Rajah believed him this time as he could easily see the Smurfs were genuine; however the king rewarded him in bricks painted gold. When he discovered he had been cheated, an enraged Gargapuri went back to Rajah’s palace to take back the Smurfs, only to be blamed by Rajah for freeing all the other animals in his zoo, unaware it was actually Wild Smurf and Grandpa Smurf who were responsible. As a result, Gargapuri was locked up in an animal cage by Rajah and his guards, who then got locked up themselves in a cage by the very animals the king had confined. Gargapuri was probably one of Gargamel's ancestors.
