First appearance: i
As a supporting figure in Tarzan and the Ant Men, Elkomoelhago is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
King of Veltopismakus and father of Princess Janzara.
Elkomoelhago governs the densely packed domes of Veltopismakus, where hundreds of thousands live under the rigid caste system of warriors, slaves, and nobles. His interest in the remarkably large prisoner known as Zuanthrol brings Tarzan into the heart of the royal dome and its intricate politics. The king's whim shapes the ape-man's fortunes, placing him at the mercy of a court where every courtesy conceals a calculation.
