THIS... is actually VERY close to a headcanon of mine. I used to headcanon Venom as being the old Kamerian planet, Eridal (from the Dinosaur Planet beta info that’s been leaked out over the years),that was conquered by the Krazoa (hence all the monkey regalia) but then I changed it to being the original planet of the Krazoa, Aleminach, with the idea that the planet was basically ruined by Kamerian technology, hence why it’s so toxic. Â
I go back and forth on if I want Venom to be Eridal or Aleminach but I’m leaning more or less towards Eridal atm because I like the idea of the Krazoa taking over the old Kamerian homeworld and just overrunning it with their imagery. Makes me think of some of the Dinosaur Planet info that’s been leaked that imply the Krazoa are fake gods.
I do like the idea of Cerinia being Venom, though. That’s a neat take.
Kinda also thinking about Cerinia being Aleminach and old proto-Krazoan tech being around but the one thing that kinda makes it difficult is Krystal doesn’t really know much about the Krazoa until they’re explained to her by the EarthWalker in Krazoa Palace so eh. Going back and forth on that idea too. But that sort of speculation/theorizing is part of the fun for me!

So I’ve been doing some research in my spare time about various mythologies/legends and one thing I stumbled across was the Anunnaki. I was rather taken aback when I heard that name being used because I’ve only ever heard it be used once before and that was in beta dialogue from Star Fox Adventures.
But before you look at the dialogue, let’s back this up and talk about the context of the dialogue because it will make negative sense if you look at it without context. The following dialogue is in reference to a scrapped plot point in Star Fox Adventures, which is known as the Majestic Eight. The Majestic Eight are a series of planets that, if aligned, will unleash a weapon that the Krazoa hope to use to wreck the world. If you’ve played SFAdv, that probably sounds wildly different than how you remember the Krazoa-- you wouldn’t be entirely wrong to think that. In the original script, the Krazoa were actually Not Nice(tm) and were effectively using you in their intergalactic war against some sentient space dragons known as the Kamerians. The climax of the original SFAdv happens when all planets are aligned and, presumably, all Krazoa Spirits have been returned to Krazoa Palace. The dialogue itself talks about the planets within the Majestic Eight.Â
You can view the clip here (which, if you’re interested at all in beta lore stuff, I recommend listening to the full video, it’s really eye-opening as to how much was cut in SFAdv). The line starts at around 1:15:00. Here is a written version:
“Sauria, the Dinosaur Planet. Earth, home to our newest universe members, a very evil race, the humans. Aleminach, our glorious world, it awaits our return. Corneria, your pitiful world, we cannot wait to see it suffer. Nibiru, home to the Nephilim, a land of giants. Eridal, the Kamerians world, soon to be destroyed! Forever! Melqua, a world of water, with rings of gold. The final planet. Selaf, home to the Anunnaki.”
Let’s break this all down.
1. Sauria. A lot of people thought that Dinosaur Planet’s name was retconned/changed to Sauria as per Assault, but after this clip was released, it feels more or less like Bandai Namco was giving a nod to Rareware by changing Dinosaur Planet to Sauria in Assault.
2. Earth. Oof, that’s a doozy and would’ve been a major upset if they had kept it in the game, imo, as it would’ve put Earth and Corneria in the same galaxy. Real neat detail that even the Krazoa thinks humanity is trash. Big Mood, Krazoa.Â
3. Aleminach. Honestly, I got nothing. We don’t really know if this is how the planet’s name is spelled, it’s just a guess from fans at this point. When I searched it, I got my OWN fanfiction writing returned back to me, so I really don’t know if this is supposed to reference anything. Cool idea though, is that the Krazoa aren’t actually FROM Sauria.
4. Corneria. This is pretty self-explanatory, as Corneria is a main planet in basically almost every Star Fox game that exists. I think it only doesn’t show up in Adventures. The implication here is kind of interesting, because it assumes Corneria is by not only Earth (lol) but also Sauria. Corneria’s inclusion is also why I said the Anunnaki were referenced in SFAdv, not in DP. We don’t know what the DP Majestic Eight looks like but I’d wager Corneria wasn’t on the list and Animus (Krystal and Sabre’s original homeworld) probably was.
5. Nibiru. This is where stuff starts getting REALLY interesting, but first a disclaimer: This is delving into mythology that I’m not super familiar with so I am gonna try my darndest to explain it. If this confuses you, great, probably a good idea to Google it. I’m probably confused too. Nibiru is associated to multiple things. The most famous is the Nibiru Cataclysm. This is a doomsday theory that pretty much states sometime in the 21st century, Earth is gonna either smack into some other planet or nearly smack into it. That other planet is known as Planet X or Nibiru. The name “Nibiru” comes from the works of a guy named Zecharia Sitchin, who is largely viewed as a pseudohistorian. Sitchin analyzed old Sumerian and Babylonian myths/texts and came up with the theory that some extraterrestrials had come from this Planet X/Nibiru, which was located beyond Neptune, and these extraterrestrials were the Anunnaki in Sumerian texts. More on that later. The interesting part to me is the grouping of Nibiru with the Nephilim. The Nephilim are relatively unknown in terms of what they are-- some myths portray them as a giants while others portray them as fallen angels or the offspring of humans and angels. I did some quick research on Nibiru and the Nephilim and the results were varied. A few people seem to equate the Nephilim to the Anunnaki and some people seem to disagree, seeing the Nephilim as half-human demigod-like figures while the Anunnaki are proper deities. Both the Nephilim and the Anunnaki have associations to flooding, as the Anunnaki show up in Sumerian mythology right after the Great Flood and the Nephilim show up around the same time as the flood/Noah’s Ark story. The nature of myths is usually convoluted and the Nephilim/Nibiru is no exception to this. It looks like Rareware went with the “giant” route for Nephilim and that much has been made clear with the Majestic Eight dialogue. Nibiru’s popularity has gained its name recognized in several other sci-fi flicks, including Star Trek.
6. Eridal. I actually found nothing on this either. Kind of surprised the land of Kamerians wasn’t called Kameria but eh, whatever. Curious that basically all of the Kamerians are dead at this point but the world is still alive? Maybe the Krazoa left it for their Big Bad Plan...?
7. Melqua. I found a BUNCH OF ROADS IN OREGON.. and that’s it. This planet is actually kind of interesting to me because they stop to describe the planet. If the rings of gold weren’t added, I’d almost wonder if Aquas could fit its description, seeing as this is post-SF being added and Aquas has a suspicious amount of lore to it. Probably looking far into things. Nine rings of gold is super strange though. Tinfoil stretch theory: The only thing I could think of regarding nine rings are the rings of man from Lord of the Rings, the rings that help create the Nazgul. Melqua sounds suspiciously like Melkor. Â
8. Selaf. Couldn’t find anything, to be honest, which was a bit of a disappointment given how much they seemed to dig into the Nibiru/Nephalim thing. The Anunnaki are, as I mentioned briefly before, deities in Sumerian myths that have theories circulating around them that label them as aliens from a planet called Nibiru that came to Earth to harvest gold. No one can really prove this and the theory is shaky at best given lack of proper evidence. Some theories about the Anunnaki are that they were reptilian humanoids-- something that certainly wouldn’t be too out of place in the SF universe. I find it curious that Rareware chose to use the Anunnaki AND the Nephilim given how closely linked they seem to be (some people even saying that they’re just two different names for the same type of being). I wonder what route Rare would’ve gone with the Anunnaki. They couldn’t have been as powerful as the Krazoa or Kamerians, else I think they would’ve shown up in the main conflict? Maybe they were just lizard-like people that really like gold? Who knows.
Anyways, here’s the main takeaway I want you to have from this:
Space dragons, giants, and possible godly reptile-humans that like gold were nearly canon in the SF universe. Same with regular humans.Â
I’m not sure legally what happened to these original planet ideas, but if they do belong to Nintendo, I hope they consider using them in the future.Â
