Magmadon

The Magmadon is a fiery titan that appears in Crash of the Titans and Crash: Mind Over Mutant, capable of crossing and manipulating lava. In Crash of the Titans they were created by Doctor Neo Cortex, but served Nina Cortex.

The Magmadon Hero holds one of Uka Uka's bones in Mind Over Mutant. It is fought at the Ice Prison.

Biology
Magmadon is a bipedal turtle-like mutant whose skin and spiky shell are made of hardened magma. It has a flat head with small eyes, a sharp beak, and a wide mouth. It also has scales on its belly. Magmadon is often found hibernating, which makes its body even harder. It attacks with its fiery, explosive hands, and its shell by smashing it to the ground. When Magmadon stomps the ground, the arena shakes, causing tremors. Magmadon also attack by summoning craters, and can cross pools of lava or boiling water without trouble. According to Aku Aku, Magmadon like these hostile environments.

Abilities
Slam Thrust: Magmadon heats its fists, causing them to glow. It then pounds the enemy with a burning fist, and, on the second strike, punches them with the other hand. Afterwards, Magmadon is grounded and takes time to get up again. In Crash of the Titans, the second strike breaks the block of most other titans.

Body Slam/Heavy Attack: In Crash of the Titans, Magmadon's heavy attack is a body-slam that, while powerful, has a long recovery period, during which Magmadon is vulnerable. In Mind Over Mutant, it is instead a combo move performed by pressing the 'light attack' button while jumping, and no longer breaks an enemy's block.

Punch/Heavy Attack: Exclusive to Mind Over Mutant. Magmadon throws a hook punch at an opponent, breaking their guard.

Hellfire Stomp: Magmadon's ultimate attack. It stomps the ground and summons a line of volcanic craters in front of itself, racking up massive damage on everything it touches. In Mind Over Mutant, the Magmadon Hero can create three lines of fire instead of one.

Breakdance Raid: Available only in Crash: Mind Over Mutant. Magmadon lies on the ground and spins around the arena as if breakdancing, damaging anything it touches. During this time, it is invulnerable to most attacks (excluding Ratcicle's Freeze Punks and damage from TNT crates). Magmadon can reset its trajectory by holding the 'light attack' button during the Raid. In PlayStation and Xbox versions, the attack is used by pressing the 'block' and 'light attack' buttons at the same time; in the Wii version it can also be done by waving the Wiimote. The attack ends after eight seconds, or after the player releases the block button.

Block: Magmadon guards itself from attack with its forearm.

Trivia

 * In the introductory cutscene of Crash of the Titans its seen that the Magmadon was the first titan that was created when Dr. Cortex shot a turtle with the Evolvo-Ray. The first attempt, however, was flawed because the titan was so weak that it couldn´t even lift a stone. It was not until Nina modified the Evolvo-Ray and fired at the titan again that it received its final form. Nina can thus re regarded as the creator of the Magmadon.


 * While Magmadon in Crash of the Titans are one of the strongest medium-sized titans, in Mind Over Mutant they are strangly much weaker and not nearly as effective in combat as Ratcicles for example.
 * Also your ability to walk unharmed through lava no longer serves a real purpose in Mind Over Mutant, as there are only a few places in the game where this ability can be used meaningfully.
