The premise

BeastMaster chronicles the adventures of Dar, the last surviving male of the storied Sula tribe, who is blessed with the ability to communicate telepathically with the animals of his ancient world. Also endowed with the strength, courage and fighting skills of a great warrior, he uses his gifts to defend all living creatures oppressed by the forces of evil.

Horror Vault's take

Set in a mythic ancient world, BeastMaster follows Dar, sole surviving male of the Sula tribe, who carries a rare and powerful gift — the ability to speak telepathically with animals. Armed with warrior skills and a fierce moral compass, he roams a dangerous landscape defending the weak and hunted from the forces of darkness. Each episode brings new threats, strange creatures, and supernatural encounters as Dar's bond with his animal companions proves as vital as any sword. It's pulpy, sword-and-sorcery adventure with a wild-kingdom twist.
