Later, on a small island in the swamp, Mutran grumbled over the loss of his shadow leech vat and other equipment, complaining that the conditions were neither efficient nor ideal as he labored over a new creation. Even afraid as Vican was of him, the Matoran confronted the Makuta to ask what he was building, and the eager creator was pleased to show off his work.
