Read more about Zygon at: Wikipedia Official Site: MGM Starchaser: The Legend of Orin is a 1985 animated movie. It was written by animation writer Jeffrey Scott and was originally released in 3-D by Atlantic Releasing. Starchaser was one of the first animated movies to mix traditional and computer animation. It is the only 3-D film distributed by Atlantic Releasing. Anthony De Longis played the evil Lord Zygon. The story, set millennia in our future, opens on the fictional planet Trinia, where in a network of subterranean caverns toils a population of human slaves, overseen by anthropomorphic robot known as Mine-Masters. These humans are led to believe that only their "Mine-World" exists; that above it is a hell more terrible than their present joyless lives; and that their overlord Zygon, who demands that they mine increasing numbers of Rubidimite, a volatile red crystal native to Trinia, is a messenger of their God. The titular character, Orin, is a young man dwelling under Zygon's theocracy. His most intimate friends are his younger brother Calli, who was blinded by a whiplash across the face; their aged aunt; a young woman called Élan; and her grandfather. One day Orin discovers a jeweled sword embedded in the rocks, whereupon ÉIan's grandfather sacrifices his own life to conceal it from the Mine-Masters. When Orin later takes the sword into his hands, it ascends into the air and buries itself in the cavern's floor. A projection of an old man appears from the blade, saying that above the Mine-World is a "magnificent universe" that the people may find. The blade then disappears, leaving only the hilt. Although Raimo, another miner, objects to the idea on religious grounds, Orin and Élan embark to discover the said universe. They are pursued by the Mine-Masters, from whom they escape by hiding in the automated car that brings excavated crystals to Zygon. To their surprise, they find a metallic building complex filled with advanced technology beyond the barrier of fire through which Zygon enters their world. There, they are captured by robots, and Zygon reveals that beneath the demonic mask he has hitherto shown them is the face of a human man. Zygon kills Élan, but is then distracted by Orin's sword hilt, and Orin escapes. When the robots fire on him, they strike a Rubidimite deposit, and in the resultant explosion Orin is hidden from Zygon and presumed dead.
Zygon has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
