Professor Archibald Ackroyd, was a professor who was doing research on Lemmings.

Appearances
Ackroyd first appears in the story Professor Shonku o Aschorjo Putul. Once during his travels in Norway he met Gregor Lyndqvist who wanted to make his statue. Unfortunately for him, Lyndqvist turned out to be a rogue scientist who invented a serum, which when injected can reduce a fully grown man to a one feet long living doll. Ackroyd was not the first victim of Lyndqvist, he made such "dolls" of five more celebrities. Everyday after feeding the dolls Lyndqvist used to make them unconscious by electric shock, fortunately, Ackroyd used to wear a vest made of carbothin, whose formula was given to him by its inventor Professor Shonku, which makes its wearer totally invulnerable to electric shocks. As a result, unlike other dolls, Ackroyd was not unconscious and used the time to plan an escape. Ackroyd also noticed that Lyndqvist, was involved in another project which made smaller animals go bigger.

When Lyndqvist made Professor Shonku, he set the same trap. Ackroyd tried to warn Shonku, but he too fell in Lyndqvist's trap and got convered to a living doll. But since Shonku too, used carbothin vests, he too was immune to electric shocks and was not turned unconscious. During Lyndqvist's absence, they planned their escape using Morse Code and the next day, Ackroyd managed to escape his captivity, turned to a fully grown man, and made Lyndqvist a victim of his own medicine, by converting him to a doll. Then, he helped Shonku to regain his old size. Later Ackroyd revealed that since everyone thinks that he is dead, he would better commit suicide with Lemmings.

Ackroyd's spirit later arrives in the story Professor Shonku o Bhoot, where he talks with Shonku using his invention Neospectroscope.
