MU73 SC92 ORIGIN OF THE SORCERESS

Here we have one of the most recognizable scene from the episode and all the series ;^) ..I often see this one on varoius MU forums when talking about "the 3 horde invaders".
In this scene the 3 invaders are deciding the fate of Eternia and to be precise Rachney propose to "invade in force!" (of course before being stopped by Morgoth :D )
In the episode the 3 characters are never named but in the drawing of this scene we can discover their names: Rachney (the spider-like one, with mustache), Repta (the reptile) and Ferros (the feline one).
