Dorno in Magnus (10/17/1981)

 


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, Space Ghost and the Herculoids encounter a giant being with seemingly magical powers.  He grabs Jan, Dorno, and Blip and uses a wand to force them to perform a puppet show for him.  In response to a rescue attempt from Space Ghost and the Herculoids, he is able to summon a force field which traps his captives within it and protects him from attack.  However, Jan is able to kick him, causing him to start crying.  The giant turns out to be a mischievous toddler whose parents are thankful for the free babysitting services and leave with the child.

Once again, Jan and Dorno make an attractive team, with Jan proving herself to be the far more effective member.  Jan ends up rescuing the shirtless pretty boy.
