Tomb of the Great Zarek

Description

In the movie Fantastic Planet the Great Zarek was one of the greatest Draags that ever lived. It was never shown how he really looked like or his tomb..basically very little about him except what we get from Tiwa's earphones, which is awesome cuz that means I can just make up something myself. 
The Great Zarek was basically the first Draag to meditate. He also led the Draag armies onto a victory against an invasion from some other alien species. Some Draags believe he is immortal and meditates from his tomb regularly. Basically he's like Draag Jesus lol. This is the only piece of Draag religion we get from the movie. 

In the middle is a great sphere in which the Draags transfer their souls during meditation. In this sphere is where Zarek's body resides. On either side grasping the sphere are mythical beasts that are a mixture of Tharks(those bat creatures that whole like wolves, I made up the name as they had none) and a Draag. Tharks, particular the largest species, are a sacred creature to the Draag as the Great Zarek himself would ride them into battle.  
Most Draags believe that they are all descended from him as he was the first ever to meditate..mostly all Draags can meditate today. The rare few that can't are often called "grounders" and are the lowest ranking civilians as they have no place in society. The more powerful a Draag's mindpower is..the higher in the pecking order they are. 

There's also that lil Tomb Guard right there too. A noble job to have. Only Draags with physical toughness and a strong mind can have this nifty job. Makes the babes look at you. 

Oh on youtube they have the tidbit with the Great Zarek

They carved that out of a mountain the size of Everest, apparently. Gravity on this planet must be very weak.
