From [this](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087332/?ref_=ttqt_qt_tt): \*Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you! \*Lots of English there but I’ve always loved the way that the actor delivers this with the attitude that everyone knows these terms. ---
