Gorg Stinkrot

Gorg Stinkrot was an evil Ezermethalonian Elemenstor active during the Later Furniture Renaissance. Among his many crimes, Gorg attempted to undercover the evil and smelliferous Underpants of the Underdeep (see Book 5), and brought to life a deadly Nightstand, almost causing a war in the process (see Book 6). Gorg ultimately met his end at the hands of Borold Gravelsnot III, who doused him liberally with the last of the remaining Ornamental Dishwashing Liquid, then pressed "Rinse".

Gorg Stinkrot's sidekick, the Coded Black Potten, is also implicated in Gorg's all-too-timely death. Some sources believe that the Coded Black Potten was actually a Chaos Sloth Ninja in disguise, although there is little evidence to support this conjecture.

Gorg was an alumnus of the Institute Of Accoutermentia, where he was several years ahead of Felthar, and in the house of Slobodan.

It is considered likely by many that Gorg Stinkrot was actually a member of the secret and mysterious Keepers of the Forbidden Handbag, and that much of his evil lore remains enshrined in their sacred Money Pocket to this day. The reference in the above excerpt to the Slippers of Impunity has been the subject of heated debate, with most readers agreeing that they are a sly reference to the moccasins worn by Gavment Rayling in Book 4, and a vocal minority claiming that they are in fact the bedroom footwear of Zenethir Foulblade himself, granted special powers through their long contact with him.

Given the light-hearted and manic nature of the narrative of Book 5, some readers initially argued that Gorg was not actually evil at all, but rather just misunderstood. There was little support for this point of view, and it would probably have remained so, were it not for an interesting discovery. Some in the ELotH:TES fan community found (accidentally it is claimed) that the Gorg Stinkrot action figure had multiple layers of paint. If one carefully scratched away the Underpants of the Underdeep that the Gorg figure is wearing, a second set of underpants is revealed below. This second set has a teddy bear pattern on them. Most ELotH:TES fans discount this 'evidence', given that the action figure rights were purchased during Tycho Brahe's drinking and pill binge. It is also well established by Book 5 that Gorg never found the Underpants of the Underdeep, so for his action figure to be wearing them is considered tenous at best. This debate was eventually put (for the most part) to rest with the publishing of Book 6, wherein Gorg unleashed a Nightstand on the people of Ezermethalon. Some still argue that his first words upon his capture, "I thought it was an end-table," might not have been a lie, as most people cannot tell the difference between end tables and nightstands. Evil Gorg proponents point out that an Elemenstor of Gorg's level could never mistake the two.

It is agreed by both sides, however, that he was fond of Beef.

In recent movie news, Will Farrel is said to be in talks to play this character for an upcoming Lions Gate Films project.
