Zorak (character)

Zorak is an anthropomorphic mantis and is an antagonist of the Space Ghost animated franchise. His voice was originated by Don Messick.

Zorak is a diabolical leader of a race of aliens, and is the arch-nemesis of Space Ghost. Although he only appeared in three episodes of the original cartoon, his schemes were enough for the main hero to swoop into action.

In Space Ghost Coast to Coast, he is the bandleader of The Original Way Outs on Space Ghost's show. Despite being reformed, Zorak is still maniacal and would frequently mock Space Ghost and the guests he interviews.

In The Brak Show, he was cast as a friend of Brak, and manipulates him into aiding in or committing illegal acts.
