I want to talk about this, but...
Anyone can get a screenshot of their statues, especially in double res? If no one does it by like, tomorrow, I'll grab a screen myself from CS+, it would aid the discussion a bit more.
I have no idea what's up with Halda and Annachponae, but that's why I love it. We know a bit about Miakid and a lot about Date, but not those first two. I think it makes for a great deal of speculative fiction. And I like the implication that the Cave Story universe beyond the caves (the surface) is probably a mish-mash of a ton of different races, because Halda/Annachponae don't seem to be human.
So... is it just me, or does Halda totally seem like a female, and the only female crown bearer? Halda is a feminine name, but I notice that everyone in the fandom as well as the CS wiki refers to Halda with male pronouns. Also, I have no idea if it has any significance, but it literally means "to hold/bear" in old Norse... As in, holding/bearing the crown. That's only kind of sort of fucking awesome.
I have no idea at all about Annachponae. The CS Wiki actually has a solid paragraph on him (it?) but it looks... made up.
EDIT:
Yeah, Halda and Annachponae look like two completely different species to what we've seen in the CS universe. And Halda totally has a feminine build, so I'm sticking to my guns unless WoG says otherwise.
EDIT #2: Wait... Halda's tail and hands look an awful lot like enraged Misery. If her (his?) face was different, I'd be flipping out right about now. New absolutely baseless theory for discussion: Halda's male, was Jenka's husband and is Misery's father. Boom.
EDIT #3: INTERSPECIES SEXING/BABYMAKING YES??? Yeah I'll shut up now.
