The Kurii are an egg-laying, bearlike alien race at war with the insect-like Priest-

Kings of Gor. They are described by Norman as weighing 900 pounds,

incredibly strong, and having seven clawed fingers on each hand. They

occasionally enslave human women, but more often than not, it is for the sole

purpose of keeping them as a food source. In fact, the Kurri maintain

slaughterhouses just for humans. Some Kurri even like to play with their human

food. In Blood Brothers of Gor (1982), a Kurrii is described as swinging a

kajira around in circles above his head before finally devouring her. On the

bright side, Kur slave collars are considered to be a great way to improve one’s

lock, and sewn in leather, its large, rounded ring. "What is it?" she asked

variety. In a girl's collar lock there would be either six pins or six disks, on

each, it is said, for each letter in the Gorean word for slave, Kajira."

(John Norman, Assassin of Gor, 1970)

Message Collar

A message collar is a sewn leather collar with a peculiar purpose. The slave that

wears it is often presented by her owner as a gift to the recipient of the message:

"Did you note the collar she wore?" He had not seemed to show much

interest in the high thick leather collar that the girl had had sewn about

her neck. "Of course," he said. "I myself," I said," have never seen such a

collar." "It is a message collar," said Kamback. "Inside the leather sewn
