I wouldn't be surprised if this slugcat was german

In soviet russia, you no pay scav for toll. scav pay you.

Funny enough I'm pretty sure the humanoids who made them gave em the funny names. Sliver of Straw is my fav

@@Failuigi41 Most likely named by the Ancients or they just named themselves because they're used in communication relays.

The Ancients' own names were weird too, like "Droplets Upon Five Droplets" and "Six Grains of Gravel, Mountains Abound"

@@Failuigi41 *N o* *S i g n i f i c a n t* *H a r a s s m e n t* No way the Ancients weren’t smoking some shit when they named that Iterator Same with the devs, the game’s story went from “omg poor little scuggy permanently separated from family.” to “If you were immortal wouldn’t you eventually get tired of living?”

The echoes names are goofy as hell.

oh, oh no

wait the slug pups die in one of the dreams? i didnt see that

@@nicholasg.5718 yea i checked it, funny what skipping about 30 seconds at the very end will miss

@@sleepibunnycat blue is supposed to get speared at the dream where arti runs away, and green gets leached and drowns because a scav knocks them away from arti

Actually i think I'm wrong and blue's fate is left to a fade to black. We do in fact watch green die though

There's a bleedout timer

If anyone else also paid attention to the area the spear stabbed as well; He also died of no descendants.

Ooooo sounds fun!

That makes sense for artificer

I would say that's a not so fun fact lol

That is a weird thing i noticed while in water. If i hold my chest right up to the surface of the water, than hit the water really hard over And over again it feels Like my lungs hurt.

Minecraft lied to me D=

Additionally, the reason why the Scavs are so distrustful of Hunter is probably because of Arti, seeing as Hunter is probably the first slugcat that they've seen since Arti and they most likely still told stories of the horrors that occurred last time they saw a slugcat. This, paired with the fact that, when continuing on the same save after killing the Scav chieftain, any Scavs that you run into will flee in fear at the sight of you, really goes to show just how terrifying Arti really was, how many she killed...

@@liamtordoff9974 also Hunter even looks like Artificer! The scavengers that survived Arti probably passed on stories of a "demon in the form of a red slugcat with a scarred eye". The tales spread over time, eventually passing from memory into myth, and the blood-red murdercat became a creature of legend. When Hunter arrives the scavs don't see a mere slugcat, they see the Harginger of the Apocalypse Reborn

How do you know the slugcat is a girl? I thought it was a boy the whole time.

@@theshadeow5103 Technically they don't actually have genders, so call them whatever you want.

@@theshadeow5103 because of the backstory with the pups it makes the most sense for the slugcat to be a grieving mother and therefore female. plus the official (but technically not canon) dating sim easter egg calls artificer a "she", so the community overall just kinda accepted her being female.

agreed

Plus she even has an attack called maul. Where she kills enemies when knocked out. Someone said she snaps their necks. But it uses her eating animation. And it's even called maul. You can use it on scavengers aswell. Instead of snapping their necks. She's ripping their necks apart. Way more brutal and menacing than simply snapping necks.

​@@Chara_Dreemurr1yes, you can do it with ANY knocked out character

@@Chara_Dreemurr1 it's honestly really easy to kill scavs with it even without a spear.

@@AdaTheWatcher ... they kill me if theres multiple. And i suck at aiming.

@@FoxyKitti Not entirely sure myself, I've just heard alot of streamers call Artificer a she since she was referred to as the mother of the pups, especially in the date sim thing, but most wikis call Artificer "they" from what I'm seeing.

​@@FoxyKittiyes the mother thing is true. Her pups got killed by scavs

@@FoxyKitti It's a she, and just because the pups don't look like her's doesn't mean they aren't, they could have gotten more traces from their father (probably dead or something)

​@@FoxyKitti And it's somehow impossible that the Artificer is the father of the slugpups because... Because slugcats don't have fathers?

@@Joryax I mean, male *cats* in real life tend not to stay around for kittens. But slugcats are likely descendants of purposed organisms, and any natural ancestor they may have been engineered from might not necessarily have had such a behaviour.

love it love it love it mwah mwah mwah *chefs kiss*

that scav got speared in the nuts. couldnt handle the cbt

he bled out

i like to think that the adrenaline wore off

It's a cool headcanon, but it doesn't make much sense to me. To my knowledge, the origin of the dangerous rain was 5P's enormous water use that killed Moon, which was long after the ancients were gone, so they'd have had no reason to have a frequent warning of a threat they didn't know about. Also, the ancients lived in cities above the clouds. I find it kind of unlikely that they'd have organic engineers handcrafting iterators in a dangerous area, especially with how many iterators there were. When I hear that sound, I personally just hear the sound of a lot of machinery shifting around, and since it's an electrical storm, it could be to protect the materials in those areas - it kind of sounds like huge metal structures moving. I think it's a mechanical, uncaring noise as the structure shifts different pieces around to protect itself from rain/the electrical storm.

@@midnight4685There still was rain before 5 pebs did his thing, it just wasn't bullet speed level dangerous yet.

@@leolen8029 Yeah, I mentioned it and I don't think that'd have been worthy of alarms. I did specify 'origin of the dangerous rain', and the rest of my comment deals with why I don't think it was warning of normal rain. The only real threat from rain would've been slippery surfaces and similar, but I doubt organic engineers were working on the iterators, and it wouldn't make sense for the alarm to be for the ancients living in the cities, since the cities are above the clouds. I agree that it's probably rain-related, but not alarm-related. Basically, I think that's the sound of the structure putting on its raincoat, or the structure somehow shifting in response to the rain/electrical storm. Not intended to warn, just an uncaring, cold, mechanical sound. Machinery can be really damn loud when it moves around, and with how big the iterators are, it makes the most sense to me. You're completely free to have it as a headcanon though, I'm purely elaborating on my own interpretation on it - I could be completely wrong.

​@@midnight4685could have been that it was an alarm moon could control for whatever the fuck disaster could happen and moon started using it to alert for rain when it became deadly

My own headcanon is that, after defeating the Chieftain Scavenger, she took his place. Effectively becoming the boss of those who hurt them. Sometimes they hang around with 5P. She eventually manages to reach the point of ascension, and does manage to!

Artificer and Gourmand's pups are the same colors so maybe Gourmand is the father of Artificer's pups?

uhh there is quite a big time difference between arti and gourmand

So THAT'S where I find those! Thank you very much, friend!

imagine having ancient culture and all the cool, important things are just named your world’s equivalent of “John”, “Liam”, “Bob” etc.

Saint or rivulet?

HE DOES??????

@@marimationsowo Yeah, especially with the white pearls, he goes into a lot more detail than Looks To The Moon and gives context to the writers, even tells you some of their names. I think my personal favorite is this one. Moon: "An image... of five bottles, standing on a surface made of... plants? I have no idea what this is." Pebbles: "An image of five bottles of water, standing upon a surface of filter feeding plants. A reflection of desire for something denied. A painting from the late Red literary dynasty by the famed painter Twenty-One Spokes of a Stone Wheel, a true visionary!"

@@phyllotaxis damn guess he spends all his spare time studying stuff, i’ve gotta give him some pearls now!!! thx for the examples btw

Just thought I should say that they go by they/them pronounce :)

The only problem with that is that you kind of need scav bodies to progress and randomizers aren’t great at giving you stuff when you need it

Yes you can

From my run he doesn’t say anything specific about the mask, I believe that either with or without the mask returning to him just results in him saying something along the lines of, “Judging by the state you’re in, I’d assume you found whatever it was you were looking for.”

Artificer is literally just doomguy. Her kids were killed by the scavengers. Now she's on a warpath and will kill every single scavenger in existence. Like how doomguy is killing demons because they killed his pet rabbit.

Don't quote me on this, but I think that if you find all the echoes and reach the depths you can ascend for a unique ending.

Artificer is red because she's the most violent.

You mean a teel lizard?
