Episode 35: The Island of the Gravites



We discover there is another tribe of humans on Amzot, located on "Gravite Island." Since it just seems to make sense, I'm placing Gravite Island in the middle of the Northern Sea, making the humans there another off-shoot of those who live on the shores of the Northern Sea.

The island has Gravite deposits, which the villain shoots with an energy being to create the Gravite Creatures. This is very similar to what Queen Skorra did with what I dubbed "biological lava" in a previous episode to create the Swamp Quadratt. So Gravite and the biological lava have similar properties--you can use the stuff to make monsters you can then control. It gives the villain (who apparently has dreams of conquest) a reasonable motive for being there.

This is YET another mad scientist that Zandor already knows. I really think one of the reasons he largely eschews technology is because he's seen science used for evil so often. Did the poor guy ever meet any other GOOD scientists aside from Tara?

I've updated the summary in the July 2 post to include information on Gravite Island, the Gravite Creatures and my theory that Zandor gained his fighting skill battling a series of mad scientists before he even brought the Herculoids to Amzot. When I cover the last episode, I will re-post the summary with any last updates and make it available as a PDF.
