Reader of this blog, François, directed my attention to
Grizzlor, an enemy of He-man.
Here are some fun facts about Grizzlor: When he was first introduced, Grizzlor was a legendary, elusive hairy wild-man that left footprints behind as clues to his existence. Sound familiar? He was originally defeated after being shown his reflection in a mirror. Yes, his own terrifying visage is his one weakness. Grizzlor may not be evil. Some evidence suggests he is merely stupid and child-like, a cruelly manipulated pawn of Hordak, chief of the Evil Horde. Later in the She-Ra cartoons, he is seen operating a computer console and commanding a series of Destructotanks. Maybe not so stupid as we thought? Grizzlor was supposed to get more of a role in the updated 2002 He-Man cartoon, but the show was suddenly cancelled. He does make a brief, silent cameo, and his updated, "modern-look" action figure was made. Look at all those throwing axes they give him. He has to keep them in a backpack and lug them around. And what is that? A bladed crossbow? I guess in a tight spot he can just stab people with it. Ol' Grizzy has really taken up bloodpainting, apparently.
