4Moss Man
Able to shape - shift into plant life and camouflage himself with foliage , Moss Man is one ofMasters of the Universe ’s more unique characters . At peace with the natural earthly concern , Moss Man appears in bothRevelationandRevolution . Using his magnate , Moss Man encouraged all the nearby plant liveliness to defend Castle Grayskull . After Skeletor used the Havoc Staff to bite the Nature God , Moss Man guarantee a place in Preternia . At one with nature even in the afterlife , Moss Man makes a abbreviated appearance at theend ofRevolution .
The classic Moss Man action figure was blurry and smell of pine .
3Beast Man (Unconfirmed)
Beast Man , also know as Raqquill Rqazz , was one of the first seven characters Mattel created for itsMasters of the Universeline of toys . capable to mobilise Eternia ’s wild creature , theclassic Beast Man is one of Skeletor ’s closest followers .

WhileBeast Man ’s expiry is n’t necessarily confirmed , he is knocked into a chasm during the battle at Castle Grayskull .
2Hordak
At first , Skeletor does n’t substantiate that he really was Keldor once — long before Hordak ’s use . In the original series , Hordak is something of a mentor to Skeletor , and while he does dress Skeletor ’s thirst for villainy in Smith ’s serial , Hordak is n’t by all odds not someone Skeletor respects . While fighting near Castle Grayskull , Skeletor rein in expectant power ; Havoc Staff in hand , he vote out Hordak . The ending ofRevolutionmakes it cleared that Horde Prime ’s handmaiden , Despara , intends to resuscitate Hordak . For now , however , the villain can be counted among the stagnant inMasters of the Universe : Revolution .
1The Heroes Of Eternia
InMasters of the Universe : Revelation , various champions of Preternia make cameo - level appearances . These bygone heroes of Eternia appear at the end ofMasters of the Universe : Revolutiontoo , fall in the ilk of the late King Randor and Granamyr in the fight against Skeletor ’s nefarious Techno Titans . In Revelation , Teela and her companion distinguish that Preternia is a plushy , idyllic world that ’s dwelling house to fall heroes who become flat fighting to protect Eternia . Essentially , Preternia is theHe - Manfranchise ’s version of Valhalla . Some of these champions are more well - known inMasters of the Universelore than others , but it ’s fun to see all the eclectic graphic symbol snip up .
Althoughthe wiz of Preternia are technically already idle , it ’s still of import to note thatMasters of the Universe : Revolutionconfirms these deaths . Preternia is certainly a utopian hereafter , but that does n’t mean it ’s not an inauspicious turn of events for these Hellenic characters . asunder from Wun - Dar , Randor , and Granamyr , RevelationandRevolution ’s fallen heroes of Eternia admit the following characters .
Vikor
mean to be a prehistoric iteration of He - Man , Vikor sportsman furs , fangs , and a viking - inspired helmet . When Mattel re - released its classicMasters of the Universetoy tune in 2011 , however , Vikor get ahead a raw role . After King Grayskull ’s death , the Sword of Power found none worthy of its abilities . Vikor acted as the blade ’s trustee , protect the relic until a new champion of Eternia was pay to handle it . A comparatively modest character , Vikor ’s backstory sum layers to Eternia ’s compelling lore .
He-Ro
The competently style He - Ro is actually a sobriquet contribute upon two separateMasters of the Universecharacters . The one image inRevelationwas have in mind to be the face of a whole raw Mattel toy product line featuring lineament from Eternia ’s prehistoric culture . ab initio intend to be a wizard with link to He - Man , He - Ro was at last given a more solid backstory as the boy of King Grayskull . InMasters of the Universelore , Adam and Teela ’s son also takes on the name He - Ro — perhaps in pureness of the fallen champion .
Kuduk Ungol
The sorceress who came before Teela , Kuduk Ungol was a fierce defender of Castle Grayskull . Connected to the original sorceress , Queen Veena , Kuduk ’s ultimate luck is n’t very well - documented . However , RevelationandRevolutionmake it clear-cut that the sorceress stop up her place in Preternia through noble and all important Acts of the Apostles of bravery . Like many of the other champions of Preternia boast in the serial publication , this variant of Kuduk Ungol hails from a distant prehistorical past .
King Grayskull
In otherMasters of the Universeiterations , King Grayskull is an ancestor of not just He - Man , but King Randor as well . Previously , he even let his spirit rest within the Sword of Power . However , RevelationandRevolution ’s version of the character is a little unlike : He ’s He - Ro ’s Church Father , andKing Grayskull the one who really mold the Sword of Power . The original star of Eternia , King Grayskull is a fundamental part of the He - Man traditional knowledge and bequest , so it only makes sense that he would appear in Preternia and stand beside other fallen champions . At the ending ofMasters of the Universe : Revolution , the fallen heroes might fall to Preternia , but they aid He - Man and Teela save Eternia once more .
