Worluk (Empath stories)

Worluk is a character that is part of the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series. He is the leader of a group of druids known as the Worlings who lived on Druid Mountain at the time that Papa Smurf first met Palladore, the wizard who taught him everything he knew about magic. Worluk and his fellow druids were sealed inside a tree on Druid Mountain during a final battle that had turned Palladore into a stone head, but before they were sealed, Worluk had created a Moonrock Amulet that would enable him to free his fellow druids of the curse 500 years later. About a few years before Empath returned from Psycehlia for good, Worluk escaped his imprisonment and sought after the Moonrock Amulet which he would use to free his fellow druids when the moonlight hits it from the top of the obelisk. Papa Smurf realized this from the time capsule that Palladore had left for him and fought against Worluk to distract him long enough so that his little Smurfs could use the stone ax from the time capsule to make Worluk disappear back into the tree that he came from.
