“
When our civilization was at its peak, the moon became home to some of the Core's pet projects. Among them, a plan to eradicate all life as we know it. By ramming the moon into Amphibia's surface.
”

—King Andrias, "The Hardest Thing"

**Amphibia's red moon** is the lunar body that orbits the world of Amphibia. It stayed in the background for most of the series, but at the end of the episode "All In", it began to plummet towards the planet after being controlled by the Core as its final gambit. It was destroyed by Anne during "The Hardest Thing", saving Amphibia.

## Appearance

Unlike Earth's moon, Amphibia's moon is red as if it were going through a lunar eclipse.

While under the Core's control, it gained countless orange eyes with yellow pupils with a bigger eye at its center, while also gaining thrusters behind it.

## Background

The Moon was once a normal quality of Amphibia like any other moon. Somewhere around 1,000 years ago, when Newtopia was at its peak, the Core was able to achieve access to the Moon, where it inserted cybernetic structures and stored various "pet projects" inside the moon, converting it into a massive superweapon, to be a final resort in case its plans to take over other worlds failed.

Centuries later, when Sasha frees Marcy from the control of the Core, the helmet escapes from the Newtopian Castle and blasts off onto the Moon, since it failed to take over Earth and Amphibia. On landing, the helmet inserts itself into a port and activate the moon's machinery. Now in control of the moon, the Core descends to Amphibia as its final gambit.

Anne, with the help of Valeriana, grants her friends and herself their full calamity powers, so they could help push the moon back, but it ultimately fails as neither Sasha and Marcy are used to their calamity powers. The situation looking bleak, Anne uses her second plan that Mother Olm had previously informed her about and unleashes all the calamity gems' power on the moon, which would come at the cost of Anne's life, but she would later be revived by the creator of the calamity gems, the Guardian. After this, the moon explodes into nothing but fragments.

## Trivia

* The moon is the first object that is visible at the beginning of "Anne or Beast?".
* The moon appears in several posters of the series.
	+ This could imply the moon being an important plot point of the series finale was planned from the start.
* In some episodes, a white moon appears. It is possible that it is a different moon or maybe the same moon that changed color to white like it does to blue in the non-canon episode "The Shut-In!".
* Even though it is destroyed during "The Hardest Thing", the moon is seen during the episode's epilogue credits.
	+ An explanation to this is that Amphibia may have more than one moon, as this could be a different moon, maybe even the white one seen in some episodes.
	+ Another explanation could be that it is from a flashback, as the shot is identical to the second exterior shot of the Plantar Farm from the series premiere. This is further backed up by the fact that the Plantar Farm in the shot doesn't include Hop Pop's avocados.
* The moon was already shown falling into Amphibia in "The Core & The King" through Leif's vision as a warning of the gems.
* The moon was foreshadowed to fall into Amphibia in the *Chibi Tiny Tales* short "Quit Bugging Me", in which Sprig accidentally latches his tongue to the moon and pulls it towards the ground.
* In reality, the moon wouldnt've been able to collide with Amphibia as upon crossing the planet's "Roche limit", it would've been torn apart by gravitational tidal forces to form a ring system.
