LEGO → System → Power Miners |
The set 8962 Crystal King was released in May 2009† as part of the Power Miners line. Included are Rex and Duke (Version 2) minifigures.
Description
The Crystal King is three times the size of a small rock monster and moves similarly to a LEGO BIONICLE set. He has grabbing claws and crystal teeth. His body is glowing with crystals, caused by devouring many crystals in the past, and he can fit a whole Power Miner in his mouth. The drill Rex is holding is rotateable.
Background
The Crystal King is the largest of all Rock Monsters. In the "Bios" section of the Power Miners page on Lego.com, the Crystal King is said to be the "undisputed ruler of the Sulfurix," likely because he shares the same colors as a Sulfurix monster. This is odd, since it has been mostly assumed that the Crystal King is the king of all Rock Monsters (and he probably is).
The Power Miners "encountered" him while mining, apparently awaking him for a very long sleep. The Crystal King is the most powerful rock monster and has eaten crystals for ages, his body is glowing with the crystals he has devoured over thousands of years. According to a comic, the Crystal King was awakened by the noise of the Titanium Command Rig's drill.
