User blog:MarieBilly Archimedes Shears/Lunar Boss and Lunar Update Ideas

Hey, guys! Today, I'd like to share my ideas on the fabled "Lunar Update," as well as the "Lunar Boss." We all know the Lunar Update is supposed to end Terraria and begin Terraria 2. This means it's gonna be HUGE, since the developers would probably want to keep us occupied, while T2 is still in development. Could the Lunar Boss, which I am codenaming Luna, be Cthulhu, an idea believed by some to be scrapped? We all know since Luna will be the final boss (probably), it will be extremely powerful. We're talking being able to summon other bosses. The moon has always played a valuable role in Terraria. The phases affect certain things, such as exclusive items from Vendor NPCs, the Halloween-themed Pumpkin Moon, and the dread Blood Moon (also Frost Moon). Let's think. The Blood Moon could be Luna's rage, and Luna could be telepathically linked with all monsters, including innocent Bunnies, Goldfish, and Birds. This rage may telepathically rub off on monsters, causing them to corrupt and become much more aggressive. Since the Pumpking is a Pumpkin Moon exclusive boss, it could be a form of Luna's rage, or one of it's minions. The Mourning Wood (also a Pumpkin Moon boss) could be a hyper-corrupted tree, caused by Luna. Luna seems to have power over everything evil in Terraria, and even some innocent creatures, as I mentioned before. This brings us to my next phase of the theory, the Frost Moon. Christmas, as we know, is the purest and holiest time of year. Everything, and everyone is happy. This makes Luna angry, as happiness spreads love, not evil. This is why it created the Frost Moon, to make Christmas look evil, and ruin Christmas and Santa Claus's good name, causing people to lose faith in them, and hate Christmas. Santa put a stop to this, by sealing all this hate and negativity in a box, the Naughty Present. If it were to be opened, all evil would be released. This would awaken the Frost Legion, and corrupt Christmas elements, such as a Christmas Tree becoming Everscream, Santa's sleigh becoming Santa-NK1, and much more, such as zombified elves. The Ice Queen is known to be the equivalent of Pumpking for a Frost Moon, possibly making it another form of Luna's rage, and/or a minion of it. It seems Luna is using it's power over the moon to it's advantage, by using it to spread hate and evil, but why does it want to do this? Was it born like that? Is it cursed like the Old Man was cursed by Skeletron? Could there be a Solar Boss that opposes it, which is a spreader of goodness? We will have to wait patiently for the Lunar Update to find out...

More coming soon!
