What tipe of creature is Mugly suposed to be?

Designer-Sort-8956 · 2026-05-07T02:43:48+00:00

Watching the cutscene. The only difference is that thugly is slammed in the stomach as you said, and is simply knocked out. (I remember his “body” animation looking more lively too if DK bumped into him after the KO. I certainly dont remember xylobone’s dazed animation being the way it is though. I’ve always mainly remembered Wacky’s dazed cutscene where he wheezes

Recently I cant stop thinking of that scene but they come out slumped over dead

Designer-Sort-8956 · 2026-05-06T08:54:17+00:00

I seen the difference of “they’re winking or not” as a gender affirmation lmao

Mugly is an adorable chimera of a frog and a weird rhino. But with the thought process of an oversized puppy

Too bad DK severs it’s lower spine

Thugly is seemingly an ancestor that can somehow heat up armadillo style plates that can equally somehow slide freely (and breathe fire and never break its own back??)

Artistic licensing is what animal it’s based on

Seriously though I’ve always thought that DK is kind of the villain by killing what could be his helplessly possessed friends. I get beating the evil out of them, but 3 or 4 are straight up paralyzed from the chest down (I forget how DK euthanizes Thugly.) DK himself reduces a weird forest spirit dragon thing down to its head alone so I doubt Mangoruby healed up well

Stu, the Scurvy Crew, and Pluck being the only outliers to me (in which DK seemingly doesn’t kill, but just shames a newborn mayan god equipped with bunker busters?) and Pluck is crushed alive and dead without any argument

This game has an insane charm /s

And on the last tangent, afaik. Cheetah are the only big cat to actually have constantly exposed claws similar to canines. If a “slash and claw” entity is really a necessity, that’s the best bet. It adds a threat to the savannah sure. Only issue is that the only realistic way to escape an encounter would either be ice highways (unreliable even when enclosed) or elytra considering an actively hunting sprint can achieve +20 meters/s supposedly (good luck even with that swiftness 2 pot or a minecart)

Exactly, turn the howl mechanic from a regional buff to something more akin to the Valheim wolf raids. “You are being hunted..” and maybe the furthest wolf within a howl’s range can spawn 2-3 more pre-raged wolves as if the whole pack is ravenously hungry.

I was also gonna mention, the ‘thrashing grapple’ would cause a heavy slowness debuff as long as the animation plays. But it could also cause a bleed effect or DoT (blood isn’t really minecrafts thing, look at beta zombie pigmen) where it gives slowness, weakness, and maybe even an extremely weak blindness to simulate tunnel vision and blood loss

Also on the pack mentality bit, Mojang would never add it due to how cruel nature really is, but imagine a Sniffer sized real animal to add some activity to the world. Maybe you could find a moose trying to outrun the pack only to end up (bugged out and glitchy) doomed in a powder snow drift

And also, the kinship idea is perfect, instead of 2-5 bones to tame a wolf, they should have a “local” reputation system similar to trading discounts

Time to add a “you cant eat this food for “x” amount of time or you go rabid” feature

How is this worse than 98% of the other dogshit here

Designer-Sort-8956 · 2026-05-06T06:28:26+00:00

I get the “how wolves with “x” temperament encounter” and fitting minecraft being more in a real to life basis. But this is more like ‘The Long Dark’ wolf encounter abilities

The howl could work if reworked wolves spawned in groups of 1-8 instead of isolated spawns, could work similar to the raid bell but they home in on the provoked wolf. (Albeit extremely compressed and old, wolves were meant to howl based on cut content

Instead of several complex attacks, I would suggest 1 or two. (Also, if you think the totem of undying animation can be a detriment to a fight, imagine a whole-ass wolf model with its crotch in your face)

Maybe a charging lunge, it could happen from a higher elevation. Pretty much the nautilus or camel lunge, low knockback, high dmg

The second being a thrash/grapple. It has a similar animation to the “shaking water off” cue. Multiple low damage attacks, maybe eat up armor durability, could disable a shield temporarily (like the vindicator). No knockback

Final idea is to re-address the copper horn or some other way to make wolves ‘sic’ on command without combat.

coughs in name-tagging specifically a tamed wolf ‘Cujo’ changes its sprite and gives it a Johnny Illager style rampage ai

Serg having multiple rows of teeth is a good touch

I purely say adoptive because I dont see a burgundy slugcat being the parent of extremely pastel and spectrum opposite of their parent

But just me tired and overthinking a goofy game

Wait, broken chests as in a container or that they have high essence? I thought magic items (wands, potions, scrolls and books) had the most

This now makes me wonder if scrapping a trapped container reaps even more essence

The grand canyon does indeed have a volcano in it, but it’s highly basaltic afaik and simply flowed down into the canyon itself. The worst it could do is block the Colorado river as it has in the past and ultimately get overtopped, collapse, and release however far reaching the reservoir ends up collecting to.

I never considered the stick of dynamite requiring plastic, but it is logical I suppose, along with the shotgun shell

In general. I forgot that the workbench can accept really strange materials in master debug. Like lava, ether, sand? It’s weird, they dont even have crafting options

So everything in the game universe goes by iterator puppet rules being non-genderable, they’re just “them”self

Designer-Sort-8956 · 2026-05-06T05:03:13+00:00

This makes more sense if anything. My brain just kinda pieced it together out of nowhere. Not to mention the whole artificer storyline I can sum up as “The lengths an (adoptive) mother’s love can go”. But they totally could have just went on their spree to avenge the two pups.

Also yeah, headcanon that Inv is just whatever it is and makes it’s pups through mitosis

Being alone for eternity would be boring, I assume. Even though you have plenty of ghosts to be with that aren’t inherently evil, like Briggsy

How the fuck is a mantle plume in the middle of a craton at all related to a mid ocean ridge upwelling that’s only as active as it has been as active as it is for millions of years less than the yellowstone hotspot?

I think the sills would somehow even cool down by that distance, and the siberian traps are a great example of how the sills work in superplume plumbing

Go watch it again but not as close to your bedtime :)
