Korrek, a barbarian warrior from Katharta, is a Steve Gerber's Conan parody. The character was an ally of some of Gerber's better known characters: Howard the Duck, Man-Thing, Jennifer Kale, and Dakimh the Enchanter. Like Conan, Korrek is from a polytheistic culture. Korrek seems to be even more religious than Conan. Unlike Conan, whose worship centered on one god (Crom), Korrek seems to invoke and worship more gods of his native religion, worships gods including Agogin, Bharph, Rabis, and the Dog-Gods Zokk and Maftra.
