Catra is a major antagonist in the Masters of the Universe franchise, appearing as the main antagonist of the Princess of Power toyline and one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Shadow Weaver) of the 1985 cartoon series She-Ra: Princess of Power.
She is the Force-Captain of Hordak's Evil Horde (a position previously held by Adora before her defection), who assists the former in his plans to conquer Etheria and destroy the Great Rebellion; although she has occasionally shown a desire to overthrow him and rule Etheria for herself. She is known for her use of a magical mask which allows her to take the form of a powerful purple panther.
She was voiced by Melendy Britt, who also voiced Adora/She-Ra and several other characters in the series.
Personality[]
The deliciously comical feline voice bestowed upon the character by Melendy Britt belied Catra's extremely cruel and calculating ways. The only characters that Catra evinced any tenderness towards were her pet lion Clawdee and the handsome pirate Sea Hawk, although the latter evoked Catra's wrath when he paired with Adora. The vain feline Force Captain had no regard or concern for even her fellow members of the Evil Horde, although Entrapta seemed to come as close to being a friend of Catra's as anyone could get.
Biography[]
She-Ra: Princess of Power[]
Catra first appears in He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret Of The Sword as a minor antagonist. Its most important scene is when it takes its feline form to fight against the Rebellion. She tries to attack He-Man, only to get knocked down by Cringer and lose her mask in the process before running away from the tiger.
Following her first appearance, she is a regular villain in the Filmation animated series She-Ra: Princess of Power.

Trivia[]
- Originally, Catra was not affiliated with the Horde at all, ruling over the Fright Zone and engaging in her own schemes to destroy She-Ra and conquer Etheria in the Princess of Power toyline. However, when the Princess of Power cartoon was in development, Hordak was chosen to be the main antagonist (due to not appearing in the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon), resulting in Catra serving under him as part of the Horde.
- Comic Book Resources listed Catra in He-Man: Eternia’s 15 Mightiest Villains.
- Catra's original animation model was designed by Dale Hendrickson, based on prototypes for the Mattel action figure in the Princess of Power line and various concepts from the Filmation character design department.
