Ptolemaic Shamans

The Ptolemaic Shamans are the leaders of the Ptolemaic Army, possessing numerous supernatural abilities. Their goal is to summon the Evil Spirit Incarnate to our world. They serve as the main antagonists of the video game, Metal Slug 5.

History
They were apparently formed when a Native picked up a white mask and put it on, causing him to be struck by lightning.

Types

 * Black Shamans - Black Shamans are the lowest ranked shamans, serving as soldiers. They are seen stationed at an underwater facility in Mission 4, before retreating.
 * Red Shamans - Higher ranked shamans who serve as officers. A red shaman appears several times throughout the game, fleeing when the player comes near before eventually confronting the player in stage 5.
 * Purple Shamans - Shamans ranked higher than red ones. They are seen stationed in the city before fighting the player in the tower.
 * Green Shamans - The highest ranked shamans who appear only in the tower.
 * Ptolemaios - An unused boss who was apparently the Native who got struck by lightning in the first level. He pilots a giant flying tower, and was originally intended to be the final boss of the game before being replaced by Evil Spirit Incarnate.
