The dragon's optic nerves were burned out years ago. It "sees" using sonar. <br /><br />PS the picture that you posted is now my wallpaper. Thanks

I don't think they ever felt the need to "flesh out" the character for the cartoon.<br /><br /><img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>

The laser beams came out of his eyes.<br /><br />Think about it.<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

You're making an assumption. Plus it's a cartoon. <br /><br />If typical laws and logic applied then lasers couldn't be shot out of his eyes in the first place.

One could imagine a beam-splitter type of arrangement, and that Zoks eye function worked in a different band than the energy beams that he shot.<br /><br />I do not think they were "laser beams" per se, they do not have the look and feel of lasers. More like focused cosmic energy.

As I recall, Zok was billed as the 'Laser Ray Dragon'.<br /><br />Tip of his tail could generate a beam, too.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

Why did Gloop and Gleep need seperate identities? As I recall, they could be subdivided and then could regroup individually, why not as a pair too?<br /><br />And what the Hell were they?<br /><br /><br />"Formless, shapeless wonders " springs to mind, or was that some other cartoon character?<br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

I loved the Herculoids. But let's face it. Space Ghost owned them. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <em>"2012.. Year of the Dragon!! Get on the Dragon Wagon!".</em> </div>
