| Inhumanoids | comment |
Inhumanoids was a 13-episode Western Animation show by Sunbow Entertainment that aired in 1986. Like most '80s cartoons, it was based on an accompanying toyline, which was made by Hasbro.The main story focuses on a group of scientists called the Earth Corps, who discover an enormous monster, D'Compose, encased in amber in the Big Sur. Unknown to the Corps, D'Compose is one of a race of horrors known as the Inhumanoids, who were sealed under the Earth long ago. Another of these eldritch abominations, Tendril, is discovered and freed by a Corrupt Corporate Executive, and Tendril in turn frees D'Compose. Joining with their leader Metlar, the Inhumanoids are again a menace to the world. With the help of the Mutores, the elemental beings who imprisoned the Inhumanoids in the first place, the Earth Corps step up to put down the monsters again.The show in its day had a lot of Family-Unfriendly Violence and remains a great source of scares. More importantly, it was an unusual kids' show for its use of good subplots, strong pacing and suspense. Unfortunately, the toy line failed due to the major gimmick of the monster figures' sheer size (14", almost as big as the kids in the ads!) making them too expensive for many parents to buy, and so the show lasted only thirteen episodes.They seemed to be on their way to debuting in the Hasbro Comic Universe, as hinted in issues and interviews with the creators of G.I. Joe (2016), but it turned out to be other creatures called the "Fatal Fluffies" (see the Trivia page for why). | |

Treants: The Redwoods are a race of these who helped bring down the Inhumanoids ages ago. They give some information to the Earth Corps, but make it clear that since humanity caused the return of the Inhumanoids, it's their problem, until convinced otherwise. | |

Love Potion: Episode 11, "Primal Passions", is about Earth Corps accidentally applying this to the Inhumanoids. D'Compose falls in love with Sandra Shore and tracks her down to turn her once again into an undead monster, Tendril falls in love with a robotic copy of himself being used for a movie, and Metlar falls in love with the Statue of Liberty! | |

Missing Steps Plan | |
| Inhumanoids / int_30e6200f | comment |
Missing Steps Plan: Blackthorne learned about the Inhumanoids and then decided to set them free so he could Take Over the World. But it seems to have somewhat escaped his thought process that beings powerful enough to terrorize humanity into submission would be correspondingly difficult to control. He rarely has much of a good reason why they should treat this "flesh slug" any differently than all the other ones they want to wipe out once they've gotten what use they can out of him. Some of his later plots like freeing Gagoyle and Sslither are just so he can have someone to protect him from the various people and monsters he's pissed off through a string of shortsighted judgements. | |

Senator Masterson really isn't that much better. The first time we see him is when he's taking a bribe from Blackthorne to hand over the blueprints of Earth Corps' Powered Armor and revoke their funding. When, let's remember, subterranean monsters bent on the extermination of humanity have already appeared with it being heavily implied the worst is yet to come. What's he going to spend the money on after Metlar purges the surface world in fire? | |

The two times Sandra is turned into a monster by D'Compose, Blackthorne reacts in horror, even shouting "I never meant--!" the first time he sees this—except minutes later Blackthorne seems to completely forget about her and leaves her to her fate while trying to kill the heroes. A later episode even has him try and kill her by downing the plane she's in with the heroes. | |

Comic-Book Adaptation | |
| Inhumanoids / int_7c4f6612 | comment |
Comic-Book Adaptation: The animated series received a comic book tie-in by Star Comics a month after the end of its run (based on the early episodes of the show). The comic lasted four issues and ended on a cliffhanger where Sandra Shore was zombified by D'Compose, probably due to the somewhat abrupt cancellation of the show. | |

Earth Corps tries to stop this after they run the numbers and realize the explosion would be so powerful it would blow the entire planet to smithereens. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Inhumanoids / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Severing Tendril's tentacles caused their pieces to grow into new Tendril creatures, yet what became of the umpteen Tendril-clones spawned in this manner was rarely addressed. Apparently they get re-absorbed by the main Tendril or they die off-screen like uprooted plants. In the Star Comics mini-series, Metlar tells Tendril that his clones will no longer be necessary, and then Tendril causes them to decay away. Also when Blackthorn frees Ssslither, the original ruler of the Inhumanoids to have a powerful ally against...pretty much everybody by that point in the show. After Ssslither get his butt kicked by Metlar, he just sort of wanders away. And nobody ever thinks anything of it. | |

Super Strength: Everyone who isn't a human bystander has it on varying scale. The Earth Corps in their Power Armor are perhaps the weakest of the lot but still strong enough to do superhuman feats of strength, then there's the human-sized minions of D'Compose and Metlar who are strong enough to kill a mutore one on one if they get the drop on them, the mutores in turn are powerful enough to overcome D'Compose and Tendril if they rush them in small numbers, the large minions of D'Compose and Metlar who border on being on the Inhumanoids level and the mightiest are the Inhumanoids themselves with Metlar by far the strongest. | |

Too Dumb to Live: Blackthorne, really; why would you free Tendril in the first place? To confirm that Metlar lives? Okay, but... just what in the world would you want to enslave him for in the first place? Just what is that supposed to do that will benefit you? Then you make — and break — an alliance with Nightcrawler and D'Compose, and then you run off and reawaken Sslither. Senator Masterson really isn't that much better. The first time we see him is when he's taking a bribe from Blackthorne to hand over the blueprints of Earth Corps' Powered Armor and revoke their funding. When, let's remember, subterranean monsters bent on the extermination of humanity have already appeared with it being heavily implied the worst is yet to come. What's he going to spend the money on after Metlar purges the surface world in fire? | |

Action Figure File Card | |
| Inhumanoids / int_c91db2eb | comment |
Metlar is also described on his Action Figure File Card as having a weakness against water (he would rust), although the closest we ever get to seeing it is a scene where he leaps out of the way of an incoming flood. | |

Magic Pants | |
| Inhumanoids / int_c949edd4 | comment |
Magic Pants: Being infected by D'Compose and turned into a thirty-foot tall zombie does destroy Sandra's armor in the process, but when cured, there is, "miraculously", enough of her clothing left to cover her. | |

Corrupt Corporate Executive: Blackthorne Shore, who deliberately brought back the Inhumanoids in the hopes of controlling them, and had a senator in his pocket defund the Earth Corps so they couldn't stop him from awakening Metlar. | |

Animesque: Coincidentally, the animation style of Inhumanoids has much in common with '80s anime, compared to most other cartoons made in the US at the time, even Sunbow's other shows. | |

Standard Female Grab Area | |
| Inhumanoids / int_e192c0a7 | comment |
Standard Female Grab Area: Averted. Sandra Shore is grabbed by her brother's security goons and manages to fight them off even after one of them has made contact with her forearm. They're really not very good goons. | |

Family-Friendly Firearms | |
| Inhumanoids / int_e466ae41 | comment |
Family-Friendly Firearms: Lasers are everywhere. Even the police have them — shooting out of .38 revolvers! Too bad the lasers don't do much except for the laser cannon on the Earth Corps vehicle (that one was strong enough to take a limb off Tendril). Makes a bit more sense than in other cases, given that they share a universe with other shows where laser weaponry is common. | |

Never Say "Die" | |
| Inhumanoids / int_f51c5f3c | comment |
Never Say "Die": Zigzagged bizarrely. For all the horror in the original miniseries, the rule is played hard and straight ("If his friends release him, we're ended.") but later episodes, while paradoxically becoming lighter, seemed to scrap the rule half the time ("Die, mortal flesh-slugs! Die!"). This is a weird case, in which you can't say "die", but saying "death" is A-Ok. The Inhumanoids semi-regularly refer to death as "the dark silence". | |

Cut Short: The show's comic book adaptation ended at the fourth issue with Sandra Shore being zombified by D'Compose and was cancelled before the story could continue. Likewise, the show ended with all the villains still on the loose. | |
