A cult of ancient druids are close to awakening their giant clockwork god, Fuath.
Tropes:
- Chekhov's Skill: Caitlin's skill with basketball, established in her introduction scene and used to keep Fuath's crystal away from him until he runs down.
- Humongous Mecha: Fuath, being that he's actually a giant ambulatory machine.
- Mugged for Disguise: Three of the cultists so Max and his party can infiltrate the gathering. Doubles as One Size Fits All, since the robes change from fitting three average-sized men to fitting Max (an 11-year-old boy), Virgil (an anthropomorphic bird who comes to Max's waist) and Norman (a Viking warrior about half as big again as your average beefy linebacker).
