Agamo

“	"Agamo began his existence as a stone creature whose head looked uncomfortably like that of Cookie Monster from Sesame Street." Jokes Giam. "He went through numerous incarnations, combining rocks, moss and various shapes, and while many possibilities were explored, most did not seem to fit the tone of the game. Eventually, we went from the more blob-like pile of rocks to a lanky form with an Easter Island-style head. That last bit seemed to serve as a point of inspiration. Suddenly, Agamo was no longer a rock-golem, but rather a stone idol."	„

Background

The shaman of a remote tribe brings an offering of the alien fuel to the stone deity his people pray to. The fuel awakens this stone titan who frees his body from the earth's bonds walking to the horizon with a newfound purpose, trampling the holy man in the process. Agamo's massive stone structure is believed to be the work of a civilization that vanished eons ago. The fire burning in its eyes and head hint at the rage that has engulfed its soul. Agamo can effortlessly control the molecules binding its rock body together and create a large boulder of massive destructive capabilities.

Trivia

• Inspiration for the character design came from the various stone idols and totems found in Central America and the South Pacific. Another influence may have been the Daimajin trilogy created by Daiei Pictures in 1966.
• Agamo's fourth skin is Sweet-Tooth the psychopathic clown from the Twisted Metal series, (Incog is the creator of both games), the reason why Agamo's character was chosen for this special skin could only be because both characters have heads ablaze.
• Agamo appears in Stage 8, along with Magmo at Club Caldera.
• His name might be a play on "Agama": the Indonesian word for religion. Considering his is a worshipped deity, that theory might not be to far off.
