Thundarr the Barbarian Wiki
(I changed the description of Ookla's outfit from "underwear" to "loincloth", as he doesn't actually wear the fur garment under anything, thus it isn't "underwear". I also corrected your spelling of "wookiee" (it's actually spelled with 2 e's, not...)

(→‎Description: You misspelled "Chewbacca". You left out he "w" and had an extra "b". So I fixed it.)

Ookla is a large, muscular lionman like humanoid, with a black and dark-gray beastly face, amber eyes, with cat-like pupils, black pointy ears, blond mane, three-fingered (plus thumb) claws, and cinnamon-brown fur. He is dressed in black boots and loincloth. Ookla, like Chebbacca the Wookiee, doesn't talk in any human language, but Thundarr and Ariel seem to understand like Han Solo does his companion in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars Star Wars] mythology.

Ookla the Mok
Ookla in a Equort 2
Voiced by Henry Corden
Archetype: Barbarian/Beastman
Race: Mok
Weapons Used: Longbow
Powers and Abilities: Great Strength

Ookla the Mok is a companion of Thundarr the Barbarian. He first met Thundarr when he was captured and enslaved by the evil wizard Sabian, where he helped in the slave revolt. He has been with him ever since.

As a Mok, Ookla has great strength, usually fighting by ripping up a nearby sapling or piece of wreckage to club his enemies. On a few occasions he is shown to use a longbow that fires a type of paralyzing arrow. However, he is also the most likely of the heroes to charge right into an enemy attack or to be enraged by unusual nuisances or threats.

Both Thundarr and Ariel generally understand the howls that make up Ookla's speech, but Thundarr seems to know more about Mok culture than Ariel, perhaps because he and Ookla met and worked together as slaves before either met Ariel. Whereas Thundarr and Ariel ride horses for transport, Ookla's steed is another quadrapedal species called an equort.

Description

Ookla is a large, muscular lionman like humanoid, with a black and dark-gray beastly face, amber eyes, with cat-like pupils, black pointy ears, blond mane, three-fingered (plus thumb) claws, and cinnamon-brown fur. He is dressed in black boots and loincloth. Ookla, like Chewbacca the Wookiee, doesn't talk in any human language, but Thundarr and Ariel seem to understand like Han Solo does his companion in the Star Wars mythology.

The name "Ookla" actually comes from University of California, Los Angeles (commonly known as UCLA), and the puppet charactor Kukla, from Kukla, Fran and Ollie. Ookla was named by series creato Steve Gerber and his friend Martin Pasko.
