<P> Malak (Richard Kiel) calls himself the "God of the Cro - Magnon" and "King of the Teutons". He is an opportunistic barbarian who lies, steals, threatens, and bullies to get what he wants . How and when he came to the Land of the Lost, or where exactly in time and space he comes from, is never revealed . He diverts an underground river into the Sleestak egg caves as a means of exacting tribute from them . </P> <P> Pakuni (singular: Paku, though this usage is not consistently obeyed) are a species of small ape - like humanoids, ground - dwelling and bipedal, but not fully upright in posture . They are primarily herbivores, though they do occasionally eat small animals (an iguana - like lizard in the episode "Stone Soup", for example). They know how to create fire using flints, and manufacture simple tools such as the sharpened sticks they use as defensive weapons . Pakuni display significant skill with representational art and have superstitious rituals that usually include chanting but they do not appear to understand music . They live in small family groups that construct strong bamboo enclosures as shelters . The family groups are territorial but they are quite capable of forming alliances and friendships with neighbors when resources are plentiful and they understand the concept of trade . Young Pakuni undergo a rite of adulthood in which they must steal the egg of a large predatory dinosaur to prove their worth . </P> <P> One of Pakuni to appear in the series, Cha - Ka (Phillip Paley) is the most favorably disposed toward the Marshalls . In the first episode the Marshalls rescue him from "Grumpy" the Tyrannosaurus and splinted Cha - Ka's broken leg . Subsequently, Cha - Ka forms a close friendship with the family and with Holly in particular, helping them whenever possible and occasionally visits the Marshalls in their cave in High Bluff . Much of Cha - Ka's moments range from his attempt to undergo the rite of adulthood to facing a mysterious being who saw him worthy of advancing on an intellectual level, resulting with him gaining the ability to speak near perfect English, play an alto recorder - like wind - instrument, walk and run upright, and learn to make fire by Season 3 . After being separated from Ta and Sa after the earthquake that marks the beginning of season three, Cha - Ka moves in with the Marshalls at the temple . </P> <P> The two older Pakuni who look after Cha - Ka and boss him around . The exact familial relationship between these Pakuni is never explicitly stated (Gerrold deliberately left the relationship vague but describes Ta and Sa as being more akin to Cha - Ka's elder siblings rather than parents). Ta (Joe Giamalva in Season 1 and Scutter McKay in Season 2) is a domineering, egotistical and a treacherous Paku (Gerrold referred to Ta as a "small, furry Hitler" in his script) who never comes to trust the Marshalls . He can be bargained with, however, and although he usually attempts to cheat the Marshalls it is not particularly difficult to see through the trick . Sa (Sharon Baird) occasionally seems to be a moderating influence on Ta, but for the most part serves as a follower . Ta is sometimes considered to be the "alpha" Paku or a "witch doctor". He has knowledge of some of the workings of the Land of the Lost, which he disguises with a clever use of herbs and phony chanting and dancing to make it appear that he controls them . For example, he understands that the "Pylon Express" only opens when the three moons are aligned and so times his own "opening ritual" to coincide with that, and he knows that the effects of the poison from the carnivorous plant are only temporary and so hurries to sell the Marshalls a "cure" before it wears off on its own . Both Ta and Sa get separated from Cha - Ka during the earthquake that marks the beginning of season three and were not seen there after, though it was mentioned their tracks were seen "ending at a dead - end cliff - face and disappearing" by Will in Season 3, Episode 8 . </P>
