 |
81.1 | 13 | Tricky is the Prince and an only child of the royal [[Earthwalker]] family. He's typically hungry and can be stubborn at times, but he a great aid to [[Sabre]] on their adventure. |

| 15 | = Early Story (From Character Bio) = | ||
| 16 | |||
| |
57.1 | 17 | Tricky's involvement in the adventure starts on a quite day in the [[EarthWalker Temple>>EarthWalker Temple]] not too long ago. His father, the [[King EarthWalker>>King EarthWalker]], was unhappy with Tricky's behavior on the morning in question and had sent him out of the main Temple to think about his actions. Tricky sulked around the outside of the temple for of hours generally thinking about unfairly he thought he was being treated. |

38.3 | 19 | "Maybe I could run away! That would show them." |
| |
17.1 | 20 | |
| |
57.1 | 21 | Although deep down he knew that he couldn't face the prospect of missing his lunch! What happened next was to completely take the youngster by surprise and made him wish he hadn't thought about running away! A large shadow moved overhead, Tricky looked up to see the underside of what looked like a huge metal bird. This was in fact one of [[General Scale's>>General Scales]] flying dragon ships. Coming to halt above him, a green beam of light suddenly lit the whole area. As the tractor beam pulled Tricky up towards the ship he caught a glimpse of his father out of the Temple below. It was the last time he would see him... The Dragon Ship takes Tricky to the top of Ice Mountain where is lowered down to the waiting SharpClaws. They march him into a prison and the huge wooden door slams shut behind him! |

| |
31.4 | 64 | * Tricky's Commands |
| |
31.5 | 65 | ** Heel - He will come running back to you whenever you call, though if there's food involved, you may have to call him twice! |
| 66 | ** Find - Use this and he can dig into the ground to find objects and can also dig tunnels for you to crawl through! | ||
| 67 | ** Flame Use to set fire to the environment and any baddies that get in the way. | ||
| 68 | ** Play - Rolls on his belly and causes even the nastiest to GuardClaw to want to tickle him! | ||
| 69 | ** Distract - Rolls on his belly and causes even the nastiest to GuardClaw to want to tickle him! | ||
