Emperor and Queen Fossil







Appears as a boss in:

Darius Twin (1992)
G-Darius (Queen Fossil)

Code Numbers:EP30 and QU10.

Relatives: King Fossil and Fire Fossil.


Who would've thought that King Fossil had family? And that he was jilted, to boot? I mean, Queen Fossil has apparently made off with this Emperor fellow. Hmmm...Needless to say, they have some pretty ugly colour schemes. But they do gnash their teeth in a most suitable manner.



No, you're not drunk.


Tips: The two Fossils (pink for Queen, green for Emperor simply move up and down the screen throughout this encounter, each Fossil taking turns to take you out, one fish starting its attack when the other reaches the bottom. Emperor Fossil fires big, Burst Out-like beams, while Queen Fossil floods the screen with slow-moving laser bursts (a proto-manic attack?). While it is trickier to dodge, you should look out for Emperor Fossil's straight laser as it is noticeably faster than the other attack. However, I wouldn't recommend taking him out first, as it can get hairier with just Queen Fossil on the screen.

Real-Life Inspiration:Coelacanths. They certainly ain't underrepresented in these games.
