Hordak is a fictional character in the Masters of the Universe franchise, as a villain who opposes She-Ra and He-Man, as well as the franchise's main villain, Skeletor, to whom he was once mentor. Hordak is the lead villain of the She-Ra: Princess of Power cartoon, in which he is the archnemesis of She-Ra, He-Man's twin sister.
In this series, he rules the planet of Etheria with an army of Horde Troopers, most of whom wear a red bat symbol on their chests to convey their allegiance. According to most story media, Skeletor betrayed Hordak and trapped him in "another dimension" before beginning his own conquest of the planet Eternia. Hordak, not to be outdone, then returned with a vengeance to take over Eternia for himself.
Hordak is recognizable by his white (sometimes cream/bone coloured) face, with sharp red eyes, his flat snout-like nose, red fangs and pointed bat-like ears. He wears a collar of bones and black armor over his chest, emblazoned with the Horde bat symbol. His appearance resembles a bat-like creature, although in some media he appears more cyborg-like. Whenever he talks, he pauses his talking by snorting between his statements. According to the toy line's creator Roger Sweet, his face was modelled on an African witch doctor's mask.
When the light baths the light for the last time
And the sunset turns everything red
The dust of the dusk draws a shape
Running down the hills again
Allied of the night and the moonlight
Your howls blow in the wind like horns of war
(You are) Proud of your kind and your name
Your blood of warrior still rages on and on
Before a thousand battles
Before ages and storms
The wisdom grows in your eyes
Brother, warrior, god!
And they run down from the hills and the fear blew in
the wind
When the light faded and the hunting started once more
Lurking far below their land, feed themselves and feed
the pack
And defend the till the end...Of times
Fallen warrior´s souls, since old, legends tell they
ride the endless skies and then become wolves
Once in a struggle i fell and my blood now is the
same...of the ones that devaour me
But your kind has suffered the genocide
Of mankind that tears everything apart
Whose life´s only sense´s devastation
In your language i will scream revenge
For the scars of the past wounds in my skin
Tears crosses my face while their last howls crosses
the lands
Sun and the moon will cry your loss but
Now it´s the time for us to return
