Creature Creator

Fiend Tale

One notable Spine Drake lived in an area where his kind were at odds with the Drakes. When both types join forces when their children run off, Spine Drake reconsiders his prejudice and is selected to represent the Drakes attending at a peace conference between his kind and the Ruminants represented by Balivarha. It turns out to be a trap by Yevon monks to pit the two fiend types against each other. Luckily, Divebeak, Vertigo, and Barbuta reveal the treachery and Spine Drake joins forces with Balivarha against their common enemy. Completing the Spine Drake's fiend tale and watching his fiend tale ending unlocks Balivarha for capture. Once Balivarha's fiend tale is complete, the Calm Avengers team can be fought in the Fiend Arena.

Etymology
