Commander Yurak was commander of the Doom Forces.
Fiction
Voltron: Defender of the Universe Continuity
- Based on Sadak from Beast King Golion
In both versions, he is disgraced for his losses to Voltron. He is transformed into a gigantic Robeast in hopes of redeeming himself. However, he is killed by GoLion/Voltron. Yurak's death is one of the few onscreen character deaths that were retained for the American Voltron release.
An Old commander, Yurak obviously survived his fair share as shown by his cybernetic eye and arm. As a Robeast, he mostly retained his old appearance except with longer ears and an additional robotic arm. Robeast Yurak also kept his personality and intelligence unlike Avok and Twyla's brother.
Military Career
Yurak had presumably been in the Doom military for decades by the time of the massive bombing of Arus. [1] In the aftermath of the return of Voltron, he led several raids against Arus, often assisted by the witch Haggar and her robeasts.
After failing to destroy Voltron and conquer Arus, Yurak begged for mercy from King Zarkon and the nobles of Doom, but the king banishes him. Just then, Prince Lotor intervenes, offering Yura
k one last chance. Yurak would become a robeast, and take down the lions while Lotor had Keith distracted. Yurak was able to take down four lions, but Keith returned in Black Lion, Voltron was combined, and Yurak was slain. [2]
Other Appearances
Yurak also appears in the Voltron video game for mobile phones. Robeast Yurak is an unlockable playable fighter in arena mode.
