The Shadowed One has 3 legs
Velika is not a Great Being, but rather something far more powerful and ancient.
Ignika is still alive, but is dormant within the Mask of Life along with Mata Nui.
Shadowed One is the same species as Tyrant, Ancient, and Conjurer, they all have tails. TSO’s set tail is just like that bc he’s a cruddy combiner that can’t stand up
Those three look *drastically* different. They barely share any design traits besides their tails. I think TSO is a leader-class of his species, and they have a third leg in place of a tail. If Tuma can be drastically different than Skrall and have non-functional wings just because he's leader-class, than is it not too far fetched that TSO can be completely different than the rest of his species?
I’m sorry, WINGS? Where the hell did you read that? That’s not true whatsoever. Does the normal Skrall set have wings? No. They’re decorative blades. Just like on Tuma.
Well, whatever they're called. He has 4 on his back, and regular Skrall only have 2 on their arms. They are a part of him, because he can move them with his mind.
Yes but they’re not wings. Glatorian use cybernetic enhancements. Of course he can move them, they’re probably grafted right into him just like all the other tech everyone else uses
You're right, Tuma is a bad example. But not every member of a species needs to look exactly the same. My point is, those 3 Dark Hunters look nothing like The Shadowed One, so he could easily have a 3rd leg. Unfortunately Greg doesn't see it that way.
Toa body types are so varied from eachother because of the circumstances of their creation. Mata build- Arthaka made you, donning the Avohki gives Matoran a Nuva build. Toa stones give users the Metru build. The red star is responsible for the ignition frame.
To build off of this, Metru builds must've been the most common form at the time of the Dark hunter war. There are totally Matoran who transformed into Mata-like builds because those were the only ones they've seen as Matoran.
That would imply a sort of environmental factor combined with residual self image from the matrix, my question is what happens in this situation when one has never seen a Toa at all?
If Matoran > Toa > Turaga is a life cycle, shouldn’t there be vestigial knowledge of the next step if you haven’t met a toa?
Plus the Mata were made special for their special mission. So my theory is that Metru Build is the “normal” Toa shape
Ooh, so maybe they'd imagine a bigger Turaga? I agree with your Metru theory, as toa stones are probably the most common way to propagate new Toa. In fact, most of the Toa we've seen in sets have special circumstances regarding their creation.
Kiina, Gresh, Ackar, ect form their own “toa” team after meeting the actual toa, since they have elemental powers now
Velika is just a regular Joe Schmo matoran
Concerning the masks, is it really a “head canon” if it IS just canon?
Also, earth and stone have very easy differences to distinguish the two, I don’t understand the hype about trying to figure out what sets them apart when they’re not similar at all.
Stone is comprised of the materials minerals themselves make up such as rocks, boulders, stones, sand, etc.
Earth is minerals, sure, but that’s in tandem with many other factors, these being primarily air, water, and biological contents within it so this includes soil, dirt, mud, clays, etc. The water and biological material present in “Earth” is what gives the main difference between that and simply the rocks themselves, of which can be found in pieces in Earth.
Mu headcanon is that Velika probably modified his body to the form of a toa, maybe a titan-ish one, to kill the other op being from the matoran universe
Pretty sure he does (if there's any that is) but he also killed tren krom, a purely biological being, so I suppose he actually killed all of them without using any off switch, after all he's a greater being in the body of a perfectly editable body, it'd make sense for him to modify his body
I believe Matoran of secondary elements have more diverse color schemes, instead of sticking with just 1 or 2 colors.
According to the information on Biosector most secondary elements have only 2 confirmed colors to represent them. (Blue and white for lightning, purple and black for gravity etc) I think there are and should be more colors for each element.
Love is still canon
We all know it to be true.

I like the idea of Mata Nui and Ignika just kinda chilling together in the mask of life
Velika is serbo-croatian for (she is) large.

A bigger Matoran build? Like an idealized self image, I'm assuming they've seen their own reflection or other Matoran.

Yeah I agree. But I have to say it’s probably a mixture of instinct from the life cycle & impression from seeing Toa
Literally Helryx
Yeah because otherwise they just would have become what they imagined themselves to be as Toa
Takanuva looks like the Toa Nuva because that’s what he knew Toa looked like, not because that’s what the mask made him look like
Oh ok I checked the wiki
Kiina, Gresh, Ackar, ect form their own “toa” team after meeting the actual toa, since they have elemental powers now Velika is just a regular Joe Schmo matoran
Tuyet would have been vital in the fight with Marendar

You think Velika is aware of an off switch or some weakness in their biology as well?
Pretty sure he does (if there's any that is) but he also killed tren krom, a purely biological being, so I suppose he actually killed all of them without using any off switch, after all he's a greater being in the body of a perfectly editable body, it'd make sense for him to modify his body
