Loc-Nar

The Loc-Nar is the framing device which holds Heavy Metal together. It has a variable size, but generally maintains a spherical shape.

It menaces the Girl in Grimaldi's house after turning the older man into biological waste. In fact, the Loc-Nar likes turning beings it dislikes into organic sludge (Harry Canyon). Or teleports them (Den). Or mutates them into a form more servile to its needs (Taarna).

The Loc-Nar is ultimately destroyed by the Girl, who turns out to be a Taarakian.
