GOROBOR (1929)


 


SOURCE: Tarzan at the Earth's Core (Blue Book, September 1929)

DESCRIPTION: "At sight of the Horibs the Gyor emitted a terrific bellow that shook the ground and, lowering his head, he charged straight for them. Fully fifty of the Horibs on their horrid mounts had emerged from the ravine. Tarzan could see that the riders were armed with long lances—pitiful and inadequate weapons, he thought, with which to face an enraged triceratop. But it soon became apparent that the Horibs did not intend to meet that charge head-on. Wheeling to their right they formed in single file behind their leader and then for the first time Tarzan had an exhibition of the phenomenal speed of the huge lizards upon which they were mounted, which is comparable only to the lightning-like rapidity of a tiny desert lizard known as a swift. " (Tarzan at the Earth's Core by Egdar Rice Burroughs)

NOTES: The Gorobor are huge lizards much like giant Komodo Dragons that the Horibs use as mounts.

HISTORY: The gorobors do not appear any where outside the horib territories in Pellucidar.
