Ignis, Glatorian of the Fire Tribe.

She fights like an Iron Tiger. All pieces exist in these colors.

Before the banishment of the Earth Tribe… Before the deception of the Element Lords… Before the very ground beneath their feet was shattered by the ceaseless war… There was an impossible mask, and six forgotten warriors.

In the wooded regions of Bara Magna, the insular and mysterious Earth Tribe maintained a millennia-old feudal society of farmers and knight, ruled over by matriarchal queens. These knights, revered across Spherus Magna for their fighting skills and supposedly unbreakable honor code, mostly guarded the borders of their kingdom and protected the shipments of grain they sent across the planet to feed the other seven tribes. A few, however, wandered far beyond their queen’s domain, searching for meaning, glory, and purpose in the Great Barren.

One such knight — a young and ambitious warrior named Koric — was passing through the southern jungle when he encountered Ferrux, Venna, and Oris camped out in a small clearing just off the main road. Believing them to be a raiding party, he attacked the group and almost overpowered them before Venna managed to stun and subdue him. Quickly realizing his mistake, Koric swore fealty to the lady of the Black Spire Mountains and swore to protect her and her companions on their way to the Great Beings. But Oris, more accustomed to deception than his new “friends,” felt there was something about this stranger that none of them should trust…

Forgotten Warriors: 4/6

Cakutus, the Living Thornax

The Secondary Glatorian of Team Jungle, Cakutus was a controversial pick by Monma, for while Jungle Vorox are allowed in Bota Magna civilization, ancient prejudices still exist. The Primary of Jungle stood by her choice, however, and it has paid off in many victories for Team Jungle. A defensive juggernaugt despite his lean frame, Cakutus' barbed chitinous armor makes it hard for opponents to attack him without hurting themselves. Furthermore he has the unorthadox tactic of throwing Thornax by hand, using them more akin to grenades or caltrops than launcher ammo. Given this means their flight isn't simply a straight line or predicable arc, his opponents can quickly find themselves backed into a prickly cage. This defensive, long game method of fighting pairs well with Monma's grappling reach, making the pair a complex duo in double battles.

------- Malum, the Hell-Forged -------

Malum has always been one of my favorite Glatori-No... Favorite Bionicle sets as a whole. Up there with Brutaka, Keetongu, and Pridak.

I tried to revamp him in a way that exaggerated his proportions to really focus on those amazing claw pieces. I always imagined him catapulting molten heaps of rock and slag at his opponents.

Behind him, of course, is his fellow disgraced Glatorian, Strakk!

Hell of a Night

The full explanation of the GSR as told by Telus, Silex, and Ganzer to the lovely couple isn’t going to be in the fic itself (it’d be way too long and bog down the pacing), so here is a silly(ish) doodle to make up for it.

You're in luck you kinda got both. Maybe they should take their training somewhere more private next time

(as per usual, borrowing barsom-fearce's designs for agori/glatorian)
