Talk:General Scales

Complete Monster?
This guy was recently voted down on TV Tropes which I disagree with strongly. Scales as stated on the page is similar to Zant who is a CM and basically fits all the boxes that Zant does. ( Being given a power from a previously defeated entity and using it to boost his own agenda.) And like Zant all of Scales atrocities are his idea.

Here are a few of the things he does either shown on screen or at least its effects are.

1. A young survivor of a destroyed planet named Krystal recieves a distress call from Dinosaur Planet (Sauria) he ambushes her with his ship and after she boards throws her overboard (nearly to her death, thankfully she was saved by a cloudrunner).

2. After gaining power from Andross whm he was unaware of, he sends his Sharpclaw army to Krazoa palace where they slaughter most of the Earthwalker tribe and take over. He later absorbs a Krazoa Spirit and uses its power to remove the spellstones holding Dinosaur planet together, breaking it apart.

3. He locks up the King and Queen Earthwalker in order to release the fearsome Red Eye tribe in order to terrorize the earthwalkers who live around Walled City into submission

4. Scales Enslaves the Snowhorn tribe by threatening to wipe them out if they resisted after which they are forced to work in dangerous conditions in the darkice mines.

5. After capturing the Cloudrunner Fortress and imprisoning the tribe members who live there, After capturing their queen he has his men beat her to a pulp, and imprisons Fox when he tries to rescue her.

6. As Fox confronts Scales over a spellstone in the fortress, He responds by using one of his sharpclaw soldiers as a shield and throws him at Fox.

7. Turns the section of Dragon Rock into a prison camp, where his sharpclaw army experiment on various dinosaurs and turn them into savage killing machines one of which Fox had to fight for a Spell Stone.

As usual I like to talk about the heinous standard. the general's only major contenders are Andross, Pigma Denger and the Aparoid Queen, the last of whom is nothing more than a generic doomsday villain. Scales was notoriously and joyously violent, generally ax crazy and bloodthirsty, and his crimes were taken seriously at all times and not played for laughs. Even though he and his crimes were indirectly being used by Andross to revive himself the same thing could be said of Ganon and Zants relationship in twilight princess. Even worse unlike Zant who was aware of whom he had been serving, Scales was totally unaware of Andross and believed he was alone in ruling Dinosaur planet like a dictator, which in some ways makes him worst than Zant. Aside from that Scales had zero empathetic traits or redeeming qualities, even in the face of the omnicidal maniac that is Andross and the treachorous slime ball that is Pigma Dengar. Scales manages to stand out both in the game and the series.Xmike920 (talk) 13:48, March 26, 2015 (UTC)Xmike920Xmike920 (talk) 13:48, March 26, 2015 (UTC)
