| The Transformation of Dinosaur Planet | From Sabre to Fox McCloud | | The Evolution of Tricky | Krystal Turns Amazon | General Scales | | A Rocky Giant | The Protector of The Mines | Landscaping Changes | General Scales Resident villain and general bad guy for the game, in all iterations, is General Scales.  If one were to look at the N64 blockbuster Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, they would likely draw a comparison between Scales and Gannondorf.  For one thing, the entrance of both villains is quite similar: Scales bursts through a door and accosts Krystal, almost killing her, and Gannon rides out of a castle and assaults the unexpecting Link.  Both sequences took place during a severe rainstorm, too. Scales' changes in design are much more visual than anything else.  His texture is much more reptilian than it was in Dinosaur Planet, and his tunic went from a simple blue to what looks to be some sort of leather.  The shoulder pieces also have been enhanced with scary looking spikes, and more detail has been put into his two-hooked hand.  But the skin is really the most important feature, as it also us to realize where the name "Scales" comes from. In Dinosaur Planet, Scales looked very ghastly and ethereal due to his vivid yellow eyes, but his expressions were very limited.  Now, in addition to an enhanced blood-chilling stare (which is rather toned down, though), the reptile side of the humanoid dinosaur is far better shown; i.e. look at all those pointy teeth.  His hand also more mobile and flexible, and not so much a Freddy Krueger/Edward Scissorhands type of deal.  His helmet remains largely unaltered, though. --> Continue to "A Rocky Giant"
