Spell of Separation: STOP. IMMMUNE. Defend. At the end of your turn KO Orko.

NOTES
The sculpt for Overlord of Trolla parallels Orko’s 200x appearance. It was my fave of the redesigns for that show.

NOTES
Just as in the 1980s we still get previews of upcoming figures. The most recent preview as of this post includes unused prototype Snake Men from the 80s along with fan creations and original characters (love the eclectic flare). Nepthu becoming Pythonus is cannon from his Classics bio so logical remake but the new Snake Men are bound to either flesh out their Preternia era (Lady Slither) or reveal any survivors from the Second Ultimate Battleground. Either way it’s nice to flesh out the faction.

TRIVIA
In King Hiss’ mini comic we get an origin involving his rise to power as a conqueror. Surrounded completely by Snake Men with the sole exception being a scantily clad woman (totally not Leia) in panel 2, it was never explained why one human remained in his court. Some have theorized (me mainly) that she would have been a priestess to The Goddess that reconciled that her deity and Serpos were one and the same (as was eventually retconned anyway). Where Hiss conquered she would convert until they were all hurled into another dimension by the Council of Elders. If they all came back it’s safe to assume Mistress (emphasis on the ss) would be among them.
