Technically Gresh is still an odd man out because he's Jungle, not Air, but I can't deny he is green

(As usual, borrowing @barsom-fearce's interpretation)

Kiina and Ackar sparring, a comic scene reinterpretation

This was the first time I tried to give Bara Magna inhabitants a more organic approach as it should be (I like the thought of Ackar having a beard) and I decided to use one of my favorite panels of the Bara Magna comics as a reference.

Now about the background... I was still working on that back then 😅

I dislike the '100,000 year timeline' for several reasons (not an analysis, but my opinion what affects my enjoyment):

- None of the Spherus Magna characters feel that age? To be fair, my only comparison to characters from another story who can reach such an age are Tolkien's elves, which is both a different genre and a very different setting.

But when Gresh, the youngest and still having lived since the Shattering, feels like a teenager that has only lived for fifteen or so years, rather than 15,000?

- Related, Bara Magna does have mysteries, but they don't impress the weight of millennia gone to me. The events of the Shattering are the focus - nothing after or before that. How do you compare when there's nothing else that affects the story?

- Another related reason. 100,000 years is a long time! Why are things so dire still? Or rather again, because high and low times would've circled through. What have the people of where Kiina and Ackar live have done to deal with their problems? Have times been better and if so, why? Have they been worse and if so, why?

Similar things apply from the GSR side.

Esora

Esora served as Tesara’s secondary Glatorian for much of her life, a contemporary of Kiina, Gelu and Malum. A fierce combatant who was willing to hazard all in defence of her homeland, she would often travel far afield to fight for resources when Vastus was not able to.

Esora would later train Gresh as the new secondary Glatorian for her tribe. Shortly after the Skrall moved south, however, she was tragically cut down in an arena match against an Elite Skrall. To this day, she is sorely missed by the denizens of Tesara and the generation of Glatorian she inspired.

She wielded a Double Sword and a Thornax Launcher.

I originally built Esora in early 2009. This version featured a robotic hand because I broke one of the dark green fists that came with Gresh. She had lots of silver and dark green so it’s refreshing to bring her back with a recolored helmet and brighter colors.

Please consider leaving a thoughtful comment!

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and I think I’ve found a pretty good real-world analogue to the Thornax from Bionicle! Gents, I present to you... the Durian fruit!

Native to Southeast Asia, the Durian is a beast; Hard, spiky shells, with a pungent odor that you either love or hate. The same can be said for the soft insides, which are of a distinct flavor.

There have been stories of Durian traps being used in the Vietnam War, and I can totally believe it. These things have the weight and durability to kill, and have done so many times in the past when dropped on some unsuspecting sod’s head.

As we know, the Thornax is also hard and spiky, and used primarily for combat for this very reason. It’s considered a delicacy by the Glatorian and Agori, with only cultures who grew up with and are accustomed to the Thornax being used to it i.e. the Bone Hunters and Vorox. Thornax stew is said to smell revolting, have a rubbery consistency, and taste awful; Things Durian haters typically say about the fruit!

Cultures who eat these spiky fruits are also considered primitive by racist westerners and are regarded as unusual for their tastes

Chiana (2012)

Originally built as a request by Jadekaiser, this character was intended to be a female member of the Zesk species.

The last panels show some sort of comic which used to have a narration that's now long lost on the old MOCpages servers. She apparently wanted to eat a squid and, during the conquest, took off Range's hand. Fascinating.

thinking about spherus magna so so so much and i NEED to write about the tribes and their bodies and their eating habits

to start off - agori and glatorian are like dogs and wolves: same progenitor, compatible to create hybrids capable of reproduction, different appearances and strengths but similar genetic curriculum.

the seven tribes have specific differences in appearance but most of their anatomy is still the same - humanoid, sharp spaced teeth, vestigial minuscule stubby tail, flat nose, small ears. cross-tribe children weren't very common before the shattering (big ass planet and all) and might become more common as time passes (lots of people died and whatnot), but due to there being no real hierarchy in the gene pool they wont necessarily be perfect hybrids of their parents: more often than not they will resemble only one of them, or showcase smaller traits of the other.

Tapyri (Fire tribe) - oval pupils stretched horizontally, tough skin that secretes a layer of protective mucus good for hot dry climates. different skin pigmentation in the form of spotted patterns, mostly on the back, is surprisingly common.

Gaquri (Water tribe) - crescent pupils stretched horizontally, drop-shaped sturdy scales that slightly overlap. hands and feet are lightly webbed between their fingers, while the eyes have a protective lid for underwater diving.

Lebori (Jungle tribe) - beaded pupils stretched vertically, short thin feathers, mostly greenish, which generally have little use. fingertips, palms and soles have small hooked cells to better their grip when climbing trees and rocks.

Koniri (Ice tribe) - rhomboidal pupils stretched vertically, thick fur that sheds and changes color depending on the seasons. powerful nails and bite, build up fat much easier than other tribes and are incredible sprinters on short distances.

Banuri (Sand tribe) - slit pupils stretched vertically, very small polygonal scales tightly placed together. small sharp horn-like protrusions all over the body, mostly the head, and remarkable adaptability to varying temperatures.

Potori (Rock tribe) - rectangular pupils stretched horizontally, wooly fur that varies in thickness depending on place of origin*. duller teeth, immune to most poisons, have heightened endurance in harsh climates and tougher bones.

Fezeri (Iron tribe) - round pupils similar to a photocamera's aperture, sectioned carapace not unlike that of an insect over skin. have a tendency to develop reddish crusts with age which need to be removed through cyclical moltings.

when it comes to food. oh baby.

ANY CREATURE in the desert is fair game. theyre most of the meat available and by god these people will Fucking Get It or die trying. blood is both cooked and drunk (usually on special occasions) and is often given to sickly, pregnant or young individuals; bones are generally split open for marrow, but while smaller ones can be grated or used to make stock broth, the bigger ones are kept to make weapons or tools - the only ones that eat them are the Bone Hunters, which is why they're called that in the first place, and the Zesk and Vorox, who have built in weapons.

Tapyri have very fertile soil but horrendously high temperatures, so they can grow only a select few plants, mostly cereals. common foods are iron snails and a type of edible lava residue, but a real delicacy is the elusive heat-resistant mole, which is incredibly fat and tender but also fucking FAST. they cook mostly on slabs of rock heated over lava, or on roasts

Gaquri eat anything that enjoys humidity - slugs, leeches**, tadpoles, frogs, other small amphibians, fish and crustaceans if they had any. their vegetables are cave mosses and freshwater algae or kelps - a specific type produces "kelp jades", round fruits that are sticky as hell. they tend to eat things raw, but can also afford to steam or boil their stuff

Lebori have the vastest array of fruits and greens available thanks to living in the green lung of a fucking desert and everybody imports that good stuff from them. their local protein source is comprised mostly insects***, worms and other invertebrates, which they employ in various methods. since they have access to oil, they often default to frying food

Koniri have access to small game and a discrete amount of forests in which they've learned to recognize edible berries, leaves and especially branches. a typical dish for them is a bundle of sticks wrapped in very far strips of meat. in some lakes they also harvest a strange type of anemone. when they don't freeze-dry their food, they tend to either boil or roast it

Banuri relied evenly on hunting, gathering, and husbandry. Zesk and Vorox have adapted thoroughly to the desert ecosystem, and while the first still gather lichens, the latter most hunt in packs

Bone Hunters, being scavengers, eat anything and everything; the Skrall had a more plant-based diet, but in Bara Magna added salt-dried meat; other Potori prefer vegetables like briars and thistles

Fezeri lived in fairly comfortable climates and could afford a pretty varied and balanced diet. Telluris allegedly eats, but nobody can confirm. Sahmad is trying to fuckin survive. give him a break

*Bone Hunters, native to the Bara Magna area, resemble goats; the Skrall, native to a snowy mountain area, resemble sheep. similar cases are found in all tribes across Spherus Magna (ex. BaMa lebori are more akin to geckos, BoMa lebori to lemurs)

**Gaquri would, as such, be the first to try and eat a kraata or krana without even thinking about it. the consistency would not bother them, but they would be mostly perplexed to discover there's food that tastes, respectively, "dark" and "bright"

***scarabax beetles not included, because they taste horribly and are not worth the effort of catching to feed off of them for anybody. Click will live forever

I feel like with the Bara Magna Arc there was a real missed opportunity for the Agori and Glatorian to be nocturnal due to the sweltering temperatures of Bara Magna during the day time making it unbearable to do anything during the day so they adapted a schedule of being more active at night where it's more cool

While both realistic it'll introduce the struggles post finale with the Matoran and Agori getting used to being around each other because even with Spherus Magna being reformed the Agori and Glatorian would still have those nocturnal habits bc they've done it for so long so the Matoran, Toa and Turaga are so fucking confused by it till they realize that's how they got shit done on their desert wasteland planet before Mata Nui brought life back to it

I’ve had a thought. So in the Kingdom!AU, the Skrall probably won. Without Mata Nui, even if the Agori tribes had rallied against them it probably wouldn’t have been enough. The Skrall conquer southern Bara Magna and when the Battera make it pasts the mountains, well. This could be really angsty but The Kingdom always had sort of a ‘hopeful tragedy’ vibe to it. Like, no matter how bad things get ‘life finds a way’.

Maybe most of the main Glatorian survived. The Agori are enslaved but the Glatorian and a few others make it to the desert. They manage an alliance with Malum and the Vorox. Enemy of my enemy. And over the next 2000 years build a sizeable resistance. Probably get some discontent Skrall and Rock Agori on their side too.

The Battera may or may not be an issue? Tuma knows how to avoid them now but I don’t think he’d ever order his armies to just disarm themselves.

By the time the MU survivors make it to Bara Magna the two sides have probably been at a stalemate for a while. But it’s obvious that even if the fighting stopped immediately, the planet couldn’t sustain everyone for long.

Thankfully the Matoran are able to refuel their ships and make it to Bota Magna. Or something in the Valley of the Maze transports a team there. But they don’t stay, no.

In canon the Great Beings were supposed to build an additional giant robot to help Mata Nui repair the planet. It never showed so he had to reassemble the Prototype instead. My headcanon is that they did complete the Robit and have it buried somewhere under the Northern Frost. (That’s how I imagine the GBs would end up leaving Spherus Magna at the end of Greg’s GB Civil War arc). They commandeer the Rob3t and pick up all their friends before going off to find a new world to colonise away from the dying world and war mongers.

Sorta bringing the GSR concept back around to the abandoned colony ship idea.

"History will tell you that I am a monster, a slaver, someone who made a living capturing my fellow Agori and selling them to the Skrall. I'd be a fool to lie and pretend I did not do those things; of course I did. But there is more to the story than just that, and there is one thing you need to always remember about history: the winners write all the books."

A Sahmad fanart I made! He's one of my favorite Bionicle characters and I love him so much. He deserved so much better, story did him dirty and in the end he saved people who shunned him and his tribe in times of need and people who he didn't even know. An amazing character 🧡
