{{nihongo|'''Lavos'''|ラヴォス|Ravosu}} is [[Chrono Trigger]]'s primary villain and final boss, an alien parasite which crash landed in the year [[Prehistory|65,000,000 B.C.]] It was named "Lavos" by [[Ayla]], a word she made up from the root words "La" meaning "fire" and "Vos" "big" in an ancient language. Lavos' true name (if it even had one) is unknown. Lavos came to Earth with the intention of draining its energy so that it could produce genetically enhanced spawn, which would then continue the cycle on other planets.

In the original timeline, Lavos slept for millions of years, gaining power until 1999 AD, when he emerged and put the world into an [[apocalypse|apocalyptic]] state. However, because of the interference of many of the characters, he was summoned at two other points in time—[[12000 BC]] and [[600 AD]]. While traveling in [[2300 AD]], [[Crono]], [[Marle]], and [[Lucca]] see a video of the Day of Lavos which occurred in 1999 AD, and decide to prevent it somehow. [[Magus]] is also after Lavos for destroying his home era of 12000 BC | ||
Lavos has three different forms. The first form is the outer [[animal shell|shell]], which resembles the [[Peluda]]. The second form consists of a large humanoid form with two arms. The third and final form is Lavos Core, consisting of three parts: a humanoid center, and two 'bits'. | Lavos has three different forms.

*Due to Lavos destroying the planet is almost similar to the way that the [http://darkcloud.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Genie Dark Genie] destroyed the towns after the [http://darkcloud.wikia.com/wiki/Fairy_King Fairy King] sealed them into orbs called [http://darkcloud.wikia.com/wiki/Atla Atla]. | |||
