![]() It is notable that Zorak has an apparent rivalry with fellow Space Ghost villain Lokar, who is quite obviously a humanoid locust Lokar is portrayed as elitist and more cultured than the vulgar and crude Zorak, whom Lokar insultingly refers to as an arachnid.įootage from the original series for Zorak is taken from his entire crew, meaning Zorak's gloves and vest have a tendency to change color for no reason. ![]() Zorak also refers to himself as "The Lone Locust of the Apocalypse", but does not explain the meaning of this title, although it could be an allusion to his destructive tendencies. He explained that he did not notice Space Ghost was calling him a locust until Space Ghost brought it up. Zorak was initially referred to by Space Ghost as a locust it was not until the seventh episode, "Punch", when guest Dian Parkinson mistook him for a grasshopper that he mentioned that he is actually a mantis. Brak thinks of Zorak as a friend Zorak likes to think he has no friends. He gains satisfaction from using Brak in The Brak Show. He has flirted with a few of the female guests but it was mostly to annoy Space Ghost. He gets on best with Moltar but has low tolerance for Space Ghost, other characters and guests. Others include: "Hubba dubba do!", "I am the Lone Locust of the Apocalypse, think of me when you look to the night sky" and "I'm Egyptian!".

The episode also suggested that Zorak has a middle name, Roberts. The Space Ghost Coast to Coast episode "Cahill" has a good spar between the two. He has a gun, a Matter Intensifier, which he keeps hidden in his keyboard and sometimes gets out to give Space Ghost a zap for all the times he has blown him up. Zorak devoured him (apparently typical of his species) and then laughed about it. Zorak had a small nephew at one point called Raymond. Zorak simply regenerates from this each time. He relishes insulting Space Ghost whenever possible and winding Space Ghost up so much that he blows Zorak up with his Power Bands (a running gag in the show).

Zorak was voiced by Don Messick, who spoke in a buzzy monotone meant to evoke his insect-like features.Ĭartoon Network revived the Space Ghost characters in 1994 for Space Ghost Coast to Coast, a talk show where the main characters' roles were re-invented.
