BURG.L is a friendly robot found in the Oak Lab. He was created by Ominent and serves as Acting Science Manager for Ominent's project. There were research chips within his CPU, until they were lost and scattered throughout the backyard. Returning these chips expands BURG.L's purchasable Science Shop inventory. He also provides a variety of tasks via using the ASL Terminal, as well as access to the Science Shop.
