The Zyglak in bionicle are so funny because they like barely show up in the story in literally any capacity and every time they do it's for like a split second. And yet it's also emphasized that they are both a relatively large portion of the sentient population, with their own established culture and way of life, and also an absolutely massive threat and this ominous force of destruction and death. and it's like... all just... something happening. over there. this massive population of homicidal giant lizard pirates who hate everyone. just like this absolutely massive component of the entire universe of the franchise. a significant portion of all sentient life. and they just like... get mentioned five times. and show up three times. and they just sorta exist. somewhere else. like what on earth do you think they were thinking during... really any major event that happens to the great spirit robot. Apparently during the reformation of spherus magna, the Zyglak were still being isolationist and were not evacuated from the robot. so they just sorta lived in the wreckage until forced not to be. It's honestly kinda fascinating to imagine their perspective in all that. and like... what they were up to while alone in there...
but yeah like the degree to which they exist should make them like a massive part of the worldbuilding as a whole. but they just aren't. they're an anecdote in a story that they exist beside. I bet a lot of people might not even know they exist. there's probably a whole ass society just happening over there just entirely unmentioned.
