| Post subject: | Galtan - A Backstory? |
So I was wondering if there's any backstory or history to Galtan. I haven't been able to find anything, which makes me think that it's just a character created by Exohead. But the similarity of the torso/arms (and of course the similarity in the name) to Baltan made me wonder if there's a known backstory to Galtan? |

Ohhh, I do recall reading that a while back. So it was probably just a generic monster done by in-house menko card artists. Anyone know if it was named Galtan at the time the cards were made, or did Exohead assign that name to the character? |

I did a "galtan" search this morning and re-read through a bunch of the old threads. I didn't stumble across that thread, but I do recall seeing it when it was active. |

Chapter 14 of Space Adventure Cobra is titled "The Diabolic Galtan". I have no idea if this is the same Galtan or not... |
