History
Xom was a native of the planet Pollux 134. Around the 17th century, he was captured and placed in an enclosure by another race native to the planet. Sometime over the course of the next thousand years, the other race died out and Xom was discovered by Space Pirates who attempted to kill him to obtain his ivory teeth. They recruited Philip Lindsay of Earth to help kill the creature, pretending they were the native population and Xom was the invader. After failing to kill Xom, Philip discovered the truth and forced the aliens off world.[1]
