Inhumanoids is an animated series and Hasbro toy property in 1986. In the tradition of other Hasbro properties such as Transformers and G.I. Joe, the show was produced by Sunbow and Marvel Productions and animated in Japan by Toei Animation. Inhumanoids tells the story of the scientist-hero group, Earth Corps, as they battle a trio of subterranean monsters called the Inhumanoids with the aid of elemental beings, the Mutores.
The Inhumanoids series did not begin as a conventional 22-minute cartoon, but rather as a slate of six-to-seven-minute shorts that aired as part of the collective Super Sunday half-hour block alongside other Marvel/Sunbow series, Jem and the Holograms, Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines and Robotix. Although Bigfoot had only nine episodes, the other shows ran to 15 episodes, telling a complete story across their numerous installments, which were later edited together to form "movies" that were released on video. Out of the four, Jem proved to be the most popular and was eventually made into an ongoing series that lasted for 65 episodes.

The idea appears several times in translations of the Old Testament. It was a widely extended belief among many Mediterranean and Asian tribes and cultures.

My dizzy spells.
My aching shell.
My dire self has found a home.
I cannot laugh.
I cannot smile.
I cannot wait to be alone.
A drop of oil onto my soil i swear to god I'm not a
fool.
A few magic words and i am through.
I cast an evil eye.
I spit my name along the truth.
I caught the evil eye off you.
My mother wakes.
My father shakes.
My gypsy waits to hear the news.
I mustn't lay.
I mustn't sway.
I mustn't dream of the accused.
A drop of oil onto my soil i swear to god I'm not a
fool.
A few magic words and i am through.
I cast an evil eye.
I spit my name along the truth.
I caught the evil eye off you.
Remember when we're dead.
Remember all that's said.
I break a sweat to my dry-est breath.
My neighbors left a box of prunes.
I cannot eat.
I cannot drink.
If i could weep I'd weep for you.
A drop of oil onto my soil i swear to god I'm not a
fool.
A few magic words and i am through.
I cast an evil eye.
I spit my name along the truth.
I caught the evil eye off you.
Remember when we're dead.
Remember all that's said.
Remember your beads & thread.
