!!King Hiss of the Viper House
[[quoteright:195:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kinghiss_1126.jpg]]
-->Played by: Brian Dobson ('02)
-->"You know, He-Man, I knew King Grayskull, I fought King Grayskull, and you are not King Grayskull!"

Leader of the Snake Men, who can disguise himself as a human or shed his human skin to reveal his true form.

* ArchEnemy: To Zodak in the 2002 series. King Hiss seemed to feel his actual ArchEnemy was Hordak.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking
* BenevolentBoss: In a stark contrast to either Skeletor or Hordak. The Snake Men have UndyingLoyalty to him for this reason.
* BigBad: In a BigBadDuumvirate with Skeletor in the 80s minicomics, and supplants Skeletor as this in the 2002 series.
* EvilVersusOblivion: When Evil-Lin tries to release Hordak in the 2002 series, he tries to stop her, and fails because He-Man interferes not realizing what he was trying to do till after he prevent Hordak's escape, as even he doesn't want Hordak to return.
* FantasticRacism: If you're a Snake Man, he'll like you. If you're anything else, he'll consider you slave labor or food.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In the '02, his four secondary heads are temporarily turned against him and devour his main head. While, according to WordOfGod, this didn't ''kill'' him, the series ended before his planned return.
* IAmAHumanitarian: A species trait, though in the 2002 series, he's the only shown actually doing it.
* KnightOfCerebus: Definitely in the 2002 series. If not this in the 80s minicomics, he at least is a "Knight of Canon" as the comics begin to have a tighter, somewhat more serious continuity after he appears.
* PetTheDog: He's the only one in the group to treat Kobra Khan as "a proper Snake Man."
* SealedEvilInACan: Was imprisoned in limbo in both continuities until he escaped.
* SmugSnake: Quite literally
* [[TheWormThatWalks The Snake That Walks]]: His true form is multiple snakes tangled together.
* [[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Brother]]: Reason for Zodak's aime to kill him.

!!Kobra Khan/Khan of the Clan Kobra
[[quoteright:124:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kobrakhan_2654.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Creator/ScottMcNeil ('02)

A descendant of the Snake Men who served Skeletor until King Hiss was freed.

* AllTheOtherReindeer: The other Snake Men, with the exception of King Hiss, think of him as just an inferior descendant of the ''true'' Snake Men.
%%* AlliterativeName
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Khan predates Mattel's creation of the Snake Men, so he was originally just a snake-themed Evil Warrior working for Skeletor during the 80s. Upon the Snake Men's introduction to the toyline, Khan was [[RetCon retconned]] into being tied to them.
* HollywoodAcid: He can spit this or spray poison/sleeping gas.
* TheMole: [[EvilVersusEvil Toward Skeletor]].
* RubberMan: One episode of the 80s series showed him having stretchable arms similar to Sssqueeze.
* TheStarscream: More towards General Rattlor than King Hiss.

!!Rattlor/Slltyo of the Rattlor House
[[quoteright:76:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rattlor_4849.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (She-Ra); Richard Newman ('02)

General of King Hiss' troops, with an extendable neck and a rattle-sounding tail.

* TheBrute: The biggest of the Snake Men.
%%* TheDragon
* [[WhyDidItHavetoBeSnakes Why Did It Have to Be Mongooses?]]: For him (and possibly the other Snake-Man since they are the natural enemy of snakes). [[spoiler:Orko uses this against him in the episode "Second Skin" it helped he used a spell to make the mongoose bigger then Rattlor.]]

!!Snake Face/Cyltho Ssstavvve
[[quoteright:135:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snakeface_9056.jpg]]
-->Played by: Paul Dobson ('02)
-->"Look at me!"

A gorgon-like Snake Man who can petrify his opponents by showing them the snakes that come out of his face.

* DeathByAdaptation: In the 2002 series, he's [[HoistByHisOwnPetard turned into a stone statue]] and imprisoned. In the [=MVCreations=] comic adaptation of the same episode, the statue is kicked down the abyss by Zodak. Luckily for Snake Face, later comics follow the TV version and he's shown as an imprisoned statue.
%%* HoistByHisOwnPetard
* KilledOffForReal: Technically in the MYP cartoon as he remains as stone for the remainder of the series. Definitely in the comic adaptation of the arc (see above). The ''Classics'' line also says he was killed by Saurod in Saurod's character bio.
* StoryBreakerPower / TooPowerfulToLive: Not so much if he was an one-shot villain, but that power is too much for a regular like him. The writers admitted that that they had to kill him off soon or his ability would could cause him to eclipse King Hiss as a threat.
%%* TakenForGranite

!!Sssqueeze/Schisszz Shazzz
[[quoteright:121:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sssqueeze_9196.jpg]]
-->Played by: Brian Dobson ('02)

A Snake Man who can stretch his arms to ensnare his enemies.

* CynicalMentor: Compared to the other Snake Men, he seems to believe that Kobra Khan has a chance to become a "proper" Snake Man with some effort. For instance, learning how to [[SwallowedWhole devour his enemies alive]].
* KilledOffForReal: The ''Classics'' line says he was killed by Saurod in Saurod's character bio.
* RubberMan: At least with his arms.
* SssnakeTalk: Notably ''part of his name'', though he's just called "Squeeze" in the modern DC series.

!!Tung Lashor/Kasssher
[[quoteright:86:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tunglashor_9545.jpg]]
-->Played by: [=George DiCenzo=] (She-Ra); Michael Donovan ('02)

* EvilerThanThou: In the 2002 series, the backstory with King Greyskull reveals that he was this to King Hiss, hence part of why he so afraid of him.
* EvilVersusOblivion: In the 2002 series with the backstory mentioning the [[ExactWords Spell of Seperation]]. He intended to use it to separate Eternia into the light and dark hemispheres, except the spell ended up [[GoneHorriblyRight working better than he planned]] and nearly [[ApocalypseHow separated the very planet in two]], prompting him to halt it and hide away the pieces of the ArtifactOfDoom he used to cast the spell in the first place.
%%* EvilSorcerer
%%* EvilOverlord
* GreaterScopeVillain: In the 2002 He-Man series, he's a SealedEvilInACan, but the ManBehindTheMan with Skeletor since he's the reason he survived the injuries he got from Randor, and created the Dark Hemisphere. WordOfGod is that if the show continued he would have taken over as the BigBad.

!! Catra/C'yra of D'Riluth III
-->Played By: [=Melendy Britt=]
Force Captain of the Evil Horde who has the ability to shapeshift into a panther.

A motorized cyborg with a built-in wheel on his chest, that allows him to move at super-speed.

* BrainWashed: Unclear if it's the case in the minicomics, but it clearly is in the UK comics.
* EvilCounterpart: To Extendar. Their powers are different, but they share the same origin.
%%* {{Cyborg}}

%%* SuperSpeed
* TakeThat: to Transformers. He's a warrior who can run like a dragster via the wheel on his chest.

!!Horde Troopers
[[quoteright:58:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hordetrooper_5940.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (She-Ra)

Basic soldiers of the Horde Empire.

* CanonImmigrant: Created for animation, but they were later added to the toyline.
* MechaMooks: DependingOnTheWriter, they can be humans or magically animated armors, but most of the time they are robots.

!!Imp
-->Played by [=Erika Scheimer=] (She-Ra)
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_b_9272.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:Every EvilOverlord should have one of their own.]]
Smallest member of the Evil Horde, and arguably the one most loyal to Hordak. He looks like something of a cross between a pig and a bat. When he's not busy disparaging the other Hordesman for their failures, he functions as Hordak's spy against the rebels. Acts rather like a mischievous child when left to his own devices.

* BrattyHalfPint: Combine his entitled attitude with his diminutive size, and this is what you get.
* CardCarryingVillain: Evil and proud of it. Of course may also be suffering a case of...
* CanonImmigrant: not an actual part of the MOTU toyline until the 2014 Invasion Hordak figure included him. He was originally believed by fans to be based on the red bat included with the original Hordak figure, but it was implicitly {{Jossed}} by Mattel when they said the 2014 one was the first Imp ever.
* CuteLittleFangs: Sports a pair of these
* CoDragons: Shares this role with Shadow Weaver as they are arguably the most competent and reliable of Hordak's minions. However, Hordak shows more favoritism towards him over his other minions.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Surprisingly, when Skeletor managed to depose Hordak in "Of Shadows and Skulls", Imp was the only Hordesman to remain loyal to Hordak, even berating the others for not kicking Skeletor's butt in Hordak's name. He also tends to be the one to try to cheer Hordak up whenever the EvilOverlord is feeling down.
* {{Flight}}: Those wings aren't just for show
* ForeignMoneyIsProofOfGuilt: This is what he used to frame Kowl.
* GoodWingsEvilWings
* HonorBeforeReason: "Shadows and Skulls" would have been so much easier on Imp if he hadn't tried to oppose Skeletor for Hordak's sake.
* TheImp: His name not withstanding, Imp's powers would make him a formidable opponent if he wasn't handicapped both by his size and his lack of fortitude.
* MagicPants: Imp's uniform will change shape with him, sometimes disappearing, sometimes providing black coloration to his disguises.
* MasterOfDisguise: Comes with being both a spy and a [[{{Shapeshifting}} Shapeshifter]]
* MobileShrubbery: Invoked when he actually took the form of a bush... and then proceeded to follow Adora and friends on tip-toe
* MorphicResonance: Usually played straight, but occasionally averted. While most of Imp's forms retained his normal blue color scheme, twice he was shown (as a picture and as a ground squirrel) to be able to change his color.
* NonHumanSidekick: Played this role to Hordak.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Cute, lazy, and more than a little bit of a brat, but underestimate Imp or get on his bad side and he'll quickly make more trouble than you might be able to handle.
* OddFriendship: Considering Hordak dislikes magic and flying creatures, one has to wonder why he's so protective of Imp.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: While it's unlikely he's an actual infernal being over simply an alien or genetic creation, there's little denying what look Filmation was going for when they designed him.
* OutOfFocus: Did not appear in the 2002 remake of He-Man with the rest of the Horde, and has yet to appear in the DC comics adaptation of the franchise.
* PetTheDog: Hordak may be a BadBoss, a {{Bully}}, and an EvilOverlord, but he positively dotes on this little guy and has gone out of his way to protect Imp or punish those who try to hurt him.
* ThePrankster: A particularly mean spirited one.
* ShapeshifterDefaultForm: Imp's normal form looked like a cross between a pig and a bat.
* SmallAnnoyingCreature: In universe, most everyone not named Hordak regards him as this.
* SnarkyNonHumanSidekick: When his ego starts to swell a bit much.
* TheSoCalledCoward: Played with. While Imp will avoid any fight not stacked in his favor, he still regularly journeys into enemy territory solo to retrieve information and items for his Master.
* StealthExpert: Surprisingly is still this even when not using his shapeshifting power. Is at least good enough to continually sneak into Brightmoon.
* SpoiledBrat: Hordak's favoritism has given, or enhanced, Imp's entitled attitude.
* SweetTooth: Since candy appears at least three times in his list of what he likes about fairs, it can be assumed he has one.
* TechnicolorEyes: His schlera are yellow as opposed to the normal white.
* {{Troll}}: Will frequently and happily point out the mistakes and failures of his fellow Hordesman, gleefully encouraging Hordak to met out punishments to them. Needless to say, he is not popular amongst his comrades.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: All of Hordak's minions hate him. When Skeletor takes over, they are willing to put up with Skeletor's abuse because it gives them a chance for vengeance on Imp.
* TheTrickster: How he is typically portrayed when he takes a more active role against the good guys. He once fooled everyone into think Kowl was a traitor, flooded Brightmoon Castle, and even started a destructive forest fire on Beast Island.
* UndyingLoyalty: For Hordak if nothing else. It's one of his few admirable qualities.
* VertebrateWithExtraLimbs: Two arms, two legs, and two wings.
* VillainousFriendship: Possibly the only creature on Etheria truly loyal to Hordak.
* VillainsOutShopping: Twice while spying on the Rebels in two separate episodes Imp expounded on his love of the fairs that were being held at the time. He actually sounded like a giddy little kid when he listed what he loved about them in "The Red Knight" and even lamented being on the job spying for Hordak and thus unable to go enjoy himself in "Friends Are Where You Find Them."
* VoluntaryShapeShifting: Imp's primary ability and what makes him so dangerous as a spy.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: To go with your blue skin

!!Leech/K'Ull'Leusshhhh
[[quoteright:74:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/leech_5264.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (She-Ra)

!!Mantenna/Glieeb-Tolio Jak-Us
[[quoteright:72:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mantenna_9015.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (She-Ra)

A Horde member with pop-out eyes that allow him to spy his enemies at long distances or shoot a stun ray.

* AdaptationalBadass: His 2002 incarnation only appears briefly, but he looks more fearsome and puts up a better fight against King Grayskull than Hordak's other forces.
* ButtMonkey: If Hordak is angry at a defeat, or merely bored, he uses Mantenna as an scapegoat and sends him through a trapdoor.
* TheDogBitesBack: He has turned the tables on Hordak a few times.
* EyeBeams: He can shoot a stun beam from his eyes.

!!Mantisaur
[[quoteright:126:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Mantisaur_5754.jpg]]

Hordak's mount, a huge mantis.

* BigCreepyCrawlies: A mantis huge enough to be used as a ride beast.
%%* HorseOfADifferentColor

!!Megator/Moleb the Demolisher
[[quoteright:91:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/megator_7141.jpg]]

%%* OurGiantsAreBigger

!!Modulok/Galen Nycroft
[[quoteright:96:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/modulok_8483.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's)

A beast capable of rearranging his body parts to take several different shapes.

* AdaptationExpansion: In his first minicomic appearance, he stated he was a former slave of Skeletor, and he joined the Horde to destroy Skeletor. The cartoon showed his origin and his tenure as one of Skeletor's Evil Warriors before joining the Horde in the She-Ra series.
* DetachmentCombat: Mostly uses it to divide himself into two bodies.
%%* HazyFeelTurn
* MadScientist: He was shown as such in the animated series, and the comics followed by showing him as the creator of Multi-Bot.

!!Mosquitor/Bliddeon Black
[[quoteright:88:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mosquitor_9371.jpg]]

A cybernetic mosquito-man who can drain his enemies' blood and energy with his nose-piece.

* AnimalGenderBender: He is male, yet sucks blood.
%%* EnergyAbsorption
* {{Flight}}: Only in the Star Comics.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Explicitly described as a vampire in his ''Classics'' bio

!!Multi-Bot
[[quoteright:145:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/multibot_4810.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (She-Ra)

A robot created by Modulok, with the same powers.

* BumblingSidekick: to Modulok.
* DetachmentCombat: Mostly uses it to divide himself into two bodies.
%%* EasilyDetachableRobotParts
* RobotMe: The robotic version of his creator Modulok.

!! Scorpia/Lynda D'Ream
-->Played by: Linda Gary
A Horde solider with scorpion claws and tail

%%* TheBrute
* HalfHumanHybrid: Part human and part scorpion.
* PoisonousPerson: Her tail produces a natural poison.
* ScaryScorpions: Despite being mostly human-like, her claws and tail still make her a fearsome enemy.

!!Shadow Weaver/Beatrix
-->Played by: Linda Gary

A powerful sorceress and second-in-command to Hordak.

* CastingAShadow: Known for her Shadow Magic.
* CoDragons: Shares this role with Imp as they are arguably the most competent and reliable of Hordak's minions.
* DarthVaderClone: Shadow Weaver has this down pat. She was a well respected hero with magic powers, until she sought power and succumbed to TheDarkSide ([[EvilMakesYouMonstrous which horribly disfigured her, no less]]), and has become servant to TheEmpire, being the right hand of the BigBad. She wears a cloak that allows her to be faceless, and talks in a [[EvilSoundsDeep deep, intimidating voice]] with VaderBreath.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: A powerful sorceress in a hooded dress.
* VaderBreath: Often begins her sentences with a raspy exhale.

[[folder:Evil Warriors]]
!!Skeletor/Keldor of the House of Miro
[[quoteright:222:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/skeletor_463.jpg]]
-->Played by: Alan Oppenheimer (80's); Frank Langella (Live-Action Movie); Campbell Lane (New Adventures); Brian Dobson ('02)
-->"Tell me about the loneliness of good, He-Man...Is it equal to the loneliness of evil?"

The older half-brother of King Randor, who tried to conquer Eternia and ended with his face horrifingly scarred and rechristened himself Skeletor, lord of destruction.

* AdaptationalBadass / AdaptationalVillainy: In the 2002 series. In the Filmation cartoon, he was such an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, to the point of being a JerkassWoobie, that a number of episodes were written where he would team up with He-Man, just to give him some victories. In the 2002 series, he's a legitimately dangerous, and a total {{Jerkass}} to everyone around him to boot.
%%* ArchEnemy
* BadBoss: In the 2002 series, he constantly abuses and insults his minions. They're shown to practically live in fear of him.
* BifurcatedWeapon: In the 2002 series.
* BigBad: The first one of the franchise, and the most well-known even for non-fans.
* {{Bishonen}}: As Keldor
* {{Butterface}}: He has a bodybuilder's physique and a skull for a face.
* CardCarryingVillain: From the ChristmasSpecial: "I don't want to feel good! I want to feel evil!"
* DeadpanSnarker: He cracks more one-liners than anyone else on the show.
* DemotedToDragon: In ''New Adventures'' he was made TheDragon to Flogg. However, he manipulated Flogg so much that ultimately his role in the story didn't change much.
* EmergencyTransformation: from Keldor to Skeletor in the 2002 cartoon, and from charred Skeletor to cyborg Skeletor in the New Adventures minicomics.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Not always consistent, as he has outright asked He-Man if he ever considered doing anything evil. Skeletor has, however, predicted how the heroes will react to events. In "The Problem with Power," Skeletor correctly predicts how He-Man would react to thinking he killed someone.
* EvilIsHammy: As any EvilOverlord worth his salt, Skeletor is as theatrical as possible.
* EvilLaugh: Especially prevalent in the Filmation cartoon.
** LaughingMad

* EvilUncle: [[spoiler: to Prince Adam]]
* FreudianExcuse: Not that he wasn't evil before, but in the 80's series, it was later revealed that his old mentor Hordak abandoned him in Eternia. This is part of the reason why he can never trust anyone,
* GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Upon seeing that his handsome face has been reduced to nothing but a skull floating above his shoulders, Keldor/Skeletor cackles madly.
* HalfHumanHybrid: His father is the Eternian equivalent to human, while his mother is a Gar (Sy-Klone-s race).
%%* HijackedByGanon:
* InTheHood: In the 2002 series, his hood obscures his face for dramatic effect, to have him later reveal that his face has been reduced to a skull. Other episodes show his face shadowed by thehood to give him a sinister look.
%%* ISurrenderSuckers
* IWasQuiteALooker: In the 2002 series, he was an attractive man before his acid attack on Randor backfired.
* ItsAllAboutMe: In the 2002 series, he makes it clear he wants power for himself, and when he's the closest to winning and thinks he get his hands on the Elders' power, he says he has no intent of sharing the spoils.

* LaughablyEvil: While the original minicomics played him as a serious villain, the Filmation cartoon (thanks to censors constantly breathing down Filmation's neck) turned him into a comedic figure, making him a LaughingMad DeadpanSnarker. The Jetlag New Adventures cartoon kept him as such, implying that it was a facade to keep Flogg trusting him (though a few episodes show him acting the same way when alone), and he could turn dead serious if enraged. The 2002 cartoon made him a little more menacing and more of a legitimate threat, but otherwise stayed fairly true to the sniggering, wisecracking persona of the Filmation cartoon.
* ManipulativeBastard: Mostly in the New Adventures, where he frequently plays with Flogg's ego to get what he wants, but he also have his moments in the other series (like the 80's episode "The Problem with Power").
** Had a good number of moments of this in the 2002 series.
* MidSeasonUpgrade: During the first season of the New Adventures of He-Man, Skeletor finds a crystal that changes him from his basic "New Adventures" looks to an armor based on the Disks of Doom Skeletor figure.
%%* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast
* ObviouslyEvil: His unsubtle visage is the article's picture.
* PetTheDog: Skeletor really cares for his pets (Panthor in Eternia, Grr in Nordor), which is ironically more notorious [[KickTheDog when he betrays everyone else]] (in "Escape from Gaolotia" and "Council of Evil"). He can leave his allies to rot/die, but he will keep his pet at his side.
** Also in the ChristmasSpecial, when against his evil judgement, he provides warm clothing for the children he's kidnapped, takes along the lost puppy they've found--and despite his complaining, clearly likes it when the dog licks his face--and when confronted with a snowbeast, immediately tells for the children to get behind him so as to protect them.
%%* PurpleIsPowerful
%%* RedEyesTakeWarning
%%* SkullForAHead
%%* SmugSnake
* [[TakeOverTheWorld Take Over Eternia]]: And the universe after that.
* ThatManIsDead: Keldor died when he got a face full of acid. Skeletor was born shortly afterwards. Figuratively speaking, of course.
* TrueMeaningOfChristmas: He discovers this in the ChristmasSpecial and makes a brief HeelFaceTurn, though only begrudgingly whilst wondering what was coming over him.
* VocalDissonance: He's a musclebound warlord with a skull for a face, but his voice is brittle, high-pitched and, ironically for someone with no nose, nasal. Curiously enough, on the other hand, in the Mexican Spanish dub of the original series, he has a [[EvilSoundsDeep deep voice]] instead. Oddly enough in the Mexican dub of the 2002 series, he's voiced by the same voice actor who voiced [[WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower Hordak]], who has a high-pitched, but still menacing, voice. 2002 implies this is a result of his transformation, as he's shown to have a deeper, cunning sounding voice as Keldor in a flashback, only his voice to go up in pitch and start cackling the instant Hordak changes him.

!!Beast Man/Raqquill Rqazz
[[quoteright:59:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/beast-man_9043.jpg]]

* BeastMan: By name and by nature.
* TheBeastmaster: Throughout most versions of the franchise, he has been shown controlling Eternian wild-life either with telepathy or by taming.
* DumbMuscle: Physically the strongest of Skeletor's henchmen... mentally, not so much.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: With Trap-Jaw in the Filmation cartoon; they were among Skeletor's most-used henchmen and often appeared as a team.
* WhipItGood: His weapon of choice.

!!Blade/Ritter
[[quoteright:115:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blade_1382.jpg]]
-->Played by: [=Anthony DeLongis=] (Live-Action Movie)

* DualWielding: Fights with two broadswords at once.
* {{Expy}}: He was created as a substitute for Tri-Klops in the film.
* EyepatchOfPower: Wears a patch over his left eye, having lost it at some point in the past.
* KnifeNut: Alone among the Evil Warriors in the film, he exclusively uses bladed weapons (hence his name).
* MasterSwordsman: Is one of the few Evil Warriors in the movie who can go toe to toe with He-Man. Averted in the comic, where He-Man defeats him with one blow and taunts him for not being a very good fighter.
* TheVoiceless: In the comic book adaptation (where he has [[OffModel yellow skin]] like Evil-Lyn), he never speaks, and He-Man even refers to him as "silent one." This is a direct contrast to the movie, where Blade is the only mercenary other than Karg who actually speaks.
* WhipItGood: He uses a laser whip to give the captive He-Man ATasteOfTheLash.

!!Blast-Attak
[[quoteright:55:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blastattak_1864.jpg]]

A robot who is a walking time-bomb. Sometimes he's portrayed as part of the Snake Men.

* EasilyDetachableRobotParts: There are some stories where he doesn't explode, but instead divides to fight two enemies at once.
* VerbalTic: Quite literally, because he says "Tic" between sentences. Since, you know, he's a walking bomb.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Blast-Attak is a robot who can explode; why go through the trouble of building a sophisticated robot if it's just to have it blow itself up?

!!Clawful/(real name pronounced through a series of claw clicks)
[[quoteright:84:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clawful_2866.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); [=Scott McNeil=] ('02)

A member of the Karikoni, an Eternian race of crustacean warriors from Orkas Island.

* AWizardDidIt: His MOTU Classics bio reveals his change from the DumbMuscle of the 2002 series to the keen warrior of the 80's series as the result of a spell cast by Evil-Lyn.
* DemotedToExtra: As with Whiplash (see below)
* DumbMuscle: 2002 series only.
* {{Expy}}: The 2002 series' "The Island" introduced Clawful's cousin, who was intelligent and had ambition. He's basically Clawful of the '80s series.
%%* GiantEnemyCrab
* RightHandOfDoom: His right claw is much larger than his left -- ''much'' much larger in the 2002 series. This is based on real fiddler crabs.
* SimpletonVoice: 2002 series; ridiculously exaggerated, at that.
* TheStarscream: '80s series only.
* TooDumbToLive: The 2002 series. Seriously, he doesn't even recognize the language of his own species.
* ToylessToylineCharacter: One of the more notable exclusions from the 2002 toyline. This is why he was the first one honored with a statue in scale with the 2002 figures.

!!Draego-Man

A recent addition to the Evil Warriors created for the MOTU Classics toyline.

* TheHermit: He became so disgusted by human society that he went to live in a cave
%%* PlayingWithFire
* WhosLaughingNow: Was shunned by his dragon brethren for his half-human appearance, and joined Skeletor's forces to get revenge on them.

!!Evil-Lyn/Evelyn Morgan Powers
[[quoteright:78:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/evillyn_3283.jpg]]
-->Played by: Linda Gary (80's); Meg Foster (Live-Action Movie); Kathleen Barr ('02)
-->"I have no loyalty to Skeletor. It's his power I want."

An evil sorceress who works for Skeletor, but expects to overthrow him some day.

* AllThereInTheManual: Her last name comes from the original series bible, which said she was an astronaut from Earth like He-Man's mother Queen Marlena. But this was never used and later continuities have her father as a sorcerer called the Faceless One.
* DaddysGirl: But a subversion of DaddysLittleVillain, as her father is good.

* EvenEvilHasStandards[=/=]EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She is willing to help Skeletor in his attempt for world domination, but she will not betray her father and returns his magical Ramstone back to him when Skeletor loses it.
* EvilAlbino: Possibly. Pale skin, purple eyes, and white hair from at least late adolescence/young adulthood, according to one flashback.
%%* EvilSorcerer
%%* HotWitch
%%* LadyOfWar
%%* LeotardOfPower
%%* PurpleIsPowerful
%%* PunnyName
%%* ShesGotLegs
* TheStarscream: The 2002 series she even lampshades that Skeletor taught that deception and treachery "were the cornerstones of power" and she learned his lessons. They are both amused.
** This is played with in an episode before her betrayal. She points out that she's been Skeletor ally a long time and has loyalty to him. This changes when she finds out he let her get captured on purpose.
* WelcomeBackTraitor: In the 2002 series, Skeletor, after He-Man saves her from the Pool of Shadows (where Skeletor aimed to sacrifice her into the Forsaken Realm to as a deal with the dimension's [[EldritchAbomination native population]] as punishment for her releasing King Hiss), Skeletor lets her back into his ranks with no problems, with the two of them even sharing some laughs about what happened.

!!Faker
[[quoteright:141:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/faker_1911.jpg]]
-->Played by: John Erwin (80's)

A robot duplicate of He-Man, created to trick the Eternians.

* DependingOnTheWriter:
** His appearance: he's either [[GlamourFailure always blue and thus a failed attempt as a He-Man duplicate]], or he's blue but can change color to disguise as He-Man, or even is always identical to He-Man (despite the toy's blue appearance).
** His strength: he might have strength equal to He-Man's, or just average strength with his similarity to He-Man limited to appearance.
%%* EvilKnockoff
* FaceHeelTurn: It was implied by the '02 series writers and confirmed by his Classics bio that he is the same robot Man-At-Arms used as a decoy He-Man. It's still an arguable example since he wasn't sentient when he worked for Man-At-Arms.
* MythologyGag: In his appearance in "The Courage of Adam," he looks exactly like He-Man. When he's knocked out, however, he briefly turns blue before de-activating.

!!Gygor

A former warlord of the Vine Jungle, who was in suspended animation until Evil-Lyn freed him to bolster Skeletor's forces.

%%* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys

!!Jitsu/Chopper
[[quoteright:73:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jitsu_5817.jpg]]

An Evil Warrior who has a metallic right hand

* EvilCounterpart: to Fisto
%%* PowerFist
* RightHandOfDoom: He has a huge metallic hand, just like Fisto. his NECA statue made his metal hand even bigger.

!!Karg
[[quoteright:252:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/karg.jpg]]
-->Played by: Robert Towers (Live-Action Movie)

A bizarre, hook-handed creature serving as a mercenary for Skeletor.

* BadLiar: Oh yes. His stated reasons for why the mercenaries failed are transparent, to say the least. Evil-Lyn is quick to call him on it and rub it in his face.
* CanonForeigner: Was introduced for the movie. He appeared in a couple of comics (including the movie adaptation and one comic where he fought Clamp Champ), but never in the toyline.
* DirtyCoward: The only reason the mercenaries fail on Earth is because Karg wimps out and orders a retreat. Once back in Eternia, he lies to Skeletor's face and claims they were "outnumbered."
* GeneralFailure: His track record leading Skeletor's {{Mooks}} isn't very good.
* HookHand: He has a barbed hook in place of his left hand, complete with a snazzy jeweled wrist cuff.
* MookLieutenant: Whenever Skeletor and Evil-Lyn aren't around, Karg seems to be the default leader of the Evil Warriors
* ToylessToylineCharacter: Apparently Mattel ''was'' going to make a Karg figure, but never did.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Skeletor. Despite just being a mercenary, he's devoted to the guy and is appalled when Evil-Lyn proposes running away and abandoning Skeletor at the end. A DeathGlare from her, though, gets him to reluctantly agree, though.

!!Mer-Man/Squidish Rex
[[quoteright:69:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/merman_6091.jpg]]
-->Played by: Alan Oppenheimer (80's); Creator/ScottMcNeil ('02)

King of the underwater creatures of Eternia.

* TheBeastmaster: limited to aquatic beings.
%%* FishPeople
* LiterallyShatteredLives: In the 2002 episode "Rise of the Snake Men Part 1", after being turned to stone and knocked over (don't worry, Skeletor resurrects him in the next episode).

!!Ninjor
[[quoteright:47:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ninjor_2125.jpg]]

An stealthy ninja who works for Skeletor.

* {{Ninja}}
%%* TheStraightAndArrowPath

!!Panthor
[[quoteright:279:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Panthor_8862.jpg]]

Skeletor's pet panther, that he sometimes rides in battle.

* CallARabbitASmeerp: Call A Panther A "Dylinx"
* EvilCounterpart: To Battle Cat
* HorseOfADifferentColor
* MegaNeko
* RightHandCat: Despite his size, he behaves as one of these with his master Skeletor.

!!Saurod/C'ngrel Chouloth
[[quoteright:91:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/saurod_8733.jpg]]
-->Played by: Pons Maar (Live-Action movie)

A reptilian warrior who is killed by Skeletor for his failure in getting the Cosmic Key.

* BreathWeapon: He throws sparks from his mouth, an ability not shown in the movie but added for the figure.
* CanonImmigrant: He originally appeared solely in the 1987 movie, but he got an action figure and so he was incorporated into the larger franchise along with Blade.
* KilledOffForReal: Zapped by Skeletor in the movie.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Because the comic book adaptation of the movie didn't include the scene where he died, subsequent issues used him.
* TheUnintelligible: Only in the movie, where he expressed himself through hisses. When he appeared in comics, he talked normal.

!!Scareglow/Karak Nul
[[quoteright:108:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scareglow_7338.jpg]]
-->"In my glow, even brave men tremble!"

A skeletal warrior whose body can glow and cause everybody who stares at it to see his/her greatest fears.

* IKnowWhatYouFear: Consistently depicted with such powers in some fashion or other, likely inspired by the name.
* LightEmUp: His 80s mini-comic appearance and his ''MOTUC'' bio both feature his ability spread fear by glowing brighter
%%** LightIsNotGood
* MultipleChoicePast: He came too late to the toyline to get enough spotlight, yet he got so popular (specially due to looking similar to Skeletor) that every writer tried to give his own interpretation: a being summoned from the reaches of space and time, a copy created by Skeletor in his own image, or the king of another dimension. The current version is that he's the ghost of a bounty hunter, summoned by Skeletor like in the first version.
%%* PowerGlows
* SinisterScythe: Wielded one in his '02-era comic appearance, which carried over to his ''Classics'' toy -- the original 80s toy had a halberd.
%%* SkullForAHead
* TheStarscream: His '02 era comic appearance ends with him plotting against Skeletor

!!Screeech

Skeletor's savage bird.

* EvilCounterpart: To the "Sorceress' pet" version of Zoar

!!Spikor/Kleffton
[[quoteright:88:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spikor_8790.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's)

A warrior covered in spikes that give him the advantage in close combat. He has an extendable left arm with a trident as a hand.

* TheBlacksmith: Shown as such in a single minicomic, though then he created the Terror Claws, which would become Skeletor's new weapons for the rest of the toyline run.
* DumbMuscle: Out of all the Evil Warriors, he is undoubtedly the most stupid and useless of them all (maybe because Filmation were afraid that his design would frighten children otherwise).
* SpikesOfVillainy: He has them around his whole body.

!!Stinkor/Odiphus
[[quoteright:132:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stinkor_547.jpg]]
-->Played by: Brian Drummond ('02)

A petty Paleezean thief who got the power to emit an awful odor.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the 2002 reboot. The original was basically the ButtMonkey of the bad guys, hated so bad the ''only'' reason he was kept around was his smell weakened He-Man and only appeared in two mini comics, the second one portraying him as a loser whose failure at guarding Snake Mountain causes Hordak to steal Skeletor's vehicles. In the 2002 reboot, he's actually the one minion Skeletor ''liked'' because he was so powerful and successful. In fact, he's one of the ''only'' villains to ever actually ''succeed'' at a mission (driving every dragon out of the country so Skeletor's newest weapon wouldn't have its natural predator present to defeat it).
* AscendedFanboy: Odiphus is shown to desperately want to be fighting for the bad guys, which he ultimately does as Stinkor.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Odiphus appears as a prisoner in "Snake Pit" before his appearance in "The Sweet Smell of Victory".
* EvilCounterpart: In 80s toy form, to Moss Man. They were introduced at the same time and had the gimmick of being scented. Moss Man smelled like pine, while Stinkor... stunk. Due to the special manufacturing process (the smelling substance was mixed into the plastic used), many Stinkor toys still smell bad to this day.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Stinkor is a skunk-man who had the power of smelling so horribly he had to use a respirator to keep himself from being knocked out. You would think this is a useless or stupid ability, but the 2002 reboot shows just how deadly this can be.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Stinkor's stench is just as horrible to himself as it is others, which is why he always wears a breathing apparatus and mask.
* MeaningfulRename: He insists on not being called Odiphus anymore. He's Stinkor.
* SmokeOut: In the '02 series he's capable of doing this wwith his stink.
* ThirdPersonPerson
* TookALevelInBadass: Odiphus was a villain wannabe and - like the rest of his species - quite small in stature. The chemical accident in Tri-Klops' lab gave him his power, as well as made him taller and physically stronger.
* ToylessToylineCharacter: Along with Clawful, he's one of the most notable characters missing from the '02 toyline -- and unlike Clawful, Stinkor even had an entire episode of the show dedicated to him! To compensate, he not only got one statue in scale with the 2002 figures, but got two, one as Stinkor and the other as Odiphus.

!!Trap Jaw/Kronis
[[quoteright:113:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trapjaw_3837.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Paul Dobson ('02)
-->"Nothing can stop me! I am unbeatable!"

An Evil Warrior who tried to turn by Skeletor, who left him severely injured. Tri-Klops remade him as a Cyborg with a mechanical jaw and a robotic right arm with interchangeable weapons.

* ArmCannon: one of his optional mechanical arms.
* AxCrazy: Established as such in the original mini-comics.
%%* {{Cyborg}}
* HandicappedBadass: The fact that he's STILL a viable threat despite being an amputee establishes him as this.
* HookHand: another optional hand
* {{Jerkass}}: Compared to Skeletor's other minions, he's easily on of the biggest assholes in this franchise. To date, he's betrayed no less than three allies: Mer-man after a team-up in an episode of the 80s Filmation cartoon and Stratos after the Enemy Mine episode in the 2002 series.
%%* MeaningfulRename
* SwissArmyAppendage: Trap Jaw has several attachments he uses; approximately a dozen in the original cartoon, though naturally the toy is limited to three.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: With Beast Man in the Filmation cartoon.
%%* WeCanRebuildHim

!!Tri-Klops/Trydor Esooniux Scope
[[quoteright:53:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/triklops_1357.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Paul Dobson ('02)

A warrior with three eyes that give him different vision powers.

%%* CyberCyclops
* DumbMuscle: In the original series.
* EvilGenius: In the 2002 series.
%%* EyeBeams
%%* GadgeteerGenius
* MasterSwordsman: Mainly in the original minicomics. Kind of in the 2002 series.
* NobleDemon: Most obvious in the 80s minicomics, though the 2002 version counts as either this or some version of woobie (it could also be considered anti-villainous... maybe). So far, the only known incarnation of Tri-klops that DOESN'T qualify for this is the Filmation cartoon one, and that's only because that version had no personality to speak of.

!!Twistoid
[[quoteright:192:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/twistoid_9606.jpg]]
-->"Surrender!"

A spinning robot created by Skeletor stealing the machine used to create Rotar.

%%* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning
* EvilCounterpart: to Rotar
* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: He was supposed to be the first of many, to oppose the Horde Troopers, but the machine used to make him was recovered by the Heroic Warriors.

!!Two-Bad/Tuvar and Baddrah
[[quoteright:147:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/twobad_6053.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (both, 80's); Brian Drummond (Tuvar, '02); Mark Gibbon (Baddrah, '02)

A pair of bounty hunters who were merged by Skeletor due to their failure.

* BrainsAndBrawn: Tuvar's the brain and Baddrah's the brawn.
* DumbMuscle: Baddrah
%%* MultipleHeadCase
* VillainDecay: In the 2002 series. Individually, they both beat up the rest of the evil warriors, and proved a challenge for He-Man. When Skeletor merged them, they're harmless. Justified because they spend more time fighting with each other than doing anything useful.

!!Webstor/Araneus, Son of Raknus
[[quoteright:102:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/webstor_8247.jpg]]
-->Played by: John Erwin (80's); Brian Dobson ('02)

One of the few remaining Arachna, a race of spider people.

* EarlyBirdCameo: He is seen in the catacombs of Snake Mountain in "Snake Pit" before his appearance in "Council of Evil, Part 1."
%%* EscapeArtist
* EvilCounterpart: To Buzz-Of
* EvilGenius: Mostly in the less well-known British or German comics. His speciality are {{Death Trap}}s, since as an EscapeArtist he knows what would a captured enemy try.
* GiantSpider: More notorious in the 2002 series, but he was also supposed to be one in the 80s version of the franchise.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:WordOfGod says that when he collapses in "Web of Evil" from injuries inflicted by the Snake Men, he did die. While they did admit to leaving it ambiguous in the case of another writer wanting to use him, the fact that the show ended soon afterwards makes it a moot point.]]
* NobleDemon: Actually shows shades of this in some VERY obscure media. The first time this aspect of him is shown in the UK comic, it's an extreme case of HonorBeforeReason, as he intentionally leaves a way out of the trap he has put He-Man into, and after He-Man finds it, Webstor (right there) lets him go, telling he will face Skeletor's wrath for this. Unfortunately, this has been damn near forgotten everywhere else.
* RedemptionRejection: Refuses He-man's offer to join the Masters in the British comics, rather infuriatingly. He was probably knew that spider people always, always belong with the villains.

!!Whiplash/Torrant Krazut
[[quoteright:107:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/whiplash_MOTU_3437.jpg]]
-->Played by: John Erwin (80's); Creator/GaryChalk ('02)

Member of the reptilian species known as Caligars, who betrayed his people to join the Evil Warriors.
* AffablyEvil: In the 80s cartoon only. He's completely willing to sacrifice people heartlessly to an evil demon called Kraal (in Betrayal Of Stratos), but, as To Save Skeletor shows, he actually seems to genuinely care about his teammates, and has a generally easy-going, laidback personality all-around.
* DemotedToExtra: Going from the Filmation series to the 2002 series is... PAINFUL, to say the least, for a Whiplash fan. It's nothing but a sin to see how badly he was dumbed down, after his strong and intelligent Filmation showing. To put it succinctly, the episode "Underworld" gives him the spotlight over the other villains... and he gets a total of eight lines.
%%* DumbMuscle
* WhipItGood: He uses his tail as a whip.

[[folder:The Evil Horde]]
!!Hordak/Hec-Tor Kur
[[quoteright:119:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hordak_1130.jpg]]
-->Played by: [=George DiCenzo=] (She-Ra); Colin Murdock ('02)
-->"For some of us it's too late. I'm too old, too set in my ways."

Skeletor's former teacher in the arts of dark magic, who was banished to Etheria, in the Dimension of Despondos, where he rules with an iron fist in the name of the Evil Horde supreme leader, Horde Prime.

* AmnesiacDissonance: In issue #11 of the Star comic.
* ArchEnemy: The 2002 series hinted that he was this to King Greyskull. King Hiss also refers to him as this.
* BadBoss: In the 2002 series, he kills one of his generals for giving him bad news.
%%* BigBad
* DragonInChief: To Horde Prime, as the Horde Prime never bothers to actually do anything.
* TheDreaded: In the 2002 series, everyone is afraid of him, EVERYONE, even King Hiss.
* EvilerThanThou: In the 2002 series, the backstory with King Greyskull reveals that he was this to King Hiss, hence part of why he so afraid of him.
* EvilVersusOblivion: In the 2002 series with the backstory mentioning the [[ExactWords Spell of Seperation]]. He intended to use it to separate Eternia into the light and dark hemispheres, except the spell ended up [[GoneHorriblyRight working better than he planned]] and nearly [[ApocalypseHow separated the very planet in two]], prompting him to halt it and hide away the pieces of the ArtifactOfDoom he used to cast the spell in the first place.
%%* EvilSorcerer
%%* EvilOverlord
* GreaterScopeVillain: In the 2002 He-Man series, he's a SealedEvilInACan, but the ManBehindTheMan with Skeletor since he's the reason he survived the injuries he got from Randor, and created the Dark Hemisphere. WordOfGod is that if the show continued he would have taken over as the BigBad.
* HeroKiller: In the 2002 series, he mortally wounds King Grayskull before being imprisoned in Despondos.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He called forth a portal to Despondos to trap King Grayskull, but the king turned the tables and sent him through instead.
%%* LargeHam
%%* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: When brought to animation, he became an enemy of She-Ra.
* SealedEvilInACan: In the 2002 series, he's sealed in Despondos by King Grayskull during the main series.
* ShapeShifting: Implied to be due to magic guiding the transformations.
* ShoutOut: His real name (Hec-Tor) is based on [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Hector Barbossa]]
* SwissArmyWeapon: His arm, due to his ShapeShifting powers.
* ThisIsADrill: One of his many transformations.
* VillainousFriendship: As terrible he is to everyone else, he seems to have a genuine affection for his sidekick Imp.
* WorthyOpponent: He admits to being impressed with King Grayskull's abilities.

!! Catra/C'yra of D'Riluth III
-->Played By: [=Melendy Britt=]
Force Captain of the Evil Horde who has the ability to shapeshift into a panther.

* AdaptationalWimp: Is the BigBad of the minicomics, but is relegated to TheDragon in the show proper.
* {{Animorphism}}: Able to transform back and forth between a panther.
%%* CatGirl
%%* DarkActionGirl
* TheDragon: Alongside Shadow Weaver, Catra is often the leader of Horde soldiers on the field.

!!Cy-Chop/Scychor
Cyborg bounty hunter who works for the Evil Horde. A new addition as for 2012.

%%* OnlyInItForTheMoney

!!Dragstor/Theydon
[[quoteright:74:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dragstor_8781.jpg]]

A motorized cyborg with a built-in wheel on his chest, that allows him to move at super-speed.

* BrainWashed: Unclear if it's the case in the minicomics, but it clearly is in the UK comics.
* EvilCounterpart: To Extendar. Their powers are different, but they share the same origin.
%%* {{Cyborg}}
* EvilFormerFriend: To Extendar in the UK comics.
%%* SuperSpeed
* TakeThat: to Transformers. He's a warrior who can run like a dragster via the wheel on his chest.

!!Entrapta/Es'tra Vesselak

A close sidekick of Catra who can catch her enemies with her long braids. Just like Catra, Entrapta was added to the Horde in later media.

* PrehensileHair: Her main power.

!!Horde Troopers
[[quoteright:58:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hordetrooper_5940.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (She-Ra)

Basic soldiers of the Horde Empire.

* CanonImmigrant: Created for animation, but they were later added to the toyline.
* MechaMooks: DependingOnTheWriter, they can be humans or magically animated armors, but most of the time they are robots.

!!Imp
-->Played by [=Erika Scheimer=] (She-Ra)
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_b_9272.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:Every EvilOverlord should have one of their own.]]
Smallest member of the Evil Horde, and arguably the one most loyal to Hordak. He looks like something of a cross between a pig and a bat. When he's not busy disparaging the other Hordesman for their failures, he functions as Hordak's spy against the rebels. Acts rather like a mischievous child when left to his own devices.

* BrattyHalfPint: Combine his entitled attitude with his diminutive size, and this is what you get.
* CardCarryingVillain: Evil and proud of it. Of course may also be suffering a case of...
* CanonImmigrant: not an actual part of the MOTU toyline until the 2014 Invasion Hordak figure included him. He was originally believed by fans to be based on the red bat included with the original Hordak figure, but it was implicitly {{Jossed}} by Mattel when they said the 2014 one was the first Imp ever.
* CuteLittleFangs: Sports a pair of these
* CoDragons: Shares this role with Shadow Weaver as they are arguably the most competent and reliable of Hordak's minions. However, Hordak shows more favoritism towards him over his other minions.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Surprisingly, when Skeletor managed to depose Hordak in "Of Shadows and Skulls", Imp was the only Hordesman to remain loyal to Hordak, even berating the others for not kicking Skeletor's butt in Hordak's name. He also tends to be the one to try to cheer Hordak up whenever the EvilOverlord is feeling down.
* {{Flight}}: Those wings aren't just for show
* ForeignMoneyIsProofOfGuilt: This is what he used to frame Kowl.
* GoodWingsEvilWings
* HonorBeforeReason: "Shadows and Skulls" would have been so much easier on Imp if he hadn't tried to oppose Skeletor for Hordak's sake.
* TheImp: His name not withstanding, Imp's powers would make him a formidable opponent if he wasn't handicapped both by his size and his lack of fortitude.
* MagicPants: Imp's uniform will change shape with him, sometimes disappearing, sometimes providing black coloration to his disguises.
* MasterOfDisguise: Comes with being both a spy and a [[{{Shapeshifting}} Shapeshifter]]
* MobileShrubbery: Invoked when he actually took the form of a bush... and then proceeded to follow Adora and friends on tip-toe
* MorphicResonance: Usually played straight, but occasionally averted. While most of Imp's forms retained his normal blue color scheme, twice he was shown (as a picture and as a ground squirrel) to be able to change his color.
* NonHumanSidekick: Played this role to Hordak.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Cute, lazy, and more than a little bit of a brat, but underestimate Imp or get on his bad side and he'll quickly make more trouble than you might be able to handle.
* OddFriendship: Considering Hordak dislikes magic and flying creatures, one has to wonder why he's so protective of Imp.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: While it's unlikely he's an actual infernal being over simply an alien or genetic creation, there's little denying what look Filmation was going for when they designed him.
* OutOfFocus: Did not appear in the 2002 remake of He-Man with the rest of the Horde, and has yet to appear in the DC comics adaptation of the franchise.
* PetTheDog: Hordak may be a BadBoss, a {{Bully}}, and an EvilOverlord, but he positively dotes on this little guy and has gone out of his way to protect Imp or punish those who try to hurt him.
* ThePrankster: A particularly mean spirited one.
* ShapeshifterDefaultForm: Imp's normal form looked like a cross between a pig and a bat.
* SmallAnnoyingCreature: In universe, most everyone not named Hordak regards him as this.
* SnarkyNonHumanSidekick: When his ego starts to swell a bit much.
* TheSoCalledCoward: Played with. While Imp will avoid any fight not stacked in his favor, he still regularly journeys into enemy territory solo to retrieve information and items for his Master.
* StealthExpert: Surprisingly is still this even when not using his shapeshifting power. Is at least good enough to continually sneak into Brightmoon.
* SpoiledBrat: Hordak's favoritism has given, or enhanced, Imp's entitled attitude.
* SweetTooth: Since candy appears at least three times in his list of what he likes about fairs, it can be assumed he has one.
* TechnicolorEyes: His schlera are yellow as opposed to the normal white.
* {{Troll}}: Will frequently and happily point out the mistakes and failures of his fellow Hordesman, gleefully encouraging Hordak to met out punishments to them. Needless to say, he is not popular amongst his comrades.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: All of Hordak's minions hate him. When Skeletor takes over, they are willing to put up with Skeletor's abuse because it gives them a chance for vengeance on Imp.
* TheTrickster: How he is typically portrayed when he takes a more active role against the good guys. He once fooled everyone into think Kowl was a traitor, flooded Brightmoon Castle, and even started a destructive forest fire on Beast Island.
* UndyingLoyalty: For Hordak if nothing else. It's one of his few admirable qualities.
* VertebrateWithExtraLimbs: Two arms, two legs, and two wings.
* VillainousFriendship: Possibly the only creature on Etheria truly loyal to Hordak.
* VillainsOutShopping: Twice while spying on the Rebels in two separate episodes Imp expounded on his love of the fairs that were being held at the time. He actually sounded like a giddy little kid when he listed what he loved about them in "The Red Knight" and even lamented being on the job spying for Hordak and thus unable to go enjoy himself in "Friends Are Where You Find Them."
* VoluntaryShapeShifting: Imp's primary ability and what makes him so dangerous as a spy.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: To go with your blue skin

[[quoteright:72:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mantenna_9015.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (She-Ra)

A Horde member with pop-out eyes that allow him to spy his enemies at long distances or shoot a stun ray.

* AdaptationalBadass: His 2002 incarnation only appears briefly, but he looks more fearsome and puts up a better fight against King Grayskull than Hordak's other forces.
* ButtMonkey: If Hordak is angry at a defeat, or merely bored, he uses Mantenna as an scapegoat and sends him through a trapdoor.
* TheDogBitesBack: He has turned the tables on Hordak a few times.
* EyeBeams: He can shoot a stun beam from his eyes.

!!Modulok/Galen Nycroft
[[quoteright:96:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/modulok_8483.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's)

A beast capable of rearranging his body parts to take several different shapes.

* AdaptationExpansion: In his first minicomic appearance, he stated he was a former slave of Skeletor, and he joined the Horde to destroy Skeletor. The cartoon showed his origin and his tenure as one of Skeletor's Evil Warriors before joining the Horde in the She-Ra series.
* DetachmentCombat: Mostly uses it to divide himself into two bodies.
%%* HazyFeelTurn
* MadScientist: He was shown as such in the animated series, and the comics followed by showing him as the creator of Multi-Bot.

!!Mosquitor/Bliddeon Black
[[quoteright:88:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mosquitor_9371.jpg]]

A Horde solider with scorpion claws and tail

%%* TheBrute

* PoisonousPerson: Her tail produces a natural poison.
* ScaryScorpions: Despite being mostly human-like, her claws and tail still make her a fearsome enemy.

!!Shadow Weaver/Beatrix
-->Played by: Linda Gary

A powerful sorceress and second-in-command to Hordak.

* CastingAShadow: Known for her Shadow Magic.
* CoDragons: Shares this role with Imp as they are arguably the most competent and reliable of Hordak's minions.
* DarthVaderClone: Shadow Weaver has this down pat. She was a well respected hero with magic powers, until she sought power and succumbed to TheDarkSide ([[EvilMakesYouMonstrous which horribly disfigured her, no less]]), and has become servant to TheEmpire, being the right hand of the BigBad. She wears a cloak that allows her to be faceless, and talks in a [[EvilSoundsDeep deep, intimidating voice]] with VaderBreath.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: A powerful sorceress in a hooded dress.
* VaderBreath: Often begins her sentences with a raspy exhale.

-->Played by: John Erwin (80's); Creator/DolphLundgren (Live-Action Movie); Creator/GaryChalk (He-Man only, New Adventures); Doug Parker (Adam only, New Adventures); Creator/CamClarke ('02)
-->"I have the power!"

Adam, prince of Eternia and descendant of the legendary King Grayskull, transforms into He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe, to protect Eternia from the forces of evil.

* ALadyOnEachArm: In the DC Comics story "Fate is the Killer!" Prince Adam arrives this way to a party, to whick Man-At-Arms comments "Only two wenches, lad? You're losing your charm!"
* ArmCannon: A wrist-mounted laser as Adam.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: TropeNamer. In ''The New Adventures of He-Man'', he would say "By the Power of Eternia".
** He would turn back to Adam with "Let the power return!"
* CampStraight: As Prince Adam in the 80's cartoon, though most of these characteristics Adam (supposedly) exhibited on purpose to help hide his true identity as He-Man.
* ClarkKenting: In the '80s version of the franchise, the only actual difference between his Adam and He-Man appearance is that... he wears more clothes as Adam. Averted in the 2002 cartoon and New Adventures, where Prince Adam is notably skinnier and younger-looking than He-Man.
* ChickMagnet: Not so much in his own series, aside from the one off guest characters, but when he shows up on She-Ra, he is this, whether as He-Man or Adam.
%%* CoolSword
* DeadpanSnarker: In the cartoons, both as Adam and as He-Man, though the nature of the snark varies depending of the show; in the '80s cartoon it's more good-natured, while in the 2002 cartoon it's notably edgier.
* {{Expy}}: In-universe, he [[ByThePowerOfGrayskull calls on the power of King Grayskull]], taking on his strength and appearance.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Sort of. He's half Eternian human and half Earthling human.
* HenshinHero: Adam is just a regular guy and only has superpowers when he turns into He-Man.
%%* TheHero
* HeroesWantRedheads: Teela, though how red her hair was depended on the series.
** [[WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower Castaspella]] also got his attention, probably because she was the only gal on Etheria to flirt with him as Adam and He-Man.
* ImportantHaircut: In ''The New Adventures of He-Man'', but in reverse: He-Man's hair inexplicably (but quite explicitly) gets ponytail-length longer during a moment of awesome mystical display.
%%* InvincibleHero
* LargeHam: '''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2Nr2xbuXHc I HAVE THE POWER!!!]]'''
%%* LoinCloth
* LustObject: For several girls in Etheria.
* MagicalGirlWarrior: Adam is a GenderFlipped version of a Magical Girl
* ManChild: Adam exhibits a childish behavior and plays blind chicken, presumably as part of his ObfuscatingStupidity act.
* NiceGuy: Especially in the Filmation series, bordering on AllLovingHero. You would ''hope'' the Most Powerful Man In The Universe would be a nice guy.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: As Adam in some versions.
* RealMenWearPink: In the 80's cartoon.
%%** [[HoYay Pink with lavender tights]].
* RetCanon: At first, he was just He-Man, until the DC Comics created a SecretIdentity as Prince Adam, which was later added to the toyline.

* SeparatedAtBirth: His twin sister Adora was kidnapped by Hordak when they were babies.

!!Battle Cat/Cringer
[[quoteright:263:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Battlecat_3064.jpg]]
-->Played by: Alan Oppenheimer (80's)

Prince Adam's pet tiger, who transforms into Battle Cat, He-Man's fighting tiger.

* BerserkButton: As Cringer, he almost always lives up to his name, but is usually the opposite if Adam is in great danger. For example, in the 2002 series, Cringer attacks a Snake Man for trying to eat Adam.
* BigEater: Especially in the Filmation cartoon. "Boy am I glad to be home, I'm starving! Mmm! I think I'll get myself some lunch! And some dinner! Some supper! Mm... maybe an early breakfast!"
* CowardlySidekick: As Cringer, but turns into a FearlessFool as Battle-Cat.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mostly as Battle-Cat, but even Cringer got in some sarcasms on occasion.
* {{Expy}}: Cringer, (Battle Cat less so) especially in the 80's series, was little more than a green tiger version of ScoobyDoo.
** In-universe, Battle Cat inherits the power of King Grayskull's steed (an even bigger green lion).
* HiddenDepths: Regardless of continuity, Cringer can be a lot braver than even he thinks he's capable of.
%%* HorseOfADifferentColor
* MegaNeko: As Battle Cat.
* TalkingAnimal: 80's cartoon only
%%* TeamPet
* UndyingLoyalty: Cringer may be a scaredy cat, but he always stands by Adam - even when faced with all of Skeletor's Evil Warriors and the Council of Evil.

[[quoteright:127:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/buzzoff_3585.jpg]]

King of the Andreenids, a race of bee people.

%%* BeePeople
%%* TheLancer
%%* NobodyCallsMeChicken
* OddFriendship: With Stratos in the 2002 series.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He was Stratos' replacement as the flying Heroic Warrior in the 80's.
** DivergentCharacterEvolution: the 2002 series gave him an arrogant personality that differentiated him from Stratos.

!!Clamp Champ/Raenius
[[quoteright:123:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clampchamp_7619.jpg]]

King Randor and Queen Marlena's bodyguard, armed with a clamp weapon.

* OutOfFocus: Due to being one of the latest Heroic Warriors to appear before the toyline's cancellation (his wave-mates in the toyline, King Randor and the Sorceress, had more luck since they began as {{Toyless Toyline Character}}s, therefore having more time to shine even before being released as figures). At least he managed to get enough screentime in the latest comics to avert becoming an AdvertisedExtra like the second wave of Galactic Guardians.
%%* SuperReflexes
* SuperSenses: He cannot be taken by surprise.
* TokenMinority: And they really took their time with this one, since as noted he was one of the last figures released and the original cartoon was over by this point. Even in the ''Classics'' line he's still the only black guy among the Heroic Warriors.

!!Extendar/Doodon
[[quoteright:72:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/extendar_9703.jpg]]
-->"I am Extendar, tower of power!"

A palace guard changed by Hordak into a cyborg with extensible arms, legs, neck and torso. Despite his powers being a Horde creation, he uses them for good.

%%* {{Cyborg}}
* IJustWantToBeBadass: Before getting his powers. Hordak promised him power if he accepted to become a cyborg, without telling him he intended to use him for evil purposes.
* [[TelescopingRobot Telescoping Cyborg]]: He can extend his neck, torso, arms and legs. His mini-comic depicted him as growing in power the further he extends, though this didn't come up in his ''Classics'' bio.

!!Fearless Photog/Jey

Gwildor's apprentice, who due to a miscalculation got accidentaly fused with his invention, the Photog Emulator, getting the power of draining his enemies' energy.

!!Fisto/Malcom
[[quoteright:75:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fisto_4747.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Mark Acheson ('02)

Man-At-Arms' brother, who has a metallic right hand. Generally considered the second strongest Heroic Warrior, after He-Man himself.

* AloofBigBrother: To Man-At-Arms though only in the 2002 series.

* RightHandOfDoom: ''Huge''. In the 2002 series that's actually his real hand, while in the original series and ''Classics'' it's a mechanical prosthesis.
* UnfortunateName: Fisto can refer to a [[AssShove certain sexual practice]].

!!Gwildor
[[quoteright:83:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gwildor_6921.jpg]]
-->Played by: Creator/BillyBarty (Live-Action Movie)

Thenurian locksmith and inventor.

* {{Expy}}: His sole reason for existing is because they couldn't do a live-action Orko.
* GadgeteerGenius: Created the "cosmic key," allowing a person to travel between dimensions.
* {{Hobbits}}: He sure looks like one anyway.
%%* LittlePeople
* RefusalOfTheCall: He tries. But then Karg comes [[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive kicking his door in]].

[[quoteright:106:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kingrandor_2073.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Michael Donovan ('02)
-->"To have one such as He-Man as my heir rather than Adam... now that would be a legacy any sovereign would be proud to leave his people."

Heroic ruler of Eternia. Younger son of King Miro, and Prince Adam's father.

%%* BadassNormal
%%* TheGoodKing
* HappilyMarried: to Queen Marlena
%%* HeroesWantRedheads
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Particularly in the '02 version, where he can hold his own in battle ''and'' is excellent at diplomacy.

!!Lizard Man/Gayn
[[quoteright:123::http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lizardman01_full.png]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80s)

A friendly lizard warrior who is friends with He-Man and the gang.

* InSeriesNickname: "Lizzie."
* {{Sssssnaketalk}}: He often speaks with a pronounced hiss to his voice.
* SuperReflexes: He is quite agile, able to deftly avoid attacks thrown his way and leap great distances. In "The Song of Celice," Evil-Lyn and Trap-Jaw discover he is quite difficult to capture and eventually have to just give up.
* ToylessToylineCharacter: Initially played straight, but finally averted when Classics gave him an action figure.
* WallCrawl: He can climb up walls just like a regular lizard.

!!Man-At-Arms/Duncan

-->Played by: Alan Oppenheimer (80's); Jon Cypher (Live-Action Movie); Gary Chalk ('02)

King Randor's right-hand man, inventor and friend, and one of his most valuable warriors. Also, Prince Adam's mentor, friend and confidant.

* ArmCannon: A wrist-mounted laser in the '80s series, a {{BFG}} in the '02 series.

%%* TheFace

!!Man-E-Faces/Perkaedo
[[quoteright:145:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/manefaces_340.jpg]]

An actor who can change his face to become a human, robot or monster.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: He began as a good guy who was transformed by Skeletor into an monster, and sometimes the struggle between human and monster caused the neutral robot personality to arise. Later characterisations show all the faces as the same heroic personality.
* MorphWeapon: Man-E-Faces has a weapon with three modes, much like himself. Staff, gun, and club � respectively well-suited to his human, robot, and monster faces.
* OfficialCouple: With Peekablue in Classics.
%%* ThePowerOfActing
* RoboSpeak: His robotic face
* SplitPersonality: in the original minicomics and the DC comics.

!!Mekaneck/Orius
[[quoteright:117:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mekaneck_7299.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Gabe Khouth ('02)

Heroic human periscope. During a disaster, his neck was badly injured, so Man-At-Arms made him a mechanical extending neck.

* LongLostRelative: His son, kidnapped by Count Marzo.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: He extends his neck. This works well for reconnaissance missions where he can act as a human periscope, but isn't very useful in combat.
** Called out a few times, namely in the 2002 cartoon episode "Mekaneck's Lament" and in DC's 2013 comic series. In the latter, Teela is always teasing him about it or talking smack about it behind his back, but she doesn't mean any of it.
** HeartIsAnAwesomePower: In "Mekaneck's Lament," his power helps him defeat Count Marzo.
** ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Situations that prove how useful Mekaneck is to the team tend to fall under this umbrella

!!Moss Man/Kreann'Ot N'Norosh
[[quoteright:76:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mossman_549.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); John Payne ('02)

A plant-based hero who can manipulate plant matter.

* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: In a nutshell, Moss Man is green, pointy-eared Bigfoot.
%%* GreenThumb
* NatureSpirit: The '02 version is the guardian and living embodiment of everything pure and good about Eternia's flora.[[note]]The writers commented that they intended to make up for the Filmation version of the character never getting to do much due to his late appearance in the series, but feel they may have overpowered him. So he ended up turning up only rarely[[/note]]
** He's also depicted as something along these lines in DC's 2013 comic series.
* PointyEars: Consistently depicted with them, probably a side-effect of the fact that his toy was a modified version of Beast Man's.
* OlderThanTheyLook: It's been recently revealed that he fought alongside King Grayskull.

!!Orko
[[quoteright:163:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/orko_7777.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Gabe Khouth ('02)

A magician from the dimension of Trolla, who was stuck at Eternia by accident and became King Randor's jester.

* [[spoiler: AdaptationalVillainy: In the DC comic series, he is said to have betrayed the Master of the Universe to Skeletor, resulting in their initial defeat. And there is that figure with blue skin and dressed in red who rescues Skeletor after his loss to He-Man...]]
** [[spoiler: GoodAllAlong: It's revealed during the crossover with the DC Universe that Orko had discovered that Skeletor was tapping into the skull of Hordak Prime. Realizing that the ancient evil was about to re-awaken, Orko tried to use his own magic to seal the skull away, only to end up possessed by it.]]
%%* AmusingAlien
* BeautifulAllAlong: It's explicitly said that under his goofy hat, Orko's face is very handsome, or at least the equivalent on his home planet. (At least we get to see his hair.)
%%* CanonImmigrant
* CloudCuckoolander: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yFBAj3SyeA As Hordak learned]], Orko's brain is...unique. Even Roboto had trouble trying to figure him out.
** TooKinkyToTorture: It's entirely plausible that, like [[TheMuppetShow Gonzo the Great]], what's painful to most species just doesn't ''work'' with Orko. Under the circumstances [[{{Troll}} deliberately messing with Hordak]] isn't out of the realm of possibility, either.
* CourtMage: Is a mage now stuck working as Randor's Jester.
%%* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass
* DeadpanSnarker: DependingOnTheWriter to a very high degree, but in some episodes/continuities, Orko can be extremely snarky.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: He, normally an IneptMage actually separated [[IncrediblyLamePun Weaver's Shadow]]!
* DontTouchItYouIdiot: He almost never listens to Man-At-Arms when he is told this.
* FishOutOfWater: Orko is an extremely competent wizard at his home dimension; unfortunately Eternia is a place with different laws of physics, so his magic malfunctions there. He also loses his wand very shortly after arriving in Eternia, making his magic far more likely to backfire.
* IChooseToStay: In the '80s series and the '02 reboot, Orko is given chances to return permanently to Trolla, but he always chooses to stay in Eternia to help his friends.
* IneptMage: ZigZagged. He's an incredibly powerful and ''adept'' mage in his home dimension, but Eternia operates on different laws of physics (like trying to run software on an operating system it wasn't designed for), and he hasn't worked out all the bugs. When his magic works, the result is spectacular, but it's even more spectacular when it ''doesn't'' work as planned.
* TheJester: In Randor's court.
%%* KidAppealCharacter
* TheKlutz: He's always breaking Man-At-Arms's stuff.
* NeverBareheaded: He never removes his hat, as part of the Trollan custom that they never show their faces to anyone except their one true love. When he and Dree Elle showed each other their faces, they were kept offscreen; only shadows were shown. There is another Trollan who does show his face, so that gives us a hint of what he might look like.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Especially in the original series.
* NormalFishInATinyPond: Inverted; Orko was an archmage in Trolla. Too bad magic works differently in Eternia, or Etheria, or Earth.
* OneOfTheKids: Even though he's an adult Trollan, he hangs around and plays games with visiting kids.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: In the Filmation series he sometimes had an urban and/or Jersey accent. It's probably because he was voiced by Filmation producer Lou Scheimer himself, who was from Pittsburgh.
* ParentalAbandonment: His Uncle Montork seems to be the only father figure he has.
* ThePowerOfLove: This is what allowed him to channel his magic through Dree Elle to save her in the episode ''The Greatest Magic''.
%%* PluckyComicRelief
* SecretKeeper: For Adam (He-Man), and by extension, Adora (She-Ra).
* SuicidalOverconfidence: Especially when he confronted Shadow Weaver the second time.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Orko is afraid of dragons in an episode. But to quote the recurring line of the episode, "Who isn't?"
* YourMagicsNoGoodHere: On Trolla he is regarded as their greatest wizard, but on Eternia his spells rarely work the way he wants. It's eventually revealed that magic on Trolla works roughly the opposite as it does on Eternia. Ironically, he actually managed to ''humiliate Shadow Weaver''.

!!Queen Marlena Glenn
-->Played by: Linda Gary (80's); Erika Scheimer (She-Ra); Nicole Oliver ('02)

An astronaut from Earth who got stranded on Eternia and married King Randor, giving birth to Prince Adam and his sister Adora.

* AcePilot: In "The Rainbow Warrior" she shows her stuff by taking out most of Skeletor's air forces by herself.
* CanonImmigrant: Created for the DC Comics, then appeared in the cartoon and was added to the toyline's minicomics, to finally have a figure of her own after the 2011 SDCC.
%%* HappilyMarried
* HiddenDepths: In the 80s cartoon, she ends up leading a squadron of ships to rescue her husband and son from the clutches of Skeletor revealing her to be an extremely competent aerial fighter pilot on top of her astronaut skills despite having not been in the game for 20 years.
%%* TheHighQueen
* IChooseToStay: In the episode "Visitors from Earth", two astronauts offered her a chance to return to Earth but she said Eternia was her home now.
* ParentsKnowTheirChildren: See SecretSecretKeeper below.
* SecretSecretKeeper: Several episodes hint at her knowing that Prince Adam is He-Man but the most blatant hint comes at the end of the episode where she reveals her fighter pilot skills: she deliberately rescues Adam first which allows him to transform into He-Man and rescue everyone else. When Adam later asks her why on earth she rescued him first, all she says is that she "had a feeling he'd know what to do". She doesn't come right out and admit she knows Adam is He-Man, but she does say "a mother always recognises her own son".
* ShoutOut: Her name could be a reference to pilot/astronaut [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Glenn John Glenn]].

* BoisterousBruiser: Mostly in the minicomics, but he still is in other versions to a lesser extent.
%%* DumbMuscle
%%* TheBigGuy
* PintSizedPowerhouse: In the original series. He was much shorter than He-Man in both toy and cartoon form, but was still very strong.
* UseYourHead: He has the decency to wear a helmet and have a metal plate fixed on the top of his head, at least. The 80s incarnation had springs for legs to facilitate headbutts, as well.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes??: Ram-Man is afraid of the dark, as revealed in his ADayInTheLimelight episode of the '02 cartoon.

!!Rio Blast/Riolus Blast
[[quoteright:101:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rioblast_9992.jpg]]

[[quoteright:74:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rokkon_484.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (She-Ra)

A young member of the Rock People.

* DistressedDude: There are several versions of how the Stone people arrive to Eternia (or Etheria), and in most of them Rokkon is captured or incapacitated so Stonedar and He-Man (or She-Ra) have to rescue him.

!!Rotar
[[quoteright:78:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rotar_8967.jpg]]

A guard of the royal palace until one of Skeletor's attacks left him injured. Man-At-Arms saved him by using a machine that changed him into a spinning cyborg.

%%* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning

!!Snout Spout/Jaxton
[[quoteright:142:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snoutspout_5533.jpg]]

An Etherian peasant who was captured by Hordak and turned into a cyborg with an elephant-like head that allows him to shoot water out of the trunk. He escaped to Eternia and joined the Heroic Warriors.

* AnAxeToGrind: He is a firefighter, it comes with the job.
%%* CantStayNormal
* {{Cyborg}}: His elephant head is cybernetic.
* OddCouple: With Rio Blast in the Star comics. He's the neat and by-the-book one.
* UnwillingRoboticisation: Hordak kidnapped him to make him into a cyborg, rather than trick him like he did with Extendar.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Snout Spout can... fire water out of his trunk. However, he subverts the trope by using his powers (in creative yet not-so-awesome ways) to shoot ice, vapor or just water when the situation requires it.

!!The Sorceress of Castle Grayskull/Teela'Na
[[quoteright:136:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sorceress_6481.jpg]]
-->Played by: Linda Gary (80's); Christina Pickles (Live-Action Movie); Venus Terzo (New Adventures); Nicole Oliver ('02)
* BlessedWithSuck: Think about it. Blessed with the ability to discern almost all the things happening on Eternia, having extremely powerful magic at her command...and yet, she was unable to leave the Castle without being reduced to flying around as a bird with very low-level telepathy. One imagines the limitations got quite frustrating. The very few times she was able to overcome these limitations were explicitly stated to be special circumstances.
* CanonImmigrant: At least her bird-like looks.
%%* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep
%%* HerHeartWillGoOn
* LukeIAmYourFather: The Sorceress is Teela's mother, a fact known only by herself, Man-At-Arms and Adam/He-Man.
%%* ShesGotLegs
%%* TeamMom
* ToylessToylineCharacter: She almost suffered this fate in the first toyline, being released at the tail end, and despite being redesigned for both the New Advetures and the 2002 series, she wasn't released in neither of these, albeit her 2002 version got an statue in scale with the figures.
* TrulySingleParent: Unless you count Skeletor, who used the power of Point Dread to clone the Sorceress to create Teela.
** Except in the 2002 series, where it happened the old-fashioned way.

!!Stonedar
[[quoteright:63:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stonedar_4589.jpg]]
-->Played by: [=George DiCenzo=] (She-Ra)

-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); [=Scott McNeil=] ('02)
-->"As a bird-man, I've got a thing about cages."

Leader of the bird people from Avion.

* BirdPeople: Though he has mammalian hair...
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: In the 2002 series, Stratos' voice is plainly based on Creator/SeanConnery's; apparently, it was felt that Stratos's beard brought Connery to mind.
* OddFriendship: With Buzz-Off in the 2002 series.
* TokenNonhuman: in the first few minicomics, before more non-human Heroic Warriors were added.

!!Sy-Klone, Son of Dy-Lex
[[quoteright:106:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/syklone_3231.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); John Payne ('02)

Guardian of the Legacy Stones in the city of Anwat Gar, able to create whirlwinds. After the Legacy Stones are destroyed, Sy-Klone joins the Heroic Warriors.

%%* BlowYouAway
* LastOfHisKind. In the 2002 series. Becomes a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming moment]] when, upon learning his kind are truly gone, he declares that the Masters are his family.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: A samurai wind elemental

!!Teela
[[quoteright:100:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/teela_5417.jpg]]
-->Played by: Linda Gary (80's); Chelsea Field (Live-Action Movie); Cathy Weseluck (New Adventures); Lisa Ann Beley ('02)
-->"This whole thing smells of Skeletor."

Captain of the royal guard and Man-At-Arms's adopted daughter, who has a crush on He-Man.

%%* ActionGirl
* ArmCannon: A wrist-mounted laser.
%%* BadassNormal
* GreenEyedMonster: In the 80s series she was annoyed whenever an attractive woman showed interest in Adam, like in "Song of Celice" where she gives the title character the stink-eye when they first meet.
* HappilyAdopted: By Man-At-Arms
* HartmanHips: Teela in the 80s cartoon had serious curves.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Her two favorite pastimes are giving Adam grief in his training and talking smack on the other Heroic Warriors (as Mecha-Neck). She doesn't mean anything by it, but her attitude has gotten her in trouble a few times.
%%* LadyOfWar
* LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler:Becomes the new Sorceress in the New 52-era DC comics]]
%%* LeotardOfPower
* LoinCloth: In the DC comics.

[[folder:Evil Warriors]]
!!Skeletor/Keldor of the House of Miro
[[quoteright:222:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/skeletor_463.jpg]]
-->Played by: Alan Oppenheimer (80's); Frank Langella (Live-Action Movie); Campbell Lane (New Adventures); Brian Dobson ('02)
-->"Tell me about the loneliness of good, He-Man...Is it equal to the loneliness of evil?"

The older half-brother of King Randor, who tried to conquer Eternia and ended with his face horrifingly scarred and rechristened himself Skeletor, lord of destruction.

* AdaptationalBadass / AdaptationalVillainy: In the 2002 series. In the Filmation cartoon, he was such an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, to the point of being a JerkassWoobie, that a number of episodes were written where he would team up with He-Man, just to give him some victories. In the 2002 series, he's a legitimately dangerous, and a total {{Jerkass}} to everyone around him to boot.
%%* ArchEnemy
* BadBoss: In the 2002 series, he constantly abuses and insults his minions. They're shown to practically live in fear of him.
* BifurcatedWeapon: In the 2002 series.
* BigBad: The first one of the franchise, and the most well-known even for non-fans.
* {{Bishonen}}: As Keldor
* {{Butterface}}: He has a bodybuilder's physique and a skull for a face.
* CardCarryingVillain: From the ChristmasSpecial: "I don't want to feel good! I want to feel evil!"
* DeadpanSnarker: He cracks more one-liners than anyone else on the show.
* DemotedToDragon: In ''New Adventures'' he was made TheDragon to Flogg. However, he manipulated Flogg so much that ultimately his role in the story didn't change much.
* EmergencyTransformation: from Keldor to Skeletor in the 2002 cartoon, and from charred Skeletor to cyborg Skeletor in the New Adventures minicomics.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Not always consistent, as he has outright asked He-Man if he ever considered doing anything evil. Skeletor has, however, predicted how the heroes will react to events. In "The Problem with Power," Skeletor correctly predicts how He-Man would react to thinking he killed someone.
* EvilIsHammy: As any EvilOverlord worth his salt, Skeletor is as theatrical as possible.
* EvilLaugh: Especially prevalent in the Filmation cartoon.
** LaughingMad
%%* EvilSorcerer
* EvilUncle: [[spoiler: to Prince Adam]]
* FreudianExcuse: Not that he wasn't evil before, but in the 80's series, it was later revealed that his old mentor Hordak abandoned him in Eternia. This is part of the reason why he can never trust anyone,
* GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Upon seeing that his handsome face has been reduced to nothing but a skull floating above his shoulders, Keldor/Skeletor cackles madly.
* HalfHumanHybrid: His father is the Eternian equivalent to human, while his mother is a Gar (Sy-Klone-s race).
%%* HijackedByGanon:
* InTheHood: In the 2002 series, his hood obscures his face for dramatic effect, to have him later reveal that his face has been reduced to a skull. Other episodes show his face shadowed by thehood to give him a sinister look.
%%* ISurrenderSuckers
* IWasQuiteALooker: In the 2002 series, he was an attractive man before his acid attack on Randor backfired.
* ItsAllAboutMe: In the 2002 series, he makes it clear he wants power for himself, and when he's the closest to winning and thinks he get his hands on the Elders' power, he says he has no intent of sharing the spoils.
%%* LargeHam
* LaughablyEvil: While the original minicomics played him as a serious villain, the Filmation cartoon (thanks to censors constantly breathing down Filmation's neck) turned him into a comedic figure, making him a LaughingMad DeadpanSnarker. The Jetlag New Adventures cartoon kept him as such, implying that it was a facade to keep Flogg trusting him (though a few episodes show him acting the same way when alone), and he could turn dead serious if enraged. The 2002 cartoon made him a little more menacing and more of a legitimate threat, but otherwise stayed fairly true to the sniggering, wisecracking persona of the Filmation cartoon.
* ManipulativeBastard: Mostly in the New Adventures, where he frequently plays with Flogg's ego to get what he wants, but he also have his moments in the other series (like the 80's episode "The Problem with Power").
** Had a good number of moments of this in the 2002 series.
* MidSeasonUpgrade: During the first season of the New Adventures of He-Man, Skeletor finds a crystal that changes him from his basic "New Adventures" looks to an armor based on the Disks of Doom Skeletor figure.
%%* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast
* ObviouslyEvil: His unsubtle visage is the article's picture.
* PetTheDog: Skeletor really cares for his pets (Panthor in Eternia, Grr in Nordor), which is ironically more notorious [[KickTheDog when he betrays everyone else]] (in "Escape from Gaolotia" and "Council of Evil"). He can leave his allies to rot/die, but he will keep his pet at his side.
** Also in the ChristmasSpecial, when against his evil judgement, he provides warm clothing for the children he's kidnapped, takes along the lost puppy they've found--and despite his complaining, clearly likes it when the dog licks his face--and when confronted with a snowbeast, immediately tells for the children to get behind him so as to protect them.
%%* PurpleIsPowerful
%%* RedEyesTakeWarning
%%* SkullForAHead
%%* SmugSnake
* [[TakeOverTheWorld Take Over Eternia]]: And the universe after that.
* ThatManIsDead: Keldor died when he got a face full of acid. Skeletor was born shortly afterwards. Figuratively speaking, of course.
* TrueMeaningOfChristmas: He discovers this in the ChristmasSpecial and makes a brief HeelFaceTurn, though only begrudgingly whilst wondering what was coming over him.
* VocalDissonance: He's a musclebound warlord with a skull for a face, but his voice is brittle, high-pitched and, ironically for someone with no nose, nasal. Curiously enough, on the other hand, in the Mexican Spanish dub of the original series, he has a [[EvilSoundsDeep deep voice]] instead. Oddly enough in the Mexican dub of the 2002 series, he's voiced by the same voice actor who voiced [[WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower Hordak]], who has a high-pitched, but still menacing, voice. 2002 implies this is a result of his transformation, as he's shown to have a deeper, cunning sounding voice as Keldor in a flashback, only his voice to go up in pitch and start cackling the instant Hordak changes him.

!!Beast Man/Raqquill Rqazz
[[quoteright:59:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/beast-man_9043.jpg]]
-->Played by: John Erwin (80's); Tony Carroll (Live-Action Movie); [=Scott McNeil=] ('02)

Skeletor's savage henchman who can control wild creatures.

* BeastMan: By name and by nature.
* TheBeastmaster: Throughout most versions of the franchise, he has been shown controlling Eternian wild-life either with telepathy or by taming.
* DumbMuscle: Physically the strongest of Skeletor's henchmen... mentally, not so much.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: With Trap-Jaw in the Filmation cartoon; they were among Skeletor's most-used henchmen and often appeared as a team.
* WhipItGood: His weapon of choice.

!!Blade/Ritter
[[quoteright:115:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blade_1382.jpg]]
-->Played by: [=Anthony DeLongis=] (Live-Action Movie)
-->"I've waited a long time for this..."

A sword-wielding mercenary who expects to defeat He-Man some day.

* BaldOfEvil: He has a shaved head.
%%* BloodKnight
* CanonImmigrant: He originally appeared solely in the movie, but he was given a toy as well as a role in the comic book series.
* DualWielding: Fights with two broadswords at once.
* {{Expy}}: He was created as a substitute for Tri-Klops in the film.
* EyepatchOfPower: Wears a patch over his left eye, having lost it at some point in the past.
* KnifeNut: Alone among the Evil Warriors in the film, he exclusively uses bladed weapons (hence his name).
* MasterSwordsman: Is one of the few Evil Warriors in the movie who can go toe to toe with He-Man. Averted in the comic, where He-Man defeats him with one blow and taunts him for not being a very good fighter.
* TheVoiceless: In the comic book adaptation (where he has [[OffModel yellow skin]] like Evil-Lyn), he never speaks, and He-Man even refers to him as "silent one." This is a direct contrast to the movie, where Blade is the only mercenary other than Karg who actually speaks.
* WhipItGood: He uses a laser whip to give the captive He-Man ATasteOfTheLash.

!!Blast-Attak
[[quoteright:55:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blastattak_1864.jpg]]

A robot who is a walking time-bomb. Sometimes he's portrayed as part of the Snake Men.

* EasilyDetachableRobotParts: There are some stories where he doesn't explode, but instead divides to fight two enemies at once.
* VerbalTic: Quite literally, because he says "Tic" between sentences. Since, you know, he's a walking bomb.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Blast-Attak is a robot who can explode; why go through the trouble of building a sophisticated robot if it's just to have it blow itself up?

!!Clawful/(real name pronounced through a series of claw clicks)
[[quoteright:84:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clawful_2866.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); [=Scott McNeil=] ('02)

A member of the Karikoni, an Eternian race of crustacean warriors from Orkas Island.

* AWizardDidIt: His MOTU Classics bio reveals his change from the DumbMuscle of the 2002 series to the keen warrior of the 80's series as the result of a spell cast by Evil-Lyn.
* DemotedToExtra: As with Whiplash (see below)
* DumbMuscle: 2002 series only.
* {{Expy}}: The 2002 series' "The Island" introduced Clawful's cousin, who was intelligent and had ambition. He's basically Clawful of the '80s series.
%%* GiantEnemyCrab
* RightHandOfDoom: His right claw is much larger than his left -- ''much'' much larger in the 2002 series. This is based on real fiddler crabs.
* SimpletonVoice: 2002 series; ridiculously exaggerated, at that.
* TheStarscream: '80s series only.
* TooDumbToLive: The 2002 series. Seriously, he doesn't even recognize the language of his own species.
* ToylessToylineCharacter: One of the more notable exclusions from the 2002 toyline. This is why he was the first one honored with a statue in scale with the 2002 figures.

!!Draego-Man

A recent addition to the Evil Warriors created for the MOTU Classics toyline.

* TheHermit: He became so disgusted by human society that he went to live in a cave
%%* PlayingWithFire
* WhosLaughingNow: Was shunned by his dragon brethren for his half-human appearance, and joined Skeletor's forces to get revenge on them.

!!Evil-Lyn/Evelyn Morgan Powers
[[quoteright:78:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/evillyn_3283.jpg]]
-->Played by: Linda Gary (80's); Meg Foster (Live-Action Movie); Kathleen Barr ('02)
-->"I have no loyalty to Skeletor. It's his power I want."

An evil sorceress who works for Skeletor, but expects to overthrow him some day.

* AllThereInTheManual: Her last name comes from the original series bible, which said she was an astronaut from Earth like He-Man's mother Queen Marlena. But this was never used and later continuities have her father as a sorcerer called the Faceless One.
* DaddysGirl: But a subversion of DaddysLittleVillain, as her father is good.
%%* DarkActionGirl
* EvenEvilHasStandards[=/=]EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She is willing to help Skeletor in his attempt for world domination, but she will not betray her father and returns his magical Ramstone back to him when Skeletor loses it.
* EvilAlbino: Possibly. Pale skin, purple eyes, and white hair from at least late adolescence/young adulthood, according to one flashback.
%%* EvilSorcerer
%%* HotWitch
%%* LadyOfWar
%%* LeotardOfPower
%%* PurpleIsPowerful
%%* PunnyName
%%* ShesGotLegs
* TheStarscream: The 2002 series she even lampshades that Skeletor taught that deception and treachery "were the cornerstones of power" and she learned his lessons. They are both amused.
** This is played with in an episode before her betrayal. She points out that she's been Skeletor ally a long time and has loyalty to him. This changes when she finds out he let her get captured on purpose.
* WelcomeBackTraitor: In the 2002 series, Skeletor, after He-Man saves her from the Pool of Shadows (where Skeletor aimed to sacrifice her into the Forsaken Realm to as a deal with the dimension's [[EldritchAbomination native population]] as punishment for her releasing King Hiss), Skeletor lets her back into his ranks with no problems, with the two of them even sharing some laughs about what happened.

!!Faker
[[quoteright:141:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/faker_1911.jpg]]
-->Played by: John Erwin (80's)

A robot duplicate of He-Man, created to trick the Eternians.

* DependingOnTheWriter:
** His appearance: he's either [[GlamourFailure always blue and thus a failed attempt as a He-Man duplicate]], or he's blue but can change color to disguise as He-Man, or even is always identical to He-Man (despite the toy's blue appearance).
** His strength: he might have strength equal to He-Man's, or just average strength with his similarity to He-Man limited to appearance.
%%* EvilKnockoff
* FaceHeelTurn: It was implied by the '02 series writers and confirmed by his Classics bio that he is the same robot Man-At-Arms used as a decoy He-Man. It's still an arguable example since he wasn't sentient when he worked for Man-At-Arms.
* MythologyGag: In his appearance in "The Courage of Adam," he looks exactly like He-Man. When he's knocked out, however, he briefly turns blue before de-activating.

!!Gygor

A former warlord of the Vine Jungle, who was in suspended animation until Evil-Lyn freed him to bolster Skeletor's forces.

%%* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys

!!Karg
[[quoteright:252:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/karg.jpg]]
-->Played by: Robert Towers (Live-Action Movie)

A bizarre, hook-handed creature serving as a mercenary for Skeletor.

* BadLiar: Oh yes. His stated reasons for why the mercenaries failed are transparent, to say the least. Evil-Lyn is quick to call him on it and rub it in his face.
* CanonForeigner: Was introduced for the movie. He appeared in a couple of comics (including the movie adaptation and one comic where he fought Clamp Champ), but never in the toyline.
* DirtyCoward: The only reason the mercenaries fail on Earth is because Karg wimps out and orders a retreat. Once back in Eternia, he lies to Skeletor's face and claims they were "outnumbered."
* GeneralFailure: His track record leading Skeletor's {{Mooks}} isn't very good.
* HookHand: He has a barbed hook in place of his left hand, complete with a snazzy jeweled wrist cuff.
* MookLieutenant: Whenever Skeletor and Evil-Lyn aren't around, Karg seems to be the default leader of the Evil Warriors
* ToylessToylineCharacter: Apparently Mattel ''was'' going to make a Karg figure, but never did.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Skeletor. Despite just being a mercenary, he's devoted to the guy and is appalled when Evil-Lyn proposes running away and abandoning Skeletor at the end. A DeathGlare from her, though, gets him to reluctantly agree, though.

!!Mer-Man/Squidish Rex
[[quoteright:69:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/merman_6091.jpg]]
-->Played by: Alan Oppenheimer (80's); Creator/ScottMcNeil ('02)

King of the underwater creatures of Eternia.

* TheBeastmaster: limited to aquatic beings.
%%* FishPeople
* LiterallyShatteredLives: In the 2002 episode "Rise of the Snake Men Part 1", after being turned to stone and knocked over (don't worry, Skeletor resurrects him in the next episode).

!!Ninjor

An stealthy ninja who works for Skeletor.

!!Saurod/C'ngrel Chouloth
[[quoteright:91:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/saurod_8733.jpg]]
-->Played by: Pons Maar (Live-Action movie)

A reptilian warrior who is killed by Skeletor for his failure in getting the Cosmic Key.

* BreathWeapon: He throws sparks from his mouth, an ability not shown in the movie but added for the figure.
* CanonImmigrant: He originally appeared solely in the 1987 movie, but he got an action figure and so he was incorporated into the larger franchise along with Blade.
* KilledOffForReal: Zapped by Skeletor in the movie.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Because the comic book adaptation of the movie didn't include the scene where he died, subsequent issues used him.
* TheUnintelligible: Only in the movie, where he expressed himself through hisses. When he appeared in comics, he talked normal.

!!Scareglow/Karak Nul
[[quoteright:108:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scareglow_7338.jpg]]
-->"In my glow, even brave men tremble!"

A skeletal warrior whose body can glow and cause everybody who stares at it to see his/her greatest fears.

* IKnowWhatYouFear: Consistently depicted with such powers in some fashion or other, likely inspired by the name.
* LightEmUp: His 80s mini-comic appearance and his ''MOTUC'' bio both feature his ability spread fear by glowing brighter
%%** LightIsNotGood
* MultipleChoicePast: He came too late to the toyline to get enough spotlight, yet he got so popular (specially due to looking similar to Skeletor) that every writer tried to give his own interpretation: a being summoned from the reaches of space and time, a copy created by Skeletor in his own image, or the king of another dimension. The current version is that he's the ghost of a bounty hunter, summoned by Skeletor like in the first version.
%%* PowerGlows
* SinisterScythe: Wielded one in his '02-era comic appearance, which carried over to his ''Classics'' toy -- the original 80s toy had a halberd.
%%* SkullForAHead
* TheStarscream: His '02 era comic appearance ends with him plotting against Skeletor

!!Screeech

Skeletor's savage bird.

* EvilCounterpart: To the "Sorceress' pet" version of Zoar

!!Spikor/Kleffton
[[quoteright:88:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spikor_8790.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's)

A warrior covered in spikes that give him the advantage in close combat. He has an extendable left arm with a trident as a hand.

* TheBlacksmith: Shown as such in a single minicomic, though then he created the Terror Claws, which would become Skeletor's new weapons for the rest of the toyline run.
* DumbMuscle: Out of all the Evil Warriors, he is undoubtedly the most stupid and useless of them all (maybe because Filmation were afraid that his design would frighten children otherwise).
* SpikesOfVillainy: He has them around his whole body.

!!Stinkor/Odiphus
[[quoteright:132:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stinkor_547.jpg]]
-->Played by: Brian Drummond ('02)

A petty Paleezean thief who got the power to emit an awful odor.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the 2002 reboot. The original was basically the ButtMonkey of the bad guys, hated so bad the ''only'' reason he was kept around was his smell weakened He-Man and only appeared in two mini comics, the second one portraying him as a loser whose failure at guarding Snake Mountain causes Hordak to steal Skeletor's vehicles. In the 2002 reboot, he's actually the one minion Skeletor ''liked'' because he was so powerful and successful. In fact, he's one of the ''only'' villains to ever actually ''succeed'' at a mission (driving every dragon out of the country so Skeletor's newest weapon wouldn't have its natural predator present to defeat it).
* AscendedFanboy: Odiphus is shown to desperately want to be fighting for the bad guys, which he ultimately does as Stinkor.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Odiphus appears as a prisoner in "Snake Pit" before his appearance in "The Sweet Smell of Victory".
* EvilCounterpart: In 80s toy form, to Moss Man. They were introduced at the same time and had the gimmick of being scented. Moss Man smelled like pine, while Stinkor... stunk. Due to the special manufacturing process (the smelling substance was mixed into the plastic used), many Stinkor toys still smell bad to this day.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Stinkor is a skunk-man who had the power of smelling so horribly he had to use a respirator to keep himself from being knocked out. You would think this is a useless or stupid ability, but the 2002 reboot shows just how deadly this can be.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Stinkor's stench is just as horrible to himself as it is others, which is why he always wears a breathing apparatus and mask.
* MeaningfulRename: He insists on not being called Odiphus anymore. He's Stinkor.
* SmokeOut: In the '02 series he's capable of doing this wwith his stink.
* ThirdPersonPerson
* TookALevelInBadass: Odiphus was a villain wannabe and - like the rest of his species - quite small in stature. The chemical accident in Tri-Klops' lab gave him his power, as well as made him taller and physically stronger.
* ToylessToylineCharacter: Along with Clawful, he's one of the most notable characters missing from the '02 toyline -- and unlike Clawful, Stinkor even had an entire episode of the show dedicated to him! To compensate, he not only got one statue in scale with the 2002 figures, but got two, one as Stinkor and the other as Odiphus.

!!Trap Jaw/Kronis
[[quoteright:113:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trapjaw_3837.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Paul Dobson ('02)
-->"Nothing can stop me! I am unbeatable!"

An Evil Warrior who tried to turn by Skeletor, who left him severely injured. Tri-Klops remade him as a Cyborg with a mechanical jaw and a robotic right arm with interchangeable weapons.

* ArmCannon: one of his optional mechanical arms.
* AxCrazy: Established as such in the original mini-comics.
%%* {{Cyborg}}
* HandicappedBadass: The fact that he's STILL a viable threat despite being an amputee establishes him as this.
* HookHand: another optional hand
* {{Jerkass}}: Compared to Skeletor's other minions, he's easily on of the biggest assholes in this franchise. To date, he's betrayed no less than three allies: Mer-man after a team-up in an episode of the 80s Filmation cartoon and Stratos after the Enemy Mine episode in the 2002 series.

* SwissArmyAppendage: Trap Jaw has several attachments he uses; approximately a dozen in the original cartoon, though naturally the toy is limited to three.

!!Tri-Klops/Trydor Esooniux Scope
[[quoteright:53:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/triklops_1357.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Paul Dobson ('02)

A warrior with three eyes that give him different vision powers.

%%* CyberCyclops
* DumbMuscle: In the original series.
* EvilGenius: In the 2002 series.
%%* EyeBeams
%%* GadgeteerGenius
* MasterSwordsman: Mainly in the original minicomics. Kind of in the 2002 series.
* NobleDemon: Most obvious in the 80s minicomics, though the 2002 version counts as either this or some version of woobie (it could also be considered anti-villainous... maybe). So far, the only known incarnation of Tri-klops that DOESN'T qualify for this is the Filmation cartoon one, and that's only because that version had no personality to speak of.

!!Twistoid
[[quoteright:192:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/twistoid_9606.jpg]]
-->"Surrender!"

A spinning robot created by Skeletor stealing the machine used to create Rotar.

%%* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning
* EvilCounterpart: to Rotar
* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: He was supposed to be the first of many, to oppose the Horde Troopers, but the machine used to make him was recovered by the Heroic Warriors.

!!Two-Bad/Tuvar and Baddrah
[[quoteright:147:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/twobad_6053.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (both, 80's); Brian Drummond (Tuvar, '02); Mark Gibbon (Baddrah, '02)

A pair of bounty hunters who were merged by Skeletor due to their failure.

* BrainsAndBrawn: Tuvar's the brain and Baddrah's the brawn.
* DumbMuscle: Baddrah
%%* MultipleHeadCase
* VillainDecay: In the 2002 series. Individually, they both beat up the rest of the evil warriors, and proved a challenge for He-Man. When Skeletor merged them, they're harmless. Justified because they spend more time fighting with each other than doing anything useful.

!!Webstor/Araneus, Son of Raknus
[[quoteright:102:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/webstor_8247.jpg]]
-->Played by: John Erwin (80's); Brian Dobson ('02)

One of the few remaining Arachna, a race of spider people.

* EarlyBirdCameo: He is seen in the catacombs of Snake Mountain in "Snake Pit" before his appearance in "Council of Evil, Part 1."
%%* EscapeArtist
* EvilCounterpart: To Buzz-Of
* EvilGenius: Mostly in the less well-known British or German comics. His speciality are {{Death Trap}}s, since as an EscapeArtist he knows what would a captured enemy try.
* GiantSpider: More notorious in the 2002 series, but he was also supposed to be one in the 80s version of the franchise.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:WordOfGod says that when he collapses in "Web of Evil" from injuries inflicted by the Snake Men, he did die. While they did admit to leaving it ambiguous in the case of another writer wanting to use him, the fact that the show ended soon afterwards makes it a moot point.]]
* NobleDemon: Actually shows shades of this in some VERY obscure media. The first time this aspect of him is shown in the UK comic, it's an extreme case of HonorBeforeReason, as he intentionally leaves a way out of the trap he has put He-Man into, and after He-Man finds it, Webstor (right there) lets him go, telling he will face Skeletor's wrath for this. Unfortunately, this has been damn near forgotten everywhere else.
* RedemptionRejection: Refuses He-man's offer to join the Masters in the British comics, rather infuriatingly. He was probably knew that spider people always, always belong with the villains.

!!Whiplash/Torrant Krazut
[[quoteright:107:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/whiplash_MOTU_3437.jpg]]
-->Played by: John Erwin (80's); Creator/GaryChalk ('02)

Member of the reptilian species known as Caligars, who betrayed his people to join the Evil Warriors.
* AffablyEvil: In the 80s cartoon only. He's completely willing to sacrifice people heartlessly to an evil demon called Kraal (in Betrayal Of Stratos), but, as To Save Skeletor shows, he actually seems to genuinely care about his teammates, and has a generally easy-going, laidback personality all-around.
* DemotedToExtra: Going from the Filmation series to the 2002 series is... PAINFUL, to say the least, for a Whiplash fan. It's nothing but a sin to see how badly he was dumbed down, after his strong and intelligent Filmation showing. To put it succinctly, the episode "Underworld" gives him the spotlight over the other villains... and he gets a total of eight lines.
%%* DumbMuscle
* WhipItGood: He uses his tail as a whip.

* AmnesiacDissonance: In issue #11 of the Star comic.
* ArchEnemy: The 2002 series hinted that he was this to King Greyskull. King Hiss also refers to him as this.
* BadBoss: In the 2002 series, he kills one of his generals for giving him bad news.
%%* BigBad
* DragonInChief: To Horde Prime, as the Horde Prime never bothers to actually do anything.
* TheDreaded: In the 2002 series, everyone is afraid of him, EVERYONE, even King Hiss.
* EvilerThanThou: In the 2002 series, the backstory with King Greyskull reveals that he was this to King Hiss, hence part of why he so afraid of him.
* EvilVersusOblivion: In the 2002 series with the backstory mentioning the [[ExactWords Spell of Seperation]]. He intended to use it to separate Eternia into the light and dark hemispheres, except the spell ended up [[GoneHorriblyRight working better than he planned]] and nearly [[ApocalypseHow separated the very planet in two]], prompting him to halt it and hide away the pieces of the ArtifactOfDoom he used to cast the spell in the first place.
%%* EvilSorcerer
%%* EvilOverlord
* GreaterScopeVillain: In the 2002 He-Man series, he's a SealedEvilInACan, but the ManBehindTheMan with Skeletor since he's the reason he survived the injuries he got from Randor, and created the Dark Hemisphere. WordOfGod is that if the show continued he would have taken over as the BigBad.
* HeroKiller: In the 2002 series, he mortally wounds King Grayskull before being imprisoned in Despondos.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He called forth a portal to Despondos to trap King Grayskull, but the king turned the tables and sent him through instead.
%%* LargeHam
%%* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: When brought to animation, he became an enemy of She-Ra.
* SealedEvilInACan: In the 2002 series, he's sealed in Despondos by King Grayskull during the main series.

* SwissArmyWeapon: His arm, due to his ShapeShifting powers.
* ThisIsADrill: One of his many transformations.
* VillainousFriendship: As terrible he is to everyone else, he seems to have a genuine affection for his sidekick Imp.
* WorthyOpponent: He admits to being impressed with King Grayskull's abilities.

!! Catra/C'yra of D'Riluth III
-->Played By: [=Melendy Britt=]
Force Captain of the Evil Horde who has the ability to shapeshift into a panther.

* AdaptationalWimp: Is the BigBad of the minicomics, but is relegated to TheDragon in the show proper.
* {{Animorphism}}: Able to transform back and forth between a panther.
%%* CatGirl
%%* DarkActionGirl
* TheDragon: Alongside Shadow Weaver, Catra is often the leader of Horde soldiers on the field.

* EvilCounterpart: To Extendar. Their powers are different, but they share the same origin.
%%* {{Cyborg}}
* EvilFormerFriend: To Extendar in the UK comics.
%%* SuperSpeed
* TakeThat: to Transformers. He's a warrior who can run like a dragster via the wheel on his chest.

A close sidekick of Catra who can catch her enemies with her long braids. Just like Catra, Entrapta was added to the Horde in later media.

Basic soldiers of the Horde Empire.

* CanonImmigrant: Created for animation, but they were later added to the toyline.
* MechaMooks: DependingOnTheWriter, they can be humans or magically animated armors, but most of the time they are robots.

!!Imp
-->Played by [=Erika Scheimer=] (She-Ra)
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_b_9272.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:Every EvilOverlord should have one of their own.]]
Smallest member of the Evil Horde, and arguably the one most loyal to Hordak. He looks like something of a cross between a pig and a bat. When he's not busy disparaging the other Hordesman for their failures, he functions as Hordak's spy against the rebels. Acts rather like a mischievous child when left to his own devices.

* BrattyHalfPint: Combine his entitled attitude with his diminutive size, and this is what you get.
* CardCarryingVillain: Evil and proud of it. Of course may also be suffering a case of...
* CanonImmigrant: not an actual part of the MOTU toyline until the 2014 Invasion Hordak figure included him. He was originally believed by fans to be based on the red bat included with the original Hordak figure, but it was implicitly {{Jossed}} by Mattel when they said the 2014 one was the first Imp ever.
* CuteLittleFangs: Sports a pair of these
* CoDragons: Shares this role with Shadow Weaver as they are arguably the most competent and reliable of Hordak's minions. However, Hordak shows more favoritism towards him over his other minions.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Surprisingly, when Skeletor managed to depose Hordak in "Of Shadows and Skulls", Imp was the only Hordesman to remain loyal to Hordak, even berating the others for not kicking Skeletor's butt in Hordak's name. He also tends to be the one to try to cheer Hordak up whenever the EvilOverlord is feeling down.
* {{Flight}}: Those wings aren't just for show
* ForeignMoneyIsProofOfGuilt: This is what he used to frame Kowl.
* GoodWingsEvilWings
* HonorBeforeReason: "Shadows and Skulls" would have been so much easier on Imp if he hadn't tried to oppose Skeletor for Hordak's sake.
* TheImp: His name not withstanding, Imp's powers would make him a formidable opponent if he wasn't handicapped both by his size and his lack of fortitude.
* MagicPants: Imp's uniform will change shape with him, sometimes disappearing, sometimes providing black coloration to his disguises.
* MasterOfDisguise: Comes with being both a spy and a [[{{Shapeshifting}} Shapeshifter]]
* MobileShrubbery: Invoked when he actually took the form of a bush... and then proceeded to follow Adora and friends on tip-toe
* MorphicResonance: Usually played straight, but occasionally averted. While most of Imp's forms retained his normal blue color scheme, twice he was shown (as a picture and as a ground squirrel) to be able to change his color.
* NonHumanSidekick: Played this role to Hordak.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Cute, lazy, and more than a little bit of a brat, but underestimate Imp or get on his bad side and he'll quickly make more trouble than you might be able to handle.
* OddFriendship: Considering Hordak dislikes magic and flying creatures, one has to wonder why he's so protective of Imp.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: While it's unlikely he's an actual infernal being over simply an alien or genetic creation, there's little denying what look Filmation was going for when they designed him.
* OutOfFocus: Did not appear in the 2002 remake of He-Man with the rest of the Horde, and has yet to appear in the DC comics adaptation of the franchise.
* PetTheDog: Hordak may be a BadBoss, a {{Bully}}, and an EvilOverlord, but he positively dotes on this little guy and has gone out of his way to protect Imp or punish those who try to hurt him.
* ThePrankster: A particularly mean spirited one.
* ShapeshifterDefaultForm: Imp's normal form looked like a cross between a pig and a bat.
* SmallAnnoyingCreature: In universe, most everyone not named Hordak regards him as this.
* SnarkyNonHumanSidekick: When his ego starts to swell a bit much.
* TheSoCalledCoward: Played with. While Imp will avoid any fight not stacked in his favor, he still regularly journeys into enemy territory solo to retrieve information and items for his Master.
* StealthExpert: Surprisingly is still this even when not using his shapeshifting power. Is at least good enough to continually sneak into Brightmoon.
* SpoiledBrat: Hordak's favoritism has given, or enhanced, Imp's entitled attitude.
* SweetTooth: Since candy appears at least three times in his list of what he likes about fairs, it can be assumed he has one.
* TechnicolorEyes: His schlera are yellow as opposed to the normal white.
* {{Troll}}: Will frequently and happily point out the mistakes and failures of his fellow Hordesman, gleefully encouraging Hordak to met out punishments to them. Needless to say, he is not popular amongst his comrades.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: All of Hordak's minions hate him. When Skeletor takes over, they are willing to put up with Skeletor's abuse because it gives them a chance for vengeance on Imp.
* TheTrickster: How he is typically portrayed when he takes a more active role against the good guys. He once fooled everyone into think Kowl was a traitor, flooded Brightmoon Castle, and even started a destructive forest fire on Beast Island.
* UndyingLoyalty: For Hordak if nothing else. It's one of his few admirable qualities.
* VertebrateWithExtraLimbs: Two arms, two legs, and two wings.
* VillainousFriendship: Possibly the only creature on Etheria truly loyal to Hordak.
* VillainsOutShopping: Twice while spying on the Rebels in two separate episodes Imp expounded on his love of the fairs that were being held at the time. He actually sounded like a giddy little kid when he listed what he loved about them in "The Red Knight" and even lamented being on the job spying for Hordak and thus unable to go enjoy himself in "Friends Are Where You Find Them."
* VoluntaryShapeShifting: Imp's primary ability and what makes him so dangerous as a spy.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: To go with your blue skin

-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (She-Ra)

A Horde member with pop-out eyes that allow him to spy his enemies at long distances or shoot a stun ray.

* AdaptationalBadass: His 2002 incarnation only appears briefly, but he looks more fearsome and puts up a better fight against King Grayskull than Hordak's other forces.
* ButtMonkey: If Hordak is angry at a defeat, or merely bored, he uses Mantenna as an scapegoat and sends him through a trapdoor.
* TheDogBitesBack: He has turned the tables on Hordak a few times.
* EyeBeams: He can shoot a stun beam from his eyes.

-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's)

A beast capable of rearranging his body parts to take several different shapes.

* AdaptationExpansion: In his first minicomic appearance, he stated he was a former slave of Skeletor, and he joined the Horde to destroy Skeletor. The cartoon showed his origin and his tenure as one of Skeletor's Evil Warriors before joining the Horde in the She-Ra series.
* DetachmentCombat: Mostly uses it to divide himself into two bodies.
%%* HazyFeelTurn
* MadScientist: He was shown as such in the animated series, and the comics followed by showing him as the creator of Multi-Bot.

!!Shadow Weaver/Beatrix
-->Played by: Linda Gary

A powerful sorceress and second-in-command to Hordak.

* CastingAShadow: Known for her Shadow Magic.
* CoDragons: Shares this role with Imp as they are arguably the most competent and reliable of Hordak's minions.
* DarthVaderClone: Shadow Weaver has this down pat. She was a well respected hero with magic powers, until she sought power and succumbed to TheDarkSide ([[EvilMakesYouMonstrous which horribly disfigured her, no less]]), and has become servant to TheEmpire, being the right hand of the BigBad. She wears a cloak that allows her to be faceless, and talks in a [[EvilSoundsDeep deep, intimidating voice]] with VaderBreath.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: A powerful sorceress in a hooded dress.
* VaderBreath: Often begins her sentences with a raspy exhale.

-->"You know, He-Man, I knew King Grayskull, I fought King Grayskull, and you are not King Grayskull!"

Leader of the Snake Men, who can disguise himself as a human or shed his human skin to reveal his true form.

* ArchEnemy: To Zodak in the 2002 series. King Hiss seemed to feel his actual ArchEnemy was Hordak.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking
* BenevolentBoss: In a stark contrast to either Skeletor or Hordak. The Snake Men have UndyingLoyalty to him for this reason.
* BigBad: In a BigBadDuumvirate with Skeletor in the 80s minicomics, and supplants Skeletor as this in the 2002 series.
* EvilVersusOblivion: When Evil-Lin tries to release Hordak in the 2002 series, he tries to stop her, and fails because He-Man interferes not realizing what he was trying to do till after he prevent Hordak's escape, as even he doesn't want Hordak to return.
* FantasticRacism: If you're a Snake Man, he'll like you. If you're anything else, he'll consider you slave labor or food.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In the '02, his four secondary heads are temporarily turned against him and devour his main head. While, according to WordOfGod, this didn't ''kill'' him, the series ended before his planned return.
* IAmAHumanitarian: A species trait, though in the 2002 series, he's the only shown actually doing it.
* KnightOfCerebus: Definitely in the 2002 series. If not this in the 80s minicomics, he at least is a "Knight of Canon" as the comics begin to have a tighter, somewhat more serious continuity after he appears.
* PetTheDog: He's the only one in the group to treat Kobra Khan as "a proper Snake Man."
* SealedEvilInACan: Was imprisoned in limbo in both continuities until he escaped.
* SmugSnake: Quite literally
* [[TheWormThatWalks The Snake That Walks]]: His true form is multiple snakes tangled together.

-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Creator/ScottMcNeil ('02)

A descendant of the Snake Men who served Skeletor until King Hiss was freed.

* AllTheOtherReindeer: The other Snake Men, with the exception of King Hiss, think of him as just an inferior descendant of the ''true'' Snake Men.
%%* AlliterativeName
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Khan predates Mattel's creation of the Snake Men, so he was originally just a snake-themed Evil Warrior working for Skeletor during the 80s. Upon the Snake Men's introduction to the toyline, Khan was [[RetCon retconned]] into being tied to them.
* HollywoodAcid: He can spit this or spray poison/sleeping gas.
* TheMole: [[EvilVersusEvil Toward Skeletor]].
* RubberMan: One episode of the 80s series showed him having stretchable arms similar to Sssqueeze.
* TheStarscream: More towards General Rattlor than King Hiss.

General of King Hiss' troops, with an extendable neck and a rattle-sounding tail.

* TheBrute: The biggest of the Snake Men.
%%* TheDragon
* [[WhyDidItHavetoBeSnakes Why Did It Have to Be Mongooses?]]: For him (and possibly the other Snake-Man since they are the natural enemy of snakes). [[spoiler:Orko uses this against him in the episode "Second Skin" it helped he used a spell to make the mongoose bigger then Rattlor.]]

[[quoteright:135:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snakeface_9056.jpg]]
-->Played by: Paul Dobson ('02)
-->"Look at me!"

A gorgon-like Snake Man who can petrify his opponents by showing them the snakes that come out of his face.

* DeathByAdaptation: In the 2002 series, he's [[HoistByHisOwnPetard turned into a stone statue]] and imprisoned. In the [=MVCreations=] comic adaptation of the same episode, the statue is kicked down the abyss by Zodak. Luckily for Snake Face, later comics follow the TV version and he's shown as an imprisoned statue.
%%* HoistByHisOwnPetard
* KilledOffForReal: Technically in the MYP cartoon as he remains as stone for the remainder of the series. Definitely in the comic adaptation of the arc (see above). The ''Classics'' line also says he was killed by Saurod in Saurod's character bio.
* StoryBreakerPower / TooPowerfulToLive: Not so much if he was an one-shot villain, but that power is too much for a regular like him. The writers admitted that that they had to kill him off soon or his ability would could cause him to eclipse King Hiss as a threat.

!!Sssqueeze/Schisszz Shazzz
[[quoteright:121:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sssqueeze_9196.jpg]]
-->Played by: Brian Dobson ('02)

A Snake Man who can stretch his arms to ensnare his enemies.

* CynicalMentor: Compared to the other Snake Men, he seems to believe that Kobra Khan has a chance to become a "proper" Snake Man with some effort. For instance, learning how to [[SwallowedWhole devour his enemies alive]].
* KilledOffForReal: The ''Classics'' line says he was killed by Saurod in Saurod's character bio.
* RubberMan: At least with his arms.
* SssnakeTalk: Notably ''part of his name'', though he's just called "Squeeze" in the modern DC series.

-->Played by: Christopher Judge ('02)
* InkSuitActor: He is voiced by Christopher Judge and looks pretty similar to [[Series/StargateSG1 Teal'c]].

* AmnesiacDissonance: in issue #11 of the Star comic.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: In the 2002 series, Stratos' voice is plainly based on SeanConnery's; apparently, it was felt that Stratos's beard brought Connery to mind.

* AllThereInTheMsnual: Her last name comes from the original series bible, which said she was an astronaut from Earth like He-Man's mother Queen Marlena. But this was never used and later continuities have her father as a sorcerer called the Faceless One.
