and frankly, it shouldnt matter

they arent important to the story

That actually makes a lot of sense

no im saying her parents dying is the same

we dont know if her parents are dead or not

looking back on old lore is like a fever dream

#

i don’t like this idea, i think there shouldn’t have to be a lore reason why a character has their sexuality. she could just be aro ace

graceful otter
#

^

#

a character can be aroace just because they are

scarlet pecan
#

i just thought it was an interesting thing to think about

brazen moth
#

pretty sure most asexual people aren’t ace because of some past trauma, it’s just hardwired in their brain to not like sex

All within calculations

#

ok so, new topic discussion

#

i know there's four main elementals

#

but why out of all of them is Anahita the only one ythat gets a proper name?

spring helm
#

silva is named

scarlet pecan
#

i dont know if silva counts since she's a goddess

graceful otter
#

silva does count

spring helm
#

afaik there isn't just one cloud elemental

#

hmmm, i might be wrong there

#

here's the cloud elemental bestiary

#

"Part of a solitary elemental that rarely appears aside from when her domain is at its strongest. Many attempts were made by what remained of Yharim’s forces to hunt down the elementals after Azafure fell. Only now that the war has passed do the weaker elementals dare return."

#

maybe the one's with more personality got named

leaden bridge
#

Why the fuck would yharim do that

spring helm
#

revenge i suppose

#

an elemental did burn down The First City

#

yeah

#

but scal had the protection of Yharim

#

and besides

#

look at her

#

she's innocent

dusty saffron

give her a hug

probably used that as part of his god genociding crusade excuse

#

I find a message, just don't sure if it's still actual info

glacial rampart
#

keep in mind that something is only canon if its said in game iirc

zealous pier
#

anyone know if this means yharim left without speaking or if he spoke with certainty

stark basalt
#

He spoke with certainty

forest knot
#

What materials would I use to build a starship? Lore wise? I’m using cosmilite bricks for starters

#

It looks circuit-y

forest knot
#

Also, who is responsible for the wulfrum robots

zealous pier
#

if we're talking canonically, draedon is capable of space travel already but he cant because the astral infection eats all his space ships

#

which is why he's actively trying to find a cure

#

so any starship would also get infected

forest knot
#

Wait, so the infection is scattered all across orbit? Like a planetary prison?

zealous pier
zealous pier
#

they are much smaller and made of pure mana, and are living beings

forest knot
#

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck

zealous pier
#

when they die their bodies have to be disposed of properly or they rot into the astral infection

forest knot
#

I’ve based all my builds on the fact that stars are pure energy 😭

zealous pier
#

astrum deus used to stop that by eating dead stars before the astral infection would form but one day it evolved to infect astrum deus instead

#

so he threw a piece of it at earth and thats why the meteor lands in hardmode

zealous pier
barren sonnet
#

in calamity, stars are balls of mana that accumulated over time

zealous pier
#

nothing changes about them except they arent a bajillion miles away or 9000 degress celsius

barren sonnet
#

from "ambient mana" that was floating around space

zealous pier
#

thats why they're associated with magic so much and why fallen stars are used to craft the mana increase thigns

forest knot
#

So space travel is impossible in calamity lore…?

zealous pier
eager bluff
#

deus is 1 of a species

forest knot
#

Dang… No Star Wars settings in calamity

eager bluff
zealous pier
#

draedon says its super easy to cure the infection on the planet because he can use the clentaminator just like we can, but in space the clentaminator doesnt work since its an air gun kinda so he needs to find something that can

zealous pier
forest knot
#

Yeah, but by logic, not all extraterrestrials have developed the clentaminator or anything similar

zealous pier
#

although he also wants to invent wireless teleporters for when he reaches the moon so he can beam resources back to earth without wasting fuel

#

i assume if the astral infection and travel speed wasnt a problem, draedon would def be able to explore outer space and so would we since we have his tech too

#

so yeah space travel is possible by technicality in calamity lore

forest knot
#

I wanted to build on the lore and be a space-based leader-figure of some sort , where I’ve colonized the solar system and am capable of interstellar travel

zealous pier
#

we've already done shit that draedon couldn't

#

we actually invented miracle matter which is why he begrudgingly calls it that because he is humble enough to give credit where its due

dusty saffron
zealous pier
#

i think part of why he hasnt found a cure for the astral infection is that he still wants to study all its inner workings and materials, and is lacking creativity since he hasnt been inspired in a while

forest knot
#

Like I also want to reverse engineer cosmilite and exo tech into a fleet of ships

zealous pier
forest knot
#

Like, obtain it from say the devourer of gods and the exo mechs and incorporate it into my builds

#

Implying that I have managed to research its properties and am mass producing it for my fleet in a facility somewhere

zealous pier
#

quick question have you read the new draedon communication dialogue

forest knot
#

If cosmilite comes from space or the pocket dimension, wherever, I want to imply in my builds that I’ve sent people or automatons out to collect it on a mass scale

buoyant inlet
#

Cosmilite comes from the distortion

#

And its normal state is most likely liquid

forest knot
#

And the exo tech be replicated by research after I’ve defeated the mechs

zealous pier
forest knot
#

No

buoyant inlet
#

at least its planned that when the distortion is finally out, you will obtain cosmilite in here and it will be liquid

zealous pier
#

he literally explains exactly what exotech is and how it works

i've found the in-game pov of a god being hunted back in yharim's prime godseeking days

i tried actually fighting all of them at the same time and Calamitas peaced the fuck out immediately

Where would I arrange for calamitas to live once I defeat her? Prison or home?

i don’t think exo mechs existed during the crusade, right?

also lore accurate

Better question would be

Kid goku post-master Roshi training vs Draedon

#

Dreadon could probably trap him or something, Kid Goku is dumb

spring helm
#

So the goku who fought in his first tenkaichi budokai

spring helm
#

He would want goku at his best to get good data

fierce pagoda
#

I mean he'd have no other option, would he?

#

he'd betray him and trap him in the hyperbolic time chamber for a thousand years

What if Calamitas was betrayed and trapped in the Distortion for 1000 years?

#

this is when master roshi did the moon busting feat

#

goku turned oozaru during the match

wheat walrus
spring helm
#

goku lost this fight though

wheat walrus
#

then it's debatable

spring helm
#

i'll make a modification, no oozaru form for goku. because that would win undeniably

#

i think even start of series goku's oozaru would beat the exo mechs

hollow nexus
#

It took me a bit to realize, but the dates given by Draedon in his Communicate dialogue are Deific Era dates, aren't they?

brisk frigate
#

not all

#

the later dates (mainly the ones past like 1781) aren't in the deific era due to being when the crusades happened

hollow nexus

Oh, I see...

so... calamity takes place in the 1800s..........

Do you think Yharims Auric armor also consists of other materials like tarragon, Bloodflare and cosmolite and such?

you can already dupe without journey mode but it’s just more tedious

Lore reason for dupes existing?

zealous pier
spring helm
#

As their revival on the Aerie was a commonly accepted fact even at the start of recorded history, the sky island must be at least 2,000 years old
So written language was invented 2000 years before the story.
While the Crusade is widely considered to have begun on the date of 6.19.1781 with Yharon's rebirth, I took no part in it until 4.23.1803.
We know that the calendar is based on Azafure's founding.
Which means that written history was invented before the founding of what was supposedly the first city.

#

just something i found interesting

viral dagger
#

why writing specifically?

#

history can be recorded through oral history

spring helm
#

In real history, writing (and its earlier precursors) was invented as a method to keep track of goods. This comes about as a necessity when civilisations start to form, as large groups of people require more complex methods of record keeping.

earnest flare
#

oral history is like a game of telephone

#

it gets warped over time

#

... which is why writing is great

viral dagger
#

Fair enough for the sake of needing semi specific dates, just something to think about

spring helm
#

Writing then can be seen as a natural consequence of development of complex societies.

#

Thus, one can conclude that Azafure was in fact not the first city, as an earlier civilization, or perhaps the same civilization that eventually gave rise to the city, existed before Azafure's founding.

#

Unless of course, the recorded history that Draedon mentions is oral history.

stark basalt
#

Azafure being the first major civilization makes sense

viral dagger
#

i thought yharim and such were centuries old, kind of wierd to think everything with the crusade happened in the last 100-odd years

viral dagger
spring helm
#

Technology developed extremely quick in Calamity compared to our world. Draedon's creator was able to create a synthetic brain, and either uploaded their consciousness or created a new artificial intelligence for it.

#

Given that Draedon is about 660 years old and that history is about 2000 years old by the start of the game, this means that it only took around 1360 years for someone to be far surpass us.

viral dagger
#

from what ive seen, not much technology other than roughly steampunk-victorian levels of industries happened until draedon

spring helm
#

Which makes me wonder how long it took for humanity (and other sentient lifeforms) in Calamity took to move from the Paleolithic Era to agricultural civilizations.

viral dagger
#

guess Azafure just had really good production bonus tiles

spring helm
#

If they ever had to start from there at all.

viral dagger
spring helm
#

Perhaps the presence of Auric Dragons and magic jump started development and sentient lifeforms simply began their existances almost fully formed.

civic salmon
#

Depending on when the Elementals came about they may also have played a role

spring helm
#

of course

#

Especially Silva, in my eyes.

#

Productivity and food availability have been 2 major limiters on progress. With magic and a literal elemental of life who appears to favour intelligent life, given how she made Braelor her champion, civilization would have had ample resources to expand and develop.

#

They might have even been able to speedrun their way into the industrial revolution in terms of productivity and population.

earnest flare
#

hey guys!
i have insightful information that will change this conversation

#

something something
world soul

spring helm
#

Right!

#

The world itself being alive and influencing life.

#

It's hard for me to speculate about this one since there is so little information about the world soul.

earnest flare
#

i dont know shit about the world soul but if you throw headcanons at the wall one might stick

spring helm
#

Well we do know that Auric Souls derived their power from it after it shattered.

#

This implies that the abilities Auric Souls had originated from the World Soul.

earnest flare
#

yeah, like life

spring helm
#

Like life!!!!

#

Very interesting indeed.

#

There was a Dragon of Life and Dragon of Death.

#

So life and death were domains of the World Soul.

#

So this begs the question, did life spontaneously come about like in our world or did the World Soul bring it to be?

earnest flare
#

yeah i dont think that question will ever be answered

#

the only source that COULD POSSIBLY know that is the bestiary

#

and well
we already got that

spring helm
#

We know microorganisms exist in Calamity, explicitly stated with Draedon.

Regardless. There is a unique allure to setting loose a synthesized mimicry of prokaryotic life. It continues to evolve incomprehensibly rapidly, even as we speak, providing endless opportunities for analysis.

#

So from this, we know that prokaryotic life exists and evolves.

#

I'm running out of brain power to be honest, it's been a while since I've had to think this much.

earnest flare
#

dont worry i got this

civic salmon
#

Maybe life just evolves really fast in Terraria

earnest flare
#

the elements required for life are:
carbon - it exists in the form of diamonds
hydrogen - there's water
oxygen - there's water (and air)
phosphorus - none to be found
sulfur - we got brimstone

spring helm
earnest flare
#

so like

#

phosphorus is the only thing that could prevent life from coming about naturally it seems

civic salmon
#

We don't know that there's no phosphorus, we just know that we don't acquire it

earnest flare
#

if any of yall can find any

#

then yes, life could've evolved naturally

spring helm
#

there's also nitrogen

civic salmon
#

Some kinds of molotov cocktail use phosphorus

earnest flare
#

the atmosphere is mostly nitrogen so yeah

civic salmon
#

But I think this is a goofy question because either 1. Life in Terraria has phosphorus in it, in which case we can safely assume that there is phosphorus around or 2. Life in Terraria doesn't have phosphorus, in which case we don't need to worry

earnest flare
#

Life in Terraria has phosphorus in it, in which case we can safely assume that there is phosphorus around
the whole point of this discussion is to figure out if the world soul was needed to create life, if it needed to intervene by creating phosphorous, then sure

civic salmon
#

Either the World Soul originated life or it didn't, I don't think an analysis of materials will answer that

earnest flare
#

an analysis of materials will answer if life could've evolved naturally

#

... and if life didnt evolve naturally
then yeah we have a place to look to

civic salmon
#

But Terraria is a fantastical world with magic, maybe life did naturally evolve there but without phosphorus. But it may be that life in Terraria doesn't have phosphorus in it but the World Soul still created it. All four squares in that table are possible, so it doesnt' tell us anything

earnest flare
#

i mean theres also the slight offchance that all life in terraria has migrated from the distortion since that place is older

real silo
#

if phosphorus wasn't there before and the world soul added it in a patch, how would we even know that there wasn't any phosphorus around

civic salmon
earnest flare
#

we'd never lmao

#

from a storytelling standpoint theres no reason to answer it because
a. no character remembers there being no life on the planet
b. who cares

civic salmon
#

You're the one who asked!

earnest flare
#

sir this is lore discussion

#

anything goes

#

if its unanswered, its a question

civic salmon
#

Which means I am allowed to overanalyze your overanalysis of the presence of phosphorus in Calamity Terraria šŸ˜‡

spring helm
#

Regardless of the origins of life, evolution in my eyes must have been influenced by the presence of mana. Mana exists almost everywhere in Calamity, from the far reaches of space to the souls of living beings.

civic salmon
#

Ah shit that brings up a good point, souls

earnest flare
#

mana is not stored in the soul, infact

civic salmon
#

The bane of metaphysicians everywhere

earnest flare
#

mana is stored in the bones

spring helm
#

Here's another thing about souls, they linger.

earnest flare
#

this is canon

spring helm
#

When we kill certain beings, they leave behind souls.

civic salmon
#

and since mana ISN'T stored in the soul we can't just say that the soul is the mind + extra magic (which is how some settings handle souls)

#

damn it, that complicated things

spring helm
#

From Skeletron Prime, we know that souls can harbour emotions.

#

And knowing that even non-sentient life can leave behind souls, how would that effect ecosystems and their development.

#

Imagine being some sort of predator animal, and you kill and eat prey. What if the prey you ate left behind it's soul, and its anger at being killed caused it to become a ghost or polterghast?
How would this affect predator and prey relationships?

dusty saffron
#

well you probably mess with the souls when you eat the animal

zealous pier
earnest flare
#

see!

#

being logical in a fantasy game is fun

zealous pier
#

theres a difference between being logical and attempting to bring fact into fiction

earnest flare
#

well then i dont see the difference

spring helm
zealous pier
#

logic is the ability to conduct reasoning

#

stating that life requires phosphorus to evolve is not logic, it is quoting a scientific fact

earnest flare
#

umm ok

zealous pier
#

what i am saying is that it is illogical to attempt the use scientific fact to describe non-scientific fiction

#

it's fiction, literally nothing is impossible

dusty saffron
sleek halo
#

mana is also stored

#

in your soul

zealous pier
#

it is unreasonable and frankly imbecilic to conclude that life could not have evolved in terraria because there is no phosphorus in the game

sleek halo
#

but bones would be the biggest deposits of it

earnest flare
#

mana is stored in the bones, its literally canon

zealous pier
#

it is not bound by logic

sleek halo
#

I’d imagine mana flows through you

dusty saffron

#

just in general

#

but the big reserves and such

#

are stored in your bones

zealous pier
sleek halo
#

so true

sleek halo
#

i was there when reb said it

#

but just cause it’s stored in bones doesn’t make it exclusive to bones

#

your soul having mana would make perfect sense

#

maybe not as much

#

but at least some

sinful adder
#

It doesn't make sense for mana to be exclusively in bones

#

Bones just have a lot of mana in them

sleek halo

I view it as

they’re the largest

deposits of it

in your bodu

but overall, especially in mages like scal

is that just for humans or?

i mean tbf

we don’t know the elemental chart

its magic

sleek halo

of calamity

real silo
#

you're magic

sleek halo
#

and I doubt we ever will sadly

#

ehich sucks

solar wharf
#

i mean idk if this is canon or not

sleek halo
#

cauxe i’m a big micro bio guy

solar wharf
#

but the player might not even be able to use magic

#

every time he tries to he needs a weapon to do that

#

compared to archmage or calamitas

#

they dont need todo that

sleek halo
#

also iirc scal has her book

#

right

sinful adder
#

Phosphorus isn't an issue. There's obviously goddamn phosphorus in the world. It just isn't explicitly stated to exist

solar wharf
#

yeah but isnt it implied scal can just use it whenever?

sinful adder
#

Anyways, magic just works like that

Books and crystals do magic

# sleek halo of calamity

the periodic table of calamity as far as i can tell is

brimstone
sand
earth
water
fire
cursed fire
shadow fire
frost fire
death
providence
light
primordial light
souls
phantom souls
the distortion
auric
lightning
red lightning
clouds
slime
etc.

#

notice how most things are just different colored other things

solar wharf
#

isnt auric just a combination of all of the above

sleek halo
#

man

#

auric and gold

solar wharf
#

because it takes powers from the very domain themselves

zealous pier
sleek halo
#

must fucking suck

#

to both exist

#

at the same time

#

for a periodic table

zealous pier
real silo
#

gold vs cooler gold

sleek halo
#

yes but they’d both be shortened to likely

#

au

#

(that or they just shorten gold a different way)

real silo
#

Let's just assume people are actually sensible and named gold Go or something

solar wharf
#

would auric even be placed into a periodic table

#

its a supernatural material

real silo
#

Mfs always using latin

solar wharf
#

it isnt normal

zealous pier
real silo
#

It's not

sleek halo
#

it’s magical maybe dragon maybe not shit

real silo
#

It's only a compound because we needed it to be

#

Xeroc and yharim's auric is probably pure

zealous pier
#

we force auric to work for us with yharon's soul fragments so its weaker

solar wharf
#

xeroc can use it the same reason why yharim can

#

he has no auric soul

#

he was attuned to zeratros

Mana is calcium. What would this mean for life? Calcium is involved in a lot of biological processes, the two major ones being structural support in the form of bones and as a cell signalling molecule.
Replacing the element calcium with mana has interesting implications.
We know that mana can be found as a physical substance, or at least close to it as evident by stars. So it would be able to do all the things that calcium should, as long as it chemically reacts in the same way.
But if mana reacts chemically identically to calcium, what does that say about magic?
Using mana, magic can create almost any phenomena, from creating lightning to bringing back the dead (albeit imperfectly).

zealous pier
#

he absorbed zeratros' soul

#

zeratros is dead

#

dead as hell

solar wharf
#

yeah but gods soul arent auric soul

#

providence cant use auric

#

no gods can

#

only attunement mortals can

zealous pier
solar wharf
#

yea

zealous pier
#

šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

solar wharf
#

but he was able to use it back then

#

as a mortal

#

because he was attuned to zeratros

zealous pier
solar wharf
#

if gods were able to use pure auric then yharim wouldnt have won lmao

#

exactly

zealous pier
solar wharf
#

he cant use it anymore now

zealous pier
solar wharf
#

?

spring helm
#

But if mana is able to do all of that with magic, then why is it seemingly limited in scope within living bodies? Unless of course it's not.
If mana has the all important role of calcium in living beings, who's to say it does not have other effects?

solar wharf
#

does mana even have a physical form or?

spring helm
#

stars

zealous pier
solar wharf
#

arent those just really condensed mana

#

im talking about just like a specific amount of mana

#

would it have a physical form?

spring helm
zealous pier
#

magic is a limitless source of energy but the amount you can tap into varies depending on the being

zealous pier
spring helm
#

And the biological implications of such.

zealous pier
#

mana does everything every element does

#

but when left on its own naturally it behaves in the same way as calcium

#

it is in our bones as calcium because we dont use it all the time

#

when we use mana we use our calcium

#

thats why we will get weak and flimsy if we use too much

solar wharf
#

would that imply mages cant be melee classes after

zealous pier
#

and we get mana sickness that makes us do less magic damage from drinking mana potions because its harder to process so much calcium so fast

#

its why people can get lactose intolerant over time from drinking too much milk

solar wharf
#

oh wait that would also imply melee/ranger would have a shitton of mana for stronger bones to actually support bigger muscles and is just in general more durable no?

zealous pier
#

maybe calamitas' parents just used the wrong formula

#

she's just bleeding mana all the time

#

thats why her hair white

#

and her skin grey

#

its full of milk

real silo
solar wharf
#

DAMN

spring helm
#

Put more mana into your bones

zealous pier
zealous pier
solar wharf
#

what do you even do

#

do you eat mana stars?

#

i mean if its calcium

#

that would make sense

zealous pier
#

just like mana can do anything stem cells can do anything

zealous pier
#

thats why they are sharp and pointy

#

to pierce the bones easier

solar wharf
#

why does the player have that technology in the early game...

#

oh u mean just

What an unfortunate development

what will happen if draedon put exo prisms in himself

zealous pier

he already do

frozen stag
#

???

#

He only say his brain inspired exi

#

*exo

real silo
#

you need exo prisms to power exo computers

#

if his body has exo computers then he definitely already has exo prisms in him

sinful adder
#

It would be unreasonable to expect him to not have already used exo prisms to power himself

novel tulip
#

icl draedon in a similar style to the exo mechs with black metal and exo prisms would look sick

scenic olive
#

Maybe he used a better exo prism

novel tulip
#

😭

untold bluff
#

From reading the decoder communication lines, I guess draedon isn't that bad

#

At least now

#

He literally said he could fix all of his mistakes with the push of a button if it gets too bad

hushed geyser
#

But

#

He didn't

#

And doesn't

#

Actions speak louder than words

untold bluff
#

I'm pretty sure draedon wouldn't tell lies

hushed geyser
#

Why wouldn't he

#

Benefits him = good

cloud ibex
#

I mean he could be telling the truth for all we know

hushed geyser
#

We're talking about the guy who destroyed the jungle basically

cloud ibex
#

Doesn’t change that he’s choosing to not fix things when he could

hushed geyser
#

While working for yharim

#

Or with

#

He probably lied to yharim to do that

untold bluff
#

He said that he would fix it if it started destroying biodiversity in the jungle

cloud ibex
hushed geyser
#

Technically

untold bluff
#

It's not like any jungle creatures in game went extinct

hushed geyser
#

It improved it

cloud ibex
#

He just never fully explained what it is because he didn’t think Yharim would care

hushed geyser
#

So he told a white lie essentially

trim edge
#

draedon doesn't consider the plague a problem yet
jungle creatures are being infected but none are going extinct so he doesn't see it as destruction

cloud ibex
#

I guess unintentionally

hushed geyser
#

Still the point was he doesn't fix everything

#

Even though it's pretty shitty

#

Didn't mr dron do the sulphuric sea too or am I dumb

sulphurous sea was caused by azafure but draedon made it worse

Draedon would literally run thousands of calculations to make the perfect line

Would Draedon treat his employees better than Jeff Bezos

He'd run it like a Chinese factory

I wonder if that draedon hologram's dialogue will be rewritten

The one found just chilling in labs

A lot of it is years old

hushed geyser
#

Draetalk 1.0

#

Compared to draetalk 2.0

buoyant inlet

I imagine that workers that are treated better would be more productive

hushed geyser

Or

haughty ingot
#

I actually have not looked at draetalk 2 yet

buoyant inlet
#

So he might treat them well for the sake of productivity

hushed geyser
#

Replace them when they aren't

untold bluff
#

Yeah I'd expect more from a draedon hologram thing than just saying stuff over and over again

hushed geyser

Draedon would literally run a company into the ground for the funny

Maybe when you go inside the lab he just looks at you like 😐

Doesn't calamity encourage sequence breaking though?

This is pretty minor anyway

buoyant inlet

Well he did gain his knowledge through research, and I imagine those scientists helped him with that

hushed geyser
#

Uneeded stuff isn't necessary

#

Can't waste resources

buoyant inlet
#

Well yeah it's obvious

hushed geyser
#

Draedon doesn't have petty things like emotions (other than disappointment probably)

buoyant inlet

I imagine after this point those scientists would just leave and do their own thing

Not that I can think of?

Nothing that you can sequence break anyway

well, but following the narrator is following Destiny, a predetermined outcome from him

Not books

But they are planned to be reworked

Not specifically books although that may be one way just replaced by proper story telling through the world and shit

buoyant inlet
#

Keeping yharim's pov but be more engaging in terms of gameplay

fierce pagoda
#

ok yeah that makes more sense

#

okay lore wise, what is the difference between regualr necroplasm and the ruinous soul

#

what makes ruinous soul more powerful than regular necropllasm?

haughty ingot
#

I guess it's just a bunch of necroplasm fused together, polterghast is an amalgam of a lot of spirits

fierce pagoda
#

So it has like condensed and turn into very dense soul energy

#

Also its tooltip "a shard of the distant past" what lore implications does that have

haughty ingot
#

Polterghast is made of souls from different time periods of Yharim's crusade, which lasted about 100 years if I'm remembering right.

alr nevermind
its a language thing
serpernt can be translated in many ways and i cant decide which i should call him in the translation

is he like

a literal worm

or a literal serpent

the mythology guy

buoyant inlet

Serpent basically means a snake

molten thunder

i forgot to mention that word serpent can be translated only to like snake or wyrm

idk

its so hard

thats actually a great point u got here
but i dont think that near machanical body structure has or needs to resemble bones or skeleton

n all that

im pretty sure dog is meant to be more of a snake-like creature, considering all of his ties to the snake in the garden of eden
