Description
Wield's a psych club and the sexy power of persuasion.
Other Information

"Mumm-Ra Lives!" 5 part series.
* I went with the one 'l' spelling, even though the French Encyclopedia, where the pic is from, has two. This is because US based canon materials I've seen spell his name with a single letter, and being an American show, deemed it more 'official'.
Amok +
Alliance
Evil (Lunatak)
Description
Amok is a dumb brute, plain and simple. Dumb as a boulder, but could split one in two with hardly an effort. He's Luna's minion, dutifully toting the grumpy Lunie around where her own stubby legs won't take her. He's also got a weird affinity for candy. Amok is to candy as Homer Simpson is to donuts.
Other Information
Actually got Luna to apologize to him in the episode
"Mumm-Rana's Belt"!
Amortus
Alliance
Evil
Description
Amortus, who hails from the land of no return (on New Thundera), is essentially a blob with tentacles the touch of which leaves his victims solid stone. He failed to destroy Lynx-O and was banished by Mumm-Ra to the Netherworld for all time. With his final defeat, the Land of No Return was no more as well.
Apparently, before that Amortus's feud with Thunderians went far back in their history.

Though possessing physical strength, these naturally gentle and simple race of creatures fell prey to the Mutants and were enslaved. They helped build Castle Plun-Darr while under Mutant rule until the ThunderCats liberated them.
Later on, they also help build the Luna-Taks' Sky Tomb fortress.
However in Mumm-Ra Lives Part II where this takes place, it is proven that the brutemen are in fact capable of evil and are no harmless drones.*

"Slaves of Castle Plun-Darr".
Bushy +

episode of ill-repute - and is a bounty hunter that comes off like a con artist. Yeah.
Later, he is charged with keeping the Luna-Taks and Mutants imprisoned on Way Out Back, and can't even do that right, either.

Other Information
We first learn about Claud-Us in the original episode, "Return to Thundera".

Dirge +
Alliance
Evil (The Demolisher's Sidekick)
Description
If Lion-O has to put up with Snarf, then this is what silly sidekicks are like for evil guys - in other words annoying, drum rolling armadillo-like critters. Ugh. You know it's bad when even Snarf gets sick of this guy!

Dr. Dometone +

Lion-O also had to prove worthy to lead the 'Cats in a series of Trials, even though he was already the hereditary Lord.
Other Information
Lion-O appears in all 130 episodes of the series. And he's shirtless in one of them, mwahahaha!
Living Ooze +
Alliance
Evil (Creature of Third Earth)
Description
The Living Ooze is exactly as its named -- a living blob of blech that attacks all foolish enough to get near it -- think of a more viscous Jaba the Hut, people. The only thing that can fend off this destructive sea of ooze is an ancient formula called "soap". All I can say is if soap is a foreign concept to "modern" Third Earthers, may ye always be upwind of 'em.
Other Information
The Living Ooze wasn't featured in many eps...the first of which was "Mandora: Evil Chaser". Yes, this means you can blame Overgard for this, too.
Luna +
Alliance
Evil (Lunataks)
Description
Luna may be tiny, but her big mouth makes up for that. Armed with a riding crop and a bad attitude, she bosses around the other Luna-Taks with ease.
Other Information

Luna-Taks +
Alliance
Evil
Description
Collective name given to the season two crop of new "bad guys". They're smarter and more powerful than the Mutants, and have attitudes to match. There are 6 Lunies in all: Aluro, Luna and her trusty companion Amok, Chilla, Tug-Mug, and Red-Eye. Individual info on them can be found by searching out their names here.
Upon finally seeing a few second season scripts, the official word is the spelling is 'Luna-Taks'. Many fans just short-hand it to 'Lunies' anyway.
Other Information
The Lunatacs of Plun-Darr make their debut (if only by name) in Mumm-Ra Lives Part I. In
Lynx-O's words, they were raiders from the moons of Plun-Darr before his time.
The Lunatacs appear and are properly introduced (by name) in Mumm-Ra Lives Part II; TugMug, the tubby cybord,
Red-Eye the bug-eyed freak, Aluro, the suave mind bender, Chilla, the ice queen, and Luna the
screeching leader on a 24/7 PMS routine atop Amuck, the slow steed, comprise the gruesome fivesome.
They're here to kick ass and take names and they answer to no one.*
Lynx-O +
Alliance
Good (ThunderCats)
Description
Also among the newer ThunderCats, Lynx-O was blinded while trying to escape the dying Thundera. Now he uses a braille board to gain the sensory information lost from his lack of sight. His hearing is kick arse as well. He's also looked up to for the knowledge and wisdom his advanced age imparts. His only true "weapon" is a light disc on his wrist.
Other Information
In Mumm-Ra Lives Part I, Lynx-O also suggests the 'Cats build him a Braille Board, which would allow him to interpret the
information his acute sense of touch can gather off any object to an understandable form. Yeah,
he's weird like that...
Panthro and Tygra did create the Braille Board for Lynx-O after all in Mumm-Ra Lives Part II and we see it here for the first
time. How exciting...*
In "Side Swipe", I believe it was, Lynx-O's braille board was revealed to be only a figment of his mind's creation...wtf??? Someone, do a crack raid on the writers' staff meetings -- sheesh!
Also, in "Touch of Amortus", he and Cheetara seemed to link up psychically.

Evil (Third Earther)
Description
Mongor was a fear-mongoring goat dude that terrorized Third Earth ages ago, and was set free to wreak more havoc thanks to the curious Thunderkittens who discovered his tomb.

Mumm-Ra +(decayed)
Mumm-Ra +(everliving)
Alliance
Evil (ASOE)
Description
Mumm-Ra, the ancient Devil Priest of Third Earth, is a mummified corpse to be reckoned with. Thanks to the ASOE, he possesses mystical, magical powers that enable him to transform into a hulking "ever-living" form [using the encantation, "Ancient Spirits of Evil, transform this decayed form to Mumm-Ra, the Everliving!"]. In this form, he's quite powerful and dangerous. Catch is, he can only stay that way for a short time before he must regenerate his powers by resting in his sarcophogus.
Powers include:
Magical powers he can weild to transform himself, cast spells, shapeshift, shoot powerful beams from his fingertips not to mention spying on people via his magic cauldron.
Weaknesses include:
He can only maintain in his most powerful form as the Everliving for a short time before he has to return to his Pyramid to regenerate his strength.
Also, if he sees his reflection, he's so horrified by his own evil that it cripples his efforts and the battle is essentially over...at least this is true for roughly half the series.
Other Information
Mumm-Ra first shows his evil face in "Unholy Alliance". He spies on the 'Cats via his bubbling cauldron, which is how he hatches many of his schemes.
As of his reinstatement as a paragon force of evil in Mumm-Ra Lives Part V, Mumm-Ra has been granted immunity to the effects
of his reflection by the ASOE. Big thanks to Mr. Starr for killing that lame plot exit strategy!*

Alliance
Good (Third Earther)

Description
Mutant is the all-encompassing term for the humanoid hybrids that hail from the planet Plundarr. Those we see in the cartoon are greedy and power mad and covet the power within the Eye of Thundera.
Other Information
We never do get to see Plundarr, though Jackalman describes it briefly in "Unholy Alliance". As for the Mutants themselves, they're the ThunderCats' main nemesis along with Mumm-Ra, until mid-way through the series. That's when the Lunataks come into play...

Pumm-Ra +
Alliance
Evil (Mumm-Ra in Disguise)

The Mutant leader back in the days when the words "Jaga" and "youth" made sense in the same sentence, he weilded the powerful Sword of Plun-Darr. He also sought the Treasure of Thundera but when Jaga stopped him, Jaga's tossing the Sword of Plun-Darr into the molten core of Thundera ended up being the catalyst for Thudera's destruction. Oops.

His species have served ThunderCat nobility for generations, and Snarf is no exception. Often referred to as Lion-O's nursemaid, he was Lion-O's nanny more or less when the future Lord was but a cub.
Now that Lion-O's grown, it's hard for Snarf to let go of old habits and so he still worries and frets for Lion-O's safety. Snarf also takes care of the cleaning and cooking duties in the Lair.

T
Tabbuts +
Alliance
Unclear (Third Earther)
Description
A swine-like breed of Third Earthling, Tabbuts are known as money grubbers. Though not clearly allied with either good or evil, the fact that many tend to be greedy makes them fall in that grey area.
Few are mentioned by name, but one was called 'Pinch Penny' (ha ha) and the official synopsis from the Morals book says in "Thunder-Cutter", the Tabbut Mumm-Ra disguised as the Ninja was supposedly named "Gumla".
Other Information
Lion-O once disguised himself as a Tabbut to trick the Mutants...how the tall and burly lion passed as a short pig is beyond me. Maybe Mutants are that stupid afterall.

Tug-Mug
Alliance
Evil (Lunataks)
Description
Crass and rude, Tugsie loves nothing better than a good, rowdy fight (and likely, a good stiff drink). He's like the punk of the Lunies. Hails from the Moon of Plundarr which has some wicked-strong gravity -- thus his weapon, the gravity carbine.
Other Information
I like how Tug-Mug talks...like Cheech with a smoker's rasp or something. Wild.

Tygra +
Alliance

The shy, introspective architecht, Tygra carries a whip. He can also make himself invisible. Has a weird hang-up in that he can't swim unless invisible. Also seems prone to addiction. It's the shy ones ya gotta look out for, I'm telling ya...
Other Information
Tygra is next in line to become Lord of the ThunderCats should Lion-O's stupidity get him killed -- or so we can assume from "All that Glitters". Also, he's head of the Thundercats' council, meaning if he got feisty, he could tell Lion-O to just shut the hell up already in a council meeting. Mwahahhahaha!

Alliance
Good (Third Earther)
Description
A mystic, hippie-esque couple who tend the flock of unicorns on Third Earth. They carry staffs and seem to have but limited powers -- they're pretty passive at best.

Underearth People
Alliance
Good (Third Earther)
Description
Though their initial meeting with Lion-O wasn't exactly pleasant [ they zapped him with electricity from their fingertips and demanded he read to them ] they did prove they have good hearts when later they helped him rescue the Thunderkittens from a molten fate.
Their story is that they were driven underground long ago by book fearing oppressors. Their eyes became too weak to read their precious books due to years of living in dimly lit caves (thus, the bulging bug eyes). Because their eyes can't bear bright light anymore, they are more or less doomed to dwell in underground caves forever.
Other Information
Showed up only in the the third Anointment Trial, and they never did get an official name to their species.

Old Wizzra had a thing for Cheetara, too.
Other Information
What made the Sphinx angry, you ask? Why, an errant blast of red lighting from old Mumm-Ra knocked its nose off. Cute, huh? And all this time we blamed erosion.
Wizzra appeared in "Dimension Doom".
