1983 FILMATION MOTU ANIMATED SERIES
An inhabitant of the Demon Zone, Whiplash initially served the Demon King, Kraal, and had a legion of creatures serving him. He became one of Skeletor’s most confident and trusted warriors, using his strong tail to throw boulders or cause rockslides. He could track enemies over great distances with his keen sense of smell.
Although loyal to Skeletor, Whiplash actually saved Eternia on one occasion, when he traveled to the Royal Palace and warned the heroes about the appearance of the demon Sh’Gora and its impending assault on the planet.
1983 MOTU MINICOMICS
As in other media, the reptilian brute known as Whiplash was one of Skeletor’s Evil Warriors in the MOTU mini comics. The lizard-like creature was a mighty combatant whose most prominent feature was his thick, muscular tail. Whiplash could manipulate his tail to deliver devastating blows to his enemies. The tail was so powerful that it could wrap itself around a full grown man and easily lift him into the air.
Whiplash’s simplistic way of speaking indicated that the thuggish reptile possessed a low level of intelligence. However, he more than made up for this lack of brains with ferocious strength and a savage disposition.
TRIVIA
Whiplash was depicted wearing yellow pants in the mini comic The Clash of Arms. This look was based on a concept design.
