Gygor is an unreleased character of the Masters of the Universe toyline, who would eventually have a figure released as part of Masters of the Universe Classics.
History[]
Gygor rose to prominence in the gladiatorial arena of Lord Choloh. After he brutally defeated Choloh's champion, Vykron, Gygor claimed the championship, as well as Choloh's throne.
Masters of the Universe Classics bio[]
Shortly after the Great Unrest, Keldor was driven behind the Mystic Wall and Gygor, Lord of the Vine Jungle, lead an army of beast men in a series of raids against the long forgotten Castle Grayskull, believing the many tales of its great and mysterious power. It was only through the combined powers of Oo-Larr- the jungle He-Man and The Goddess that Gygor was defeated and placed in a state of suspended animation. Eventually, Hordak returned to Eternia and the savage gorilla was freed by Evil-Lyn in her attempt to bolster Skeletor's forces against the new Horde army. Gygor uses his great strength to fight the Heroic Warriors.
However, Gygor betrayed Evil-Lyn and Skeletor and joined forces with the Horde. In the Second Ultimate Battleground, Skeletor fought and slew the giant fighting gorilla with his Terror Claws.
Trivia[]
- The unreleased vintage Gygor was intended to be a reuse of the Big Jim gorilla mold.
- Gygor's backstory was established in the bio on the back of his MOTU Classics package written by Scott Neitlich, and elaborated upon in the bios written for the action figures of Vykron and Terror Claws Skeletor.
