Prince Catalus is a member of the goblin royal family and brother of Queen Vulpecula. The charming goblin took his job very seriously, maintaining a smart visual appearance and a smooth tone of voice in order to reel in his prey. Unfortunately for others, this job involved capturing small foxes in order for his sister to go "fox hunting". Liemould, Vulpecula's assistant, considers Catalus to be untrustworthy, something that was eventually proved to be a correct evaluation.
History[]
Although his relationship with Vulpecula was strained, Catalus routinely performed duties for her, keen to avoid upsetting his queen and sister. One particular mission involved taking a team to the Nameless Zone in order to kidnap some fox cubs. His crime went perfectly well, although his escape was witnessed by Jimmy and Jilly's mother. Shaman Warpull was informed, leading to him summoning Tails to retrieve them and stop Catalus.
Tails eventually caught up with Catalus after a brief stop in Portstable, the goblin capturing him when he lost control of his ship. However, Catalus seemed perfectly charming, stopping assistant Grack from scaring Tails and cooly introduced the hero to the young cubs. Despite this, he ensured the delivery of all three foxes to Vulpecula, urging the foxes to find him Castle Morbidden so that Vulpecula couldn't enjoy her game. Unfortunately, his motives weren't for the foxes' benefit; Catalus merely wanted to spoil his sister's fun by killing the foxes. Using his sword, Catalus attempted to attack the small targets but managed to get his weapon stuck, giving them a headstart. He soon returned to the pursuit and located them on top of a bridge, but was unable to catch them before Tails flew them all over to Catalus' flying boat.
With Vulpecula's prey evading her, it is unknown quite what punishment she had in mind for her brother (if, that is, she had any idea it was his fault they escaped).
