This fortress is where the World's Worst Villain The Claw rules Ricca, an island within the Pacific Ocean, with an iron fist. There is where Claw plots his plans for world conquest, having several underground levels such as the boat base, radio room, and munition factories.
Background[]
The castle was built shortly after The Claw took reign over the island country of Ricca, ruling the inhabitants with a heartless despot. There his slaves toil away in his factory building weapons of war which he would use in World War II, aiding the Nazis in their plans to take over the world. The slaves would be rewarded with dreams, akin to drugs, but are punished with horrible nightmares if they fail their master.
The Claw would one day, use his size shifting powers to loom over the village of Death's Head from his castle, creating a terrifying hum that brings the fear-stricken villagers into a panic. The hum was to attract a woman to his castle, a companion of one of Claw's nemesis, Jerry Morris.
The castle has a throne room where the Claw, sitting with fire emitting from it, but it is only the tip of the iceberg. It has other areas, including underground lairs and large rooms, one being where his weapons factory is held. Other areas includes:
- A radio room: A chamber where The Claw privately goes to in order to listen to radio messages.
- The Boat room: A secret grotto connected to the ocean, where Claw runs a pirate operation sending his followers to hijack ships to steal their supplies.
- The Corridor: A room with a large glass cylinder to trap the Claw's enemies and drag them to his throne room.
- The Munition Factory: The aforementioned weapons factory where the slaves build their weapons, fighter planes, and all sorts of deadly tool for evil.
The castle would then be raided by Professor Jerry Morris, who stormed the fortress with a few dozen men in order to save a friend of his from the Claw. The Claw would escape, with Morris planting bombs in the castle which soon completely destroyed it. But The Claw has other fortresses to further continue his evil ambitions.
