Modulok is Hordak's three-legged villainous scientist and inventor.

The only now-Horde member to originate from the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series,
Modulok was formerly a crazed Eternian Scientist called Galen Nycroft whose main aim in life was to
be outrageously powerful. One of Galen's schemes was thwarted by the Eternian Court of Law and he
was, as a result, locked away. However, his assistant, Bird-Bat, who seemingly remained on Eternia,
had been watching over his master and brought a strange mechanical object to his cell. This was the last
piece Galen needed for an invisible invention, which would make him the mightiest beast in all Eternia -
yes, it transformed him into Modulok. In his newly-found form, he escaped to wreak havoc on all of
Eternia, several times and kept the name Modulok in place of Galen Nycroft.

Though Skeletor originally refused Modulok a place in his 'gang' for being a simple Scientist, he would later
pop up in a brief cameo alongside Two Bad. So, though we never saw him being accepted into Skeletor's
ranks, this fact leads us to assume that old bone-brain finally gave way. Our suspicions are confirmed when
we leap along Filmation's timeline, only to discover Modulok working along with Skeletor in the She-Ra
series. His transition between the two worlds was on the simple basis that Hordak would pay him more
than Skeletor - supposedly because of the general magnitude of the Horde. [34]

His appearances in the She-Ra series were limited to just several Season One episodes, but these did at least
give him a sufficient amount of material, allowing us to be firmly established with Modulok, his character and
his need for power. Right from his first appearance in He-Man, Modulok had always been a very individual
villain, making and creating gadgets here and there, and this theme was in no way abandoned in the She-Ra
series.

His inventions include a Gate-Maker, which could transport an entire army to other worlds, [34] an ultra-
sophisticated psychic talking-computer [42] and a Weather Wheel, capable of transforming the climate of a
certain area at the touch of a button. [58] He also created Multi-Bot - one of his goofier 'triumphs'!

His scientific-skills prove that he is not your average villain, as his plots are usually far more complex than
those organised by other Horde members. Another ability posessed by Modulok is his power to transform
body-parts into other objects. Hammers, Cannons, Force-Converters - you name it, and it's likely that Modulok
could provide at a moment's notice.

Finally a fact that Modulok himself would probably prefer to forget about. After his first reckoning with She-Ra,
Modulok revealed to Hordak that his Gate-Maker was one of a kind that used rare minerals - of course, Hordak
was not best pleased. So, from Horde Scientist, as he was originally named, he was demoted to Horde Cook,
due to his failure! [34] We are led to assume that he got his title back due to his success at tracking the one
person who could defeat She-Ra - the Melog. [42] However, the experiment failed at the hands of Shadow
Weaver, so Modulok may have escaped unscathed on that occasion...
