Zilora

Zilora was a supporting character who featured in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon series by Filmation.

History
Zilora was a warrior woman and leader of the Snake Clan during Eternia's distant past. She was outfitted in armor with various snake motives and wore a cobra headpeace.

Zilora was the strong-willed leader of the Snake Clan in Eternia's Past and defended her clan as one of it's greatest warrors by using a long staff with an ax attached to the top. When Skeletor travelled back into the past and disrupted the peace between the Snake Clan and the Ape Clan led by Ollo, she confronted him, calling him Ghost-Face.

She was distrustful of He-Man and his allies when they followed Skeletor into the past and she confronted them in the ancient Evergreen Forest. Although Zilora and her men spoke an ancient language unfamiliar to the men of the future, Orko, who's magic was stronger in the past than it was in in Eternia's present, managed to cast a spell by which they could all understand each other.

During an attack on Skeletor's fortress that was still under construction, Zilora took a more active role than any of her followers, but was knocked out and taken prisoner by 'Ghost-Face', who took her to Dragosaur Isle. He-Man managed to rescue her from a cage that was put under a spell by Skeletor and together they foiled Skeletor's plan by destroying the Wheel of Infinity.

Thanks to the efforts of the Heroic Warriors, the Snake Clan and the Ape Clan set aside their differences once more.
