Crushto is a boss in Tools of Destruction. An aquatic creature with cybernetic parts, he is one of the most feared gladiators in the galaxy, and a major contender at Emperor Tachyon's Imperial Fight Festival on planet Mukow.
History[]
Before Tools of Destruction[]
Crushto was a creature native to the oceans of Praxus VII, where he was discovered off the coast by a zorpathian fisherman. He was found badly injured with his fins damaged and gills broken. He was given cyborg arms and legs, and made a gladiator at the Imperial Fight Festival, where he became one of its most formidable combatants.[1] He was also endorsed officially by Neofit Astral ice water.[2]
Mr. Zurkon did not like Crushto as he had once lost money on him, presumably on a bet.[3]
Tools of Destruction[]
In "Win the Coliseum Battles", Ratchet and Clank fought him in the challenge "Introducing Crushto", during their visit to the arena to find Captain Qwark. The two won the Heli-Pods gadget for their victory. In a subsequent timed arena challenge, "Return of Crushto", he sought a one minute rematch to achieve his redemption, but was defeated again by the duo.[4]
Later, after Zorthan the Irritable was also defeated in combat by Ratchet and Clank, in "Tag Team", Crushto teamed up with his fellow major contender in a tag team match to regain their honor.[5] The tag team returned for the final challenge, "Everyone Wants a Piece of Mustachio".
After Tools of Destruction[]
In A Crack in Time, whilst Ratchet was competing at the Agorian Battleplex, Crushto was listed among Ratchet's past victories, along with Zorthan, Captain Slag, and Emperor Tachyon.[6]
Characteristics[]
Crushto is an immense amphibious creature with green skin on its back, with purple stripes. It has cyborg arms and legs, with a mounted rocket launcher on the right, and a triple machine gun on the left. He is an avid enjoyer of tennis, arts and crafts, and sushi.[1]
Combat[]
Behind the scenes[]
According to his unused Galactipedia entry: Crushto made his home in the murky waters of Praxus 7 and is believed to be the last remaining mutant bluggerfish. Due to his large size and the titanium enhancements he was given, he became popular in the Shadow Sector's underground combat arenas. However one day his owner made eye contact with Tachyon, leading to the emperor having him executed and Crushto being transferred to the Imperial Fight Festival. He also attends night classes in hospitality management.[7]
