Description
Who or what is Annona? Simply put, Annona is an ancient entity, one who predates Spherus Magnan civilization as we know it, one who only a few know of her existence, and one who even fewer comprehend her powers or her motivations. Some of her most noteworthy achievements include nearly wiping out the Iron Tribe of Spherus Magna in a disaster that would later become known as the Dreaming Plague, playing a joke on the Skrall by giving the women psionic abilities and watching the fallout between them and the men, later abducting said female Skrall and turning them into her personal puppets, and inspiring the individuals who would later become revered as the Great Beings into creating the Matoran Universe and everything inside. After the death of Makuta Teridax, Mata Nui electing to make himself dormant, and the Great Beings she’d made apparently having had dispersed, Annona resurfaced, ready to wreck havoc on Spherus Magna again. She was ultimately stopped during a skirmish with a strange golden warrior and an unlikely survivor of the Dreaming Plague, with whom she compromised to leave their world alone in return for a new world to feed on.

So I made this MOC in September 2021, and boy was she challenging. I normally start designing my MOCs from the bottom-up, but I knew that the torso was going to give me the most challenges, given my mental image of this character, so I started there (believe it or not, it's mostly based around a Metru torso). As with most of my MOCs, I'm pleased to report that this figure is 100% buildable in real life (and I have actually done so!), but she will require a stand simply because her legs/lowermost tentacles can't possibly hope to carry her weight.
