Dorno in Return of Sta-Lak (12/16/1967)

 


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, Sta-Lak has created mechanized versions of Igoo, Tundro, and Zok, which he uses to capture Tara and Dorno.  Zandor rescues his family with Gloop's help, and the Herculoids defeat Sta-Lak's machines.  Sta-Lak escapes.

Dorno is captured with Tara by Sta-Lak early in the episode.  They are used as bait to lure the Herculoids into a battle with Sta-Lak's machines.

Dorno has several fine scenes being captured and in captivity.
