Threat level
Boss-sized, times two
Crusher is an enormously strong young alien with a delighted grin and an almost uncontrollable enthusiasm for smashing things. Buildings, machinery, ancient artifacts and very expensive starship parts all fascinate him equally, as long as he can make them flatter.
He isn't malicious. Destruction is simply the most interesting thing he knows, and consequences are something that happens to other people, later.
His episodes start small, with one squashed crate, and escalate into something Zamfyr and Onobo really have to deal with.
Whale Crusher is the other half of the problem. She is huge, proud and fiercely protective, and she carries a stone mallet the size of a cargo pod.
And he never comes alone. Whale Crusher, his enormous, fiercely protective mother, is always close by. She is infamous on ocean worlds like Oolamara for bonking giant whales (they splash off grumbling and are completely fine), and she does not appreciate anyone interrupting her son's fun.
Personality
Cheerful, curious, easily bored and strong enough to be a genuine boss-level obstacle. The comedy comes from his innocence and enthusiasm, never from how he looks.
With Captain Zamfyr
Zamfyr treats Crusher as a tactical problem and draws diagrams. Crusher flattens the diagrams, and Whale Crusher flattens the table they were on.
With Onobo
Onobo gives Crusher something safe to smash and politely offers Whale Crusher a cup of tea. It works until Crusher notices the Wobblenaut's landing gear.
Crusher
The son. Horned, grinning, strong enough to lift a boulder over his head and keen to drop it on something.
Whale Crusher
The mum. Sailor cap, stone mallet, famous on ocean worlds for bonking giant whales (they’re always fine).
Signature gag
Someone spots Crusher looking at something important and yells “CRUSHER, NO!” just as he happily smashes it.
