Doctor Rupert "Jacques" von Hämsterviel, commonly known as Dr. Hämsterviel, is a main character of the DisneyToon Studios direct-to-video animated film Stitch! The Movie and a recurring character in the Walt Disney Television Animation television series Lilo & Stitch: The Series. He also made a cameo appearance in Walt Disney Studios' 41st animated feature film Lilo & Stitch. He is voiced by Jeff Bennett.
Hämsterviel is a dimunitive alien scientist with a rodent-like appearance, who desires to conquer the galaxy. The former lab partner of Doctor Jumba Jookiba, he now seeks to capture the genetic experiments he helped to create through financing, with the help of the retired Captain Gantu, before Lilo and Stitch. The few times Gantu is able to capture an experiment are coupled with comedic moments, usually at the expence of Hämsterviel.
Much to Hämsterviel's chagrin, a vast majority of the universe mispronounces his name, usually as Hamsterwheel, or Hamsterveal. but on some occasions other variations have been used, such as Gerbilviel. He is also often mistaken for a gerbil, despite his insistence that he is hamster-like.
A similar character also appeared in Disney's Stitch: Experiment 626 as the first boss, under the name was Dr. Habbitrale.
In Leroy & Stitch, Hämsterviel escapes prison and forces Jumba to create a new experiment, "Leroy." He then repeatedly clones Leroy and uses the clones to take over the Galactic Alliance, firing Gantu afterward for his incompetence. This proves to be the key to his downfall, as Gantu breaks Lilo and Reuben out of prison. When Hämsterviel goes to watch Leroy and his clones destroy the other experiments, his plan is thwarted by the arrival of the reformed Gantu, Lilo, Stitch, Reuben, Jumba, and Pleakley, who team up with all the other experiments and defeat Leroy. Hämsterviel is sent back to prison afterward, with all the Leroys in the cells around him.
