VOD, also known as The VOD or Very Obvious Danger, is a monstrous indigenous life form from the planet Mycos. It is large, brutish and strong but in its heart wants tranquility and harmony. Unfortunately, because of its dangerous size and strength, it shys away from physical contact to preserve the safety of the intended recipient. Although intelligent, he can only  communicate via sounds, growls  and gestures.

VOD was observed lurking around the flora of the Van Dijk laboratory on Mycos where it was initially more of a legend than fact. Dr. Van Dijk made it his mission to find this creature and document its species for the science community. VOD remained elusive to his investigations only leaving behind trails of footsteps, discarded mushroom remnants and the odd bits of scavenged trash; most notably manhandled comicbooks. When Dr. Van Dijk sent a distress call to Captain Kas, she was saddened to find him missing upon her arrival, yet surprised to find VOD living amongst the refuse of the lab. Without being able to communicate with him directly, Captain Kas knows VOD has information about Dr. Van Dijk’s fate. So while trying to unravel this mystery, VOD remains aboard the ship serving as Captain Kas’  personal bodyguard and garbage disposal.
