VARIOUS Q&A ABOUT THE KEYART FEAT. COPIOUS HEADCANONS Q: "You know that Magolor Soul has wings, right?" A: Yes, they're hard to draw, and it's much more horrifying to imagine this melting form emerging from the still-conscious Magolor dragging his body around as it moves. Q: "Is Magolor Soul sprouting from Magolor or floating behind Magolor?" A: Sprouting from Magolor's back via :sparkles: magic :sparkles: . Q: "But Magolor doesn't revert to his normal form until AFTER his Soul is defeated!" A: I personally think this is cooler. Or maybe that's an excuse to not draw his boss form lmfao. Q: "Are the nubbins on Magolor's head his ears?" A: Nope, they're his horns. In my gijinka universe Halcandran [species name; he has never lived on Halcandra but his species originated from there, hence the name] horns are actually soft and squishy, and this is where they store their magic. As their magic grow more powerful, the horns grow longer and more rigid (which is why his horns in his boss form are rigid and don't flop or wiggle around). I know this headcanon makes no anatomical sense, just roll with it. As a side note, Hyness is the same species in my gijinka universe. Q: "Do all the Souls look this terrifying?" A: Yes if the Host cannot control their Soul (e.g. Magolor, Sectonia/Joronia), no if the Host can control their Soul (e.g. Drawcia, Marx, Void/Termina). (Why is Star Dream not mentioned? In my gijinka universe, machines made by the Ancients have Artificial Souls; essentially just a fancy term for an AI piloting a robot that then pilots a ship or clockwork star and goes about its duty serving mortals. So Star Dream Soul is just the AI.) Q: "Is Magolor OK?" A: Bro is despairing. And also probably has a headache from the crown.
I love the art and music of this! Especially his horns.
