The destruction forces the rag-tag group—Lion-O, Tygra, Cheetara, and the comic relief Snarf—to flee into a hostile, post-apocalyptic wasteland. Option 1: Sales / Listing Description (e
The story begins in the kingdom of Thundera, where young Prince Lion-O is often at odds with his father, King Claudus, and his brother, Tygra, due to his fascination with ancient "technology". Clean cover with minimal scuffs
In the premiere, the kingdom of Thundera is at its zenith on Third Earth, though its society is built on a rigid rejection of "mythical" technology and a distrust of other species like the Lizardfolk.
