Character Summary

Doomondback is a dangerous enemy. As the second most powerful member of the Mutant Guerrillas, second only to his leader, Hurtle, he’s made it his goal to destroy Maurice Eazel, the Silver Battler, ever since their first battle in Book 1.

Although Doomondback has been in the series since the beginning, his first major story — despite battles he’s fought against Maurice — did not come until Book 17, when he accidentally bumped his head into a tree and woke up with amnesia. He was found by White Battler J.J. Rountree and his alligator, Steeltooth, and convinced that he was named Viper and was a member of the good guys’ side. This ended when Maurice, who was also suffering from amnesia at this time and fighting on the Mutant Guerrillas’ side, said Doomondback’s real name, bringing everything back to him.

 

Doomondback and the other Mutant Guerrillas returned to the scene after a long time away in Super Battlers 4. He and the other mutants were hiding out in Magicia to get stronger under the instruction of an unnamed teacher. They nearly defeated the Battlers in a deadly battle, but thanks to Deyon’s newly-attained Battler Emerald, they were defeated instead.

 

Doomondback and the other mutants were struck a terrible blow when news of former White Battler J.J. Rountree leaving town — and the Battlers — drove their comrade, Manchomper, the mutant Canadian beaver, to follow him out of town to continue his pursuit of his dreams of one day eating him. But Hurtle picked up the pieces faster than all the other mutants by having Owlina find a replacement animal to use a Mutant Creation Spell on. They used it on a normal raccoon and created Coonskin, who’d take over for Manchomper. Hurtle, proud of their new creation, was sure they’d defeat the Battlers with no problems.

 

In Book 43, Doomondback and the other Mutant Guerrillas ambushed the Battlers in the park. They not only did their usual routine of threatening them with death, but they also surprised them by revealing to them that they’d added Coonskin to their group. They also had to tell them about Manchomper’s departure. Doomondback then engaged in a battle with Maurice. Unfortunately, as per usual, he was again defeated by him.

 

In Book 51, Doomondback and the other Mutant Guerrillas suffered yet another loss to the Battlers, this time even worse than before, as they were caught off guard by seeing all eight of them with Battler Emeralds and thus more power. But they regrouped from the loss quickly when they were recruited by Castoro “Cast” Dammon, a Killer Beaver warrior who’d taken over control of the Killer Beavers by devouring his own chief, Chief Manhunter. He gave them each a fraction of his power (which he’d gotten from eating the chief), and used them to effectively defeat the Battlers on their next encounter. They kidnapped Deyon, Maurice, Aaron, Jon, Shauna, and Diahandra and took them to the Killer Beavers’ village, but they were once again defeated when new Orange Battler Jay Dixon used his Magic Advance on them, knocked them all out, and then rescued his kidnapped friends, with help from new White Battler Richard Montgomery.

Doomondback is a deadly opponent. Although he is a limbless diamondback rattlesnake, he can wrap up an enemy in his coils and squeeze him or her to death. His long, sharp fangs can deliver deadly poison that can kill within three to four minutes. (This almost happened to J.J. in Book 20.) Although Maurice has defeated him in many battles, he’s got a long way to go if he expects to defeat him for good.
