unspecified amount of damage with no ill effects; one of the few times we ever see him be affected by an enemy attack is when Eve is kidnapped in Nocturnals: The Witching Hour. Tiny forest sprites dust him with a magic powder that puts him to sleep, and when he is revived by Starfish and the Raccoon he appears to have taken it personally, much to the chagrin of those he discovers kidnapped Eve.

He is in charge of the Narn K's bizarre and disturbing experiments in the dark recesses of the Monster Shop, and endlessly seeks to end the lives of Horror and his cohorts. Although he appears to be human, he is in
