Filmation
Beast Man was the henchman most often at Skeletor's side; he had the power to telepathically control most of the beasts and animals on Eternia. While he did possess a certain cunning, his talents were often unappreciated by Skeletor, who frequently made Beast Man the main object of his wrath; frequently blaming him when a scheme failed. Beast Man resented being bossed around by Skeletor, but lacked the courage to stand up to him. Over time, he became more bumbling and comedic.
One one occasion, Beast Man was banished from Snake Mountain by Skeletor, who had grown weary of his constant failures. A bitter Beast Man, feeling useless without the power of Snake Mountain behind him, set out to prove his worth by capturing King Randor on his own and bringing him to Snake Mountain. Although he succeeded in capturing the king, when He-Man came to the rescue he was subjected to Skeletor's wrath one more time and admitted back into his ranks purely because Skeletor needed someone on which to vent his fury. Despite this, Beast Man admitted it was "nice to be home."
Beast Man used Shadow Beast's as his primary henchmen, as they followed his orders without the need for mind control. His ability to control animals was not absolute, however. For instance, he could not control Cringer, Battle Cat, or Panthor. Beast Man was often teamed up with Trap Jaw, with the two of them occasionally striking out on their own.
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
Beast Man was a savage creature from the Berserker Islands. When Keldor travelled to the islands looking to recruit him, Beast Man initially tried to kill and eat him, using his great strength to best him in combat. Keldor and Beast Man ultimately worked together, and Keldor saved Beast Man's life. Following this, Beast Man swore loyalty to Keldor and became his most devoted warrior. Beast Man accompanied Keldor in his attack on the Hall of Wisdom. When Keldor threw a vial of acid at Captain Randor, Randor deflected it back at him, grievously wounding him. Beast Man, seeing this occur, quickly intervented and saved Keldor before he could be arrested by Randor, swooping in on a Griffin and flying him to safety. Beast Man remained hidden in the Dark Hemisphere for years thereafter, before Skeletor finally found a way to break through the Mystic Wall.
Revelation
Beast Man was was seen driving a Bashasaurus into battle when Skeletor's army of Skelcons launched a large scale attack on Castle Grayskull. Following Skeletor's supposed death and magic leaving Eternia, Beast Man became much more feral, discarding his usual red armour. He swore to protect Evil-Lyn with his life and followed her everywhere she went, often keeping a fair distance and blending into the background so as not to alert anyone else to his presence

R'Qazz was a hunter who caught wild animals and forced them to battle in his pits. Many years ago, he captured four tigers from the Tiger Tribe, including Katuna, Prowler, and Bash. When one of them refused to fight for him, R'Qazz removed the tiger's claws and began wearing them as trophies himself. He was responsible for giving this tiger the mocking name Cringer.
