Book 1. (6 results) Tarnsman of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
2 235 There was another possibility I mentioned to my father—perhaps the planet had been in our system all the time, but had been undiscovered, unlikely though that might be, given the thousands of years of study of the skies by men, from the shambling creatures of the Neander Valley to the brillia...

12 90 Near one of the green stretches I saw what I first thought was a shadow, but as the tarn passed, it scattered into a scampering flock of tiny creatures, probably the small, three-toed mammals called qualae, dun-colored and with a stiff brushy mane of black hair.

Book 2. (8 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
2 18 Their concern was with their own remote and mysterious ends; to achieve these ends, human creatures were treated as subservient instruments.

9 139 "Those creatures that float in the street behind masks of silver," I asked, "are they truly women?" "Truly," said one of the men, restraining a laugh.
Details
10
13 147 The shrill rage of these masked creatures seemed to know no bounds, to verge on hysteria, on madness.
Details
10
14 10 Like most members of my Caste, more than the monstrous tarns, those carnivorous hawklike giants of Gor, I dreaded such creatures as the tiny ost, that diminutive, venomous reptile, orange, scarcely more than a few inches in length, that might lurk at one's very sandal and then, without provocation o...

19 67 I could imagine the terror of those poor creatures cringing in those traps beneath the ground waiting to hear the distant rush of water through the tunnels.

10
21 228 They were vital, splendid creatures, many of them undoubtedly exquisitely trained to delight the senses of a master.
Details
10
21 232 Were these marvelous creatures, each of whom already wore the graceful brand of the slave girl, any the less worthy than she? "No," I said to Targo.

Book 3. (37 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
21 56 While the creatures remaining on the floor continued their mournful paean, their fellow creatures on the walls and ceiling, still carrying their torches, and scattering wild shadows of their own bodies and those of swollen Priest-Kings against the ceiling, began to fill their golden vessels from the...

1 3 I had arrived four days before on tarnback at the black palisade that encircles the dreaded Sardar, those dark mountains, crowned with ice, consecrated to the Priest-Kings, forbidden to men, to mortals, to all creatures of flesh and blood.
Details
10
10 68 "Then there are creatures other than Priest-Kings who live here," I said.
Details
10
10 78 "They are timid creatures," said the Priest-King, "and I am afraid they have never been able to accustom themselves to the sight of your kind".
Details
10
12 3 The plaza was crowded, not only with Priest-Kings but even more with various creatures of other forms and natures.
Details
10
12 220 "Kusk would surely be displeased if his creatures were to be destroyed," I said.
Details
10
13 96 Indeed, even I myself, after my experience of the arthropod on the platform and the flat, sluglike beast on its transportation disk in the plaza, was growing accustomed to finding strange creatures in the Nest of the Priest-Kings.

15 114 How else could learning take place? This device is merely a comparatively considerate, swift and efficient means to an end that is universally regarded as desirable by rational creatures".
Details
10
21 51 I wondered at what manner of creatures they were.
Details
10
21 54 Then to my amazement, one by one, the strange creatures, disdaining the bars near the door began simply to pad up the almost vertical walls to the Priest-Kings and then, astonishingly, began to walk upside down on the ceiling.
Details
10
21 60 The Muls made no use of the bars and from this I gathered that they might have been placed where they were in ancient times before there were such creatures to serve Priest-Kings.
Details
10
25 11 I wondered how many more such creatures might dwell in similar passages and caverns near the tunnels of the Priest-Kings.
Details
10
25 113 There were several other creatures in the cases but I am not sure of their classification.
Details
10
25 122 As I gazed on this strange assemblage of creatures in the tiered cases it seemed clear to me that I must be gazing upon one of the vivaria of which I had heard Sarm speak.
Details
10
26 260 I wondered of the struggles of my own world as well as on Gor, struggles which over millennia had shaped the blood and inmost being of my species, perhaps conflicts over tunnels in cliffs to be fought with the savage cave bear, long dangerous weeks spent hunting the same game as the saber-toothed ti...

27 114 But on the platform before which these golden creatures stood there lay the Mother, perhaps blind, almost insensate, the large, feeble thing they revered, weak, brownish, withered, the huge worn body at last wrinkled and empty.
Details
10
27 151 I knew the unusual strength of Priest-Kings and I could well imagine the stresses and pressures that throbbed in the frames of those locked creatures as they rocked back and forth, to one side and another, each pressing and seeking for the advantage that would mean death to the other.
Details
10
27 153 I could now hear the sucking in of air through the breathing tubes of both creatures.
Details
10
28 19 It was the carriers of Gur but far from the Gur Chamber and I watched with something of awe as the long procession of humanoid creatures, two abreast, marched along the ceiling of the tunnel until they stopped above me.
Details
10
28 28 Al-Ka raised his arm and pointed to the creatures above us.
Details
10
28 34 I saw that the creatures above me, whom I shall now speak of as Gur Carriers, for they were no longer Muls, still carried their sacks of golden leather.
Details
10
28 37 "The Nest is dying," said one of the creatures hanging above me, "and we have determined that we will die free".
Details
10
28 78 And her fears were not lessened as she looked beyond me to see the creatures, undoubtedly hideous to her eyes, who clung spiderlike to the ceiling of the Vivarium chamber with their glowing Mul-Torches.
Details
10
28 179 And as they fought together they came, as creatures will, to respect one another and to rely on one another, becoming, incredibly enough, friends.
Details
10
28 188 Rumor had it that the only Muls whom Sarm had not ordered slain on sight were the Implanted Ones, among whom would be such creatures as Parp, whom I had met long ago when first I entered the lair of Priest-Kings.
Details
10
30 5 To one side I saw a brownish Priest-King, very thin and angular, wearing the appearances of age but yet his antennae seemed as alert as those of any one of the golden creatures.
Details
10
30 16 Though I felt no pain nor any of the discomfort I would have expected, I now understood that these creatures had infused into the very tissues of my brain one of the golden control webs that could be operated from the Scanning Chamber of the Priest-Kings.
Details
10
30 58 The translator was for the benefit of creatures such as Parp, who spent a good deal of time in the headquarters.
Details
10
30 71 These creatures, perhaps two hundred or more, were loosed and by means of covered transportation disks, piloted by Priest-Kings using oxygen systems internal to the disks, were driven toward the quarters of the Nest controlled by the unsuspecting Misk and his forces.
Details
10
30 80 Oddly enough, to human thinking, neither Misk nor Sarm would permit their humans to slay the Beetles, for Priest-Kings, for a reason which I will later relate, find themselves normally unwilling to slay or order the destruction of the dangerous, fused-winged creatures.
Details
10
31 68 I could see that neither of them had the least intention of injuring one of the lovely creatures in their power.
Details
10
31 217 The very globe and walkway seemed to lift and tremble but neither of the creatures locked together above me seemed to take the least notice.

16 63 It swims slowly and smoothly, its fins moving the water very little, which apparently contributes to its own concealment in a blind environment and makes it easier to detect the vibrations of its prey, any of several varieties of tiny segmented creatures, predominantly isopods.

16 95 These, in turn, become food for various flatworms and numerous tiny segmented creatures, such as isopods, which, in turn, serve as food for small, blind, white crayfish, lelts and salamanders.

2 1157 The platforms were white, and carried on the shoulders of ten men apiece; the wagon was brown, and was drawn by two large, brown, wide-horned, shaggy, oxlike shambling creatures, conducted by two men.

1 1339 To enter such a country and find him it seems to us useful to enlist the help of human beings, creatures of a sort which the red savages will understand to be of their own kind, creatures with whom they might be expected, for a price, to be cooperative.
Details
10
1 260 Such stories, for they were very old on Gor, probably go back thousands of years, dating from the times of very early Voyages of Acquisition, undertaken by venturesome, inquisitive creatures of an alien species, one known to most Goreans only as the Priest-Kings.
Details
10
1 293 I could see now, in the light of the lantern, that the fur of one of the creatures was a darkish brown, and the fur of the other was almost black.
Details
10
1 320 "Too," I said, "such things are proud, vain creatures.
Details
10
1 324 "They, too," I said, "like all rational creatures, have their sense of propriety and etiquette".

1 344 I had, in my adventures on Gor, met several of the confederates of such creatures, both male and female.
Details
10
1 393 Sinuously, slowly, the two creatures separated and then, slowly, seemed to rise and grow before us.
Details
10
1 400 Such creatures are primarily nocturnal.
Details
10
1 405 The creatures seemed to continue to grow before us.
Details
10
1 408 Standing as they were, upright, the larger of the two creatures was some nine feet tall, and the smaller some eight and a half feet tall.
Details
10
1 417 I looked across the table at the creatures.
Details
10
1 428 I did not take my eyes from the creatures.
Details
10
1 431 I was uncertain as to what alien protocols the creatures might expect us to observe.
Details
10
1 432 The creatures stood upright now but they could function as well on all fours, using the hind legs and the knuckles of the hands.
Details
10
1 435 In running, such creatures almost invariably, like the baboon, have recourse to all fours.
Details
10
1 446 "It seems to have been an ancient belief among such creatures," I said, "that thought was a function of the blood, rather than of the brain, a terminology which has apparently lingered in their common speech.
Details
10
1 470 There was a broad leather strap, too, running from the right shoulder to the left hip of the smaller of the two creatures.
Details
10
1 476 "Such creatures are not noted for their patience".
Details
10
1 489 "Such creatures do not care, usually, to be touched by humans," I said.
Details
10
1 498 Then, slowly, the smaller of the two creatures began to move.
Details
10
1 515 That the creatures had seen fit to utilize this convention, one of humans, was clear.
Details
10
1 519 To be sure, however, it was only the lighter colored, and smaller, of the two creatures, that with rings in its ears, which had performed these actions.
Details
10
1 525 It was thus placed, and oriented, in such a way that the Blood, which stood on the left, from their point of view, if it favored the right hand, or paw, as most such creatures do, rather like humans, could easily bend down and seize it up.
Details
10
1 531 The lips of the smaller of the two creatures drew back, exposing the fangs.
Details
10
1 539 "I do not trust such creatures," said Samos.
Details
10
1 542 The smaller of the two creatures turned to the larger.
Details
10
1 544 The speech of such creatures resembles a succession of snarls, growls, rasps and throaty vibrations.
Details
10
1 549 The smaller of the two creatures then busied itself with the device on the table.
Details
10
1 552 Shaking the head sideways, among rational creatures, may be taken as a negation of assent.
Details
10
1 558 I had, once or twice, heard such creatures speaking Gorean.
Details
10
1 601 The creatures, then, heard the name of Samos.
Details
10
1 603 This is different, it should be noted, with the names of the two creatures, 'Kog' and 'Sardak'.
Details
10
1 604 These names were given in Gorean phonemes, not in the phonemes of the creatures' own language.
Details
10
1 607 Presumably Samos and I could not have pronounced the actual names of the creatures.
Details
10
1 608 'Kog' and 'Sardak', however, doubtless correlated in some fashion, given some type of phonemic transcription found acceptable by the creatures, with their actual names.
Details
10
1 611 I saw the lips of the two creatures draw back.
Details
10
1 614 What would the Council of Captains know of such creatures, or of the warrings among worlds? He had not identified himself as being among the party of those forces arrayed against the ravaging, concupiscent imperialism of our savage colleagues.
Details
10
1 634 We knew that divisions as to tactics, if not ultimate objectives, existed among parties of such creatures.
Details
10
1 637 When Kog had made his response to the question I was, by intent, watching not him but the other of the two creatures.
Details
10
1 647 Such creatures, I gathered, had no clear idea of the nature of Priest-Kings.
Details
10
1 650 Priest-Kings, wisely, did not choose to directly confront such creatures.
Details
10
1 651 Not a little of the hesitancy and tentativeness of the militaristic incursions of such creatures was, I suspected, a function of their ignorance of, and fear of, the true nature and power of the remote and mysterious denizens of the Sardar.
Details
10
1 652 If such creatures should come to clearly understand the nature of the Priest-Kings, and the current restrictions on their power, in virtue of the catastrophic Nest War, I had little doubt but what the attack signals would be almost immediately transmitted to the steel worlds.
Details
10
1 660 The larger of the two creatures, during this exchange, was watching me.
Details
10
1 669 "Their race has not yet achieved species unification," said the larger of the two creatures, to his fellow.
Details
10
1 674 Such creatures, being territorial, individualistic and aggressive, much like men, would not be likely to find the bland idealisms of more vegetative organisms interesting, attractive or practical.
Details
10
1 676 All creatures are not the same, nor is it necessary that they should be.
Details
10
1 697 The creatures, of course, would not be familiar with council procedures.
Details
10
1 699 I admired the creatures.
Details
10
1 711 I suspected that the two creatures did not believe Samos when he protested to them that he could speak only on behalf of himself.
Details
10
1 789 Such creatures, perhaps thousands of years ago, had, it seemed, destroyed their own world.
Details
10
1 1297 I knew there were factions among these creatures.
Details
10
1 1312 I was truly amazed at the patience which the creatures exhibited.
Details
10
1 1359 I saw the eyes of the two creatures glinting like fiery copper plates.
Details
10
1 1367 "Fire!" With the titanic beating of wings the two tarns, the creatures mounted on them, took flight from the ruins of the tarn cot.
Details
10
1 1372 I saw the creatures mounted on the tarns, silhouetted against one of Gor's three moons, fleeing over the marshes.
Details
10
1 1376 What a titanic effort of will must have been necessary for them, creatures so ferocious and savage, to have controlled themselves as long as they had.
Details
10
2 25 "That possibility would not be unlikely to occur to such creatures," said Samos.
Details
10
6 53 It is a very large compound, probably because he also handles kaiila, and there must be running space for such active, agile creatures.

10
17 159 Had she been of Earth origin, of course, she would have been far less startled, for then such creatures would have been much more familiar to her.
