Attention, All Aliens, destroy all monsters!
―Gallaxhar.[src]

Gallaxhar is the main antagonist in the DreamWorks film, Monsters vs. Aliens. He was voiced by Rainn Wilson.

Background[]

Originally Gallaxhar originated from a planet outside the solar system, however eventually he destroyed his home planet due to a number of traumas he suffered in his youth.

He is a squid-like alien with light blue skin and four eyes and purple blood. He is obsessed with an element called Quantonium. It is his search for Quantonium that leads him to Earth. There, he plans to extract the Quantonium, clone an army in his own image and begin a new civilization.

Unfortunately, his first attempt to retrieve the Quantonium, by robot probe, fails. His second attempt, which required him to visit Earth, nearly succeeds. He was able to capture Susan, whose body contained the Quantonium, and extract the element from her. However, her monster friends save her and program the computer to cause the ship to self destruct. Although Gallaxhar and most of his clones are destroyed with the ship, a few clones escape on their personal hovering devices.

Personality[]

Gallaxhar is a very evil ruthless alien dictator, and sometimes get into arguments with the Computer.

Trivia[]

  • Before Rainn Wilson was cast to voice Gallaxhar; Jim Carrey, the late Robin Williams, Nicolas Cage, Alan Tudyk, Harry Shearer, Tony Hale, Patton Oswalt, Clancy Brown, Eddie Izzard, and David Harbour were considered for the role.
  • Gallaxhar has the highest body count out of any DreamWorks villain, since he obliterated an entire planet and used a giant robot that possibly killed thousands.
  • Gallaxhar's mothership contains over three hundred Robot Probes (one hundred in each bay).
  • Gallaxhar is Rainn Wilson's first voice acting role.
  • Gallaxhar is currently the only known male main antagonist to go up against a female protagonist in a DreamWorks film.
  • When ordering his army to “Destroy All Monsters”, was likely an unintentional reference to the 1968 Japanese film Destroy All Monsters. Which featured both Aliens and the classic Toho monsters such as Godzilla.
