Dorno in Snake Riders (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, the snake riders appear, capture Tara, and return to their cavern with their captive.  Dorno poses as a snake rider, infiltrates their cavern, and help the Herculoids liberate Tara.

Dorno and Gleep are the first to encounter the snake riders.  However, they fall into a pool, and the snake rider move to others.  He also takes a key role in helping Zandor and the Herculoids, posing as a snake rider to infiltrate their den and rescue Tara.
