Masters of the Universe: Snake and Lizard Men

Reptilian humanoids started appearing in MotU in the first, 1983, season of the Filmation cartoon.

Here’s Lizard Man, a supporting hero who appeared in four episodes.

Here is Fang Man, a bad guy who only appeared in “The Time Corridor”.

Bands of unnamed reptile men then appeared as wizards’ henchmen in two episodes, “House of Shokoti” and “Ordeal in the Darklands”.

So it already looks like we have two races of lizard people on Eternia. In Season 2, Kobra Khan was introduced.

In the very last episode, “The Cold Zone”, writer J. Michael Straczynski revealed that Kobra Khan had left the underground Repton civilization to commit crimes with Skeletor and friends. While their name was generically reptilian, named characters such as King Pythos indicate the entire people’s snakiness.

In 1986, the Snake Men faction was introduced to the toy line and its accompanying mini-comics. Members King Hiss, Sssqueeze and Snake Face were treated as having been banished by the Elders to a timeless dimension while living their evil lives thousands of years ago. Writer Steven Grant alluded to Kobra Khan’s people as descendants.

However, by the time kids would have opened this comic, the entire first season of (literal) sister show She-Ra would have aired, in September-December 1985. There, two other characters identified as Snake Men, Rattlor and Tung Lashor, were seen as members of Hordak’s Etherian Horde.

Both the mini-comic “King of the Snake Men” and newspaper comic arc “Vengeance of the Viper King” addressed these two being magically teleported from Etheria to Eternia to join King Hiss.

Unnamed Snake Men made two further appearances in the 80s: as hunter-gatherers who preceded Eternia’s first humans on the planet in the newspaper comic arc “Terror Takes Time” and as disorganized enemies of the five good wizards (Elders?) who organized under Hordak in the Power Tour stage show.

So much for official Snake Men. But we’re not done:

Almost simultaneously with him joining the Snake Men, Kobra Khan was seen commanding a band of evil lizard men (not to be confused with Lizard Man the hero) in the mini-comic “The Fastest Draw in the Universe”.

Jump forward to the summer of 1987 and fans were introduced to Saurod, a blue-scaled, bronze-armored mercenary employed by Skeletor in the live action film. He also appeared in all sorts of comics (mini-comic with the 3 film-related action figures, monthly comic, newspaper comic).

(pictured: Classics toy from 2015.)

While his armor looks like a fuller version of the partial plate armor we saw in the Repton culture, whether he was even native to Eternia was not explained at the time.

Then there’s one more before the Classics era. When He-Man traveled to another solar system in The New Adventures of He-Man, the Mutants of Denebria has their own lizard person, Lizorr.

He was said to be from the Gorn Desert of Denebria (a homage to the original Star Trek’s reptilian Gorn). His name suggests there’s no connection between his people and any Eternian Snake Men who ended up making their homes on Horde planets in the past two millennia or more.

Scorpia: Are you sure this is what Hordak meant by 'Comb The Desert'?

Catra: Of course you fool, we're following orders. *to Tung-Lashor* YOU GUYS FOUND ANYTHING YET!?!?

2021 MOTU Snake Men headcanons

Nobody can really tell me I'm wrong about these so far, so I'll continue to believe them until someone contradicts me.

The Snake Men call themselves "The Sons of Serpos" and believe that Serpos is a primordial mother goddess who was the broodmother of the first snakes. Other Eternians shorten it and just call them all Serpos.

Tung Lashor and Rattlor were generals in King Hsss' army that were the templates for the magically created Lasher and Rattler gestalt forms.

The giant snake that Skeletor unleashed in Leviathae was a Kobra Khan, and there was also a Kobra Khan individual in the past.

Serpos' fossilized corpse is Snake Mountain, just like in the 200x series. Dunno if she could come back to life in this version, though.

The Snake Men have arrived!

[skeletap]

god i love bastardizing MoTU canon for Prima Materia. anyway the Evil Warriors... 2!!!!!!!!! lineup for post-Prima Matera is, literally Malkyn's friends from school. He is like 12/13, so these are all now middle schoolers, minus Beastman who picks up Malkyn from school if Spinal Tap and Skeletor are too busy. Malkyn trying to play Evil and be like his cool Villain-Dads with his friends from school.

(i stole this edit from emperorsfoot, who i always seem to talk about Malkyn/Skeleteen in tandem to. so thank you for kekaku)

Huntara: *In the tavern, arm-wrestling with Tung Lashor*

Goat Lady: *from the crowd* Fuck off to your blondie!

Huntara: *Slams Tung Lashor's arm down immediately* Who the fuck mouthed that shit?! Who's cunt's head am I tearing off?

Goat Lady: Me, I'm the cunt.

Huntara: Oh it's you. Eh whatever, fuck off.

I just re-watched the Tung Lashor vs Catra fight scene and it made me realize something about Catra and all of her fight scenes. She doesn't really use her strength and fight directly the way that Adora does. She uses her environment against her opponents. She tosses sand in his eye and then tricks him into jumping into a sand pit before stealing his whip and declaring herself the winner. With Shadow Weaver she hides in the shadows and climbs up while dodging blasts, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Where Adora attacks head on, Catra is smart and uses her intellect to her advantage.

I just know that having the ability to go invisible with Melog makes her almost unstoppable.

Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

Masters of the Universe Bruce Timm mini-comics: The Ultimate Battleground!

King Hiss never takes off his human suit in this comic, nor in “Snake Attack”, “Revenge of the Snake Men”, “Energy Zoids” or “Powers of Grayskull: The Legend Begins!”, lending weight to the theory that he’s a reverse scalie. 

Note how Central Tower has an upward-opening door in the form of a cat jaw that traps the first person who tries to walk in. Having sacrificed a mook, Skeletor walks right through the open door.

REMEMBER THIS FOR MY NEXT POST

I love it when the footnotes in the Dark Horse omnibus sass the writing of these comics.

The Three Towers would subsequently be treated as the most important part of the setting in all the mini-comics for the next year, except “Energy Zoids”. They were also featured in the UK comic, and briefly in the Star (Marvel) comic before being ignored in later issues.

AU where Catra and Adora are two rockin bad girls with leather jackts motrobykes etc etc.

Then they meet Glimmer who is all pink and pastel.

Enter Poly relationship.

Adora and Catra realize Glimmer is MORE a bad girl than them and honestly kinda scary.

Also mommy issues.

You know, that makes me realize I have yet to write a proper "runaway princess" story. This fits the bill perfectly. Glimmer runs away from home and joins a biker gang.

At first motordykes Catra and Adora want to ditch the stupid pastel girl, because fun and hot as she might be, messing with a rich woman's daughter is Trouble, but Glimmer is persistent and wins them over with charm, spunk and by finding and beating up the largest dude she can find (sorry, Tung Lashor. I'll typecast you again).

So she rides along on her stupid pink Harley in her stupid pink leather, and god dangit if Catra and Adora aren't falling hard for her.

But everything is not fun and games. Private detectives Bow and Entrapta (hired by Angella) is closing in on them. And local gangster queen Shadow Weaver takes an interest. Fortunately, Glimmer is a badder bitch than anyone has counted on and she'll not let anyone take her two girlfriends without a fight.

Also, mommy issues.

(Yes, this is another Bagge-story following the tried and true wilderness survival tip for pink princesses template:

Step 1. Get yourself a cat girlfriend)
