Panthor is Skeletor’s evil feline companion, a giant purple panther who serves as an evil counterpart to Battle Cat. Panthor is portrayed as Skeletor’s pet, being at the right of his throne. However, unlike He-Man’s Battle Cat, Panthor lacks the ability to speak, and only appears in a handful of stories in the original series. While his role is similarly limited in the 2002 series, he is more prominent in the episodes in which he does appear. Panthor was much larger and more vicious than his Filmation counterpart. He was also shown occasionally wearing his armor.
