Introduces Sorrowful the dragon, and as such takes place before The Prisoners of Beast Island (1985), which was broadcast earlier.
Hordesman Dylamug was originally scripted to appear in this story, but was replaced by Leech in changes made to the script on November 14, 1984.
In the script, Hordak's throne room is referred to as the 'Hall of Doom'.
The original script featured a sequence in which Madame Razz attempted to cast a spell to make Sorrowful brave, but only ended up to cause flowers come out of his nose.
Cut from the original script was a piece of dialogue by Castaspella in which she asked of Sorrowful had been deflamed before allowing him to enter Mystacor.
