Zoanthrohago belongs to the Zertol, one of the higher castes of Veltopismakus, and his authority is such that armed warriors escort captives to his presence for judgment. He is drawn into the schemes of Komodoflorensal, who claims to serve him while secretly using that pretense to keep Tarzan safe. His decisions about the two strangers set the course for their early survival inside the miniature city.
