Dorno in Mekkor (9/16/1967)

 


Dorno is the son of Zandor, leader of the Herculoids, and his wife Tara, a family of three humans and their five very powerful pet creatures defending their jungle planet.  The Herculoids were the subjects of an American animated television series, which debuted in 1967 and was revived in 1981 on CBS and produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions.

Dorno has a cute, boyish face, long, blond hair, and a slender, athletic physique.  His shirtless Herculoids outfit consists of a pair of brown boots, a light, blue skirt and neck collar, and a gold belt and wrist bands.  At his age, he is growing taller and more attractive and gaining better muscle definition and athletic ability.  He is also developing more self-esteem and self-confidence and taking more risks.

Due to his youth and his lack of special powers, Dorno is certainly one of the most vulnerable members of the Herculoids and is frequently a weak link which their opponents seek to target.

In this episode, various robots invade the planet.  Dorno and Gleep discover them first and are attacked and chased.  The other Herculoids are also attacked, with Igoo being frozen and Tara being captured.  Zok unfreezes Igoo, who rescues Tara.  Zandor and Zok spot and destroy the lead robot, defeating the invasion. 

Dorno and Gleep are shot off a log bridge over a cliff.

Dorno's best scene is riding with Zandor and Tara on Tundro amid the defeated robots at the end.
