Zok the Laser-Ray Dragon! 
Whatever Zok could do in the original script, the animators changed it to "Fires lasers out of every hole. And fuck it, his tail too." If there was ever a writer that could come up with a reasonable challenge for a dragon whose leading export is laser, he certainly did not write for
The Herculoids.
Zandor, the Human! Zandor is the leader of the Herculoids, but it's never made clear why they need one. They're a group of unemployed monsters who do jack shit until something comes from space and attacks them. And when that happens, Zandor's brilliant plan is to split everyone up into absurd teams. "There is nearby danger! Zok, Igoo, Tundro-- you shall stay here with Gloop and Gleep and make your own puppets from the provided materials! I will take the little boy and these blindfolds to investigate the noises coming from the pit of vampire traps!" Sometimes, when Zandor is traveling through the jungle, he does this fucking awesome thing with vines.

It takes a miracle for anything to have a chance against the Herculoids, and Zandor's idiocy is that miracle. To make matters worse, he delivers his insane orders with a phony, over-enunciated way of talking. He sounds like someone making fun of white people. I think he's probably insecure about being the dumbest Herculoid when two of them are single-cell organisms.
