Smek, formerly known as Captain Smek, is the main antagonist of the Home franchise.
He is the villainous main protagonist of Almost Home, the main antagonist of DreamWorks' 30th full-length animated feature film Home (which is based on the 2007 children's book The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex) and the TV series Home: Adventures with Tip & Oh.
He is the arrogant leader of an alien race called the Boov who are trying to find a place to hide from their enemy, the Gorg. Eventually, they settle on Earth, until one of them, a Boov named Oh, makes a mistake. Captain Smek sends an Alien Traffic Cop named Kyle to hunt down Oh for what he did. He was the one who stole the egg from the Gorg. He is also the archenemy of Oh, Tip Tucci, and Kyle.
In both the short and film, he was voiced by Steve Martin, who also voiced Hotep in The Prince of Egypt, Orin Scrivello in Little Shop of Horrors and Mr. Chairman in Looney Tunes: Back in Action. In the TV series, he is voiced by Nolan North.
Smek is cowardly and arrogant, qualities celebrated by the Boov, who are "the best at running away".

Trivia
The name "Smek" is a Swedish word that means "caressing".
He is the fifth 3D computer-animated movie villain to be an alien, the first being King Goobot, the second being Gallaxhar, the third being General Grawl, and the fourth being Lena Thackleman. However, unlike all four of them, Smek isn't truly evil, and would do anything to protect the Boov from any certain threats.
