The Zanotto family are a family of powerful psychics that make several prominent appearances in the Psychonauts series. The only known members are Lili, Truman, Truman's unnamed mother, Tia, Bob, and Helmut (by marriage). They seem to be proficient in herbaphony, and use this skill to communicate to plants.
Appearance[]
Both Lili and Truman seem to share a similar facial structure and similar skin tone. Bob seems to be the only outlier in terms of appearance.
Story[]
Psychonauts[]
Lili is the first member to be seen on screen and plays a pivotal role in the first game, serving as a motivation for Raz to rescue her from the lab of Dr. Loboto. Truman is mentioned only by name at the end of the game.
Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin[]
Lili once again serves as a major character in Rhombus of Ruin, helping Raz re-acquire his pyrokinesis and rescue her father, Truman, who is also seen several times throughout the game.
Psychonauts 2[]
Lili and Truman both make several appearances in Psychonauts 2. Truman, while initially believed to be incapacitated, is the one who sends Raz on his mission to bring Ford Cruller to the Motherlobe. Bob also makes an appearance, having descended into alcoholism after his husband's "death" and sequestered himself into his greenhouse after Truman fired him. Both he and Helmut (whose brain is later put in Nick Johnsmith's body) play major roles in the story, uniting with the other Psychic Seven to banish Maligula into the depths of Lucrecia Mux's mind. It is later revealed that Gristol's brain was in Truman's body, which the former was planning to use to destroy the Psychonauts. After Maligula is stopped, Truman's brain is returned to his body.
