The Snakemen (2002) Ĭringer (left) and Battle Cat (right) in the 2002 remake of the series.Ĭringer is somewhat of a pet to Adam. This version of Battle Cat can be seen with He-Man in a MetLife commercial that aired in 2012. Using Battle Cat, he was able to confine the beast and save the endangered team. He-Man was surprised to see the change in the usually timid cat, but remembered the Sorceress' words from when he was a child he then received another message, telling him Battle Cat was now his partner. A beam shot from the sword and struck Cringer, which made him grow in size and don his red armor for the first time. However, as he was doing so he accidentally pointed the sword at Cringer, who cowered in fear as Adam's sword was still energized. A now-transformed He-Man tried to reassure Cringer that he was still the same person, just with superpowers.
Unbeknownst to him, Cringer was watching the entire transformation and ran away to hide. They inadvertently broke open a door releasing a monster, and to attempt to stop the monster Adam transformed into He-Man. This all changed at an archaeological dig that Adam and Teela went on with Man-At-Arms, with Cringer in tow because he did not want to leave Adam's side. Years passed, and after Adam was given the ability to become He-Man, he usually performed the transformation out of sight of Cringer who, even though he had grown to normal tiger size, was still afraid of just about everything. The Sorceress appeared and told Adam that Cringer might bring him embarrassment now, but in the future he would be useful. Although Adam defended his pet, he agreed with calling him Cringer because it was appropriate for the little cat as he was afraid of his own shadow. However the kitten was scared easily, and he and Adam were often teased by Teela and the other children in Eternia, who took to calling him a "cringer" because of his fear causing him to cringe at everything he saw. After it became well, Adam adopted the kitten as his pet. Adam took the kitten back to the palace where it was tended to by Man-At-Arms. Concerned that the sabrecat might attack the smaller cat, Adam was able to scare the sabrecat away by using a manticore call and headed to the bush where he discovered a small green tiger cub who had been abandoned. The episode recounts that Adam, while on a few days exploring the jungle as a boy, heard a kitten whining in a bush and a sabrecat approaching. The story of Cringer/Battle Cat's past is covered in the episode "Battle Cat". Battle Cat also has a love interest in the episode "The Cat And The Spider": Kittrina, a warrior of the cat-people.Ĭringer as an abandoned kitten in the episode "Battle Cat", which narrated his back story and how he was eventually adopted by Prince Adam. He largely serves as a mount for He-Man, but is known for fighting with villains as well. He also gains a suit of red armor, which includes a saddle for He-Man to ride on. He is twice the size of Cringer, speaks with a growl, and has a mighty roar that can be heard from afar. Cringer hates the transformation, but he goes along with it out of loyalty to Adam.īattle Cat is Cringer’s polar opposite. When Prince Adam transforms into He-Man, he uses the Power Sword to shoot an energy beam at Cringer so he can become Battle Cat. It is unclear how many others are like him. In the episode "Teela's Quest", Queen Marlena says to Adam in regards to the planet Earth, "There are no talking green tigers on Earth." It is not known if her referring to Cringer as a tiger means he is called a tiger on Eternia, or if she is simply using it as a comparison, but in the episode "A Beastly Sideshow", Evil-Lyn also refers to Cringer as a tiger, and in the episode "House of Shokoti", a boy is surprised that he is "a talking tiger".
He has the appearance of a green and yellow-striped tiger. He can talk, although no reason is ever given for this ability. He sleeps most of the day, overeats, and gets scared very easily. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983-1985) Ĭringer, despite being a large cat, displays characteristics more consistent with a domestic house cat.
