Rattlor is a member of the Snake Men, villains of the Masters of the Universe franchise. Rattlor first appeared in the "King of the Snake Men" minicomic, where he and Tung Lashor are called from another dimension by King Hiss. When they appear, Kobra Khan says they "are from the Evil Horde on Etheria!", but both Snake Men swear allegiance again to their former leader King Hiss. Rattlor also appeared in the She-Ra TV series as a member of the Evil Horde (maybe to show his time with the Horde before the return of King Hiss) and, in later episodes, an Evil Warrior (maybe to show his re-allegiance with the Snake Men, who were allies with Skeletor in the minicomics).
Rattlor also appeared in the 2002 series, where he was not only one of the Snake Men, but the general of King Hiss' troops. In the episode "Snake Pit", the general Rattlor is the first snake man freed by Kobra Khan. While being portrayed as another idiotic henchmen in the filmation series, the Rattlor of the new series was a commanding figure and a cunning tactician who served as King Hiss' right hand man. He also gradually developed a rivalry with Kobra Khan who attempted to replace him as King Hiss's lieutenant.
In both versions, Rattlor has an extending neck and a long tail. Both incarnations of the toy have a "rattle" sound.
[edit] Trivia
- In the minicomics and She-Ra TV series, Rattlor was portrayed mostly as Tung Lashor's sidekick, contrary to his 2002 portrayal, where he is King Hiss' direct second-in-command.
