Azala, the infamous leader of the Reptites, is the principal villain of the prehistoric age and a very intelligent and formidable opponent. She leads the entire Reptite race from atop the Tyrano Lair, a fortress constructed south of glowing lava beds, and also occupies time at an encampment within a cave south of [[Ioka]]. Besides holding the keys to the [[BlackTyrano]], the tools that denote her reign include telekinetic (and perhaps, telepathic) powers, and a marked intellect. Leading war against the [[Ape]]s due to their mental inferiority, she commands, in addition to [[Reptite]]s and their [[Reptite (purple)|variations]], the various savage animals that roam the land. Her personal bodyguard is a massive dino called [[Nizbel]], who also displays a level of intelligence above that of the other animals and Apes. In this regard, she is only matched by the power of the [[Laruba|Larubans]]' control of the [[Dactyl]]s.

The details of how Azala came to power and acquired her telekinetic prowess are unknown, and complicate the definition of the Reptite race. Also unexplained is the motive for going to war with the Apes; whatever the offense, [[Ayla]] notes that Azala intends to destroy both significant caveman encampments. Her character is worthy of this aim, as she displays not only the thoughtful capacity to lead, but the pride associated with the title of head of state - as well as intolerance for enemies, evidenced in the confrontation in the Reptite Lair. Azala later became aware of [[Lavos]]'s impending landing, and perhaps the fate of her race as well. Many hold that her utterance, "Red star, FALL!" intended to mean that she summoned Lavos, but this is a misconception, as Azala only recently learned of Lavos's approach, and had lost the battle to the Apes (ensuring that they would inherit the planet). The cry was thus more of a bitter forecast of future hardships for her bipedal opposites, as the astronomical omen had already signaled the end of her own race. Prideful to the very end and indignant at her defeat, Azala declined to be saved from the Tyrano Lair's destruction, and wisely predicted that the world's future was in jeopardy due to the arrival of the red star. She perished in the destruction of her fortress.

Azala's history and role as Reptite leader are unknown. Also unexplained is her reason for warring with the Apes except for control of the planet; she wishes to destroy both Ioka and Laruba. She displays pride and intolerance for opposition in her taunts to [[Ayla]] and Crono's party in the Reptite Lair. Azala became aware of [[Lavos]]'s impending impact sometime before the fall. She accepted that the event would cause an Ice Age and wipe out the Reptite race, forecasting lives of neverending hardship for Ayla's descendants. Azala refused to be saved from the Tyrano Lair's destruction, and wisely predicted that the world's future was in jeopardy due to Lavos's arrival. She perished in the destruction of her fortress.

Chrono Trigger

Full Name: Azala
Japanese Name: アザラ Azarla
Age: Indeterminate
Species: Reptite
Home Time: 65000000 B.C.
Home Area: Reptite Lair, Tyrano Lair

Azala is the infamous leader of the Reptites and the principal villain of the prehistoric age. A very intelligent and formidable opponent, she leads the entire Reptite race from atop the Tyrano Lair, a fortress constructed south of glowing lava beds. She also spends time at an encampment within a cave south of Ioka. Besides holding the keys to the BlackTyrano, she boasts telekinetic powers and an advanced intellect. She commands the Reptites and the various savage animals that roam the land in war against the Apes, whom she regards as inferior. Her personal bodyguard is a massive creature called Nizbel who also displays a level of intelligence above that of the other animals and Apes.

Azala's history and role as Reptite leader are unknown. Also unexplained is her reason for warring with the Apes except for control of the planet; she wishes to destroy both Ioka and Laruba. She displays pride and intolerance for opposition in her taunts to Ayla and Crono's party in the Reptite Lair. Azala became aware of Lavos's impending impact sometime before the fall. She accepted that the event would cause an Ice Age and wipe out the Reptite race, forecasting lives of neverending hardship for Ayla's descendants. Azala refused to be saved from the Tyrano Lair's destruction, and wisely predicted that the world's future was in jeopardy due to Lavos's arrival. She perished in the destruction of her fortress. She was confirmed female by Chrono Trigger DS.

Chrono Cross

In the Lavos-less Reptite Dimension, Azala probably led the Reptites to victory over the humans.

Name Origin

Azala means home in Basque, but this is probably meaningless coincidence.
