Color Scheme

Earlier Subterra Bakugan had a dark brown body with orange highlights. However, along the airing of Bakugan Battle Brawlers, Subterra Bakugan's main body color had been changed into light brown with bronze highlight.

Like the toys, body color of Subterra Bakugan in ball form had changed from dark brown in Bakugan Battle Brawlers (except Hammer Gorem) to light brown in Bakugan: New Vestroia. The Subterra soldier of Vestroia is Clayf. The current soldiers are Gorem, Thunder Wilda, Coredem, Boulderon, and Roxtor.

The Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders color scheme of Subterra is mainly light brown with solid dark brown highlight.

• In Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders, the main Subterra brawlers (Mason, Nurzak, and Jake) were antagonists at some point in the show before being redeemed, and all of them eventually against Barodius to defend Neathia and the Sacred Orb.
  • All three also survive the whole show, whereas at least one major character of the other Attributes die over the course of the show.

Etymology

The symbol of the Subterra attribute is derived from the Han character for Earth, 土 (tsuchi, 土^?). The name comes from the word "subterranean", "sub-" meaning under and "terra" originating from the Latin word tierra, meaning Earth.
