So are all lusus a little bit different to their Alternian counter parts? Because I’m wondering why moth mum is so small compared to Kanaya’s mother grub lusus?

Sorta!

So I did give all the dancestors different lusi- some vary more than others. Some are COMPLETELY different, while some are just lightly modified from their counterparts.

Firstly, I feel like the mother grub specifically makes sense to be Fuck Huge, given they're meant to do little more than help trolls reproduce.

Secondly, I REFUSE to believe that all these gigantic lusi would've been able to raise little baby grubs. It just doesn't make sense logistically.

Thirdly, it was a little accidental. While redesigning, I was trying to make them a little more reasonably sized (compared to their charge) and that just sorta ended up like that.

It's sorta retcon, sorta incidental. Don't think about it too hard.
