The Krazoa Spirits were the six peace spirits and ancient bringers of life to Dinosaur Planet, who also made the magical SpellStones to hold back the unstable interior planetary energy from destroying the entire planet. The six Krazoa Spirits serve as one of the main objectives of "Star Fox Adventures".

History

After being safe in the Krazoa Palace for a million years, they were hidden in safety by the EarthWalker tribe all over Dinosaur Planet to prevent General Scales from using them in his conquest to take over the whole planet, as in the wrong hands, the Spirits could bring great terror.

Since only those who were of pure heart could be "possessed" by the Spirits and release them back into Krazoa Palace, Krystal started the quest to return them back to Krazoa Palace. But because of her imprisonment within the crystal on top of the Palace, this meant it was down to Fox McCloud to return them to the Krazoa Palace in order to end the war against Scales, prevent the Spirits and effectively the entire Dinosaur Planet from total destruction.

Andross, knowing that the power of the Krazoa could revive him from his previous defeat (as he was at this time a disembodied spirit), was the one who trapped Krystal inside a crystal to drain her energy and use it to control the Krazoa Spirits. Once Fox released all the Krazoa Spirits, Andross used their power, the palace, and his own power to make himself a new body while Krystal was freed. With the Spirits inside Andross, the planet would be doomed unless Andross was stopped. Once Fox destroyed him again, the Krazoa spirits were able to put the broken world back together.

The Krazoa Spirits are floating, transparent ghost like entities, with rear tendrils and vaguely tribal mask like faces.

Notes

• The official Nintendo Power guide for Star Fox Adventures had stated in the Final Battle sections that Andross disguised himself as a Krazoa Spirit in order to trick Fox. It's never specified which Krazoa Spirit he posed as, but the most likely candidate is the Krazoa figure seen at Moon Mountain Pass, as it is the only Spirit that looked different and gave misleading information. The oddity is that it speaks with a different voice. However, it cannot be one of the other seen Krazoa Spirits, as the six are seen working together to rebuild the planet at the end of the game.
  • Additionally, Andross' point of view is seen at certain instances involving Krazoa Spirits - first when Krystal released her Krazoa Spirit from the Test of Observation, second during Fox's attempt of the Test of Fear, third when his disembodied voiced made demands with General Scales, and finally when emerging from the Palace statue and announcing himself as The Mighty Krazoa God. In the first case, some demonic laughter can be heard as the statue released a beam that was later used to seal Krystal inside of a crystal. These are not moments where Andross impersonated the Krazoa Spirit, however - it can be assumed to be Andross' ghost watching Fox's progress and ensuring his plan comes to fruition.
    • The Krazoa Spirit that Fox encountered at Moon Mountain Pass mentioned that Krystal had "released" him, implying that Andross may have posed as the first Krazoa Spirit.
• It appears that the Krazoa Spirits affects the eye colors of whomever is in possession of one. The eye color differs on their moral alignment which may serve as a visual judgment of character. For Fox and Krystal, their eyes took on a shimmering violet color; with General Scales and Andross, they possessed yellow-red eyes with cat-like slits.
• Releasing a Krazoa Spirit appears to be a painful process; when Fox and Krystal released their spirits, they both fell to their knees and began breathing heavily, with Fox letting out a cry of pain as the spirit left his body. General Scales let out a roar when he was forced to give the final Krazoa Spirit to Fox before collapsing. When Andross met his demise, he screamed in agony as the spirits abandoned him.
• It is unknown how General Scales came into possession of a Krazoa Spirit. If a test had to be passed to obtain it, this is a contradiction to the EarthWalker's belief that only the pure of heart complete it. It is possible that Scale's was able to take the Krazoa test because his heart was 'pure' evil. At any rate, it is implied that the Krazoa Spirit's power was what allowed Scales to rise to power, as even he was unaware of Andross' presence.
• The Krazoa Spirits were part of the prototype game Dinosaur Planet. They essentially served the same role as in Star Fox Adventures, although with some differences. In the game's lore, the Krazoa had previously been party to a destructive conflict with the dragon-like Kamerian race (of which one of the primary antagonists, Drakor, belonged to). Although one of the Krazoa told Sabre and Krystal that they were trying to stop the Kamerian race from destroying the universe and indicated the Kamerians were responsible, Drakor when encountering Sabre shortly after the Kamerian heart was vanquished implied that it was actually the Krazoa who instigated the conflict for evil ends (with Krystal verifying this claim when trying to access the past to revive Sabre), and also revealed that they planned to use Warlock Mountain as a weapon to wipe out the universe. The story summation form also implied that the Krazoa when confronted on this feigned remorse and turning over a new leaf as part of their agenda to continue what they had started.
  • There were also eight Krazoa Spirits to collect, instead of six like in Adventures.
