Love Bird

A Love Bird is a creature that appears in the animated series The New Adventures of He-Man.

The Love Bird was a creature native to the planet Darius-7.

Master Sebrian, who had visited the planet years earlier, remembered this type of bird very well. When the painter Helm came to visit Sebrian on Primus, he gifted the master with a painting of a Love Bird, painted with magical brushes given to Helm by his grandmother, an old acquantance of Sebrian.

According to Gleep, the painter had used anti-graviatational pigment with a chemical interaction that allows it motion.

Some time later, the evil Skeletor used a magic spell to make some of his own evil flow into Helm's paintings and make them come alive. He then commanded the creatures to go attack the inhabitants of Primus.

Sebrian and Mara woon found themselves attacked by the Love Bird come to life. It's piercing shriek emited a sonic wave that could destruct their eardrums, and even that of He-Man and Helm who soon came to their rescue.

The only way to defeat the Love Bird was for Helm to destroy the brushes with which it had been created. He did so with pain in his heart, as the brushes were his grandmother's last gift to him, but Helm knew it had to be done.
