Tung Lashor is a Snake-Man, aiding Hordak and the Evil Horde.
Though
Tung Lashor was originally intended to be part of the Snake Men,
along with Rattlor,
pitted against He-Man and the Masters of the Universe on Eternia,
Filmation gave him the role as
an occasional addition to Hordak's arsenal of evil-doers on
Etheria.
Seemingly
as a tribute to his original roots, Tung Lashor was occasionally
seen as a partner in
crime with Rattlor. [19, 26] However, each of the Snake Men,
when showcased, were just as
pathetic in battle as the other one and so making easy battles
for She-Ra.
Another
similarity between the two is their assistance to villain ranks.
Filmation could never
decide where they belonged - primarily members of King Hiss' clan,
the Snake Men, then
transferred to the Evil Horde and finally seen amongst Skeletor's
cronies. However, this was less
obvious when Rattlor, a villain without a Horde emblem, appeared
with old Bone Brain [He-Man
and She-Ra: A Christmas Special] than it was with Tung Lashor
who suddenly popped up in
Snake Mountain, proudly sporting his Evil Horde symbol! [35]
The
confusion surrounding his changed-allegiance isn't where our
perplexity ends. To throw us
even further, Tung Lashor, to give him his full title, is the
only character to be given different names
by different characters. One episode forbade him an identity, [18] and whereas Skeletor announced
him as 'Tung Lash' [34], Hordak, on two separate
occasions, used either his full name or Tung, [26]
a possible nick-name. It seems strange that such a minute
character could have so many paths,
but Tung Lashor achieves this without any question whatsoever.
His
prime ability was simply to use his tongue for absolutely any
purpose that needed doing. From
useful ventures like capturing Madame Razz, [43] to less useful ones such as
cleaning Fright Zone
equipment and even operating machinery, Tung Lashor's tongue was
often the source of comic
relief, especially when he got into a tangle with She-Ra. [26]
Like
Mantenna, he was also ridiculed by Hordak and Imp, but not to the
extent of ending up in the
deepest depths of the Fright Zone swimming pool. Instead, they
just seemed to give up on him
after his failures; his biggest of which easily being the
inability to control a bunch of school-kids!
Finally,
a pointless piece of trivia - notice how small Tung Lashor really
is, losing approximately
twenty centimetres to Adora! [26]
