| “ | Humans of Earth, I come in peace. You need not fear me, I mean you no harm. However, it is important to note that most of you will not survive the next 24 hours. And those of you that do survive will be enslaved and experimented on. You should, in no way, take any of this personally. It's just business. So, just to recap, I come in peace, I mean you no harm, and you all will die. Gallaxhar out. | „ |
| ~ Gallaxhar |
Gallaxhar is the main antagonist of DreamWorks' 18th full-length animated feature film, Monsters vs. Aliens, and its video game adaptation.
He is an anthropomorphic squid-like alien warlord as well as the leader of the invading alien force trying to take over Earth. He is also the arch-nemesis of Ginormica.
He was voiced by Rainn Wilson, who also played Wicked Jack in Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space, Jack Morris in The Meg, Lex Luthor in the DC Animated Movie Universe, Dwight K. Schrute in The Office, Gargamel in Smurfs: The Lost Village and Peace Master in Adventure Time.
Biography[]
Past[]
In the past, Gallaxhar destroyed his home planet for seemingly no reason, but he incompletely states that he did it just because he disliked his parents and had an argument with his wife. After the destruction of his home world, Gallaxhar escaped on his ship, putting himself into cryogenic sleep.
Monsters vs. Aliens[]
When his computer detects Quantonium on Earth, Gallaxhar awakes from his cryogenic sleep and sends a Robot Probe to retrieve the Quantonium and bring it to him. When the monsters defeat his probe, he almost sends another probe, but his computer tells him that the "carbon-based life-form" (Ginormica) is now too strong, and so that the Quantonium cannot be retrieved by a robot.
He comes to Earth and sends a message to the citizens of Earth, then captures Ginormica, and in the process blasts Insectosaurus with his ship's phasoid cannon.
When Ginormica is on board the ship, she frees herself and Gallaxhar flees to his Extraction Chamber where he successfully gets the Quantonium out of Ginormica. He then uses the Quantonium to clone himself four times, this being enough to create an evil clone army of himself.
After Dr. Cockroach destroys his computer by stepping on the color buttons in the correct order while dancing, the self-destruct system sounds. He attempts to escape, but he is once again forced into combat with Ginormica. She then gets her Quantonium back and escapes on Insectosaurus (who is now a butterfly). Gallaxhar tries to escape in an escape-pod, but fails and is killed in the explosion of his ship, ending his threat to Earth.
Personality[]

| ~ Gallaxhar revealing to Susan that he destroyed his home planet. |
Gallaxhar is a truly egocentric, intelligent, evil, manipulative, strange, and domineering warlord. He is portrayed as a ruthless, oppressive, uptight strict, and to the letter totalitarian despot. Sometimes, Gallaxhar can get into arguments with the Computer. One of his most unmerciful and objectionable plans is when he tries to eliminate all life on Earth in order to repopulate it. He is also ridiculously genocidal, as he murdered his own species for seemingly petty reasons, which implied to be bad upbringing and his wife nagging him to have kids.
Equipment[]
- Phasoid blaster: Gallaxhar created a special blaster which all of his clones have one. His Robot Probes have a phasoid blaster in their eye and his ship also has a phasoid blaster which he used to take out Insectosaurus. The handheld version serves as a laser gun that can kill several clones perfectly with one shot. The blaster can fire shoot small balls of energy to larger balls of energy. The other utility is that it can identify structures and species of a living being, thus differentiate between a human and an alien disguised as a human.
