Dragon Half

Character Guide Volume 2


Characters listed in order of appearance.
(PC == Prime Characteristics.)

Adol

Orange-haired, strapping young man that spends a lot of time on the beach.





Siren

A green-haired mermaid in love with Adol, and abducted by Taco.





Taco

Big red octopus in Azatodeth's employ. Tells Mink about the potion. (Taco == Octopus.) Is terrified by the carnivourous Mappy, and cooked by Mink.





Beraudo

(Blood?) Walking spiny plant that initially plans on destroying Mink, until it realizes that it is 10 times smaller than Mink. First defeated when Vena steps on it by mistake. Can defeat ladybugs with one blow.





Old woman

First appears on page 30. Does not appear later on. This old crone's name never seems to be stated anywhere, but she was once the lover of Starman. A witch, she tells Mink more about Mink's quest.





The Combat
Siva's idea was to stage a combat contest to bring the best fighters together to ultimately kill Mink. Vena decides to join in, so that she'll get the chance to destroy Mink, AND win the first prize. One side loses when the winner places on the other's forehead: a sticker with Siva's face on it.





Jackson (?)

Announcer of the big combat match. A fishman with big eyes, and an even bigger smile.





Gai

Stripe-headed warrior that fights against Saucer in the big combat match. Gai wins, because of a fluke. Rosario had given Mink a bottle of anti-constipation medicine to drink, but Mink thought was a present, and passed it on to Saucer. Dick defaults the match (spending the rest of the time sitting on a toilet.)





Mr. X

Mink's opponent in the big combat. Mr. X turns out to be Dama Ramu, resurrected and given a cyborg body. He survived the last encounter with Mink, when his sword had been shoved into his head because, as it is described: normal people have bigger brains, and since his is so much smaller, the sword missed the vital spots. He's defeated this time when his little cyborg Lassie flies in front of one of his missiles and they both blow up.





Azadeth

A triclops initally mistaken for Azatodeth. Cut in two by Dagu.





Dug Finn

Dug Finn Offspring of Azatodeth. A little guy, about 3 feet tall, with three eyes, fur, and sharp talons instead of fingers and toes. VERY fast. In the second round, he defeats Vena. In slow-mo replay, within 0.011 seconds, he pulls Vena's cheek, fondles her breast, appears from behind a pillar (waving) 40 feet back, then slices her helmet in two.





The combat, continued
In the first round, Gai beats Saucer, Mink beats Dama Ramu, Azadeth loses to Dug, and Vena beats Boo (battle not shown.)

In the second round, Dug defeats Vena (which causes Dug no end of problems when these two meet again later.) And Mink trashes Gai.

In the final round, Mink punches Dug into the surrounding moat, then uses Rufa's lightning wand to electrocute him. But, since this IS the offspring of the Great Demon Lord, Dug doesn't actually die.

On Page 115, note the crowd scene. The most recognizable character is Nayura, from Rune Masquer.





Pam

Giant lizard spider that plans to kill Mink after luring her into the caves. Turns out that Pam has a human (son? lover?) named Teddy, that steps in to save Pam from Mink, and gives Mink a bottle of Vido potion that he was planning on using to turn Pam human. Mink leaves, turning down the potion. Pam is so happy that, out of joy, she hugs Teddy to death (or damned close to it.)





Balrog

A kidnapper that tries to carry the trio off in a car. The main purpose of this guy is to get the heroes to the next castle...





Dancing King Hearterg

(Haatoerugu): Runs an odd kind of love hotel. AKA Hani (Honey). Hani had an argument with his wife 15 years earlier, and she had run into the basement to escape him. However, there was a giant armored knight that then kidnapped her, and overran the castle with monsters. One of the monsters is a snake woman that Mink defeats. This snake falls in love with Mink, and tells her about the Queen's fate (she has been made the mistress of the knight.) Turns out that the knight is actually just a large suit of armor, being run by a midget hiding in one of its feet. The Queen is rescued, and the King gladly welcomes her back. BUT, the argument had been over her rumored infidelity, and the Queen now has a daughter fathered by the midget. The King is expected to expell both the child and the Queen, but he shocks everyone by claiming that the horned kid is "from this day forth, my daughter." Then he does a victory dance. Mink gets a large rock marble and a goblet as a reward. Finally, the castle, which has been floating in the sky all this time, sets down on the planet's surface, since its "super screw propellor" has finally failed. Unfortunately, it sets down on where Siva and Vena are sunbathing.

PC: Wears a crown and robes, is bald, has a moustache, and a heart tattoo on his forehead. The Queen has a heart on her forehead. The child has a unicorn horn. The snake woman is very beautiful, dark skinned and with long black hair, and a snake body from the hips down.
