I do like that this one looks more arthropod-like than worm-like, which is interesting. I've seen enough creepy worm-maggot monsters to realize that I might very well never be tired of them. It's got a cool, furry texture that brings to mind warthogs more than pigs, and it's got a cool looking bladed helmet thing, and I think it just sort of messes up your formation and whatnot? I dunno, it feels a bit different from most of the flesh horror of the swinefolk from the game, and just looks like it could just be a member of like any generic fantasy boar-men race.Ĭarrion Eater: Exclusive to the Warrens are these giant worm monsters, the Carrion Eaters, which are giant centipede-maggot-grub things with a pretty nasty multi-fanged mouth. I also appreciate how its face is always covered up, making it look different from all the other more common gross pig-faced monsters. I do enjoy the sheer absurdity of a mutated, giant pig-centaur with a bunch of shields wrapped up around its big fat belly. I'm not sure why, but I've always found the Swinetaur to honestly be not that huge of a threat. Swinetaur: The Swinetaur doesn't appear until the more difficult variants of the Warrens dungeons, and it's the "big enemy" of the Swine, taking up a couple of slots on its own. I love just how gross the stretched-out lips on its screaming mouth looks. Unlike the bone trumpeteer guy, though, this one only uses its drums to debuff your party members. Swine Drummer: Not the most interesting of the Swine, as it's basically the support unit, drumming on its edgy human-flesh-skin drum with bone clubs. In addition to stressing out your party (because come on look at this thing) it also vomits its own loogie at your party, causing a chance for them to contract diseases. From that face to the long, human-like arms that support its body, to those poorly-developed legs, to the random human skull that grows out of its flesh, the Swine Wretch is also bizarrely the only Swinefolk to be considered purely a "Beast", instead of a Beast/Human. Swine Wretch: The variant of the Madmen exclusive to the Swines, the Swine Wretch always looked the most utterly disturbing of the Swine monsters in the Warrens. The swine, being, y'know, disgusting creatures, the Swine Slasher often inflicts debuffs to your party that make it more likely for them to contract diseases or the 'bleed' status. A pretty creepy design, and I do like the contrast it strikes with some of the other Swine with how lean it looks. Swine Slasher: The other swines tend to play up this bizarre combination with torture implements, and Swine Slasher here has replaced an arm with a hook, its legs with swords and walks around with that utterly gimp-looking metal mask. A pretty neat, disgusting-looking design all around from the chains to the weaponry it swings around to the boar tusks. y'know, I've always found pigs to be fairly creepy, and while Swine Chopper isn't super mutilated, being the 'base', simple enemy, I do like that it still has stubby little pig feet. They're considered Beast/Human by the game, and. Swine Chopper: So I'll spoil part of the Warrens storyline told from the narrator monologues while meeting the two area bosses, and just tell you that the monstrous, mutated pig-men of the Warrens are the result of your crazy ancestor experimenting with profane rituals, and the literal leftovers of his experiments have been transformed into these monstrous pig-men who want nothing but to butcher and kill anything in its path. Last time we covered the global and ruins enemies, and this time we're covering the Warrens and Weald enemies. Part two of my commentary of Darkest Dungeon monsters.
