The Rock lion was one of the fan-made Rahi that was accepted into canon alongside Tahtorak, however its appearance was never canonized. It’s captured my imagination since though. A majestic lion powerful enough to defeat a Toa in battle, and all we knew about it was a name, and the fact that the tips of its mane could grow red hot! Well, no need to wonder anymore, here it is, in all its 400+ piece glory!
I also created a Matoran I named Lumune, with the hope of introducing both her and the Rock Lion (name pending, open to suggestions) to the BZPRPG, provided the mods allow it. Here they are together:
I already had a backlog of MOCs to share before I started posting them here, I spent a whole day making the Rock Lion, and another day after that tweaking it.
Oh, I made the instructions in a couple of hours. The trick is to basically de-construct it with the Step Before button. Or is it the Step After button? I can never remember. But one of them basically asks you to build the thing, but the other lets you just take apart what’s already there and is muuuuuch easier to use. You can also bind a bunch of pieces together into one sub-model, which I did for the legs and parts of the mane to save time.
gives off strong Artorias and Sif vibes.
