New bosses, maybe?

I was just looking at a reported bug on the ToT beta, where @fpx007 said that during new moon, the shadow pieces won't spawn at their respective chess pieces if the pieces are made of moon shards.

Then @ScottHansen changed the status to closed and said: "As designed, for now..."

I don't play the beta, so I don't know of I'm missing something here, but this totally sounds like the moon shard chess pieces will spawn new bosses. I'm guessing that since the moon seems to be total opposites of nightmares, these supposedly new bosses will be giant ghost fairy things, or just something opposite of giant nightmare creatures.

And if I am right, will they drop something that you have to use in order to unlock something, or use in another boss fight (like the shadow pieces dropping the heart that's used in the fuelweaver fight)?

What do you guys think?

It definitely makes sense that Shadows don't spawn from the glass since it's shown to have anti-shadow properties. 

The lil nod by Scott is a curious bit though.

Could always feed into the idea that we'll eventually get a Fuelweaver-Moon equivalent. Maybe instead of having the supposed mind of the "Ancient King (Staff Wielder)" it'll have the mind of the "Ancient Queen (Torch Wielder)".

That'd be a bit too much of a reskin for my taste but you never know.

Could do something else to the statues, given the conflict between the shadows and the lunar material. New item?

Or messing with them on a full moon could 'give life' to the statues. Maybe a way to spawn certain mobs at convenience.

What about destroying the sea bones to get sea fossils.After you build a skeleton on the see and reviving it using "moon heart" it will summon leviathan-like sea boss
