Makuta Gantil, the sentry of the southern islands

Name-Gantil
Gender-Male
Kanohi- A Great Delvis, the mask of dulling

With the Delvis, one could cause the opponent to decrease sensitivity in sight, hearing, and pain reception. The opponent would then be more vulnerable to follow up attacks.
Weapon-Gantil was armed lightly, electing to take only a simple halberd that could be imbued with Kraata powers. While considered ugly, it was straightforward and efficient.

Assigned Region-The exact location is unknown, but It was recorded as an island south of Keetongu’s.
Death-Slain by Antroz

Gantil was a powerful Makuta, but he was not considered one of the greats. As Icarax aptly wrote “He is a cunning warrior and a powerful commander. That said, he lacks the sheer drive to ever be considered a potential leader. He is unlikely to advance in our ranks, not because he lacks the power, but rather that he does not care.” He was respected for his efficiency in battle, a calling he took to gladly when Teridax took over.

Gorast stated, “He is as corporeal as he his corpulent. He possesses an air of honor, but still has a battle lust. He is utterly sadistic, and I can respect that. It is a good thing he knows his place.” While he did not create many Rahi, he had a particular fondness for ones with the ability to fly. Wings fascinated Gantil, and he always had them on his body.

Gantil served as a potent warrior in the Brotherhood-Dark Hunter War. He was considered a lieutenant, controlling a squad of up to five makuta at a time. Many Dark Hunters could not stand up to his surprising speed, calculated planning, and the authority he had over his squad mates.
Near the end of the war, his team was sent on a mission to the southern continent. He was going to be reinforced by Antroz, yet in reality his team was just a diversion. While the Dark Hunters were defeated, he lost his squad mates. Enraged, he challenged Antroz to a duel. Even though he lost, he kept fighting longer than most. After his death, Gantil’s island and mask went over to Antroz.

dat thigh gap… haha jk i love the head design but maybe fix up the waist? and the legs seem a bit bare. also nice backstory by the way.

The pics are sadly pretty blurry, but I’ll see, what I can say here.

He definately looks like someone who lives in the Matoran Universe, and I appreciate that. I also like that you went for a custom head. The colour scheme is well distributed and his halberd is simple but captures the look well enough. I just feel like it could be a little longer and have more optical weight and stability to it. Perhaps through Technic hoses around the axles, like I did on my Mutran revamp.
His upper legs could use some more substance, too, I think.

Thanks for participating and I’m looking forward to your next entry!

Are the bohrok eyes his eyes, or are the throwbot eyes his eyes?

11 months late, but the bohrok eyes were sort of flaming horns. Throwbot eyes are the eyes.
