When our heroes reach the Circle of the Suns, they're shocked and confused to find a Skeksis waiting at the door. However this strange new figure is in fact the only Skeksis to have seen the light. The white sheep of the Skeksis, so to speak. Although he's overly dramatic, shouts a lot and can't seem to get used to the fact that the group's only Podling is not a slave, skekGra tries his best to make amends, and although he spent his younger days terrorizing Thra, he saw the light, She-Ra style, and now wants to save it. He's very relatable to a lot of white people battling their own conditioned racism. skekGra lives with a Mystic named urGoh, and as we learn, they are literally each other's half. They used to be an Urskeks named GraGoh, but the Urskeks' experimentation on the Crystal split GraGoh and the others apart. urGoh is skekGra's complete opposite. While skekGra is quick-tempered, urGoh is ridiculously laid-back. This is because the two of them have been high for the past thousand years, while at the same time working hard to build Lore, seal him away in the chamber beneath the All-Maudra's throne in Ha'rar and construct the riddle to activate him within the chamber. Yes, as it turns out, urGoh and skekGra built Lore, and yes, that is skekGra's voice on the recording when Lore introduces himself to Brea. If Lore is an R2-D2 figure, that makes skekGra the series' Princess Leia. urGoh and skekGra have a beautiful bromance. They bicker but they love each other. urGoh, performed by Olly Taylor and voiced by an almost unrecognisable Bill Hader, speaks ridiculously slowly, although like with skekSil's whining and whimpering, urGoh mainly does it to annoy skekGra. He's part Auntie Noah from 'Wunschpunsch', part Fluorite from 'Steven Universe'.

Certainly not a kids show! And a genius move to use "the most ancient and sacred of arts" to reveal Thras history! Puppetry! My god I love this show!
