Horned King

The Horned King was the main villain in The Black Cauldron voiced by John Hurt. The main villain was originally to be Arawn, however, the animators felt people would like him better since he had horns (such as Maleficent and Chernabog). His main plan in the movie was to find the Black Cauldren and use it's power to unlease an army of deathless Cauldron Born. He tries many means to find the cauldron such as Eilonwy's bauble and Taran's oracular pig, Hen Wen. After the Horned King unleases his army of Cauldron Born, Gurgi flings himself into the cauldron to stop the army. After facing off against Taran, he is sucked into the cauldron and presumably perishes. The Horned King has a vast army at his disposal including the troll-like Creeper, the Huntsmen of Annuvin, the dragon-like Gwythaints, and of course his Cauldron Born.
