Biography

In the Seventh Age of the Realm, Major Ruin's Elemental Sprite was located in the midst of a barren wasteland, where vegetation was scarce and water in short supply. Major Ruin's elemental powers ensured that cliffs stood firm against the tides and mountains pointed towards the heavens, keeping the towns and people who made their homes on these rocky peaks free from avalanches and other disasters. In battle, Major Ruin was able to pass through fire unscathed to reach his enemies-a common tactic of the Elves, who would trap their enemies in a circle of flame and use Major Ruin to deliver the finishing blow.^[1]

History and Development

In the Game

Major Ruin is rescued from a Shadow Troll upon entering Mountain Falls. Major Ruin is mostly used for maneuvering about various ramps and parts of the landscape. He's also used to knock Bomb Flowers into Coralis, and to knock Thyra's largest eye off of the battle field.

Abilities

• Boulder Rush - Holding right trigger sends Major Ruin spiraling forward at a high speed allowing him to cross gaps and roll up ramps.
• Rock Hop - The Major performs a small jump when the left trigger is held.
• Razor-back - Spikes emerge from Major Ruin's shell, dealing damage to whatever they touch. Enemies can become stuck to them.
• Cyclone Spin - Major Ruin spins rapidly and erratically when the left and right triggers are held.
• Hyper Cyclone Spin - Same as the Cyclone Spin, but easier to control.

In the Manga

Major Ruin and his mecha form both appear in the manga. Alongside Chilla, and Pummel Weed, the trio were a part of the assault on Thorn's Castle similar to the beginning of the game.
