Iron Crotch Caruso[1] is a boss in Tools of Destruction. He is a space pirate who flies a pirate spaceship resembling a skull. Ratchet and Clank, piloting Aphelion, fought him in "Evade the Pirate Fleet" in the Rakar Star Cluster, after Captain Slag disengaged because they were late for a yoga appointment at Sargasso Sam's meditation station.[1]
Caruso's ship was durable enough to stay within close vicinity of a star. His attacks includes firing a rapid spray of energy bolts, dropping bombs that generates pillars of fire, and firing massive waves of energy. The energy waves can only be avoided by flying through each accompanying circle. This is also the only time when his weak point is possible to be shot, revealed as the small antenna-like device on top of his ship.
