She could be written in as the flip side of the coin as the Goddess actually. It could be really interesting to see how they fit her in.

I always saw her as being some form of demi-goddess. Perhaps in age and power, on par with such powers as Hssss and Hordak? It would explain how she was able to defeat Ram-Man and He-Man so easily in their initial confrontation.
(and let's not forget she is one of the few who's ever been able to disarm He-Man instead of having him deflect the magic)
If she gets made, I am SOOO having a war between her and Hordak!![]()

Sorry, with that coloring, she is Gar. I just think she's clearly something more powerful since she has the all-black eyes. She seems to be a lot older than Keldor though, I would not expect them to be related. I also think it's high time we get a better name for the Gar. That sounds like some kind of Eternian racist slur.
She is a Gar. Once an extremely powerful Sorceress who became immortal.
Who thinks they will make her Skeletor's mother? I hope not!

If she's a Gar, then I'm an Adreenid! Blue skin does not a Gar make.
I see her as being to Eternia what Lilith is to us. Perhaps she's an ancient enemy of Grayskull or Hssss, one of whom managed to seal her away in the House of Darkness since they couldn't destroy her?
Heck, let ME write her bio!

With Hordak and Hsss already coming from non-Eternian worlds, the Masters need another homespun adversary. I would like to see them do something akin to what I wrote in my "Dark Legacies" story:
Shokoti was a powerful Gar sorceress, and member of the Council of Wisdom (or Elders)--but in reality her only allegiance was to herself, and she betrayed Grayskull et al. to the Horde (or Snake Men). As punishment, the Cosmic Enforcers locked her away in her pyramid for a few centuries. Later, Shokoti used her magic to seduce Miro, who freed her and...well, Keldor came along nine months later.
Of course, that's just what I'd like to see. In reality, I'll happily take her however they wanna give her to us.![]()

There are some Filmation women (other than Shadow Weaver) that we really need in MOTUC :
- Scorpia
- Octavia
- SHOKOTI
- Kittrina
And this is the bare minimum !
So YES, please bring Shokoti into plastic form soon ! She's a character fans have waited for for 30 years !![]()
I'd like an articulated version of THIS in MOTUC. Like, NOW:
(I wouldn't mind her one-eyed monster as a beast, either)

Why does her being of the same race/species as Keldor and several other light-blue-skinned powerful magician characters prevent her from being all those things you listed as well? What's the stigma?
Also, if you resemble an Andreenid as much as she resembles a Gar, I'd like to be your agent.
He actually got it right, riiiight at the end of the show, unintentionally though.
I like her look, her aura and as was said, she actually seemed a halfway competent evil-doer - rare in a Filmation cartoon. She seemed genuinely creepy.
Lord Maske, although secondary to Shokoti, also looks interesting...
She is just wanna of those characters that just sticks with you throughout the filmation series, hoping to see again,her and Masque. She seems very powerful, and is more hellbent on trying to create uncontrolled chaos then skelator, kingg hiss and Hordak combined. It would be great if they made her an ally of the Fighting Foe men from Preternia, ancient enemy of Vikor or something. There is so much they can do with her history because they have no real background story on her. If we ever do get a figure, she should come with skull headed staff in lieu of her cyrstal ball in the epsiode.
I wish there was a way we could get a figure of Shokoti closer to Baena's painting or this redesign by Buffalo-Bill-Man:
Shokoti is probably my favorite Filmation-only character (favorite Filmation villain definitely) but I fear she's going to suffer if the 4H go for a slavish interpretation with animation-cel level of (non)detail. It worked for Adora, but Shokoti deserves the same level of ornate detail as Teela.

Shokoti is second on my Filmation want list after Octavia. I have no doubt that the 4H will add some detail to Shokoti, her outfit was very simple. I really like the skirt seen in the photo posted by Met-Hild.

Shakoti has been TM'd by Mattel. Unfortunately, Shokoti is how it was spelled in the cartoon and there are no TM's for Shokoti (so, it's available). Anyway, TheFallen had the idea Mattel could use Shakoti to be Shokoti's mother. I said the statue could be this Shakoti, since she wears a dress and helmet (no hair showing), unlike Shokoti. Here are pics I screen captured:
For accessories, Shokoti could come with a Darkling (think, living bagpipe monster) and her crystal ball skull!
