Purple Theory is a fanon theory of canon Prodigy first developed by FourSevensRueful.
Overview[]
Within the Prodigy Universe, there are many dangers that make themselves apparent: the threats of mind control caused by the anomalous Order of Influence, the greatest danger to every one of the inhabitants of the islands, imposes itself throughout the world. From the awesome Shadow Blast that caused the dispersal of the Warden Keystones to the minute little Billyfoot Squirrel that greets players with an eerie glare every so often, these hazardous and insidious little things might make a Prodigy lore enthusiast shiver. It is clear from the moment a person sees them that they get insight into the conflict between the "power-hungry" Order and the rest who are unwilling to let them have what they want. To help wizards get an overall idea of what can possibly be linked to the Order, this theory discusses how they can predict objects, symbols, and entities to be belongings, references, or members of this group of major antagonists.

They have clear cuts and look polished, which is unnatural for most gemstones.

It had a single yellow eye encased in the small indentation in one of its rocks (at the moment its head) that was filled by a dark purple space.

The Purple Color in Other Games[]
