The Herculoids is a superhero team from the animated series of the same name.
Origin[]
The origin of the Herculoids banding together is unknown.
The Herculoids featured the warrior king Zandor; his wife, Tara, and their son, Dorno. These three appeared to be the only human inhabitants of their primitive planet, Amzot, but they were well-known across the universe. When trouble arose, Zandor summoned a small army of exotic beasts: Igoo, an giant ape with nearly-invulnerable rock-like skin; Zok, a space dragon who generated laser beams from his eyes and tail; Tundro, a dinosaur-rhinoceros hybrid with impenetrable armor and the ability to shoot explosive energy rocks from the horn on his head, and Gloop and Gleep, a pair of protoplasmic shape-shifters. The Herculoids all displayed human-level intelligence, were able to understand human speech and employed impressive combat techniques and teamwork in battle.
