I know, it could be obvious and a silly question, but did the TSO cut down Lariska’s left arm because she lost the Toa-Dark Hunter War or because of something else?
In-story, Lariska had both arms before the war erupted and still had when it ended, and we only saw her with the mechanical arm after the war ended, but I don’t want to add this information to Lariska’s BIONICLEsector01 page without permission and confirmation.
BIOSector already says this is why she lost her arm, and does give a citation for it, although I wrote that book so long ago that I would have to go back and look to see if I specifically stated losing her arm was her punishment. I would be surprised if I did, since LEGO would have had a hard time approving something like that.
I don’t think BS01 is correct in this case. The second encyclopedia says that at some point between Hakann and Vezok’s recruitment and the Toa-Dark Hunter War, Lariska angered the Shadowed One and lost her arm as punishment.
