Dr. West made no actual appearance in the story and was only mentioned in the instruction manual for the 1990 home port. According to it, Parapsychology students Rick Taylor and Jennifer Willis went up to see his mansion. Based upon the conditions of the West Mansion and promotional artwork, Dr. West was experimenting on and torturing several bizarre creatures. This is not explained in the Arcade version, which is more ambiguous. In the context of the TurboGrafx-16 version, it can be assumed that the Hell Chaos creature was a mutated form of Dr. West's corpse.
