Biography

Scarox

Scarox was once a Dune Crawler living in a hot desert area of the planet where Makuhero City was built.^[BA!]

Scarox was going to an oasis to search for water^[BA!] when a strange ship fell nearby his location. This attracted Scarox, so he went to investigate the crashed object. Scarox was ambushed by a Brain that latched to his head and mutated him into an anthropomorphic beetle.

Scarox and many fellow Brain-possessed members of his species attacked Makuhero City, along with other monsters transformed by the Brains, and marched along with the rest of the monsters through the streets of the city. While they scared the citizens away, many Heroes, including seven members of the Alpha 1 Team, arrived and started fighting against the possessed creatures. During the fight, Scarox and many Brain-possessed members of his species fought Daniel Rocka.^[TBW] Scarox was eventually freed from his Brain's control by the Heroes, and returned back to his desert homeland.^{[Episode 10]}

Abilities and Traits

Before his transformation, Scarox crawls on six legs. He is peaceful and friendly. He and his kind are around as large as Rocka's normal Brain Attack form. He is tough enough to survive in his desert's hot sand.^[BA!][TBW]

After being transformed by a Brain, Scarox became hostile and bipedal, with spikes and clawed feet on his hind legs. Scarox could jump very high^{[Episode 10]} and was fast.^[TBW] After Scarox's Brain got removed, he changed back to his normal form and behavior.

Weapons

Scarox has a razor-sharp blade-like appendage on each of his four arm legs that can pierce solid rock and armor.

Due to his transformation, Scarox bore venomous green fangs that could pierce armor and deliver a potent poison. Since his mutation is undone, he no longer has these features.
