Dusty 'Earth' is a fictional character in the vehicle action series Vigilante 8.

Overview

Dusty Earth is a Native American shaman and chief of the Zuni tribe who is angered that the Vigilante/Coyote auto skirmishes have destroyed his tribal lands. Dusty was indecisive about whether he should join the war, so he decided to call upon the ancestral spirits for guidance. After three days of 'kachina' trances, Dusty had a vision of a falcon that told him of a great Coyote Demon that would arrive and destroy all in its wake. To defeat the Demon, the falcon told Dusty that he must travel to the top of the mountains and learn the ways of his shaman ancestors. When Dusty awoke the next morning, he was still unsure of his decision, but suddenly spotted a falcon perched on top of his vehicle. He knew then that he must go.

Ending

Dusty Earth is not playable in Quest Mode, therefore does not have an ending.
