I didn’t catch the line of dialogue but yes, I heard someone comment that apparently Occelus’ parents were referenced. So I guess Gameloft was right unfortunately (but I did mention the possibility of some future episode confirming it in that post you replied to).

Also, I feel the need to point out that any person who likes the idea of Chrysalis being Ocellus’ true mother can always just headcanon this Changedling as Ocellus’ adoptive mother.

It is. But for now, we leave it as is.
 
@Magic Man  
That too.
 
I always had the headcanon that any female Changeling can reproduce but it’s harder for non-Queens to reproduce so the Queen is the mother of most (but not all) the Changelings in the brood. I had this headcanon even before we got the Changedlings, mostly so I could potentially have Changeling OCs that could be mothers but not be the queen.

And let’s not forget, Chrysalis is no longer Queen, she’s fled her throne and country. If it is the case she’s the single brood mother, then who’s laying the eggs now?
 
It’s possible writers may have decided to just leave the matter of changeling biology vague rather than address it directly.

It’s still possible someone from Gameloft just saw that clip and was like “there’s two older ones, so they must be the parents”. I’ll wait until either someone asks at a panel or something is said on the show.

And even if Chrysalis did lay the eggs that doesn’t mean the changeling in this image isn’t Ocellus’s mom. Changeling society completely changed when Thorax took over so it’s possible that the changelings formed individual families with at some point. We just don’t know enough to say for sure.

@soundtea  
Yeah, IIRC, I believe Jim Miller (or was it Josh Haber?) only stated that Chrysalis was “probably” Ocellus’s mother when put on the spot on Twitter, saying he wasn’t exactly sure how family would work in a society of part insect creatures, basically.
 
Well, actually, now that I think about it, I believe his words were more along the lines of perhaps they’re all related, due to insect biology and all.

Chrysalis watching the new members of her army hatch doesn’t actually imply anything by itself.
 
And they didn’t use ‘ incorrectly. When showing possession for a name that ends in s either ‘ or ‘s can be used. It’s kind of like how fish and fishes are both plural forms of the word fish.

The fanon could have easily have become canon like so many others
 
And it was implied anyway.
 

 
Anyway, unless “Occelus’s Mom” shows up in a future episode, this can just be dismissed as some Gameloft weirdness.
 
Gameloft doesn’t even understand how ’ works. When a character name ends in a “s”, there isn’t supposed to be another “s” after the ’
 
It should be “Occelus’ Mom”

I just wish they didn’t destroy the character collections by replacing the 3D models with these(and this is the nicest thing I can possibly say about them) lazily made stock 2D art pieces.

Remember to not confuse fanon with canon.
