 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?

But I thought that about the Zag too, and I was wrong.

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?

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