SYNOPSIS

Real name: Hssss from the House of Vipers

Hssss was a servant of the Nameless One and was chosen to lead an army of Snake Men to Eternia to plunder its magical secrets. He ruled Eternia for three centuries until a rebellion formed under D'Vann Grayskull. Shortly after, the Horde invaded Eternia, and Hssss was drawn into a three-party war. All three sides temporarily agreed to a truce to build the Three Towers—but Hssss was betrayed by Hordak and eventually banished to the Void by the Elders and Zodak. He and his army waited for five thousand years until Evil-Lyn and a Snake Men descendant named Kobra Khan opened the Snake Pit to free him. Hssss often deceives his enemies with a heroic appearance—but then he transforms into a seething mass of snakes and leads the Snake Men into battle!
