WHAA?? WAS LAVOS SENT TO EARTH?? maybe...

[Sentenal]

Death Peak isn't THAT much bigger than Lavos's shell in 1999.

Well not really...



Death Peak

and



Look at the size of Lavos then compair it to the party in the battle, its just not right.

Minus the difference in picture size. You can see that they are very different in terms of size.

[Legend of the Past]

Hmm, it'd be nice if those two were, what's that word, proportionel? You look at Death Peak from the World Map's scale and at Lavos from the Party's scale. I agree, Lavos' Shell is Death Peak. I think after he gave birth to the Spawns he died, and the shell was all that remained.

[JossiRossi]

Lavos doesn't have anything about him being proportional. When lavos erupts from the earth we can assume it's about the size of the hole that is being made, when you fight him he looks like a small cabin sized. When you enter his shell he becomes maybe the size of a football field.

I think what should matter in the discussion here is how big lavos is on the overworld when he does appear there. I think Death Peak is only slightly bigger than Lavos in 1999 AD

[Sentenal]

1.)  Thats a blown up picture of Death Peak.
2.)  Compare it to Lavos's overworld sprite.  The one that shows him bursting through the ground.

[Legend of the Past]

Precisely. Besides, you only see the FRONT of Lavos. His back is unseen because Lavos is so damn big.

[Chrono'99]

Well, there are 2 possibilities:

1/ Lavos's shell is Death Peak -> That makes sense. Lavos's shell rested there and grass and snow slowly grew on it.

2/ Lavos's shell isn't Death Peak -> That doesn't make sense. Explain how a hole in the ground, that probably leads to the center of the planet, can turn into a mountain.

Yeah, Crono and co sure look pretty big too on the world map.

The Shell is most likely Death Peak.  I mean if you look at the scene in 2300 AD when you discover Lavos, he seems to be standing on what is the tip of his back.  He was not in the position that you fight him.

Obviously, they have to make them big. You'll need a microscope to see them in 'real' size. Lavos, on the other hand, can be as big as the map makes him, much like the mountains, forts and castles in the game. They don't need scaling.

[AuraTwilight]

I don't much by this one, but perhaps the Lavos spawns arn't bably Lavos's. This idea comes from FFX. We have Sin, and then we have Sin Spawns. Sin Spawns arn't baby Sins, they are just... well, spawns. Maybe thats what the Lavos Spawns are to Lavos?

The problem with this idea is that Lucca said that the Lavos Spawns were to move on to other worlds, to "repeat the cycle."

oh, and Lavos = Death Peak.

Well, Lucca could have just been guessing, like how she was with the Marle Paradox.  Nobody really knows just what Lavos's life cycle is like.

[Lordchander]

Ok so perhaps ive been defeated here (oh well it has to happen to someone   ).

But have you ever thought about the width of Lavos. Look at the pic of Lavos when u fight him and you know that one party member is about the size of his mouth. So in that picture he isnt very wide at all. Im estimating about 10-15 Cronos wide (probably more actually). Now would Death Peak be 10-15 Cronos wide? I dont think so...

Hmph, no doubt I will be slaughtered as usual. But hey, im only 13...I dont have as big a brain as some of you smarty dudes.

[Mystik3eb]

I'd also say Death Peak is Lavos' Shell. Makes perfect sense to me.

[Sentenal]

Chander, look at Lavos's overworld sprite, and look at Death Peak's overworld sprite.  Lavos's width is just about the same.  Plus, his battle sprite doesn't show his entire body, so he could be as big as a mountain behind there, and probably is.
