I never knew this, but:

krang

\Krang\, n. [Cf. D. kreng a carcass.] The carcass of a whale after the blubber has been removed. [Written also crang and kreng.]

Am I a little slow in knowing this? Or is this just as surprising to you all?

Here's proof.

That means i can call Krang "Crang"?

~~Reznorite420~~ · 09-15-2002, 03:24 PM

What I want to know is whether or not the makers of the cartoon knew this at the time...

*Nickokapo* · 09-15-2002, 03:26 PM

Well...his brain has been removed from his body and he was called krang...aaaaaaaand when a whale's blubber is removed from their body they call it krang...um...
yuck...

maybe it was just a coincidence?

I suggest we form an exploration unit of Eskimo TMNT fans to find out!!!!!

Ooh... How interesting! I always thought Krang's name was made up. Maybe the writers did a bit of research before naming the pink brain.

**Machias Banshee** · 09-15-2002, 07:09 PM

Krang's named after a chunk of whale fat?! Jeez, you'd think that he, being an overlord and all, would have a better name...

~~Reznorite420~~ · 09-16-2002, 05:38 PM

Welllllllll, as it was said, Krang is a brain, hence a leftover organ...

Speaking of which, I know there isn't much history behind it, but was Krang always the way he was, or did he have an ACTUAL body before being banished?

I know there were one or two episodes with other Krangish looking things, so that might be a dumb question now that I think of it...

**Kali** · 09-16-2002, 08:12 PM

Well, in the cartoon they said several times that Krang had been seperated from his body somehow. Whether someone did this to him or something else happened after he was banished, we have no idea.

Peter himself has said (well, written) that "Krang was actually the disembodied brain of a humanoid alien" explaining the difference between him and the Utroms.

**Karpo_007** · 09-17-2002, 01:40 AM

where has he said(written) that?

**Kali** · 09-17-2002, 08:40 AM

It was in response to one of the questions in the back of the latest comic book, Vol. 4, Issue #5. Quite a few readers seem to be confusing the Utroms for him, so I'm sure he's said it in other places.

**Karpo_007** · 09-17-2002, 10:47 AM

Oh! I haven't read the #5 yet because i got my volume 1 and i tought i read them all before reading any of volume 4.
