- “Tricky my son! You don't have to worry about me! I am the King!”
- —King EarthWalker
The King EarthWalker is one of two rulers of the EarthWalker tribe on Dinosaur Planet. He is the husband of the Queen EarthWalker and the father of Prince Tricky. He is also the GateKeeper of the Walled City, something he apparently never told his young son before it was of great importance.
Appearance[]
The King EarthWalker appears to be based on Styracosaurus. He wears jewels and fancy garments to designate his kingly status.
Biography[]
For some time before the Plight of Sauria, the King EarthWalker and King RedEye waged war on each other, which resulted in the imprisonment of the RedEye tribe. During General Scales' newest campaign to conquer the entire planet, the King EarthWalker also sent a large EarthWalker army to Krazoa Palace to protect the Krazoa Spirits, but his army were outnumbered, outgunned and massacred by the SharpClaws, who were also coming to take the King prisoner, as General Scales intended to make an alliance with the King RedEye for effective support in his conquest, and successfully locked up the King EarthWalker within Walled City as a prisoner, guarded by the EarthWalker's now free wandering sworn enemies.
As part of his mission to fix Dinosaur Planet, Fox McCloud and Prince Tricky visited the Queen EarthWalker after releasing the Krazoa Spirit from the Test of Fear, who told them that the King EarthWalker had been taken prisoner to Walled City, the SpellStone land they needed to go to next. The problem initially was, that the King EarthWalker himself was the GateKeeper (which Tricky was unaware of until now), so it seemed there was no way to open the GateKeeper's ForceField. Fortunately enough for Fox, the King was wise enough to know in advance that the SharpClaw Tribe would come for him because he was one of the SpellStone land GateKeepers, so he sealed away his Gateway powers with his Queen for safekeeping, behind a Portal Door.
After opening the forcefield and flying his Arwing to Walled City, Fox and Tricky were set to rescue the King EarthWalker from the RedEye Tribe and collect the next SpellStone. After completing two mazes, the King's prison cell was opened and he was reunited with his young son Tricky, and he also had the chance to meet the famous Star Fox hero he had heard of. Before Fox could ask him, the King informed Fox that the SpellStone he wished for was within the lair of the RedEye King, yet the only way to enter was to collect both the Sacred RedEye Teeth. The King guided Fox to find the Super Ground Quake ability for his Staff to defeat the Red Eye surrounding the large temple and dispel the Life-Force Door for the Gold Tooth, and to complete the secret river race challenge for the Silver Tooth. After Fox defeated the King RedEye and collected the SpellStone, the King EarthWalker had to stay behind in the Walled City but saw Fox to his Arwing, while cheering Tricky on as he couldn't come back to his family until the planet was fully healed.
Later on, after placing all four SpellStones, Fox came back to Walled City in order to find the fifth Krazoa Spirit, asking the King EarthWalker for advice. The King was well aware that Fox needed to find all the Krazoa Spirits as well as the SpellStones to complete his mission, so he told Fox to find and return the Sun and Moon Stones to their rightful places, on the RedEye statues where he previously placed the Sacred Teeth. After this was completed, Fox was able to find the hidden Krazoa Shrine and complete the Krazoa Spirit Test of Knowledge. Since Fox would have to travel directly to Krazoa Palace instead of ThornTail Hollow, he left Tricky behind with his father so that he could return the Spirit directly at the Krazoa Palace.
The King and Queen EarthWalkers later sent word to General Pepper, thanking the Cornerians for their assistance. Their fates are currently unknown, for as of the Aparoid Invasion of Sauria, their son is now the tribe's king.

Trivia[]
- The King was first mentioned when Fox rescued Prince Tricky in Ice Mountain, when Fox was enraged by Tricky's insult of almost being frozen by the hot spring's water. Out of anger, Fox was about to pull out Krystal's staff, but Tricky tries to stop Fox from trying to exact retribution by mentioning that his dad is the King Earthwalker and "will bash you up." Fox then immediately told him that the King couldn't do that as he was captured and that he was sent by his mother to save Tricky. However, during the first meeting with the Queen Earthwalker, it was never implied that the King was captured until later into the mission before going to the Walled City. This may a side effect of reused dialogue recorded for Dinosaur Planet.
