Sagitar - Heroic Galloping Battle Beast Real Name: Tharkus
Sagitar is a member of the Horse Lords of Equinos. He can turn from a centaur-like being to a four-armed humanoid. Sagitar was saved from a life of slavery in the Denebrian mines by He-Man. In return for his freedom, he carries He-Man into battle on his back and uses his palomite running knuckles for galloping or serving up super knuckle sandwiches for Mutants. Although some of the Galactic Guardians don't like his beastly manners they are glad to have this four-armed giant on their side in battle.
Sagitar first met the Galactic Guardians in the episode Sword & Staff, when a crystal-powered Quakke was attacking a bar in Gorn City, Denebria, where they were. Sagitar was the only one able to stop Quakke. Sagitar's archnemesis is Staghorn. They have a years-long personal rivalry. Staghorn refers to Sagitar's people as peace-loving cowards.The people of his race must return sometimes to Equinos for a ritual known as the Running of the Herd, when they gallop around the planet to restore their life sources. If they don't do it, they die. Sagitar has a girlfriend named Besquita. |
