Rulons

Dino-Riders is an American animated television series that first aired in 1988. Only fourteen episodes were produced, three of which were produced on VHS for the United States.

The series focuses on the battle between the Valorians and Rulons on prehistoric Earth. The Valorians were a superhuman race, while the Rulons comprised several types of humanoid animals. Both races came from the future but were transported back in time to the age of dinosaurs. Once on Earth, the Valorians befriended dinosaurs, while the Rulons brainwashed them.

Ownership of the series passed to Disney in 2001 when Disney acquired Fox Kids Worldwide, which also includes Marvel Productions.

The Valorians are a species of peaceful humanoids who live on the planet Valoria until it is invaded by the predatory Rulons. A group of Valorians led by Questar attempt to escape the Rulon invasion using a spaceship equipped with the "Space Time Energy Projector" (S.T.E.P.), which malfunctions and transports them to Earth during the prehistoric era. Unknown to them, the Rulon flagship, the Dreadlock is also sent back through time.
