A Villain Named Zrg: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

Be it because of its outlandish sound or its harsh structure, there seems to be a trend of naming sci-fi villains -- and especially stereotypical ones -- after these three consonants (sometimes with a K instead of a G), with a random vowel in-between and possibly some letters before or after.

== [[Anime and Manga]] ==

* King Zarkon from ''[[Voltron]]'' would be a near-example.

** Also the cards "Dark Master Zorc" and, flipping the letter order, "Gorz the Emissary of Darkness."

 

== [[Literature]] ==

* Emperor Zhark from the ''[[Thursday Next]]'' books is a near-example (in two different ways). He's the villain of his own pulpy sci-fi series, but in the [[Meta Fiction|metafictional]] main story, he's one of the good guys.

 

== [[Live Action TV]] ==

* ''[[Babylon 5]]'' has a humanoid predator species named Zarg.

* Zurgane from ''[[Power Rangers Ninja Storm]]''.

 

== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==

 

== [[Toys]] ==
