The Cabana was originally just a small shack with a large vault containing Makuta Ynot's spoils of war. This was the main base of operations, and basic hang out/hide away for the Makuta Anima. Though originally its location was kept secret, known only to the Anima, eventually all of Ynot's friends and foes knew where his hide away was. Once Ynot realized this, Ynot decided to update his little shack into something better suited to his needs, which is to say, he built a flying coliseum with state-of-the-art defense systems and dubbed it the Cabana II.
