Dorno is the son of Zandor, leader of the Herculoids, and his wife Tara, a family of three humans and their five very powerful pet creatures defending their jungle planet.  The Herculoids were the subjects of an American animated television series, which debuted in 1967 and was revived in 1981 on CBS and produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions.

The 4-picture series "Dorno and the Gorgon by roemesquita" was one that I commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2020.  

It was inspired by an episode from the second season in 1981.  In "The Olympians", the Herculoids fight the descendants of Greek Olympian gods.  Dorno, Tundro, and Gloop are turned into stone by a descendant of Medusa the Gorgon.  Ultimately, they are rescued by Moleculad of the Teen Force.  However, in this whimsical depiction, an overconfident Dorno faces Medusa alone.

These pictures are fan art and primarily intended to raise interest in the Herculoids and Dorno.  These are original scenes and did not appear in any movies, television series or any other derivative media.
