==Characters== The series' narrator was [[Dick Tufeld]]. * Thundarr (voiced by [[Robert Ridgely]]) is the main protagonist of the series. He is a [[barbarian]] who was once a slave to Sabian until he was freed by Princess Ariel and given the Sunsword which he uses as a weapon in his fight against evil wizards and other villains. Thundarr was known for frequently uttering such pronouncements as "Demon dogs!",<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thundarr.com/sounds/demondogs.mp3 |title="Demon dogs" sounds clip |website=Thundarr.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111004185951/http://www.thundarr.com/sounds/demondogs.mp3 |archive-date=October 4, 2011 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> "Lords of Light!",<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thundarr.com/sounds/lol2.mp3 |title="Lords of Light" sound clip |website=Thundarr.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060913055827/http://www.thundarr.com/sounds/lol2.mp3 |archive-date=September 13, 2006 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> "Ariel, Ookla, Ride!", and his war-cry "Aaaaa-HEE!".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thundarr.com/sounds/battlecry.mp3 |title="Aaaaahh-ee" battle cry sound clip |website=Thundarr.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060910184513/http://www.thundarr.com/sounds/battlecry.mp3 |archive-date=September 10, 2006 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> Thundarr, along with his friend Ookla, are largely unknowledgeable about the world so they rely on Ariel's guidance, but Thundarr is respectful of knowledge which is gained. * Ookla the Mok (voiced by [[Henry Corden]]) is a member of the Mok species, a [[Lion|leonine]] [[humanoid]] with fangs and yellow eyes. In ''Thundarr the Barbarian''{{'}}s [[backstory]], Ookla and Thundarr were enslaved in the court of the wizard Sabian until Sabian's stepdaughter Princess Ariel helped them escape. As a Mok, Ookla has great strength, he usually fights by ripping up a nearby sapling or ripping up a piece of wreckage and clubbing his enemies with it. On a few occasions, he uses a longbow that fires a type of paralyzing arrow. However, he is also the most likely of the heroes to charge right into an enemy attack and he is also easily enraged by unusual nuisances or threats. Moks dwell in their own territory, ruled by a king; they fear and hate water. While they prefer to face perilous odds on land rather than travel by water, in extreme cases, they can be persuaded to [[naval warfare|fight on water]]. While Ariel generally understands Ookla, Thundarr is more knowledgeable about Ookla, probably because they became friends and they also worked together during the time when they were enslaved. Whereas Thundarr and Ariel ride horses for transportation (his is white; hers is brown), Ookla's steed is another quadrupedal species which is called an equort. * Princess Ariel (voiced by [[Nellie Bellflower]]) is a powerful [[magician (fantasy)|sorceress]]. Not much was revealed about her past before she met Thundarr except that she was the stepdaughter of an evil wizard named Sabian. She learned of Earth's history from his library, and thus is considered the "academic" of the group.<ref name="Episode 1.01">Episode 1.01, "Secret of the Black Pearl"</ref> In the episode "Battle of The Barbarians", it is revealed that Thundarr was once a slave of the evil wizard Sabian before being freed by Princess Ariel. It was never revealed exactly where she was a princess. Her most common feats of [[Magic (paranormal)|sorcery]] involved creating light constructs such as archways and bridges, exploding spheres and levitating weights to summoning nets, shields, or bridges over chasms.<ref name="Episode 1.01" /> She can also produce powerful energy blasts, blinding light and magically reanimate machines. When her wrists are bound together, she cannot work her magic, and is vulnerable to capture. At times, she shows romantic feelings for Thundarr; but he never outwardly returns them, although it's clear that he cares greatly for her and he also considers her an important team member. Ariel's attire consists of knee-high boots, wrist bracelets, and an open-backed, leg-baring cyan (with yellow trim) costume which resembles a bathing suit. ===Additional voices=== The series' voice director was Alan Dinehart. * Henry Corden as Caroc Leader, Gemini, Vortak, Skullus, Captain Willows (in "Island of the Body Snatchers"), Mutant Deputy #2 (in "Trial by Terror") * Nellie Bellflower as Dr. Craft, Manhat Dweller, Mina * [[Michael Ansara]] as Vashtarr * Marlene Aragon as Maya * Liz Aubrey as Valerie Storm * [[Michael Bell (actor)|Michael Bell]] as Yondo * Alan Dinehart * Al Fann * Joe Higgins as Korb * [[Stacy Keach Sr.]] * [[Keye Luke]] as Zevon, Infernus, Kublai * [[Chuck McCann]] as Artemus, Mutant Deputy #1 (in "Trial by Terror") * [[Nancy McKeon]] as Tye * [[Julie McWhirter]] as Stryia * [[Shepard Menken]] * [[Alan Oppenheimer]] as Mindok, Morag, The Old Wizard * Robert Ridgely as Henchman, Manhat Dweller, Old Eskimo * [[Avery Schreiber]] as Octagon * [[Hal Smith (actor)|Hal Smith]] as Simius * [[Joan Van Ark]] as Cinda, Queen Diona, Captain Corden * [[Janet Waldo]] as Circe * [[William Woodson]] as Crom
