Frogger: Ancient Shadow[]
Igunis is a lizard warrior who first appears in White Savanna Level 3, where Frogger encounters him on a cliff. He appears with his hood on and with a quiver full of arrows, From the cliff, Igunis shoots one of the arrows in Frogger's direction, only for him to dodge the arrow in time and hitting the Fairy hiding in the bush instead. He then jumps off.
His next appearance is in Hidden Caves Level 2 when Frogger dodges yet another arrow. Frogger asks him who he is and what he wants to do, but Igunis only fires an arrow again, but this time, it lands right between Frogger's feet. He then warns Frogger that the place "Was no place for kids", and tells him to leave while he has the chance. Frogger questions him again, but when he does, Igunis only replies that "He won't warn him again, and to turn around and go home if Frogger knows what's best for himself". Then he jumps off. Frogger, slightly ticked off, decides to keep an eye on him, just in case he may "cause any trouble in Firefly Swamp".
He makes one last appearance confronting Dr. Wani and his minions at the Boss. He asks Dr. Wani to return the Amulet of Mastery, but he refuses, only to brag about being unstoppable and ordering his minions to attack him. Igunis shoots his bow at the Mini Wanis, leaving them unconscious, then gets by to go after Dr. Wani. He however is defeated after a long fight. What ever happened during the fight, Dr. Wani called his strategy "As laughable as a one-legged squirrel." Dr. Wani has retrieved the Amulet of Destruction, then invites Frogger to his Mansion party before teleporting off. After he does, it is revealed there was a shocking device used to electrocute Igunis during his battle. It rolls to the ground and steams from use. Igunis regains consciousness then jumps off before Frogger can talk to him. A confused Frogger finds the mural in front of the battle site. While Frogger and Dr. Finnius talk about the mural, Igunis looks back on it, saying, "Tukuku, I will do it for you." Keeping his promise, he jumps away, out of sight.
He is never seen at all during Dr. Wani's Mansion, but he is mentioned by Dr. Wani before he fights Frogger.
He reappears in Elder Ruins Level 1, where Frogger tell him what is he doing here but suddenly Dr. Wani appears before Frogger and Igunis challenge Dr. Wani, he then uses the Amulet's power and teleports them away. As a result, Frogger was back where he started and Igunis is nowhere.
Frogger found him in Elder Ruins Level 3, where he is imprisoned in the Crystal Prison guarded by one of Dr. Wani's TRIP minion. When the mini Wani saw Frogger, he accidentally presses the button to activate a trap, send him and Frogger down to a mini-game to get the key to the prison. After Frogger won, he unlocked Igunis' prison and freed him. Igunis introduces himself and he is a descendent of the Wani Tribe, who can't accept their violent way, so he lives in isolation. Frogger unites with Igunis and they go ahead to stop the Ancient Wani Tribe from regaining power before it's too late.
At the Boss, he and Frogger found Dr. Wani but he leaves before the Ghost Pharaoh appears. Atter the boss fight, they headed off to stop Dr. Wani's evil plans, however, Dr. Wani has finished the resurrection ceremony, stating that he became the king of the world, restoring the Temple back to life. Dr. Wani admitted Frogger and Igunis should start looking for new real estate because they're ousted and Dr. Wani retreats to his Temple. Therefore, Frogger and Igunis have failed to stop the Temple's revival and the Ancient Wani Tribe will invade Firefly Swamp once more.
At Doom's Temple, Igunis mentions a word to Frogger that the Temple is too dangerous for a young frog. Ignoring Igunis' orders, they decide to embark on a mission to seal the Temple. However, the only way to do that is to infiltrate the center of the Temple where Dr. Wani is.
Later, at the Boss, the two angry Igunises appear as the twin gate keepers. Frogger and Igunis defeat them and get inside the Temple before the floor collapses. Frogger nearly falls but luckily he uses a floor tile to send him in the air, becoming Tukuku. Soon after that, he becomes back to his old self, much to Igunis' dismay. Igunis can show Frogger the school yearbook later. Igunis tells Frogger to go home and sees his friends because there's no promise that either one can survive, but he'll be back afterwards while Igunis is waiting for Frogger in front of the Ancient Wani Tribe's throne.
In Sealed Heart Level 3, Frogger meets Igunis again and the only way to get to Dr. Wani is to go by air. Luckily, he found a Wani Tribe's flying armor suit to infiltrate Dr. Wani unharmed.
At the Boss, they found Dr. Wani. Igunis uses the crystal powers to defeat Dr. Wani. After defeating Dr. Wani, Igunis grabs the Amulets from him and it clashes with his horrible outfit. Frogger grabs onto Igunis and they pat themselves on the back. Igunis then grabs the Amulets and throws Dr. Wani and Frogger out of the Temple. However, they are found back in Firefly Swamp. When Dr. Wani's plans to become king failed, Igunis sends in Tukuku and lends him a hand in sealing the Temple. The Temple starts sinking and Dr. Wani gets mad before running off. Igunis tells Frogger that the only way for the Temple to stay sealed is to use the Amulets from the inside. Thus, Dr. Wani is nowhere to be seen. Frogger still misses Igunis and he yells "Igunis! Come back!"
Meanwhile, back in Firefly Swamp, Finnius looks at the book, noting that Dr. Wani is responsible for the Amulets, but he's not here. If the family doesn't catch Dr. Wani, he will cause more trouble yet again. Mr. Lion tells Lumpy where Dr. Wani is, but he ignored Mr. Lion. Finnius tells Frogger to go home, but he refuses because Igunis will return to Firefly Swamp shortly. The family starts crying until the Ancient Wani Tribe (one of them accompanied with Igunis) and Tukuku appear in the water. Moments later, Igunis arrives and says his goodbyes to Tukuku and the tribe. The family finally reunites with Igunis and they all lived happily ever after.
