Play With This Too

Desolataur is an homage to Generation 1 Skullgrin/Dauros by Play With This Too. He is an evil demon and has a Tech Drone partner named D-Mon.

Development

Desolator and D-Mon were designed by Steve Redinger. Desolataur's sword and D-Mon were modeled by Peer Brauner.

When teasing Desolator Play With This Too posted "Maybe we should reveal one of our monster designs next? We're thinking of a guy who doesn't PRETEND to be pure evil... He is pure evil."

Desolator's design was revealed at Retrocon 2014. His name was changed to Desolataur from a suggestion by Trent Troop.

In an interview on WTF@TFW2005 Rik Alvarez said that Desolataur was a demon and could come with a cape accessory. He posted a concept image of the cape on Facebook asking for feedback.
