Overview

Early story (From Character Bio)

Character Bio

The characters' biographies were leaked (with other promotional material such as official renders, condensed story and gameplay footage) on the website RareThief in September 2012. All bios are dated for the year 2000.

It’s worth mentioning though, not all character’s information and trivia are present in the December 1, 2000 prototype. These were probably written pretty early on in the development of the game to summarize each character, but were not really changed after the game’s story underwent many changes and evolutions. (i.e : Krystal's backstory not being mentioned except that she was adopted by Randorn or Krystal’s crush on Sabre even though they are siblings.)

Questions / Answers

📚 This questions and answers section is directly from Scale's character biography from RareThief's blog.

  • Personality
    As an off shoot of the HookClaw Tribe the Sharpclaw, over the years, have slowly developed a slightly more civilized behavior (although their under developed brains somehow contradict this!)
  • Role in game
    Led by the evil dictator General Scales, the grunting SharpClaws will be found at numerous locations throughtout the game. Their main form of attack will be single club although they will be found stationed at large gun placements and even rolling gunpowder barrels down a hill at you!

Separate some important voice lines and transcript them as well. Voice lines that could be put here: "Ruler, Tryrant, and Dictator of the SharpClaw Tribe," His assault on Queen CloudRunner, his dialogue with Krystal in the Desert Force Point Temple, and the spellstone cutscene in the Desert Force Point Temple

Screenshots in-game

Very little has changed about Scales between known builds of the game, and even from his Starfox Adventures counterpart.

Scales, from one of the first cutscenes, on his ship. In the second image, Princess Kyte can be seen captured in a cage.

Scales, falling off The Galleon in an older build, vs teleporting away in the December 2001 build

Scales taking The Galleon back in Warlock Mountain. Notably, this custscene was not in the Press Video Build, and he merely just stood on the galleon as it flew away in real time.

Early menu screens, featuring the previously shown art of scales, from both a Late 2000s build and the December 2001 build. The menus seem to be using a very similar style.

Endgame story (Spoiler)

🙈 The next section will spoil the story end of Dinosaur Planet, read at your own risks!
