History

Legend of Mana

“A sly little man who is a really fast runner. He sees through everything, and is sometimes cunning. Works at Kristie's palace with Hamson.”

—In-game Encyclopedia

Huntin' Du'Cate

Sotherbee has gathered Skippie and Hamson to the Jungle for a task Madame Kristie need them to fulfill. The dog explains they must hunt and capture the legendary Du'Cate and get his prized tail for a hefty sum as reward. Skippie is enthusiastic about receiving such a big amount of money, but Sotherbee clarifies that his debt would only go down from 10,000,000 lucre to 9,980,000, making the sly little man think that the anthropomorphic dog has deceieved him and Hamson. The lapdog replies they must pay back what they broke inside the Palace. If the main character speaks with Sotherbee, he will inform them they will reward them 20,000 lucre for each Du'Cate's tail they retrieve.

Moments later, a lilipea dashes around Sotherbee, the latter shouting that each of them are worth 100,000 lucre and that the protagonist should try catching them. The little fellow scurries away before anyone can claim their prey, however. Skippie claims moments later to have found a big animal worth more his fare share of money, but it turns out to be the King of the Jungle and Wisdom, Rosiotti. The hero finds the humongous ape and defeats it, nabbing them his tail. Sotherbee only gives them 500 lucre, however. If the player decides to give the money to Skippie and Hamson, the lapdog will be impressed and give them the Sand Rose artifact instead.

Catchin' Lilipeas

The mercenaries are called once again by Sotherbee to catch lilipeas as Kristie holds a peculiar obssession about them. The dog claims he will grant them 1,000 lucre for each captured lilipea and whoever brings him the most will be promoted as an executive of the Kristie Group.

Skippie and Hamson, however, discover their village and start not feeling to keen on capturing them anymore. They discuss what they could do instead to start their lives anew, both coming up with the titles "Legend of" to name their next personal adventure.
