Appearance
General Scales is significantly bigger and stronger than many other characters. His appearance is different from the average SharpClaw, which suggests the different classes of the species. His eye color is a deep red because it is the vessel of a Krazoa Spirit. General Scales usually wears a tribal set of armor and a viking hat, but during his interrupted fight with Fox. He wears a belt, which allows him to teleport between locations.

General Scales always desired to elevate his tribe to ruling status like the EarthWalkers and the CloudRunners. Scales was denied this position due to his greed, and he attempted several times to take control of Sauria, but failed every time.

He enslaved the SnowHorn tribe on DarkIce Mines, revived the RedEye tribe in Walled City, began to produce dinosaur mutants on Dragon Rock, and conquered the CloudRunner Fortress.
Scales invaded the Krazoa Palace and his SharpClaw army defeated the EarthWalker guard. General Scales found and unleashed the six guarded Krazoa Spirits, one of which he absorbed himself.
Scales first appears at the start on his personal airship, the SharpClaw Galleon. His airship was greatly damaged by Krystal, with help from the CloudRunner, Kyte, which Krystal set fire to. General Scales walks right through the, threatens Krystal, and throws her off the ship. Krystal managed to be rescued by Kyte.
While Fox made his way through the CloudRunner Fortress, General Scales grabs the Queen CloudRunner and asks her where Fox is. Fox arrives shortly afterward, but was imprisoned by Scales, who also stole Krystal's Staff. General Scales enters the room with the SpellStone, but it was intercepted by Fox just before he could obtain it. General Scales then teleports out of the area.
Fox's final confrontation with General Scales occurs at the Krazoa Palace. Just as they are about to fight (indicated from when Fox draws out his staff), a mysterious voice stops them. The character (later revealed to be Andross) reveals that Scales was just a pawn to him, and is forced to relinquish the final Krazoa Spirit to Fox. General Scales was then zapped to death.
After defeating Andross, the SharpClaw grunts are seen happily celebrating, with a few holding his belt up. This suggests that they were unsatisfied from his leadership.
