# Sonic Frontiers theories
|
|
|
|
Some theories I have about Sonic Frontiers, that I wrote down here to get them off my brain. They're mostly about the backstory shown in Frontiers about the ancients and stuff like that.
|
|
|
|
## The Chao and the Ancient
|
|
|
|
In Sonic Frontiers, it's revealed that the Ancient looked like Chaos, and that their last members were mutated to an "unrecognizable form". It's assumed (and afair confirmed by writer Ian Flynn) that it's implied that the Chao are the mutated form. The theory I have about their exact relationship is that the Chao are a form of [neoteny](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoteny), where they are ancient that are "stuck" in their larva form (but can still reproduce).
|
|
|
|
This would mean that the (Neutral) *Chaos Chao* form is some resurgence of adult traits, and that a part of Chaos mutations are a resurgence of these adult traits.
|
|
|
|
Some question it would mean are :
|
|
- Are dark/angel chao another mutation unrelated to the neoteny ?
|
|
- Would this mean that we could get mutations that create a "Dark Chaos" and "Angel Chaos" ?
|
|

## The Ancient are the First Great Civilisation
|
|
|
|
In Sonic Battle, we learn that the Gizoids have been created by a groupe called the "Forth Great Civilisation". This tend to make us think that there were three other *great civilisations* before, and my theory is that the Ancients are the first one.
|
|
|
|
My theory is that the "Great Civilisations" told by Gerald are the one that have some connection to the Chaos Emerald, and the Ancient would be the first. A potential second oen could be the creator of the Gaia Temple. From Flynn's bumblekast, we know that the Ancient haven't built the Gaïa Temple, even if there are some similarities in architecture.
|
|
|
|
It could be possible that the creator of the Gaïa Temple got inspiration from the design of the Ancients Ruins and created their own way to harvest the Chaos Emeralds power.

## The Master Emerald doesn't come from Earth
|
|
|
|
I feel that even if the Master Emerald is shown as being on earth by the Ancient, I don't think it come from Earth either. It's insinuated that they found her on the ground, which seems to go in the direction of not having a species that were able to handle it yet (see my theories about the Ancient being the First Great Civilisation).
|
|
|
|
But it's possible that the Master Emerald went to Earth from an unknown origin, which would explain why they found it lying on the ground, without much use of its power. Another possibility would be that the Chaos Emerald AND the Master Emerald comes from the same origins and where separated on some point. |
