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, the scientist Sarko lands on the planet Amzot in order to capture some of the animals in order to conduct experiments on them. Along with Tundro and Igoo, Dorno is captured and taken to another planet. Fortunately, Zandor, Zok, and Gloop defeat Sarko and rescue Dorno, Igoo, and Tundro.
This is a favorite episode of mine due to both its plot and artistry.
Dorno is captured by Sarko with Igoo and Tundro. Charging in to rescue Igoo, Dorno, Tundro, and Gleep are dropped down a trap hole and find themselves inside a giant, transparent capsule. Gleep manages to escape. Transported to Sarko's planet, Dorno is placed inside a cage beside a cliff far above the ground. The villain taunts his young captive, telling him that, unlike the animals upon which he can conduct his experiments, he is useless to him, except as a hostage. The cage has a trap bottom, which can be released remotely, to plunge the boy down to the ground far below him. Dorno's stated uselessness suggests his ultimate fate if the Herculoids fail to rescue him.
The portrayal of the cute and slender Dorno is beauteous. Dorno has several wonderful scenes both inside Sarko's cage and falling to the ground when the bottom is released.
