"You fools couldn't even stop McCoy! BE GONE!"
— Malana Mire as she is about to blast Alpaca Jack and Dumbbell with the Serpent Blade after Jack asks her for the treasure

Malana Mire is the main antagonist and the last boss in the game Cactus McCoy 2: The Ruins of Calavera. She has many goons and two henchmen, who are Alpaca Jack (the smart but weak one) and Dumbbell (the silly but strong one). As a rumored Reptara, she had wished that the doomed and dangerous Reptaras could wield the power of Serpent Blade and for this, she even abducts Ella Windstorm, who is the last of the Volados, and the only one who can open the vault to the Serpent Blade.

Appearance[]

Actually Malana Mire resembles a human with her olive green hat, cape, and clothes. However, she also has white hair, grey face, and white eyes without pupils like the other Reptaras.

Personality[]

Just like Hex Hatfield, the main antagonist of the previous game, Malana Mire does not seem to have any empathy for her henchmen at all; as she can easily blast Alpaca Jack and Dumbbell up without regret due to their failure to stop Cactus McCoy (though whether she intends to kill off her henchmen are moot, considering that they survived). This may also imply that she is usually better off working by herself (as seen in her boss fight), unlike Hatfield, who is usually backed up with his Enemigos (in his boss fight). Despite being somewhat less intimidating and cruel than Hatfield (her interactions with McCoy are a side priority compared to the latter and the chance of eliminating McCoy was denied at first), it is likely that she is less overreactive than the four-armed Crime Boss and her homicidal-ness should not be underestimated if provoked.

Official Flipdeck Info[]

Malana Mire Flipdeck

Malana Mire made a name for herself by running one of the largest crime syndicates south of the border. As a devout student of the dark arts, Malana became obsessed with the ancient writings of the Reptaras and their quest for the Serpent Blade. This leads her to hunt down the last of the Volados, Ella Windstorm, who held the key to the long-lost Serpent Blade.

As a boss[]

She is the third and the final boss in Cactus McCoy 2: The Ruins of Calavera. Her boss fight consists of two phases (which is a first in a Cactus McCoy game). In the first phase, she uses the Serpent Blade as a shield by spinning it. Then, she dashes and jumps away, as she throws the blades that target McCoy. When her HP is zero, she tells McCoy that this is "enough" and the second phase starts.

In this phase, Mire now has a super-shield. Her new shield makes it harder to damage her, as she is airborne sprays mini fireballs out onto the level. Every few moments, she lands and fires a powerful laser against him on a random floor, which is her strongest attack. Thankfully, Malana will gets tired and wears her shield off, which then leads her to fight in a manner similar to her third phase (minus the scythe throwing). This gives McCoy the opportunity to exceedingly attack Malana Mire when she's down. When she is defeated also in this phase, the boss fight and the game itself end.

Skills[]

  • Leadership: Unlike Hex who often gives commands, Malana is seen leading her group to their main goal, not surprising that she is the head of one of the two crime syndicates mentioned in game.
  • Fighting skills: Malana is one of the most skilled fighter in both games and more than Hex, who is unable to block attacks and uses more than one weapon.
  • Agility and Dexterity: Even before the battle, Malana is shown to be capable of high jump and speed. She is capable of throwing split Serpent Blades akin to boomerangs.
  • High Intelligence and Knowledge of using every weapon (implied): Malana was mostly likely trained to use every weapon as she is seen using Serpent Blade without problem even though it's the first time she uses it, she can also use it like a boomerang.
  • Endurance: Malana is the only antagonist who isn't defeated once her health bar is empty, in fact she's not tired or slowed and will only take a moment to use full power of serpent blade as she gets annoyed by McCoy.
  • Knowledge of Reptara Lore and Dark Arts: Another reason why Malana is shown to easily use this for her quest to find and use the Serpant Blade, as well as the ability to use the same scythe. She is also at least aware of Volado Lore and that someone with the lineage and lore knowledge of the Volado, a sworn enemy of the Reptara, is the only way to recover the Serpent Blade (something arch-enemy Ella Windstorm possesses), even if she doesn't use it, due to her possible lineage.

Trivia[]

  • Malana Mire's both name and surname start with the letter "M".
  • Her weapon, Serpent Blade can be unlocked after completing Cactus McCoy 2 100%.
  • She's the first (and currently the only) female enemigo to appear.
  • Malana and Hex are similar, as they are both leaders of enemigos, unsympathetic towards their henchmens (McCoy for the former, Alpaca Jack and Dumbbell for the latter) and having similar goals (to obtain a particular MacGuffin and be wealthy, i.e. the Thorned Emerald and Serpent Blade in order to be powerful). Unlike Hex, Malana succeeded in taking power of Seprent Blade, if only temporarily.
