How did moon lord loose his legs?

[CERO]

i'm curious to see your theories. (you can post weird ♥♥♥♥ too)

[DragonicPixel]

Better question should be, why don't Diglett and Dugtrio show their legs? Or their bodies in a matter of fact?
Well, to not get off topic, let's just say Chthulu and the Moon Lord were having a fight on who should be in Terraria, and Chthulu chopped off the Moon Lord's legs with his tentacles.

the moonlord....got his name for a reason he used to liv eon the moon and he liked to sit in the craters...but then you summon and rip his body from his legs an dthat why hes trying to kill you cause you ripped his legs off...the end

He realised he could fly and doesn't need legs and decided to try and confuse his victims and/or make people under estimate him by removing them.

You're assuming that he ever had legs to begin with. Look at some of the other bosses. They're just parts. One boss is only an eye, another is two eyes joined together, another is just a brain, and two bosses are the top half of a skeleton. The Moon Lord looks very much like Cthulhu. It's definitely not a coincidence. It could be an aspect of his mind. Perhaps the bosses I listed are all manifestations of the mind of Cthulhu to some extent. Perhaps some of the normal enemies are too, while many others may have been created through corruption by Cthulhu's influence.

But that's just a theory. A game theory. :claugh:

I've lost a bit of respect for Game Theory after his Undertale theory.

Yeah, right.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. I'll assume it's sarcasm.

The devs them self said that Moon Lord isn't Cthulhu. Also, Moonlord is blue and comes from space, Cthulhu is green and comes from the ocean.

obviously the moonlord was hungry. He tried to eat his legs one day, but cthulu ate them first. this caused cthulu to get a tummy ache, and he blew up. each piece of cthulu developed a mind of its own and became its own being. this is why you never see cthulu whole.
Because cthulu ate moonlords legs, the moonlord got upset and used his eye hands to try to steal the players legs. He despawns when you die because he has legs now, and he is happy.

And maybe when you re-summon him, it chops off his legs and the Moon Lord tries to steal yours again.

He doesn't have legs because he'd look quite stupid with them.

Something that we can be sure is the fact that when he had legs these were the days for him (if you get what i'm saying)

No. They said he's more like a brother. Not his brother. Like all the lovecraftian elder gods

And like the plumber's hat isn't Mario's hat.

That's entirly different.

The plumber's hat is an obvious reference

Moonlord has obviously different features from Cthulhu and the devs them selves said that he is like a brother to Cthulhu.
