Faction: Evil Warriors
Saurod, the evil spark-shooting reptile, was released in 1987. Based on the character from the 1987 Masters of the Universe movie played by by Pons Maar, Saurod was given a dramatic action feature. By repeatedly pushing a lever on his back, sparks would come shooting out of his mouth. He came with a small black gun, and featured all new parts, including an articulated tail.
