Tycons are a sapient insectoid species from planet Eternia which can hibernate for long periods.
Biology[]
They're bipedal insectoids with bulging eyes, white teeth, four-fingered hands and two-toed feet, and are capable of flight. They consume honey, which they steal from Andreenid hives.
Tycons emit beams from their eyes that can harmlessly put other creatures to sleep, and can block out Skeletor's magic with their bare hands. They're also immune to Kobra Khan's sleeping gas. They need to eat many times their own body weight in honey, presumably to be able to hibernate.
This species is currently endangered, previously thought to be extinct before a new batch emerged from underground cocoons.
