The Horned King is the main antagonist of Disney's 1985 feature film The Black Cauldron. He is voiced by John Hurt. His main plan in the movie was to find the Black Cauldron and use it's power to unleash an army of deathless warriors dubbed as Cauldron Born. 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. The Horned King is a skeletal creature with green, rotting flesh and two gnarled horns from which he earns his name.
