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, Dorno, Gloop, and Gleep uncover a capsule containing a Mindbender in suspended animation. Reunited with his amulet, the Mindbender gains tremendous powers, drops the Herculoid boy into a deep hole, and entraps Gloop and Gleep in a transparent cube. In search of his brothers, the Mindbender encounters Zandor, Tara, and the remaining Herculoids and defeats them. Meanwhile, Gloop and Gleep break out of the transparent cube and free Dorno from the hole.
Dorno jumps on the Mindbender's back in an attempt to steal the amulet but fails. The Mindbender threatens to destroy Dorno, but an energy rock from Zandor distracts the evil being and allows the young Herculoid to escape.
The Herculoids prevail by tricking the Mindbender into returning to suspended animation.
