The Skark
The Skark is a character created by Kevin Dorman. The Skark also is Dorman's art alias on several websites, including deviantART, and MySpace. He's also a character in Dorman's w.i.p. comic book /book The Epic Adventures of Ghrodio (and His Ghrody Rangerz)

Background
The Skark was born March 3, 1973 in Zaube, Latvia to common stonechats. When The Skark was born, his parents saw that their son had been mutated somehow, growing gills, unable to fly, and looking more like a light-yellow penguin than a stonechat. His parents left him for dead. However, a long distance hiker happened to find him, and rescued the stranded bird. Since The Skark is the only member of his species, several organizations came to life in order to keep The Skark alive, most prominently, the The Skark Coalition. Since no bird of any variety needs several million dollars, The Skark was able to afford an education at MANCAT(Manchester College of Arts and Technology. Once he was done with his education, he moved back to Latvia. During his travels, he found a factory full of Lemmings, who, while incredibly intelligent, were being forced to go through hard physical labor, and even forced to spontaneously combust. The Skark was outraged at this abuse of such advanced creatures. He promptly bought the company, freed the lemmings, and sold the company again. He then hired all the free lemmings as his personal scientists, and bought a mansion in Latvia to accommodate them all.

Appearance
The Skark is a flightless, gilled bird who is usually seen wearing a tuxedo and monocle.
