Biography[]
After liberating the Simbas on planet M'Digbo by slaying Kwongo and taking the first piece of the Medallion of Power in his possession, Sam is sent to the planet Magnor to claim the second piece from the Pixie tribe. Thanks to the well-hidden location of their village the medallion piece was still in their possession, but it was only a matter of time until Mental's forces would find it. Unfortunately the Great Sirian Council couldn't teleport Sam directly into the village as even they didn't know where it was. Leaving him with a warning about a large creature Mental left to look for the medallion, they sent him into Mental's swamp outpost.
Sam shot his way through the outpost, eventually finding a Zixie tribesman stuck in the swamp waters. Sam tried to help him, only to get stuck himself and both of them having to call for help. A patrol of Mental's minions found and captured them, but were ambushed by a group of Zixies that freed them and took Sam back to their village Branchester. The leader of the village said that Mental has been looking for Branchester ever since the Great Sirian Council assigned them the task of protecting the medallion piece, but is confident that they are too well hidden to ever be found. Right as he finished his sentence, Mental's troops arrived and attacked the village, likely having followed Sam there.
Sam defended the village, but just before he could secure the medallion piece Zumzum arrived and snatched it away. The Zixie leader remained calm, knowing where Zumzum left to and led Sam to a forest where everything was gigantic. Eventually Sam got tired of looking for it and used a phone booth to call Bosses 'R' Us to order an end-of-level boss. Sure enough, Zumzum arrived immediately afterwards and engaged Sam in battle. During their fight Zumzum spawned smaller wasps to charge after Sam, who used the large objects in the arena as cover. After destroying the giant sunflowers whose nectar Zumzum drank to heal itself Sam managed to slay the beast, which crashed into the ground in a large blood splatter and allowing him to take the medallion piece.
