For Cringer the band see Cringer (band) . Battle Cat/'''Cringer''' is the large green cat that He-Man fights alongside in the fictional Masters Of The Universe cartoons, comics, and toyline. BASICS Battle Cat is normally known as Cringer, the cowardly, lazy, overeating Feline companion of Prince Adam . He tends to spend most of his time as Cringer sleeping, eating, and avoiding responsibility, as well as hiding at the slightest sign of trouble or danger. He can talk, although no reason is ever really given for this ability, and he is treated as if speaking is completely normal. His species is never given an explicit name and it is unclear how many others like him there are. When Prince Adam transforms in to He-Man , he then holds his sword out and fires an energy beam at Cringer, transforming him into Battle Cat. When he becomes Battle Cat, he grows to about twice his size, and is outfitted in red armor that covers his head, and back, with a saddle mounted on it for riding. As Battle Cat, he is brave, fearless, and powerful. His voice changes significantly, and he talks with a growl, as opposed to his whimpering voice that is heard when he is Cringer. Cringer generally dislikes becoming Battle Cat, but he goes along with it anyway. He largely serves as a steed for He-Man, but he is known for mixing it up with the villains as well. Although he spoke in the 1980s cartoon series He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe by Filmation , in the 2002 update of the series by Mike Young Productions his character was completely mute and was treated as more of a vehicle than a character, which caused a small controversy among fans. He was a somewhat camp comic character in the original 1980's cartoon, but this was omitted in the newer version. APPEARANCE Battle Cat is obviously modeled after a Tiger , and as Cringer he seems to be roughly the same size as an average tiger. As Battle Cat, he is large enough for He-Man to comfortably ride him. His fur is green, with occasional white/light gray highlights around his mouth and bright yellow stripes. MISC.
