Plot
Golan the Insatiable is a demigod warlord who reigned the dimension of Gkruool with an iron fist before he was banished to Earth by rebel forces. Golan ends up at the home of the Beekler Family in the town of Oak Grove, Minnesota, befriending the family's goth-like daughter Dylan, who becomes his follower as he learns about Earth's customs while causing havoc in Oak Grove as he plots to return to his world.
In the season two reboot of the series, Golan is accidentally summoned to Earth by Dylan. He stays with her after finding out that his acolyte Kruung has overthrown him for control of Gkruool during his absence. Besides learning about Earth's customs and causing havoc in Oak Grove, Golan plans to build up his power so that he can return to Gkruool and take revenge on Kruung.
