Information
Name	Krom
Species	Fingarian
Occupation	Barbarian, royalty

Krom the Barbarian is a barbarian from Fingaria. Despite his incredible size, he is actually considered small for someone from Fingaria. He has skill in fighting (not to kill), killing, and trying to sleep with women. He sleeps standing up in a "batter's position". He keeps a dream journal, which mostly focuses on his desires to have a relationship with a bear. Krom is really into bears and has recurring dreams of them. He has many adventures, and often plunders temples, both existing temples and abandoned temples. He went into barbarism mostly because his father was a barbarian, but he dreams of settling down with a wench (or possibly a bear). Usidore seems to believe that he may be a speaker of animals, someone who can talk with animals using their mind as well as control them.

He spent some time in Gratax where he burned bridges and was run out of town. He's been run out of many towns. Villagers also often throw rocks at him or throw his sandals on the roof to punish him.

On more than one occasion, Krom has gone into a rage and destroyed The Vermilion Minotaur, killing many people.

As King Krom successfully builds a tourist trade in Fingaria, and with the people's support marries a bear, named Grylls. But when he cheats on his bear wife with another bear (Boo-Boo) his people declared he had desecrated the throne, and he is sent into exile. In his depression he shame-eats, gaining roughly a hundred pounds in muscle-mass. He encounters Arnie, Chunt, & Usidore at the Fingarian hidden temple, where he is seeking a means to win back his people's favor. Having discovered a sacred artifact deep in the temple, Arnie gives the the prize to Krom for both safe-keeping, and so that Krom can return home a hero and retake the throne.¹

Krom hides the artifact in the Fingarian snake pit. He also loses several items in the ocean, including his dream journal, and while swimming looking for them encounters the S.S.Stephanie on its way to rescue Arnie from Black Spire Volcano. He joins the rescue party in their assault on the island, neutralizes the threat of the goblin workers, helps save Arnie and lives out a dream of sledding with his friends.

Krom the Barbarian is played by Mark Logsdon.
