Garokk (/ˈɡærɒk/; also known as the Petrified Man) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is a resident of the Savage Land and an enemy of the X-Men and Ka-Zar, and possesses a stone-like body and matter-manipulating abilities.

Garokk has made limited appearances in media outside comics. An uncredited actor voiced him in X-Men: The Animated Series, while Dwight Schultz voiced him in X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse.

Garokk first appeared in Astonishing Tales #2 (Nov. 1970) and was created by Roy Thomas and Jack Kirby.

Roy Thomas explained in an interview the creation of the character stating,

"So, the Petrified Man clearly is similar to elements in the later Burroughs Tarzan novels where he'd have some kind of weird character that Tarzan would encounter. And Tongah was like a combination of Tarzan's native buddies that he would occasionally have. And it was also reference to one of my favorite series from Gold Key Comics Turok, Son of Stone. And so, Turok... Tongah... there was an element of that."

Garokk was originally a sailor from Great Britain, whose ship, the H.M.S. Drake, crashed on the shores of Antarctica during the 15th century. The sailor was swept overboard and taken by a warm stream to the Savage Land. Wandering the Savage Land, the sailor entered the lands of the Sun People, who worshipped the Sun god Garokk. The sailor found a statue of Garokk with a cup beneath it. Thirsty, the sailor drank from the cup, but was chased off by the Sun People. The sailor escaped to the Kingdom of England, but found that he had become immortal after drinking the potion. Over time, the sailor's body became a living, organic, stone-like substance until he looked identical to the statue of Garokk. Nearly five centuries after he had left, the sailor returned to the Savage Land and discovered that the Sun People believed that their god would return and their high priestess Zaladane waged war as a form of worship to him. The sailor, now known as the Petrified Man, encountered Ka-Zar and related his story to Ka-Zar. The Petrified Man allied himself with Ka-Zar and journeyed with him to the Savage Land to prevent his worshippers from waging war there. The Petrified Man gained energy powers, and transformed into pure energy. The Petrified Man managed to stop Zaladane and her people by dissolving their weapons, and then returned to his physical form. However, the Petrified Man then went mad and believed himself to be Garokk himself. Garokk sought to destroy all life on Earth to bring about peace, and he and Ka-Zar fought each other. On Zaladane's instructions, Ka-Zar lured him inside an underground pool, which causes Garokk to lost his powers and immortality. His age catches up with him rapidly and he dies shortly afterwards.

Zaladane later captured adventurer Kirk Marston and magically resurrects Garokk in Marston's body, which is transformed into a duplicate of Garokk's own. With Zaladane, Garokk attempts to unite the Savage Land tribes by forcing them to erect a colossal city for them. Garokk and Zaladane battle the X-Men and Ka-Zar; Garokk is defeated by Cyclops and falls into a thermal shaft. The X-Men believe Garokk to be dead. The X-Men's enemy Magneto later learns that Garokk survived and was transformed; half his body had turned into crystal while the other half became like molten rock. Magneto forces Garokk to serve as the guardian of his Antarctic base. In this role, he battles the X-Man Storm, but again falls into a deep pit.

Garokk survives and returned to his normal size and appearance. When the X-Men defeat the alien Terminus, leaving him to die, Garokk finds Terminus' armor and takes it for himself, devastating the Savage Land. The X-Men fought this "Terminus" and destroyed the armor to reveal Garokk. Garokk regained his free will and together with a machine made by the High Evolutionary, he restores the Savage Land to its original state. This process infuses Garokk's essence into the land, causing him to cease to exist.
