Moltar

Moltar is the lava man character on Space Ghost: Coast to Coast on Adult Swim. He originally appeared six times on the 1966 Hanna-Barbera cartoon Space Ghost, where he was one of the arch enemies of Space Ghost. He was then captured, along with the bandleader Zorak and the cat-alien Brak by Space Ghost to help him on his talk show entitled Space Ghost: Coast to Coast.

His role on the original 1966 show was for only 6 episodes as one of the arch enemies of Space Ghost. He sent his molten monsters to attack Space Ghost and his allies, and was known as the lord of the mighty ovens that can incinerate any and all foes.

After the stunt on the 1966 cartoon, he was captured by Tad Ghostal (also known as Space Ghost) to help with his talk show. He was given the job of monitoring the controls with a joystick. His joystick controls all aspects of the show including the lowering of the monitor, adjusting oxygen levels for the guest, switching between broadcast channels, and other tasks associated with the running of the show. He and Zorak frequently make fun of Tad Ghostal for his ineptitude, and frequently gets blasted by Tad's powerbands. Moltar is a big fan of CHiPs, and of Erik Estrada. When Erik finally appears on the show, Moltar frequently asks about the show and what it was like, and makes up a list of questions for Tad to ask Erik.
