Sneaky Darklord with a spindly, skeletal body, bird-like legs and a brain-like head with fly's eyes. Armed with a trident/pole-arm. Usually coloured in shades of green, blue and purple.
Gnaag becomes leader of the Darklords (the fourth and last) after the death of Haakon, by means of manipulation and intrigue. He then began a clever strategy to take over Magnamund, which almost succeeds. He is the "boss monster" at the end of Lone Wolf 12: The Masters of Darkness, the last in the original series of Lone Wolf gamebooks. If the book goes according to plan, Gnaag is slain and the Darklords are destroyed.
Gnaag is also the nominal ruler of Mozgoar, although apparently resident at Helgedad.

His predecessors as leader were Vashna, Zagarna and Haakon. The deaths of these rulers and the exile of Slutar left only fifteen other Darklords subordinate to Gnaag.

Heroic TransFormer, a member of the original good faction in TransFormers Generation 1 and several subsequent series. (Known as Seibertons or Cybertrons in Japan, and renamed as Maximals for Beast Wars).
Most Autobots transform into cars and land-based vehicles. Diverse in personality, they are usually given "human" traits in their various depictions (fallible, open to error, with personality differences, etc.). Their political economy is based on generosity and on protecting others, especially the weak. As an army, they seem to have been set up solely to fight the Decepticons, who pre-existed them as a fighting force.
The Autobot insignia is a red head, which looks quite like the head of the Autobot Jazz. In the cartoons, Autobots always fire red laser bolts, distinguishable from the Decepticons' purple bolts.
The Autobots nearly always win, usually because of the Decepticons' arrogance and stupidity, despite their usual inferior starting position (itself pretty strange since Autobot toys and named characters have always outnumbered their Decepticon counterparts). This gives a "moral" dimension to TransFormers stories.
Initially led by Optimus Prime, a strong-willed and steadfast yet also self-questioning and insecure Autobot who transformed into a lorry cab. Later led by a number of characters including Rodimus Prime, Ultra Magnus and Fortress Maximus.
Eventually won the war on Earth (where both sides had crashed), apparently due to their cooperation with humans. Were attempting to re-take Cybertron (long a Decepticon preserve) when Unicron struck in Transformers: The Movie. Later took over and rejuvenated Cybertron in series 3 (and after, in Japan) of the cartoon, although in the comics, the war on Cybertron continues indefinitely. (One obscure comic strip in an annual depicts the Autobots eventually winning the war, only to start fighting one another over who was to rule the spoils... hardly in character for the Autobots, probably written by a Hobbesian).

A world in Ian Watson's Warhammer 2000 novels. It is a hive world in which humans live in vast enclosed cities or "hives", while the remainder of the planet remains wild.
The world is destroyed by the Empire at the end of the first book, to eradicate Genestealers and a demonic hydra-creature which had been planted at its core by a secret cabal.

It's a pretty strange name for a planet. Like, a Russian dictator who's put on weight? I'm surprised anyone settled there.
