He is the jeddak of the Tarids of Ombra, and one of the antagonists of the book. ![]() This is a Calot? More like a Banth, but John Carter is treating it like Ka-Zar's Zabu, last of the Sabre-Teethīe careful what you want… Remember the Monkey’s Paw, folks! Huh, it seems Pixar has gotten hold of Iss, Okar, Kaol and Korus as well as the rest of the Fourth Planet according to the gospel of ERB and wrenched it into their fashion – taking a piece here and a smidgen there and crafting it this way and revising that way, unlike Peter Jackson’s devotion to Bilbo and crew in Tolkien’s worlds with the live-action version of LOTR.ĭon’t get me wrong – parts are good, but if they stay along the path. Ul Vas is a character in the novel Swords of Mars. There he encounters the brilliant and evil inventor Fal Sivas, who has.
