A Brief History...

"The offspring of a Wallmaster and a Floormaster (not going into details here), he/it was birthed and, essentially, discarded, where he perished in the depths of a dungeon that echoed with eerie singing. At some point, a young man in green clothing came by and--coincidentally-bottled up a bug off the ground, a bug that was dusted in Phalanx's genetic remains.

"Years later, the bug was liberated, and the bottle reused, and given to a mad scientist camped out by Lake Hylia (the bottle had large eyeballs in it, if you're wondering). In an unprecedented freak occurrence, Phalanx's cells escaped from the sanctuary of the bottle and thrived outside it, regenerating themselves in the nourishing environs of the laboratory. It was only hours before Phalanx had reached the full grown size and shape of its ancestors, and then some, along with the strange red and green coloration that now adorns it.

"The rest is history, and inevitably boring history, since it consists of just a lot of prowling about in dark places and high ceilings. Personality-wise, Phalanx is your average Wallmaster and Floormaster to the T, equipped with the abilities of both."
