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 multi-part series "Dorno and the Mindbender by roemesquita" was one that I commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2021. Three pictures are included here.
It was inspired by an episode from the second season in 1981. In "Mindbender", Dorno releases an ancient being from a sleep chamber and returns his amulet. However, the ancient being is called a Mindbender, was purposely imprisoned in the sleep chamber, and derives telekinetic powers from the amulet. The Mindbender shows his appreciation by creating a hole and dropping Dorno in it. Rescued by Gloop and Gleep, the son of Zandor attempts to steal the amulet from the Mindbender. However, the boy is caught and about to be destroyed. Fortunately, Zandor distracts Mindbender long enough for Dorno to escape. This is a whimsical depiction of a different encounter, playing off the Mindbender's stated appreciation of Tara's "spirit".
After dealing with Tara the angry mother, the Mindbender returns his attention to her son Dorno.
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.
