Ben-Gali

One of the two younger Thundereans among the trio, named after the bengal tiger but more resembling a white tiger, this warrior is a skilled blacksmith like his father before him. This talent proves valuable after the Sword of Omens is once again broken. Fast and agile like Tygra, Ben-Gali is called "brother" by him, but it is unclear if they share a true familial bond or if the greeting is merely meant as a term of endearment. (Given that the new ThunderCats repeatedly call the originals "Nobles" while referring to themselves as "mere Thundereans," it seems unlikely that there is any family relationship between the two.) Another possibility is that because they are both tigers, the Ben-Gal clan may be cousins to the Tygra clan, even though one is considered nobility while the other is not. In combat, Ben-Gali wields a weapon called the Hammer of Thundera. It can shoot energy blasts, and carries smoke pellets in its handle, to allow him to cause confusion and provide cover for withdrawal from a fight.
