Zyorg

**Zyorg** is a location in *Turtle Man and DaPhantom* that is a completely different planet which Turtle Man, DaPhantom, Officer M. and Mort crashed landed on once, needing to collect different materials from it in order to fix Mort's Spaceship and return home. It is an aqueous planet filled with many alien materials and substances, little lifeform outside of talking objects and harsh terrain, yet surprisingly clean air. It has been implied that Mort used to live on this planet for a while before moving away, and now he just lives on his spaceship which travels everywhere.

## Description

The planet Zyorg is located very far away from Earth, in a completely different solar system filled with strange alien planets. This planet in particular is filled mostly with a strange, slimy liquid that isn’t harmful but is very viscous and not suitable for consumption, unlike Earth’s water. The surface of the planet is extremely craggy and made up of a strange, pale green rock that can form large monoliths and huge cave systems which stretch far underground and can be entered through some of the many huge cracks across the surface. Some of the monoliths or hills can flow a lot of the slimy liquid off of them, creating waterfalls and large lakes or rivers of the stuff if there is enough room. Zyorg is always covered in a sickly green sky and constant fog that makes it challenging to see far away, and instead of clouds there can be spotted small particles or streaks of energy flowing through the air. Underground there are many caves which are not only filled with unique treasures, but also dangers such as a burning hot blue liquid and many spikes which can cause serious injury.

On the surface of Zyorg, there can sometimes be found ruins of the past. These might include destroyed remnants of houses, castles, shops and even underground bunkers, with a lot of them being found in clusters which could suggest a presence of earlier civilisations who built villages here. Outside one of these ruined houses, there is a small sign whose text has mostly been smudged out but it still reads “M RT HOM” which could be the former home of Mort. Zyorg is inhabited mostly by strange objects that can talk and move around, but only do so when picked up and claim to be the object of truth.

## Background

Basically nothing is known about the origins of Zyorg, such as why there are only ruins left on the surface, why almost no forms of life are to be found there and why there is a strange atmosphere and liquids to be found. The planet is mostly roamed by just talking objects, which may have just been regular objects that were altered by the weird environment but this is not confirmed. Mort used to live on this planet for a while, building a small shack near a village where he lived for a bit before he left to pursue other planets with his ship, leaving it to rot away under the planet’s atmosphere. Mort would later revisit Zyorg unintentionally a few years later with his friends Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. after crashing his spaceship there by accident, leaving it in ruins. The four of them had to explore Zyorg and gather different materials from across the planet in order to collect resources to repair the ship. This included a trek into the sinister cave systems where they had to interact with some talking objects and defeat a giant monster in order to escape, mend the ship and return home.

## Trivia

* Though Mort himself has not told the guys that he used to live on Zyorg in the show, it can be interpreted that it used to be his home as there was an ancient statue that looked like him and also a ruined house which had a mostly decayed sign, but the letters M, R and T remained on it.
* Despite the air on Zyorg looking green and rather dangerous, it is actually safe to breathe in even without any equipment, like normal Earth air.
