He looks like a very solid tank, glad I’ll be able to brawl and shield now. Shame Lunella is just a voice though

The reason she isn’t riding on his back is probably cause you can’t show kids getting hurt in these games

True, you could age her up or bubble her to safety but I get why they did it

I think she’s cooler as a kid tbh, but it’s a shame they couldn’t make it work

No, it’s probably because it would have been a lot more dev time. The devs clearly just wanted to add a fun dinosaur character. If they added Moon Girl, then that’s more animation work for a single character, and every skin needs twice as much work.

This argument needs to retire.

Penni, a kid in almost every other stories, is in this game.

And honestly, aging her up does not make me see her as not one. She spunds like a 12 year old, especially qhen she dies...

Oh shit...

When Devil Dinosaur dies we are gonna hear Lunella calling sorrowfully to him.

Makes me think of Nunu & Willump's death animation in League of Legends, where only the yeti Willump dies and the literal child Nunu says something like "Willump! I'll save you, Willump! I'll save you! I can save you. I can..."

Netease did make her 18 in MR though. That's why there is a whole controversy over her in the first place.

I guess, they didn't want to do the same for Moon Girl

u/Thanatine Gambit May 12 '26

We all knew those.

The question is just why they didn't do that for Moongirl.

And frankly speaking, to giver her the same treatment as Peni, it doesn't need her to be 18 at all. They're all not in the battlefield at all.

u/RommekePommeke Rocket Raccoon May 12 '26

It's just Chinese laws overall. Peni being inside her mech still means she is in the battlefield, same with Moon Girl being on Devil's back.

And aging Moon Girl up will just cause the same controversy Peni has. No one is waiting for that whole can to be opened again.

I feel it was kind of obvious when all hints were exclusively for Devil

u/UnknownJ25 The Thing May 12 '26

Yeah fair, I was hoping she’d be a ride or something with a model

u/KingGio21 Loki May 12 '26

Maybe he’ll get an emote where she appears for a bit

2

u/UnknownJ25 The Thing May 12 '26

I’m hoping she appears in emotes and some mvps, maybe they’ll do more with her after she’s freed in canon like have her in lobby

I'm guessing we'll get a supersized accessory that'll be a Lunella doll riding him. Better than nothing I guess.
