Just for anyone who is curious:

Hannibal's back scale is themed after the Gekirin, or Reverse Scale of dragons in real-life mythology. This particular scale points in the opposite direction of the other scales on a dragon's back (According to old myths, the scale is 1/81, or one in 81). Should it be touched or damaged in some way, the dragon will go nuts and kill the person who touched the scale.

This happens to be how Hannibal's back scale works. Destroy it, and he gains his rage mode attacks, as well as the small ring of fire that happens to work as deco-wings.
