Macadameus

Macadameus, known in Japan as EXP Hermit・Rumao, is a character appearing in Magical Starsign. He is a powerful martial artist that resides in solitude in the Quinoa Plain.

Appearance
Macadameus is an imp-like creature with orange skin, blue fur, and a pointed nose and ears. He hovers in the air with pink moth wings, and wields a leaf in his left hand.

Enemy
Macadameus is unlike other enemies in the game in that he will not attack the party unless he is attacked first. He will not act on any of his turns otherwise, allowing the player to use bean pops on him. He can also be used to summon figurine enemies in his place.

Macadameus has wind affinity, gaining an aura when Puffoon is in alignment. He has the spells wind talon and falcon dive, both of which deal massive damage to all members of the party with the potential to inflict dizzy. He also has the neutral spell celestial swap, allowing him to manipulate the alignment of the planets to his advantage. Outside of these two affinities, Macadameus can use spells from every other affinity, though they are rarely ever used. These are: heat fondu from fire; briar patch from wood; gravel pounder from earth; absolute zero and iced fromage from water; crystal laser and prism barrier from light; and blood money from dark. He can also perform the physical skill gust, which deals damage to three random party members in the front row. He has the highest defense stat in the game, making it difficult to deal significant damage to him.

English
This master of martial arts lives a hermit's life. He has fought every battle a hundred times in his head before the first blow ever lands. Handle with care.

Japanese
ブジュツシンとよばれていた　すごくえらいセンニンだ. 戦いのことなら　何でも知っている. おこると　コワイからちゅうい！

A grand hermit once revered as the god of martial arts. He knows virtually everything when it comes to combat. Be warned, he gets scary when angered!

Early life
Long ago, Macadameus was revered as the god of martial arts. He took Biek Fowler in as his disciple, dubbing him his "mortal apprentice" later on. Macadameus then chose to live as a hermit in Quinoa Plain.

Magical Starsign
When the party interacted with Macadameus, he offered to lend them his power, so long as they agreed to deal with Fowler. After Shadra was defeated in Chromagar Cave, Macadameus observed the glowing sun, taken aback by the party's victory.
