Stinkor (200x)

Kevin Campbell's "The Sweet Smell of Victory," which aired on April 12, 2003, opens on a burglary. Odiphus is a small, white-furred thief going through somebody's lotions and potions when he stops to watch Skeletor's Evil Warriors fight the Masters, and he talks to himself the way a fan talks about a poster: "These guys are like legends. Oh, Odiphus, what you wouldn't give to be one of them." He follows them to Snake Mountain and walks into Tri-Klops's lab to ask for a job, announcing himself in the third person, as he does throughout: "Odiphus wants to join up. Odiphus would make a great evil warrior."

Tri-Klops tells him to get lost and not to touch anything, and he touches something. The device on the bench turns out to be a stink remover, and when Odiphus meddles with the experiment the explosion turns him into a towering, masked creature trailing green vapor. His first words in the new body are a discovery: "The stink is coming from Odiphus. I am Odiphus, and I have the power of stink." Skeletor's answer is to throw him out of the mountain.

Then the stink stampedes a herd of unilopes toward the palace, and Skeletor changes his mind. He brings Odiphus back to lead a diversion against the palace at dawn, with membership of the Evil Warriors as the prize, and Odiphus can barely keep his composure: "Am I? I mean, Odiphus is listening." The attack fails because Roboto works out that the stench can be turned on its owner, but Skeletor keeps him anyway, telling the others that Odiphus, unlike them, has proved himself useful. His reply is the episode's last word on him: "Odiphus? Who's Odiphus? Call me Stinkor!" Brian Drummond voices him before the change and after it.^[2]

The next episode shows him settled in. In Larry DiTillio's "Separation," a week later, he is the one who listens to Two-Bad complain about sharing a body and points them to "Stinkor's old pal Vormus," the biggest dealer in spells and potions in the Dark Hemisphere, which gives the episode its plot. In the second season's "To Walk With Dragons," written by Dean Stefan, Skeletor takes him along to drive the dragons out of the sky with his smell, and he is happy to oblige: "Not to brag, but dragons really hate my smell." The gas is part of the fighting again a few weeks later, in the Snake Men two-parter.^[3]

Dean Stefan's "Out of the Past," first shown on November 1, 2003, gives him a childhood, and not a kind one. Asked where to attack first, he offers "My home village of Pelleezeea. They got it coming!" The Sorceress later tells the story of that village from long before, when the warlord Prahvus raided it and a young boy named Odiphus told him where the weapons were kept, then asked if he could join. The boy in the Sorceress's story asks the same thing the thief asks in Tri-Klops's lab: can Odiphus join up?

Netflix's Masters of the Universe: Revelation has a Stinkor of its own, a thief whom Teela and Andra track down for a stolen glove in "The Poisoned Chalice." The Stinkor entry covers him.
