Morgana (The Last Sharknado: It's About Time)

Morgana was a sorcerer from Medieval Britain. A practitioner of magic, she was ideologically opposed to the genius scientist Merlin, who attempted to banish her to the Land of the Undead. She escaped however, and continued to be a thorn in his side and seek control of Excalibur. After the arrival of Fin Shepard and his time travellers, she manipulated them to gain control over a sharknado. Despite the distraction, she failed to retrieve Excalibur before Shepard did, and she was ultimately vaporised in the fiery breath of one of her own sharks.
