Changes: The Toys of Power

Revision as of 18:03, 14 May 2021

The Toys of Power appeared in The Devil's Playhouse. They enable Max's psychic powers.

History

The Toys of Power belonged to the elder god Yog-Soggoth. When his grandson, Junior (his real name is impossible to pronounce correctly without enough larynxes), was born, he was given them by Yog-Soggoth to keep himself occupied along with a box in which to keep them. Later, the box was found by Sammun-Mak, who used them to become a pharaoh. Eventually, he was overthrown and his brain removed to render him powerless. Thousands of year later, they were discovered by Sam and Max's great-grandfathers, Sameth and Maximus, who used them to retrieve the Devil's Toybox. Afterward, Monsieur Papierwaite tried to use them to summon Yog-Soggoth from the Dark Dimension. Just before The Penal Zone, Max finds one of the toys, the goggles, and uses them to have a psychic vision of the future. Then, General Skun-ka'pe appeared, on a quest for the toys. Throughout the season, the Toys of Power continued being of great significance to the story. In the end of Beyond the Alley of the Dolls, all toys were destroyed, along with the toybox.
