Daimar the Demon

Orko uses his magic to bring his new friend, Daimar, from another dimension to Eternia. Little does he know is that his new friend's presence is causing trouble on Eternia. Prince Adam tells viewers to share big problems with someone who cares, rather than feeling ashamed to ask for help.

**Prince Adam:** "Well, that Daimar was really quite a fellow, wasn't he? Orko had no idea just what he was getting into with his mixed-up magic spell. But he soon found out that he'd let loose something he couldn't handle. Now, we know that in real life there aren't any magic spells or demons, but there are problems. And, just like Orko, sometimes you'll find you've got one that's too big for you to handle. At times like that, remember there are a lot of people out there who really care about you. So talk to them. Telling them what's wrong is the first step toward making things right!"

1. Behind the scenes: Script was approved January 17, 1983 and final script revision was done September 6, 1983. This is the only episode directed by Filmation co-founder Hal Sutherland, who served as Production Director on the entire series. The Dark Dimension as seen on Man-At-Arms' monitor screen was scripted to resemble the surreal art of Steve Ditko as seen in his Doctor Strange comics published by Marvel.
2. In earlier versions of the script, Trap Jaw joined Skeletor and Evil-Lyn on their journey to Grayskull.
3. Continuity: The shot of Eternos in ruins is actually a background reused from the Ancient temple ruins as seen in Colossor Awakes. The character design of the adult Daimar would be used again as Kraal in Betrayal of Stratos. The image of the Sorceress lying on the floor in her weakened state would be reused in Song of Celice. The Dark Dimension is visited in the She-Ra: Princess of Power episode Into the Dark Dimension, but at that time it appears Daimar is no longer king, as a new character, the Dark One, claims to be its master.
4. More continuity: The animation of Orko clapping his hands (with his ears missing) is used again, twice, in the episode The Search and can also be seen in Return of the Gryphon and The Shadow of Skeletor. The nighttime view of Castle Grayskull will be used again in the She-Ra: Princess of Power episode The Inspector.
5. Animation errors and goofs: The Sorceress' Book of Magic has a pink book cover. But when Skeletor is reading from it at Snake Mountain and closes the book, it's cover is white. When Teela kneels next to the Sorceress, the background segment beneath her arm is given a flesh color by mistake. This is corrected in the next close-up shot. Then a few moments later, part of the Sorceress' orange wing is missing between her arm and head. Daimar is animated to have glowing eyes. But as he grabs Skeletors vehicle, the Basher, the glowing effect is missing and pupils are visible instead. When Orko claps his hands after Skeletor is defeated, his ears are missing. When the Sorceress appears in the window of Grayskull's tower near the end, her animation cel is positioned as if walking in front of the edge of the window instead of coming from behind it.

A summoned demon named Daimar refuses to return to its dimension. He-Man must convince Daimar that the demon’s own world is worth returning to.
