The Horned King is the main antagonist of Disney's 1985 animated feature film The Black Cauldron. He is a powerful demonic being who sought to find the Black Cauldron and use its power to unleash an army of deathless warriors called the Cauldron Born. The Horned King has a vast army under him, which includes the troll-like Creeper, the hunters of Annuvin, the draconic Gwythaints, and, obviously, the Cauldron Born.
