"Wait a hot second, so it is real? There is a true hex that exists? Honestly we would have thought that it would look more... imposing? Grandiose? Awe inspiring? Not some weird bee-ant thing with floating ice hands. We also don't seem to have a name for this thing also, with mentioned records of the hex seemingly being destroyed at some point. This thing breaks all known laws of the monster world! What is even happening here? We mean... yeah it does seem quite friendly, but... this thing is the hex? I mean whatever the elements say we suppose. We give up."
My Interpretation of how the elements and the Hex work.
K, so I just need to yap about something, and this I think deserves it's own chapter, why not.
I know that apparently "Wubbox is the Hex, they said it in the Perplex-Lore announcement!", but I don't like it for multiple reasons, I've been thinking about the elements anyways, and this is just for fun so let's go!
Since I decided in the last minute to add the Hex too to this, let's start with why I think Wubbox isn't the Hex:
> 1; Multiple Wubboxes -mainly Epics- don't require any fire monsters to be activated.
> 2; I find it boring. That's it.
So if Wubbox isn't a hex, then what is it and what is the Electricity Element/Supernatural Class?
Remember how the Ethereal Elements parallel the Naturals? Plasma > Plant, Shadow > Cold, all that Jazz?
-> Electricity is the same, paralleling Fire and the Supernatural class/Electricity Element being VERY simmilar to the Ethereals!
-> This then would explain why Wubboxes can be found in so many places and how the Epics are able to take on traits from their home islands!
-> We have 12 Celestials, come on, pairs of 2, it makes sense.
So then what do I think is the Hex?
Boring awnser: there is no Hex in the canon of MSM.
Actual awnser: Any quint can become a Hex, but only temporarily and under very specific conditions.
-> Example: Mimic needs to get a bunch of Relics to temporarily gain the fire element. In my interpretation, this is why it is the only Natural monster who requires Relics to be purchased. I like to think it eats them, being able to digest amber with no problems and this is how it can gain the Fire Element for a while. (This as of now only works with regular Mimic, for other HC reasons.)
-> This would also allow, all the Hex variations to look different, mostly keeping their original Quint form that gets details resembling the temporarily gained element, giving way to many interesting and cool designs!
But hold on. I said all Quints can become a Hex.
Yupp! And that includes BeMeebEth too!
If the Supernatural Class/Electricity Element is simmilar to the Ethereals, then BeMeebEth could take it up as a 6th Element.
How would that even happen?
Hmmm... Either Galvana gives a hand and "blesses" BeMeebEth with it or smtg like that.
Or (my preferred idea) it would probably require something that would give a reason to remove a Wubbox's core from it's main body, (click here for more info on those) then give that core a reason to activate and send power/Elemental properties over to BeMeebEth.
And let's be honest, none of those reasons would be positive things.
I also think, since Ethereal Epic Wubbox is well.... the Ethereal Epic Wubbox (wow, I'm so smart), its core would be the most compatible with the Ethereal Elements and BeMeebEth.
Think about it for a moment and that can open the door for some angst potential :]
sometimes i wish that we had an official hex in msm. like I know wubbox is supposed to be the hex technically but like. i want an actual hex. with all the natural elements including fire. not only because of the potential it has but also because that would be literally me bro 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
