Ironically, if you finish Primal Rage using Chaos, it is revealed that he was a human geneticist (or witch doctor, depends on the version) who accidentally transformed himself into that thing, and defeating all the other monsters lets him become human again, which in turn, lets him lead the effort to reclaim the world for humanity. He actually becomes kind of handsome, in fact.

The fact that you made it through this whole list without referencing Silent Hill is quite impressive. Gross out tentacley flesh monsters with cult worshippers are like, that series' whole jam.

I was so genuinely surprised that the 'two fingers' everyone kept mentioning in elden ring was literally two giant gross hairy fingers and not a shadowy organisation or something. I want to know who to blame for this, GRRM or Miyazaki.

Jane absolutely annihilated that description of the greater will, hot damn. 24 seconds is a record.

Mike's Jenova Witness joke was the best laugh I've had in a while.

Seeing the two fingers as actual two giant fingers was all I needed to see to rebel against the greater will.

C'Thulhu having a belly button or not is actually a question with more implication than a throw-away joke, as it for some reason immediately made me think about it. It would mean that C'Thulhu was conceived within his/it's mother. Not from an egg, or created from imagination or energy, but birthed from a womb with all that entales. I would think C'Thulhu doesn't have a belly button, since pretty much any birth except mammalian birth results in a lack of one.

"Should've called them Jenova's Witnesses" (eyebrow wiggle) had me thoroughly choking on my own laughter 😂😂😭😂

It's strangely comforting that Jane has prepared for the future of the channel so well. Hopefully very, very, very far into the future.

i laughed way too hard at "Jenova's witnesses". GG

The Children of Atom from the Fallout series. Worshippers of a wide variety of gross stuff, including an enormous crater full of radiation and Deathclaws. In a series that can be quite nuanced about its factions, these guys are completely crazy.

The dark mother is definitely a good choice, but Hermaeous Mora is significantly more gross, and the only reason that they don't have a proper Cult like Boethia or Namira, is that most of the time, their worshippers choose to stay in Apocrypha and turn into lurkers

I'm not sure which was funnier, the believability of Jane as oxbox nightmother, or her inadvertent Whataburger employee cosplay😁

Any Warhammer video game that includes Nurgle worshippers would count for this, given that Nurgle is the god of disease and pestilence. He even has his own illness named after him, "Nurgle's Rot"

What about mother Meranda? I thought “maybe THIS resident evil antagonist is not a giant abomination monster being worshipped by a small isolated town” only for her to transform into a giant abomination monster being worshipped by a small, isolated town. Thaaaats resident evil!

Not gonna lie, Sephiroth sword-sweeping those two cultists off the cliff was the most adorable murder I've seen since I discovered African Wild Cats.

About Primal Rage's Chaos: According to the game's Lore, Chaos was once a human whose profession was a scientist (known on the new Urth as a Witch Doctor) whose wished for world dominations. After the Cataclysm, he coveted Blizzard's power to take over the world and attempted to evolve himself with that power using Genetics, however, he was transformed into a disgusting beast covered in a pool of fecal matter. Chaos fights to brake the curse on him and returns to his human form, losing the whole flatulent bit, which if you beat the game with him, he succeeds. To be fair, according to extended Lore (though not seen in the games), Chaos' faction is, by far, the most technologically advanced of the factions. We are talking plasma rifles, power suits, computers, electricity, etc., while the rest of the factions are quite primitive thought some can utilize magic now.

Jane will forever lead outsidexbox, even in her grave. It’s in her will. All hail the glorious leader.

While I understand not having three entries from FromSoftware games, I do think Aldrich, Devourer of Gods deserves to be on this list. He was a saint who was so incredibly gluttonous that he became a giant slug and started being worshipped by the other clerics of the deep who became heretics and began using pyromancy magic

My first thought when I saw Elden Ring on this list was Godwyn/the Prince of Death. But the Fingers are really gross, too. Honestly, most of what people worship in Elden Ring is pretty gross.

This has bugged me since Castlevania. What happens if one or more of the humans used in your many human meatball are allergic to eggs, peanuts, shellfish, or have hayfever? It never comes up in these human-lego fusion situations. What if tossing a lobster at the mass of human could put an end to it in a matter of minutes. All I'm saying is there's no harm in trying.

There are other weird things being worshipped in Elden Ring, including literal rot, blood, a flame that drives people mad, just to name a few. So I don't know if worshipping some giant fingers is even the weirdest cult that exists within the Lands Between.

To split hairs further, the dark brotherhood doesn't worship the night mother (cicero might) but they do worship sithis... Who is literally nothing supposedly, so maybe worshipping the night mother is more accurate 😅

In Fallout 3: A tree fused with a man whose heart is now outside his body in a cave. In Final Fantasy 6: Kefka In Elder Scrolls Oblivion: Hermaeus Mora In Call of Cthulhu: Cthulhu ...and these are just off the top of my head. I'm pretty sure one could make a list of ONLY beings from the Final Fantasy series.

I was hoping to see the Elder God, from the Legacy of Kain series. Raziel: "And if I told Moebius that he's worshipping a giant squid, do you think his faith will falter?" Elder God: "You have grown willful, Raziel."

13:20 Night Mother Jane? You've got my vote Ms Douglas.

2:43 Don't say that Mike. I don't know what your definition of success is but you make millions of people happy everyday and this channel help people through their life when things seem bad. So that has to count to something. Plus you get to play d&d with friends as part of your job. ; )

Speaking of FromSoft I would also bring up the giant immortal koi carp from Sekiro. The thing is not that bad at first blush but then you see that it actually has human like teeth and just gets more disgusting from there.

About Sephirot, his dad is Hojo - if you see the character design, he's not that beautiful (*yuck*) and Sephirot didn't really take on Hojo's appearance side As for his REAL mother, it's Lucrecia (Sephiirot was lied to, many times duringhis life) and she was/is quite pretty

YOU SHALL NOT DISRESPECT OUR BELOVED NIGHT MOTHER. HAIL SITHIS.

Not really sure if this counts, but I feel like Duma/Doma (the Japanese name, I think) from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia would be a good fit for this. Duma is a divine dragon, which are worshipped in the Fire Emblem games, however, despite being a "Divine" Dragon, he looks like spoiled meatloaf made out of lizards. He has broken, decaying wings, one eyeball, and his flesh appears to be decaying. Not to mention there's the regular practice of sacrificing young women to him to gain immense power, this process turns the women into what is known as a "witch" which is the empty husk of the girl that was sacrificed because Duma ate her soul. Also, when he appears to his followers, known as the Duma Faithful, he decides to appear as a gross, veiny, eyeball, instead of a dragon, or a human form which he does have, but doesn't care to use for some reason. And he lives in a poisonous swamp underneath a castle, so I can't imagine he smells very good either. So yeah, Duma would definitely fit for this list, if there's commenter edition at some point in the future.

Jane's haircut is awesome!

I mean it’s appropriate that Jane lowers our expectations for weird things to worship.

Still jealous of Jane's hair... tell me how Jane!

I was expecting them to pick one of the other Daedric princes in TES. Perhaps Hermaeus Mora, Peryite or maybe Namira.

All hail our glorious leader Jane. Please don't lock me in the dungeon behind the cellar again. In other news, I love guessing who got the capture for which bit. Elden Ring, Luke. Dead Space, Jane. Primal Rage, Andy is the fighting game lover but Mike has the retro setup. Hmm.

"Some Lovcraftian nonsense" took me by surprise. What a great description of the Bloodborne gods.

What about the Elder God from the Legacy of Kain series? Raziel even calls out an enemy for worshipping a giant squid 🐙

When you mentioned the followers in FF7 going to “Mother” I am surprised you didn’t mention the 3 goons from FF7 Advent Children movie.

Mike's catfishing joke went over everybody's head.

There is the heretical contention that The Night Mother is one of the many disguises of the Daedric prince Mephala, brought about when Vivec assumed the aspect of Mephala and demanded that the Morag Tong revere him instead. A splinter faction who refused this became The Dark Brotherhood and continued to revere Mephala in a more mummified form. It's noteworthy that Mephala's quest in Skyrim centers around a voice that only particular people can hear. And this leads to the canonical possibility that, should the player refuse to follow the Dark Brotherhood storyline, then the jarl's son is fated to become The Listener in the next generation since he was able to hear the whispers first.

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how amazing Jane's hair looks?

Just in case nobody has pointed out; the Indominus' adaptive camouflage ability was inspired by the Carnotaurs in the Lost World novel :P *Scuttles away*

I feel it should be said, Namira from the elder scrolls series falls very firmly into this category. I love her, but yeesh.

Surprised they didn't mention Hermaeus Mora from The Elder Scrolls. The statue in Cyrodiil is one thing, actual tentacles coming out of a doorway are another.

You can actually kill the Tsar Fish if you want. You need to lure it to a specific spot and drop some stuff on it's head

Hermaeus Mora from the Elder Scrolls is pretty nasty too. Especially when you meet him in the Skyrim DLC

I would say Hermaeus Mora from the Elder Scrolls series since he’s a giant mass of gross eyeballs and tentacles but he’s a deadric prince and they get all sorts of worshippers. A second option I’d say is Corypheus from Dragon Age Inquisition, he’s a Tevinter Magister who tried to reach the Golden City and was cursed to become a Darkspawn as a result of the ritual he participated in for that. Later in Inquisition he’s hailed as a god who can’t die (he binded part of his being into a red lyrium corrupted dragon) and spreads the influence of dark blood magic and red lyrium across the land. He’s not really a god but he amassed a whole army of followers who believed he was one and his appearance is quite gross

In the defense of the unitologists, the marker has mind altering/mind control powers. And the markers are everywhere.

Love this channel and the worship of the number 7

"Must've gotten his looks from his dad's side" considering who Sephiroth's dad is, yeah no.

One of my favs is Destiny: The insect-like race now called the Hive we’re going to be saved by the traveler from their miserable existence but decided to worship some giant worms (that are gods but still big worms). Then the leaders injected some worm larva into their bodies and now all they want to destroy the universe

"Jenovah's Witnesses" is by far the best pun I've heard on this channel.

Technically, Ebrietas is a very powerful Kin rather than a true Great One. Ebrietas bleeds the pale yellow fluid that Kin bleed. True Great Ones bleed a red fluid that looks like true blood. Although I am not sure if it IS true blood because of the Lovecraftian nature of the Great Ones.

"Genova's witnesses". 🤣🤣That earned a like by itself.

I feel like Death Trash deserves to be on here, people literally worship sentient flesh including a Flesh Kraken you meet immediately after the tutorial who apparently just wants a friend.

Jenova's WItnesses... made my day

For Elden Ring, we didn’t talk about Praetor Rykard!? That guy is the single most disgusting thing and the people in Volcano Manor practically worship him (or his ideas)

I was expecting the Thorian from mass effect, although that’s more mind control it is definitely up there on the gross list

I was so confused when there wasn't an Elder Scrolls game in the spoiler list. Those games are practically jam packed with gross things to worship. I guess it was just because it isn't a spoiler really.

In addition for the two fingers, they’re not so morally great either. It’s implied in item descriptions that the greater will essentially enslaves all mortals, by taking away all free will.

I thought of the Leviathan from Call of Cthulhu. Believe it checks all the boxes for this list.

it's genuinely so nice to see the Ray Sunshine cameo whenever Bloodborne comes up

Jenova's Witnesses was a good one. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sephiroth definitely got his looks from…well, anyone but his father 😅😵🤮 disgusting as it is to have Hojo for a father, it’s still true 😔🤮

"I can't wait for Unitology to talk their way out of this one" Well, I mean.... they weren't *_wrong..._*

That overview of Elden Ring metaphysics - thank God for Vaati, I imagine.

If Jane is the night mother, who's the speaker? I have Luke as Cicero and Ellen as the Dragonborn speaker in this cute tableau in my mind

It's kind of tangentially related, but in the Halo novels and comics, there's an insane faction of the Covenant that worships the Flood. Once the Flood were found on one of the Halos, they intentionally lowered their ship's shields to intentionally let the Flood on board, and were subsequently destroyed by more sane Covenant ship masters. Apparently, these fanatics believed that the Flood were a creation of the Forerunners (which, spoiler alert: they're not), and as such, should be worshipped just as much as the Forerunners are.

The two fingers can't flip you off, just point. Three finger on the other hand.

Jenovas witnesses. Mikes dead pan delivery of his jokes always makes them funnier.

The nightmother in Skyrim kept me up for days when i was a kid

I love your hair, Jane! Looks amazing as always!

3, Wow, that fish is really pesc-y!

"Or should I say GERALD." Geralds the world over hang their heads in shame.

7:54 LMAO 🤣 13:06 OMG you're killing me this is so funny 😆 Excellent work! 👏

i like how at 6:34 they chose a clip of a voice actor quite clearly saying "Star Fish" instead of Tsarfish xD

Worshipping Chaos? Yes Inquistor, this video right here...

In Brutal Legend, the Tainted Coil faction used to worship the toenail clipping of a titan, who they used to worship before they left

That Jenova's Witnesses joke was made in a VG Cats comics about 16 years ago, still funny. I also like the licensed the Chocobo inbreeder comic, and the one with HK-47... Now I have to back and re-read all the VG Cats comics

Does Magus from Guardians of the Galaxy count for this? Weird Crystallized Space Worm (that eventually becomes a weird crystallized space man) that essentially corrupts the minds of billions across the galaxy and gives them a false life.

To be fair to the jenova worshippers she does look strikingly similar to angels

Amusingly, if you overlay the Two Fingers and the Three Fingers (the frenzied flame source of worship), they actually create a full hand, with the frenzied flame fingers forming the thumb, ring, and pinkie fingers, and the Two Fingers forming the pointer and middle fingers! Also yes Cthulhu has a belly button in his original appearance. For some reason.

In Primal Rage, when humans move from their standard background position as cheerleaders and start prostrating themselves on the same plane that the monsters are fighting on, you can scoop them up and eat them there too. Gives a little health right there, but knocks a hundred (or something like that) off the total you have. The eating worshipers bit in general and the 'no cheese' that separates the monsters when one is clearly cheesing the other (complete with flashing icon of a wedge of cheese with a 'no' symbol on top of it) were two of the best part of that game. Which was one of the two games I got along with my Playstation back in the big dvd style box, gen 1, no dual analog (let alone dual shock) days. (The other game I got that day was Street Fighter Alpha)

Was anyone else expecting anything from Fallout? My pick would have been the mutant stuck inside a tree that had grown out of his head. As for their picks... Well, they're not wrong about any of them, but in fairness- (click to read more for butt-hurt). Jenovah was described by Aerith's mother as a kind of infiltrator -- something that took many forms and corrupted them from within. So the original Jenovah could have been as beautiful as your imagination is capable of comprehending.... Sephiroth for the English, a triple-cheeseburger with breast implants and an AR-15 for the Americans (sorry, it was too easy). The Jenovah we see in the game is actually a corpse, albeit one that retains its shapeshifting abilities and (yes, this is real) TOOK THE FORM OF SEPHIROTH!!! Yeah, all those Sephiroth encounters you had? That was actually Jenovah in the form of Sephiroth and the real Sephiroth has been controlling it from the core ever since Cloud chucked him into Nibelheim's mako reactor. And Chaos... Well, yes, all of that is true. But you left out one important detail: Chaos was originally a human shaman. So while he may indeed be a disgusting fart monster, he probably still represents the best chance for humanity.

Now if only the OxBoxers would take to being a creepy cult.

A minor one is from Advanced Wars: Days of ruin. There is an entire cult around a literary worm in hopes that it will prevent a virus that grows flowers out from you as you live

"More like Greater Won't" is definitely what Ranni Said. Actually that'd be a good name for an achievement for getting the Ranni ending.

That catfish joke confused me for like a full 2 seconds.

Just remembered the Ganado from RE4 and the villagers from RE8 worship an evil plant and a mold hive mind respectively. This is why we should worship Dark Queen Jane, she isn't unpleasant to look at and she only asks us to sacrifice members of rival gaming channels.

Lavos from Chrono Trigger. Giant world eating space bug thing kinda looks like the lady bits from teeth.

Jane... *JAAAAAANE!!!* What have you done to your hair?! Yes, that's my takeaway from this video. The loss of Jane's dark, silky locks! Why, Jane? *WHY?!?* 😭😭😭

Nice haircut Jane, looks great!

okay, why does jane look so specially great today? (i want to say something along the lines of "yaas queen" or "slay" or something aswell)

This video instantly brought Barotrauma to mind. A whole faction of characters worships the Husk parasite, a collection of creatures that turn your body (and that of the wildlife) into exactly what you think it does- husks. They rise through the throat, removing the ability to speak while choking the victim slowly, before they partially burst out of the mouth as a collection of tentacles and turn the victim into their zombie. A zombie that can survive thousands of feet below the oceans of Europa. People WANT to go through this, by the way.

Thatjenova's witnesses part made me laugh out loud

Did you forget about Hermaeus Mora? You know, the giant black floating eyeball with tentacles??

Jane didn't make the list? Wtf?

Borderlands 3 had an Easter egg for Metro's fish god as a side mission in love guns and tentacles dlc. You find a guy who needs you to help him make a fish costume and lower him into the ocean in a giant cage to be with "the fish mother". During which you have to fight some bandit who he claim are non believer's lmao. Was a fun mission but doesn't provide much in the way's of loot, but fun nonetheless

Hoenstly, the Tsar Fish could just be a normal catfish and it'd still make sense. Them things can grow scary big
