Meltok is a biomechanoid and a creation of the controllers. He calls The Deadly Slues his home, and rules it like his own little fiefdom. He is also a bloodthirsty killer, tricking travelers, especially racers, into following him either to The City of Mists or other "kill zone" type areas where he sics his gramoots onto them, overwhelming the travelers and killing them in the process. Among all biomechanoids, he's one of the rare super hybrids, meaning that he is a combination of several animals (most noticeably a moose and a gorilla) and thus very odd in appearance and form. Generally he is not aggressive nor threatening, aside from being intimidating in size and appearance. But he is very crafty, silver tongued, deceitful and evil. The first encounter that the reader has with Meltok is in The White Mountains at the end of the book, and the early parts of Dark Wanderings. However, he meets his match when he attempts to trap, and then kill Simon's team within the City of Mists. That battle leads to the destruction of most of his gramoots at the hands of Angus and his Wolflings. Because of his attack on Simon's team, and having become tired of Meltok's constant attacks on, not just racers, but his own people, Maul Ratinar confronts him shortly after the battle, and erases him from existance using a controller rewriting beam, forever removing Meltok from being a threat to any whithin the White Mountains. The remainder of his gramoots that survive the battle in the City of Mists are later hunted down by the wolflings and exterminated.
