Fictional character biography
Lylla, an anthropomorphic otter, is the CEO of the biggest toy-making company in the universe, Mayhem Mekaniks on the planet Halfworld. She is also the friend and lover of Rocket Raccoon. She inherits the company after her parents are murdered by Judson Jakes, who wants control of the company. The only way for Lylla to gain full control is through marriage. Lylla soon comes under threat from not just Jakes but also Lord Dyvyne, with both wanting to control her toy company.[1] Luckily, Rocket Raccoon comes to her aid. With the help of their friends, Wal Rus and Uncle Pyko, they defeat both parties.[2] Lylla travels with Rocket afterward to start a new life together.[3] These events are later revealed to be false. Lylla, along with the rest of the halfworlders, are actually service animals who care for mental patients on their planet. She was also apparently married to Blackjack O'Hare.[4] She has not been seen since, and her marriage to Blackjack seems retconned since he reappears as a deadly mercenary and enemy to Rocket.[5]
