MOTU Classics - Shadow Beast

Great ape-like beasts who live in tribes throughout the dark hemisphere, Shadow Beasts can only come out in the absence of light. Originally created by Count Marzo as a weapon to use against his enemies, the beasts were driven back by Princes Keldor and Randor and forced to reside in the shadows of Mount Barathrum. There they developed a long standing hatred of bothe the Human and Gar race. Easily manipulated, the ever growing colony of Beasts was later controlled by Beast-Man in the service of Skeletor to take down Eternos Palace. With their great strengths and stealth-like appearance, Shadow Beasts are more than a match for most Heroic Warriors.
