Chrono Trigger
Full Name: Mammon Machine
Japanese Name: まじんき Demon Machine
Age: One to two years
Species: Not applicable
Home Time: 12000 B.C.
Home Area: Zeal Palace
The Mammon Machine was designed and built by Melchior to extract immense quantities of energy from Lavos. It was stationed in Zeal Palace upon its completion. A Pendant for Schala and controlling the machine was made, and doors were constructed that could only be opened with Mammon energy. The initial activation of the Mammon Machine was said to have corrupted Queen Zeal "almost overnight," leading to her fixation with Lavos. Further research revealed that human immortality could be achieved in the event that the Mammon Machine were moved to an Ocean Palace in order to get closer to Lavos. The Gurus expressed fears over this plan, though the Queen decided to go ahead. The resulting move and activation caused the Ocean Palace Incident, and scattered the Gurus across time. In the Keystone Timelines, Melchior gave Crono the Ruby Knife in order to stop the Incident, but plunging it into the machine had no effect. Later, it would appear in the Black Omen as a boss that harnessed energy.
Chrono Cross
It is noted that the Mammon Machine existed briefly in the Darkness Beyond Time when Schala was first pulled in to bind with Lavos to create the Time Devourer.
Radical Dreamers
Notes on the Frozen Flame being used in Zeal raise the possibility that it was used with the Mammon Machine.
Theory and Analysis
Name Origin
The Mammon Machine's name is derived from the Hebrew word for "sin" indicating the malevolent nature of its power.
