Dorno in Space Trappers (11/7/1981)

 


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, Zandor, Tara, and Dorno encounter Space Trappers who have a mind-control device which is able to turn their powerful animals against them.  The trappers first shoot an unfolding cage over Zandor, Tara, and Dorno and take Igoo, Tundro, and Zok with them.  After Gloop and Gleep help free them, Zandor and Dorno pretend to help two of the trappers get more animals, while Tara infiltrates their ship to help reverse the mind-control device.  When the trappers turn Gloop and Gleep against Zandor and Dorno, Tara finds the mind-control device, reverses its effect upon the animals and then destroys it.
