You took the words right out of my mouth. Good memory. Except, it wasn't
Scorpina it was Pythona. Golobulus was the one who was half snake, during
most of the movie he rides in a big ball shaped pod, but at the end when he
is fighting Falcon, he drops out of his pod and has a snake body. Also, He
Man had some snaked bodied baddies too. King Hiss led his evil snake men
against He Man and Skeletor. Word.
