Gorkels

Gorkels are green-skinned humanoid aliens from the world Gorkel/"World of the Gorkels".

Biology
Gorkels are a green-skinned, green-haired humaniod alien species with pointed ears. Although their skin and hair are traditionally colored green, their princess, her uncle, and his footman have pink skin, like the human caucasians, the princess have blonde hair, her uncle and his footman have black hair.

Besides the princess's uncle being able to cast sleep spells (what was used only once and off screen), they appear to have no superpowers. But to compensate, they have technology capable of modifying the environment to make it behave in ways it shouldn't, like vines grabbing at outsiders and tickling them, or creating an erupting volcano out of absolute nothingness, or even create a whirlpool in a calm lake and use that same whirlpool to knock outsiders out of said lake.

History
Terry, Robota and Omnus crash-landed on their planet because they had been caught by an "astro tornado". At this crash-landing, they were spotted by a Gorkel called Wise One, who, thinking it was part of a prophecy in their sacred book, asked the travelers to rescue the Princess (shudder) Ugly, who was in the castle of her uncle, Vermin the Vile, who had kidnapped her and put her on a sleep spell to take the throne in her place, and in return they would repair Terry's damaged spaceship.

Terry, Robota and Omnus accepted the challenge and, after some obstacles orchestrated by Vermin, they managed to reach in the Domed City and, after they had threatened Vermin's footman, they got in Princess (shudder) Ugly's room, discovering, to their surprise, that Princess (shudder) Ugly was not ugly, or she was if you think beauty is ungly. With a kiss on her cheek, Terry woke up Princess Ugly, who slapped him as soon as she woke up for kissing her without her consent. When the spell was broken, the Mayhem Maker went berserk, being finally revealed the Domed City was indeed the Doomed City, with every of its citzens running away in spaceships, and the main characters stoling a Skimmer Craft just before the Domed City exploded.

After they returned to the outskirts of the princess's castle, Wise One returned Terry's spaceship to him repaired, as promised. Princess Ugly asked Terry to stay there with her, correcting herself to "us" and making it clear that his friends were as welcome as he was, but he denied because he needed to find his parents and the secret of their ship, the Space Warp, surprising the princess and her subjects because the Space Warp crash-landed on their planet too.

Exploring the Space Warp, Terry found a video log and activated it, showing a video recording (just the audio, because the video portion had been demaged by age) of the captain of the confederation-cosmos cruiser "Space Warp", Terry's dad, saying that he and his crew were under attack by alien forces an must abadon ship. They were taking to the life crafts and were going to the nearest available world, Planetoid 17-Z, then he signed off. After Terry having processed this information, he said goodbye to Princess Ugly and went looking for his parents.

They ruturned a few issues later, after Vermin sending a message to Terry pretending to be Princess Ugly with CGI and say Terry's parents were on Gorkel planet just to attract Terry back. Cutting to the real Princess Ugly, it's revealed that she has been sad since Terry left her, even Wise One was worried that she would never be happy again, as the sacred book said she would never be happy unless she was with Terry, but there was nothing written about Terry returning. Anyway, Terry is back. He told Princess Ugly about the message he recieved but she denied she send any message, with them both concludind it was Vermin all along. Wise One warned about a huge, slimey beast would enter the room, according the sacred book, but it ended up being a cute little songbird that landed on Terry's shoulder. But this cute little songbird revealed itself as being Scavage, Vermin's shape-changing vulture, that, taking advantage of being on Terry's shoulder, it kidnapped him. Trying to help, Robota threw the sacred book towards the vulture hitting its head making it dizzy for a while. Scavage quickly regained consciousness and picked up the holy book and flew towards Vermin's castle. Princess Ugly and Robota fought over the loss of the sacred book, forcing Omnus to separate them, just in time for everyone to get a message from Vermin greeting them and using the sacred book as an object of exchange so he could have Terry.

Terry thought of giving himself up to Vermin, but Princess Ugly commanded him to stay. Vermin demanded one last answer, what Princess Ugly responded with "Terry stays here, Vermin!", eliciting an angry but at the same time worried response from the Wise One, and Vermin was sure that denial wouldn't be long until they see things his way. He signed off and provoked an earthquake with his rebuild Mayhem Maker.

After the earthquake passed, Terry helped to resolve some of the destruction caused by the aforementioned earthquake, while giving Wise One a moral lesson by saying that it's time they learned how to live without the sacred book. The book, it's somethink to learn from, not to rule their lifes. Wise One tried to argue that they've had this book for centuries, but Terry replied that they didn't have it then and time is running out. After the destruction was resolved, Princess Ugly kissed Terry as a token of thanks.

Meanwhile, Vermin revealed that he had just created an android identical to Princess Ugly. After he substituted the real princess for the android princess, he tried to kidnap Terry, just for find out he made the android princess "too identical" to the real princess and the android saved Terry. Omnus and Robota saw that the android princess was an android and they foud the real princess. Vermin tried to run away, but he was followed by them to his castle, where Vermin reveals to everyone why he did all this: it's because Vermin is Terry's father. Vermin revealed a videotape taken the day Terry was born. The videotape wasn't convincing enough for Terry, so he asked Wise One, who, once he retrieved his holy book, told him that, if he was really Vermin's son, he would have his family's birthmark. He had. He got convinced by it, Vermin began to treat him abusively, like putting him to sleep in a room with nothing but rats.

Next day, Vermin asked Terry to start killing other Gorkels, but he didn't. So Vemin hypnotized Terry and trained him to kill his friends.

While that, Robota discovered a book that shows where Terry's mother is.

While that, Vermin gave Terry the ultimate test of loyalty: killing his friends for real. With drone missiles on a raind to destroy the Gorkels Royal Guard. Robota was able to stop Terry's attack and, in the process, end his hypnosis. Robota showed the book that shows where Terry's mother is. So they went after her, meanwhile, Vermin, angry at Terry's betrayal, went after them.

Terry found his mother's spaceship on a planet in the middle of nowhere on which, via videotape, it was revealed to them that Terry's mother had made this planet her new home because of a flaw in the ship's system. Terry decided to explore the planet to see if he could find his mother, but was immediately stopped by the planet guard. But one of the guards noticed that he had the same hair color as his queen, who happens to be Terry's mother. The guards explained that there was a terrible plague on their planet when Terry's mom arrived, so she helped to cure many people and taught them how to avoid illnesses, so in gratitude they made her their queen. But unfortunately Terry can't see the queen because she was taken prisoner by The Hood, a local space pirate.

The Hood, by luck, was eavesdropping the guards and found out about Terry. So The Hood went to meet Terry with his mother. Omnus tried to attack The Hood, but The Hood shot him, makinge Omnus knee. The Hood proposed to Terry a simple trade: his mother for his ship. Terry hand his ship to The Hood, even knowing The Hood would be unstoppable with it. Everything was going fine until Vermin interfered, shooting the ground between The Hood and Terry, making The Hood think it was all a trap. He ran with Terry's mother to Terry's ship and began to take off. Vermin bragged about the feat until he realized he screwed Terry's mother. So Terry took Vermin's ship despite his warnings about how dangerous it was to use Vermin's ship against Terry's ship. Both ships began to attack each other and dodge each other's attacks until Terry managed to enter his own ship and faint The Hood with one punch. Terry then untied his mother. Vermin arrived where they were and Terry's parents began fighting over Terry's custody while The Hood woke up without anyone noticing. Omnus noticed The Hood escaping and warned Terry who captured him, removing his hood and revealing that The Hood is actually Vermin's true son. Vermin, expecting his son to be as bad as he is, unfortunately sees his expectations coming true with his son attacking him.

As Terry prepares to leave he says goodbye to the person he believed to be his mother as she apologizes for things not being how he expected them to be and if he didn't find his real parents he would know where to find her.
