1Hey GregF, just one question. 2Are there only three types of Skrall that exists on Bara Magna? 3Three as in the leader class, the special arms class, and the soldier class? 4Thanks.

5Since I only need three classes this year, that is all I am creating this year. If I need more in future, I will make more.

6Sounds like we'll be on Bara Magna a while.

7Yayz. Weird that he would reveal this.

Erebus Mar 18, 2009, 12:36 AM

1I recall someone asking about when we would find out why/how the Vorox/Zesk regressed. GregF said something about 2010. I don't have the quote since it got lost when BZP went down. 2Anyways, future doesn't necessarily mean next year. Could mean later this year. We still got plenty of time for GregF to change his decision.

3I thought GregF said the Vorox regressed just because that thing can happen to civilizations when struck by a disaster.

Erebus Mar 17, 2009, 6:50 PM

1Lol, I don't even remember what was said, but GregF definitely mentioned something about 2010. Whether that was a bad quote or not, I don't know. Maybe there was a deeper reason? It's unfortunate I can't back up my claim. :-/

1Hello, Sir. I have some questions for you.
21) How is Skrall pronounced? It is for BS01, so it's, sadly, not good with "It's pronounced like wall". It have to be like (for example) "skr-ALL".
32) Well, Tarduk obviously returned to the south before the Great Tournament. So my question is: Did Tarduk return from his journey to the north just before the Great Tournament, or some days or even weeks before?I understand if you can't answer this, because it may be future storyline.
43) Are the female Skrall included in the Skrall army?
53A) If so, do they have different armors and weapons?
63 If not, do they wear armor and/or weapons normally?
73C) If yes to 3B, do the armor and/or weapons look different from the armor and/or weapons of the male Skrall?

» Click to show spoiler «

84) Are there female elite Skrall?

95) Were there female leader-class Skrall?
106) Do the leader-class Skrall vary in secondary color? (For example: Blue and Black, Red and Black, Yellow and Black)
117) I'm quite sure that you'll say "Can't answer this, future storyline", so I'll be surprised if you really can answer this, but... Do Agory make up the main population of the BIONICLE Universe?
12I'm sorry if there are any grammatical errors and/or spelling errors in this text, I've only been studying English for about three years.

131) Take the "skr" sound (which is similar to the "scr" in "scratch") and attach it to the "all" sound from "ball." It is all one syllable, so there is no emphasis on one part or another as in your example. If BS01 needs phonetic spelling, I am sure they can figure that out for themselves using a dictionary. 142) Right before 153) No, they're not. 165) No 176) No 187) I'm not sure what you are referring to as the "BIONICLE universe." They make up the majority population on Bara Magna, but that is one planet in a universe, not an entire universe.

11) Can you confirm that the Matoran found in the VNOG files is Dezalk?

2I had nothing to do with VNOG and really don't remember any discussions regarding that. It's possible I confirmed that at the time, but the VN story is from 2006 and I don't remember things from that far back.

1Hello again, Sir. I have some questions for a friend, we had a little of a argue, so we need confirmation.
21) What are Scarabax Beetles and (when) will they actually appear and not just get mentioned?
32A) Is the Skrall in Glatorian Arena the same one that Gresh fought?
42 If so, will the Skrall's get a name?

5And this is a follow-up question on my last set of questions.
67) I asked:"I'm quite sure that you'll say "Can't answer this, future storyline", so I'll be surprised if you really can answer this, but... Do Agory make up the main population of the BIONICLE Universe?"
7You answered:"I'm not sure what you are referring to as the "BIONICLE universe." They make up the majority population on Bara Magna, but that is one planet in a universe, not an entire universe."
8With "BIONICLE Universe", I am referring to the universe/space in which the Endless Ocean Planet and Bara Magna are, and in which Spherus Magna once was in.
9Thanks .
10-Toa Pohatu Mata

111) Yes, they will appear. They appear in the movie and there will also be a BrickMaster exclusive model of one. 122a) Haven't played the game, so can't speak to that. 132b) No 147) I tend to doubt it. We know Agori live on Bara Magna, and lived on Spherus Magna. We also know there are none at all on the endless ocean planet. So basically we know they are on one planet, and we have no idea what other intelligent life might be out there in this universe. I don't think occupying one world qualifies you as "majority species in the universe."

1Hey Greg, can you tell me how to completly pronounce skrall? Thanks in advance,
2~\|Okajo|/~

3Yes. First you have the "skr" sound, which is like the "scr" in the word "scratch" -- and then the "all" is pronounced like it is in "ball." So you get "Skrall

3Anyway, Greg said that they traveled to Bara Magna; how "travel" is going to be defined remains to be seen. But yeah, they are the same one.

2Do Hydraxon, Lesovikk, and Sarda wear breathing apparatuses in the Pit now, since it has been drained?

3Yes, but they aren't in the Pit now, they left to go help fight in the Destiny War.

5OMG . Why weren't they in DW? Maybe they'll be in ROS .

1Hi Greg A few questions
21) What tribe does Ackar work for?
32) Has Tuma started takeing over Bara Magna in Fall Of Atero or was that just a random attack?
43) Are there Skrall on planets other then Bara Magna?
54) How many Arena Magna fights did Certavus win?
65) would Malum and his Vorox have a better chance at beating some Skrall then a group of Glatorian would?
76) Who is the oldest living Glatorian? 86a) Agori?
9thats all for now thanks for your time

101) Fire 112) No, that is the first strike in his war 123) Well, we aren't telling a story about any other planets at this point, so no idea. 134) Oh, quite a few 145) Not necessarily, no 156) No idea.

16Didnt Greg ( and Raanu in the comic) say the fire tribe had no Glatorian since Malum got exciled

Erebus Mar 20, 2009, 5:06 PM

1One member had asked a question about if there was another Glatorian or not since there was a red Glatorian looking figure in one of the summer sets. Greg indirectly did not say that there was no other Fire Glatorian. And Raanu never said anything about there being no Fire Glatorian. He basically said that they were down one because Malum was exiled.

2Yeah. Malum must have been one of the better Glatorian though.

1Good day Mr Farshtey. I have but one question for you, and I hoped you'd like to answer it

2I was just reading Empire of the Skrall chapter 3, and something struck during the first passage. Here's the sentence, 'Rage grew in his heart for whoever had shackled these beasts'. This obviously means he must care for the Vorox to an extent, but I was wondering

3How much does he care for the Vorox?
4Thank you
5Legend of Toa Siro

6I see Malum as very protective of the Vorox, especially the ones in his tribe. Let's face it, they took him in when his own people cast him out. As a result, he sees more "civilized values" in them than in Agori and Glatorian. Vorox don't lie; they kill only to protect themselves or to get things they need to survive; and they judge others based on something Malum respects, namely strength. So I would compare it to someone who has spent a lot of time with a pack of wild animals, and sees more honesty and nobility in them than he does in people.

7Well, at least we know the strength of the Malum-Vorox relationship

1Hello, sir. I have some questions for you.
2Bara Magna

1. 3Is the word "Magna" possibly Bara Magnan equivalent to the Matoran "Nui"?
2. 4If not, does it mean anything in the language of the Agori?
3. 5What would you call the language spoken spoken by the Agori?
4. 6Was Malum banished before or after the arrival of Skrall?
5. 7If after, has he fought a Skrall in an Arena Match?

8Matoran Universe

1. 9I don't know if this has been confirmed, but at the [url='http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=223442']BZPower topic for BIONICLE languages, it says that it's not been confirmed, so I ask; does the Matoran word "Mata" mean spirit?
2. 10What are Teridax's intentions with attacking Artakha?
3. 11You have said that Mata Nui don't know of Spherus Magna (I think, or was it Bara Magna?), but did he know of Spherus Magna before the Great Cataclysm?

121) Actually, it's the Latin word for "great," which is why we used it. 133) I have no name for their language -- I would probably call it Agori the same way Matoran speak Matoran 144) After 155) Yes, and lost 161) It's never been officially stated that it does, though it is a logical assumption 172) Artakha is a potential threat, given the things that get invented there 183) One would assume so

1Evening Mr. Farshtey. Crazy thing the data loss, huh? 2Questions concerning the biology of Agori and Glatorian I wish to be answered, please: 31. What kinds of mechanical implants would they use? 42. How tall would an Agori or Glatorian be? 53. What color would their blood be? 64. Can they have hair? 7... 85. Can they reproduce?
9Questions about you: 101. Do you have a favorite set? 112a. Do you own all of the sets? 122b. If not, how many? 133. Is there any part of the story that you wished you had never written?
14Thanks in advance.

151) Whatever would benefit them the most. 162) About the same size as Toa/Matoran 173-4) Not something story team has discussed, since it's not relevant to what we're doing 181a) No, not really 192a) No 202b) A smattering of them from past years. Up until last summer, I wasn't living somewhere where there was room to display them, so I didn't buy that many 213) No. The only story event I really disagreed with was Vakama turning bad in 2005, and I didn't "write" that -- it was mandated by the head of the story team, so wasn't my idea.
