Dorno in Olympians (10/10/1981)

 


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, Uglor grooms descendants of the Olympian gods to challenge the Herculoids.  While they are battling, Uglor attempts to steal the planet's rich supply of energy rocks.  The Herculoids defeat the Olympians, but Dorno, Gloop, and Tundro are turned into stone. Uglor abandons the Olympians, leaving with the energy rocks.  The Teen Force help the Herculoids defeat Uglor and recover Dorno, Gloop, and Tundro, and the energy rocks.

Dorno, Gloop, and Tundro are turned into stone by a descendant of Medusa and taken by Uglor with the energy rocks.  Moleculad restore Dorno, Gloop, and Tundro, but Uglor uses a trap door to plunge the Herculoids and the Teen Force into a perilous fall.  However, Electra ensure that they have a soft landing.
