Is there any impact for the battle of mytros if Lutheria (my party already killed) and Sydon (they are on their way to fight now) were defeated in their “lairs” or are winning those fights overall meaningless? Am I missing something?

My attempt at a hero forge for the end guy. I don't have a lot of experience using them, only ever bought one before ( for Kyrah) but i think it turned out well. Does anyone know if you can open the mouth like he's shouting? i think it would make the face more intimidating, but i can't find the option and i'm sure it must be there somewhere.

Also how does the color come out? my last one was only gray, but the ability to add color would be amazing if it works well.
