Oderus Urungus is a character, played by Dave Brockie, in the rock band GWAR. He appears as an intergalactic humanoid barbarian with devil horns and a meaty looking face, and always carries around a long sword named "Unt Lick". According to GWAR mythos, Oderus Urungus is 28 million years old, and was assembled on a planet called Scumdogia in "Syntho Womb 5" after pieces of his moldy war frame were found scattered throughout the Galaxy. Oderus Urungus is also the only character to have existed in every incarnation of GWAR, having started as a guitar player, then moving to bass, and finally the vocals. GWAR is a thrash metal/punk band formed in 1985 by a collective of artists and musicians at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. ... Swiss longsword, 15th or 16th century Sword (from Old English sweord, cognate to Old High German Schwert, literally wounding tool from a Proto-Indo-European root *swer- to wound, to hurt) is a term for a long edged weapon, fundamentally consisting of a blade, usually with two edges for striking... A planet is generally considered to be a relatively large mass of accreted matter in orbit around a star. ...

History

Like all of the GWAR characters, Oderus underwent several design changes since his inception. He first started out as a relatively normal-looking character with a papier-mâché helmet. In 1986-7, along with Chuck Varga, Brockie created the now-famous shoulder pads (originally of papier-mâché, but later of foam rubber, and then latex, two-part epoxies and fibreglass). These would remain relatively unchanged (except for materials used) until 1994, when Brockie experimented with a new style - the left arm resembled a very mutated tentacle. The change did not last, and by the year's end, the design returned to the World War I-era German helmet-shaped shoulder pads. This version can be found in the "Saddam A Go-Go" video from the "Rendezvous With RagNaRok" movie. In 2001, after the filming of "It's Sleazy", Brockie redesigned the shoulderpads to their current design - two skulls with longer, more blade-shaped points. The disfigured face has remained relatively unchanged since 1988, with slight additions made in 2001 (the redesign of Oderus was in collaboration with the medieval violence-themed Violence Has Arrived album, released in November of that year) - two horns, roughly six or seven inches in length. Papier-mâché around a form such as a balloon to create a pig. ...

Controversy

Oderus attracts trouble wherever he goes, including one instance where, according to the storyline of GWAR's America Must Be Destroyed album and "Phallus In Wonderland" movie, Corporal Punishment of the Morality Squad ambushes and detaches his (Oderus') alleged penis, the Cuttlefish of Cthulhu. This is detailed in the song "Ham On The Bone." Since that incident (which is based on a real incident in 1990 where Brockie was arrested by police after a North Carolina concert), Oderus has made it a point to appear with the Cuttlefish whenever possible (though some tours downplayed the "fish," GWAR's more recent tours have utilized a re-designed Cuttlefish as a means to spray the audience with various fluids).
