orange spacesuit with burnt orange pants instead of the more uniform red-orange spacesuit that he wears in the original film's first act.
