BoomyGordo Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 We all know his leg is in the dojo lab. Ever taken a close look at it? the ribcage, spine, hip bone, thighs, calf/shin and feet(fused togeather) Its a huminoid bone structure but... the size of it is inhuman. What could have gotten infested that was that size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xShadowsaur Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Well, if you look into it you'll find that he has been "absorbing biomass" for centuries. He probably is a chimera and golem of flesh that has been doing nothing but growing, conquering and becoming more powerful for literally hundreds of years.

Brimir Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) The dimensions are totally off in general. Notice how one of the heads is a Corpus bucket helm - only gigantic. What if that's an Orokin body :DWe don't know if the Orokin were really humans. Actually, we can say with 99% certainty that they were because the Tenno, Grineer and Corpus alike are all humans and they are the descendants of the Orokin (or in the case of Tenno, they are Orokin).

Sapphirya Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Looking at the old concept art, Lephantis was supposed to be much smaller, and then the bodies fused into it would fit proper proportions. The current Lephantis is just scaled up several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, we can say with 99% certainty that they were because the Tenno, Grineer and Corpus alike are all humans and they are the descendants of the Orokin (or in the case of Tenno, they are Orokin). Wait, but there is no lore supporting what you said, here http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Orokin says that the Orokin created the Technocyte virus, which created the Tenno, and also the Infested.

azour Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 We need more bosses like Lephantis Infested really are an interesting faction We could see creatures and beings impossible to find today that got infested,i think that thats where the devs can go full force with their imagination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know that the Tenno are descendants of the Orokin. The technocyte virus was a weapon. It was not responsible for the creation of the Tenno. Ember's and Excalibur's codex entries imply that the Void twisted any who entered, and those who survived were the Tenno. It even says on that page under "Technocyte Virus."

The current Lephantis is just scaled up several times. actually they wanted it bigger, and bigger, and bigger... that's just a concept art... DE's final goal was a massive boss. Also It could be a sentient, or the infestation took a corpus body and stretched it the hell out, or could possibly be an orokin that was mutated into a huge lumbering beast, and fused into a giant being called lephantis. The exact details on how the monstrosities were made is unknown, but I imagine it was just another reason on the Tenno's list to wipe out the Orokin.

That assumes the military that experimented upon the child were Orokin, for all we know they could be the vassal humanity re-created by the Orokin their "cold-and-gold emperors" We don't currently know how tightly integrated humanity and the Orokin were, or if they were the same thing. We do know that the Void is the source of the Warframe powers (somehow because our Tenno get _their_ powers from the Warframes) We _don't_ know how the Technocyte virus is involved with the Tenno (We know that Technocyte material is used in the construction of Warframes though) Edited March 18, 2014 by SilentMobius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brimir Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) True we don't know. But we can make educated guesses. Everything points towards them being humans. (somehow because our Tenno get _their_ powers from the Warframes) Warframes do not work that way. Possibly Warframes amplify their powers, and act as lifesupport for their diseased/mutated forms. Tenno are more than capable of using their powers without one, as demonstrated by child Ember melting half of someone's face just after having returned from the Void. Could you please link me a source to this info? First off, stop going to the Wiki for lore. Everyone and their grandma can edit those. It is nothing official and is just as unreliable as anything you'll read on the forums. You might as well be linking me to user posts on the forums. If you first read Excalibro's Codex entry, and then Embers, you get a pretty good overview of how the Tenno were created. The Story Thus Far: The Orokin were involved in a war with an enemy known only as "The Sentients". The Orokin were on the brink of extinction at the hand of the Sentient. In desperation, they sent a number of their people into the Void. The ones who returned were afflicted by the Technocyte virus and were "twisted" but had gained powers. The Warframes were built for them, possibly to amplify their powers and possibly to act as lifesupport. The Tenno were trained an eventually won the war against The Sentients. Later, for whatever reason, the Tenno turned on the Orokin - a conflict that eventually lead to the collapse of the Orokin era. The Tenno, for whatever reason, cryogenically froze themselves. Much later, the Grineer and Corpus emerged from the chaos of the collapse and are fighting for control of the Sol system. To best the other, they are looking for Orokin technology - neither the Grineer or Corpus actually have their own tech, it is all reverse-engineered from old Orokin tech so finding it is top priority. The Grineer/Corpus find the sleeping Tenno and realize that the Warframes are highly advanced pieces of Orokin tech. They start to hunt down the sleeping Tenno for this reason. The Lotus starts to wake the sleeping Tenno in order to warn them of this and to rally them to put up a fight. Enter the tutorial mission.

Tekky Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) What? Did the lore get changed without me knowing? This is still Dark Sector lore-friendly, right? If that's the case, Hayden Tenno started the Orokin era of humanity after being infected with the technocyte virus during the events of dark sector, becoming the first Tenno (specifically becoming the first excalibur). This makes it obvious that humanity first created the virus (and it was indeed used as a weapon), but some people who were immune to it (couldn't feel pain, specifically) were able to take advantage of the metallic skin created. This EXTREMELY heavily implies that Tenno are entirely human, or at least were at one point. Like, that was extremely clear at one point. If Dark Sector lore as been completely overridden, I'd like to see where/when it was changed. Edited March 18, 2014 by Tekky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-.DawnofNSSD.- Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Maybe it was a Corpus, i mean we don't know how big they can get. The average Corpus seems to be as tall or taller than most all the frames and Techs/Guardians are straight up giants. Who's to say they never get bigger than Techs?speaking of this..... is it even explained why they are so huge? or are we Tenno just small? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
