Rattlor attacks He-Man.

Rattlor working for Skeletor.

Rattlor was a member of the Evil Horde, who worked in tandem with Tung. He was mostly a silent figure, who communicated by rattling his tail. The rattles were then translated by Tung. Despite this, Rattlor did occasionally speak[2].

Despite his early allegiance to the Horde, he was, at one point, seen working for Skeletor, but later returned to the Horde[3].

Rattlor with King Hssss.

Rattlor served as the General of the entire Snake Men army and the loyal right hand of King Hssss. After a climactic battle with Zodak and the Council of Elders, Rattlor and the other Snake Men were sealed in the void beneath Snake Mountain for thousands of years.

When Kobra Khan, a descendant of the Snake Men, managed to open the void, General Rattlor was the first Snake Man freed by Kobra Khan. Before he could release the rest of his army, however, the void was sealed once again by the combined efforts of Zodak and He-Man, and Rattlor and Khan fled[4].

The General.

Lying low for some time, Rattlor and Khan secured the co-operation of Evil-Lyn and turned her against Skeletor, convincing her to help them release King Hssss. Stealing Zodak's staff, Rattlor and Khan were finally able to free King Hssss and the rest of the Snake Men, and quickly took command of Snake Mountain. After a failed attempt to take Castle Grayskull, Rattlor was captured and imprisoned[5].

Rattlor later managed to escape captivity by using his shed skin as a distraction. He quickly rejoined King Hssss, but was furious that Kobra Khan had known where he was imprisoned, but not come to his rescue. Khan had instead positioned himself as King Hssss's most loyal servant during Rattlor's absence, something which infuriated the General, who looked down on Khan as but a puny descendant of the real Snake Men[6].

Later, Rattlor assisted Hssss in an attempt to stop the return of Hordak[7], and helped him to release the Snake God, Serpos[8].
