Ostor (Eukaris)

The name or term Scourge refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Scourge (disambiguation).

Ostor is the self-styled ruler of Eukaris.

Ostor (also known as the Scourge of Eukaris) believes in survival of the fittest and the rule of the mightiest. Not coincidentally, he sees himself as the top of both these categories. A former student of the now peaceful Backstop, he is savage and brutal, and now holds the Jungle Planet firmly in his steel jaws. Still, his sense of honor shows that somewhere beneath the exterior of the tyrant, some decency beats in his spark, it just needs to find a way out.

Ostor transforms into a robotic dragon. In robot mode, Ostor is armed with a massive axe formed from his tail.

“	"Strength is what leads the masses, commands their respect! My strength united an entire world!	”
—Ostor in the elevator, "Ostor"

History

Scourge never stops bragging

Long ago, Ostor was a student training under the tutelage of the wise Backstop. Frustrated by the lawlessness of his homeworld, as well as the weak rulers' lack of backbone in dealing with the many criminal elements that preyed upon the people of the land, Ostor turned his back on his master's teachings and waged a revolutionary war, with one message to his enemies: bend to his will or be destroyed. Ostor's immense strength and force of arms saw him seize power over the Jungle Planet, but over time, his lofty ideal of bringing peace and safety to a chaotic world gave way to merely maintaining order under his iron fist.

Notes

• The toy's instructions and the show's CGI model depict the yellow spike on Scourge's axe as sticking straight up, parallel to the handle, but the molded detail on the toy indicates that it's supposed to be positioned at a right angle to the handle—it's the opposite, narrow end of the axe blade, y'see.
• Ostor's stock photography also shows his axe mistransformed - in this case, not changed at all from its beast mode configuration.
• In dragon mode, Ostor's voice deepens.
