Stolas is the main antagonist of the video game The Smurfs 2: The Prisoner Of The Green Stone.
Biography[]
An artificial being created by human alchemists, Stolas was imprisoned by his creators after his respect for them became fear. Trapped within an artifact known as the Green Stone, he was captive for some time before the stone was found by Gargamel, who sought to harness Stolas' power for his own use. However, when Handy broke off a piece of the stone to use in his new SmurfoMix invention, he unintentionally freed Stolas. Stolas then fled through a magical portal, and his magic began to spread across the land.
Eventually, Smurfstorm tracked Stolas down and learned of his desire to permanently escape the Green Stone. Sympathizing with the creature, Storm tried to offer him help, but Stolas was convinced that she was yet another being who wished only to use him for his powers. He then created a copy of himself to battle her before fleeing; Storm ultimately bested the copy and obtained some of Stolas' essence. Gargamel and Papa Smurf, through joint research, were able to determine that Stolas was still connected to the Green Stone and hoped to return him to its confinement despite Storm's protests.
Dimwitty, quite accidentally, later tracked Stolas down to a mine in the midst of some icy mountains. Dimwitty attempted to befriend Stolas, but the homunculus was only confused by the Smurf and caused an avalanche in order to escape him. Back at Gargamel's castle, the other Smurfs had determined that they could free Stolas from the Green Stone by separating him from his powers. They resolved to offer this option to Stolas, in spite of the fact that Gargamel wished to continue experimenting with the Green Stone's power.
Stolas, attempting to affect his own escape from the stone by using minions to collect magical essence, was eventually tracked down yet again by Brainy. When Brainy explained the Smurfs' offer to him, Stolas responded by explaining his own history. Unable to trust other beings after his ordeals, Stolas fled Brainy after a battle and traveled back to Gargamel's castle to begin the process of freeing himself from the Green Stone. His efforts resulted in the castle and its inhabitants-including Brainy's fellow Smurfs-being drawn into the Astral Nothingness.
The final confrontation would take place between Stolas and Handy, the latter seeking to make amends for unleashing the homunculus in the first place. After defeating Stolas, Handy used his SmurfoMix to enact their plan, leaving Stolas much reduced in size but free forever from the hated Green Stone. No longer needing to fear others, Stolas embraced the Smurfs as new friends. The Smurfs promptly welcomed Stolas into Smurf Village where they celebrated.
