Warmaster Gorrath, or just Gorrath is war master and leader of the Glorft.is the main antagonist of Megas XLR, although he would become less prominent of a threat later in the series (even a reluctant "ally" at one point). He is noted for his intense hatred of Coop and humans in general, who he once sought to conquer. Gorrath is also the war-master of the alien race known as the Glorft and is not against using his army to hunt down those he truly despises. He also has a commander as his second in command.
Biography
In the future, the Glorft fought an army of humans and were winning the battle against them. The resistance sent a group to travel back in time to stop the aliens from getting Megas, with Gorrath and his forces following them as well. However, they traveled too far into the past and found Megas redesigned by Coop. Gorrath tries to steal Megas and conquer the Earth, but is ultimately defeated. Upon retreating, he ordered his commander to travel back to their timeline and get reinforcements, only to find out that they're trapped in the past due to needing Megas to power the portal. Gorrath is Coop's arch nemesis. He followed Kiva with his army, in the Karajor back in time, to retrieve Megas. As a result, Gorrath tried to steal Megas on numerous occasions. In the episode "The Fat & the Furious", he found Megas' signal when Coop entered it into car show and went to Earth with his troops. Coop managed to defeat Gorrath again. After being defeated by Coop two times, his men created Mecha Megas, an evil robotic duplicate of Megas in the episode "Dude, Where's My Head?". Gorrath decides to pilot and face Coop himself. Coop didn't have his control car so he had to face the Glorft leader with piloting Megas manually. Luckily, he managed to get his car back and defeat Gorrath. Gorrath often launches attacks of fleets at Coop, in order to obtain Megas. He owned several mechs: standard mechs, U.M.D, and the Eradicator. Gorrath had also tried to get Megas destroyed several times.
Relationships
Coop - Gorrath is a fierce leader and seems to treat everyone with disdain. Many of his Soldiers appears to dislike him. Gorrath has an extreme hate towards humanity and Coop in particular, usually referring to him as, "lousy, stinking, monkey, earther."
He seems to grow to hate Coop even more every time he is defeated, which makes him sometimes behave irrationally, in one episode staying to defeat Coop meant he'd never be able to go home to which he snarled: "THEN WE WON'T GO BACK!".
Gorrath has no respect at all towards him, though when they were forced to escape together from the Alternate Dimension Earth ruled by Evil Coop as well as fight together against Evil Coop and Evil Kiva (and they're drones) back in their normal dimension.
After the battle, Gorrath did offer to shake his hand. However, Coop ruined this gesture by accidentally tripping and seemingly attacking Gorrath, causing him to revoke his gesture.
Personality and Traits
Gorrath harbors an intense hatred towards humans, namely Coop. He shows very little to no respect towards him whatsoever, even when they had to team up in "Rearview Mirror Mirror". Being the leader of a hostile, war-like alien species, Gorrath personally told Coop that he was the one stain on his perfect record of conquest.
Gorrath said that he led his people to victory in over 100 wars and his elite guards slammed their battle-axes on the ground in supportive applause, hinting that he has *some* charismatic traits even though he abuses them on a regular basis. He craves victory and demands that his troops succeed no matter the costs or threatening to 'have their jhorbloks' should they fail him. He was also willing to go to extreme lengths to win, such as having his fellow Glorft build a giant planet-destroying laser cannon on his flagship the Karajor to annihilate the Earth along with Megas and attempting to assassinate Kiva's ancestor in Coop's time.
When the Glorft captured Coop when he teleported himself aboard the Karajor in "The Driver's Seat", Gorrath sadistically tortured him by crushing a Mega-Slush drink and (begrudgingly) ate a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich in front of him in order to tell him how to pilot Megas, specifically on how to use the time-flux drive (even though Coop had unwittingly already destroyed it).
Apparance
Gorrath is a tall, slimy green alien with red eyes, sharp teeth, tentacles on both sides of his face, and metal armor all over his body except for his face. Beneath his armor was a muscular green body.

Trivia
- His title, "Warmaster", maybe a nod to Warhammer 40k's military rank that was infamously given to Horus Lupercal before his uprising against the Emperor.
