Merlock, often known as Merlock the Magician, is the main adversary in DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp. Merlock is a wolf with human characteristics. He holds a magical green talisman that grants him magical powers, including the capacity to transform into (non-anthropomorphic) creatures such as a hawk, vulture, rat, cockroach, gryphon, bear, and cougar. When Merlock places the talisman on the Genie's magic lamp, it grants him an infinite number of wishes instead of the normal three. He is an evil sorcerer who allegedly tries to grant endless wishes using a magic lamp and his talisman.
