"Glad to see you made it. My kind would like to help you on your mission. Let me show you how to use some Earth power. I'll teach you the Stone Stomp!"
― Stone Stomper[src]


The Stone Stomper, also known as the Stone Smasher is the cousin of the Water Whirls. Their physical appearance resembles a talking pile of rocks.

Appearance[]

Stone Stompers are light brown, walking mounds of rocks, indicating their rock elemental nature. Their bodies are adorned with a light covering of moss. Additionally, small, fully grown trees can be found in various spots on their bodies. To complete their look, they sport a Stone Hat on top of their heads.

Collecting[]

When the player approaches the Rock Elementals, Zephyr or a Wind Warrior can pounce on a Stone Stomper to awaken it. Once awakened, the Stone Stomper thanks the heroes and returns to their homeworld. However, if the player's Category Level is too high, both the Stone Stompers and Water Whirls will be sucked into the tornado.

Origin and History[]

Rock Elementals, originally warriors of Omegaton were banished to Earth forcing them to sleep in an eternal slumber. Known for their earthly abilities to perform powerful pounces, they lend their abilities to Zephyr and his Wind Warrior companion for the purpose of capturing Fire Flyers and awakening his sleeping brothers that are trapped on Earth.

In game[]

In the level Carnival Chaos, the Stone Stomper appears from behind Zephyr, who at first is startled by the rock elemental, but is reassured that he is an ally. He teaches Zephyr the Stone Stomp, a powerful move that Zephyr can use to completely demolish objects within a small distance using his tornado. In return, he asks Zephyr to awaken his sleeping brothers by utilizing the Stone Stomp move.

Future Timeline[]

After the events of Tornado Outbreak, Nimbus leads the Stone Stompers and the Water Whirls back to their homeworld, suggesting that the alternate ending is the canonical ending to the game.

Ending
