A mercenary group led by General Grugger and his lieutenant Brotadac. They were employed by Meglos, last of the Zolfa-Thuran race, to abduct a human being from Earth. Meglos needed him as a body print so that he could impersonate the Doctor and retrieve his power source - the Dodecahedron - from the neighbouring planet of Tigella. Grugger was quite prepared to double-cross Meglos and steal his equipment, but the alien foresaw this and trapped them in his control room until they accepted his authority. Once Meglos had assumed the Doctor's appearance, the Gaztaks ferried him to Tigella, where they captured Romana and forced her to take them to the entrance to the Tigellans' subterranean city. The Gaztaks wanted to plunder the city as part of their payment, whilst Brotadac seemed more interested in getting his hands on the Doctor's coat. Once Meglos had achieved his aims, the Gaztaks returned him to Zolfa-Thura where the Dodecahedron would be used to power a weapon capable of destroying Tigella. The Doctor sabotaged this, and the Gaztaks were destroyed along with Meglos when the device self-destructed.
Played by: Bill Fraser (Grugger), Frederick Treves (Brotadac). Appearances: Meglos (1980).
