Prob exo related stuff
Minecraft diamonds ofc
Miracle matter probably
No
Draedon didn’t have miracle matter when making the armour
Also are those his cheeks on the right
Wait hold on
He gets miracle matter if we make it
The player is the first person to make miracle matter
exo prisms are the infinite energy source right?
That’s his back, not ass
Ye
Basically ye
miracle matter first appeared when the exoprisms inside ares overloaded and melted some of it's insides
Yeah his ass is probably bigger
or something like that

Why are you looking for his ass
No i just thought it was his ass and had to confirm
probably for this reason
Besides it is probably good looking smyways seeing as Yahrim trains all the time
Colgator agrees with prikki confirmed
What is Prikkis opinion
this is the lore
Yharim has no teeth

... nah im not gonna say anything
Calamity ending

calamity-freak-discussion
calamitas irk
Yharim doesnt seem like the healthiest partner to have
Irl*
Hi lore chat

Hello, we found out Colgator likes yahrim
His personality is probably not fit for a relationship
Its ok im on the bridge
Yeah it ain’t
He's a dictator...
Ive always liked Yharims Character
You know who else had a wife and was a dictator ?
No.

my MOM
WHAR
Im going to my aunts house
YESSSSS

Your mom is a lesbian dictator
Understood
...
the best kind of dictator
_ _

He would die before he has the time to think about the question due to age
Not yharim kissing

Can the bridge connect people
Why are you on a bridge

That might be the worst joke ever
you're right
Yes

Yeah you're right
Splendid
Can it make people gayer


Cats

is the bridge an ally
Bunnys taste better
Tgis is stil likr the worst joke ever
But ive never tasted cat so i cant really say
But why ? 😔
is the bridge homophobic?
No Unfortunately

No its gay
"How can i be homophobic? my botch is gay"
My bridge is gay
This one is more reletable
and im goku
My drywall is gay i think
Im also gay
"How can i be gay? My dad is homophobic"
It monologued to me for like 3 hours about it
You just told someone to jump, suicide joking is against rules
Oh
I think you are losing it
Sorry
The voices in my head aren't gay
What????
how
I think that I am sane
im not even gay and some of them are
not with that attitude
Theyre doin their own thing
How are they not making gay thoughts
fair enough
Apparently im gay because i said that i would have relations with a boy if he was feminine enough
I think I am losing it.
But i dont think people understand how feminine they would need to be
Well yeah by definition if you would have sex with someone of the same gender you’re gay
Back to lore
Thats just preference its still gay

by balancing the gay and straight thoughts within your head you can become perfectly stabilized and ascend to a higher plane of existence
hi
hiiii
its about drive its about power
:D
Hellore
Who saif theyre straight
neither straight nor gay, but a third, more sinister thing
The early hardmode ores only show up as you progressively beat the mech trio because Draedon is gatekeeping
did you know the amount of "i"s someone uses in "hi" indicates how much they like you?
No its because of soul keeping
anyways, h everyone
Wha
Hey did you guys see tge new roy teaser

no i did not
:(
h
Think about it, everytime the world is blessed with a new ore it always has something to do with souls/god essences
me
hi cheese
I did . . .
You should join roymain its cool
cryogen?
Cryo ore was always there
cryogen is maybe just permafrost thinking ur cool
It was hidden by permafroost trust
Permafrost stops hiding the ore after you free him
:)
Hiiiiii cheese
that's the uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
cal fangame right
yes
anyways hello everyone i am tired right now
for some reason
i dont know why
Maybe lay down for a bit
it isnt even that late
im inbed
And perhaps sleep
Oh
Too much knowledge sought

no
no
12 hours.
Aerlite= god essence, all harmode ores = souls released from Wof and mechs. Perennial= souls from plantera, Uelibloom = essence of Provi, Auric = soul from Yharon
Ore = concetrated souls confirmed
Sigma
perennial is connected to silva
if an invite can be brought forth from the depths of time i'll join
Silva is still connected to god essence
Well st least i think that souls and ore are linked someway somehow
Dont make me go phonk crashout mode
Isn’t aerialite dragon stuff
also aerialite is draconic not god
I was thinking of god essence since it gets enchanted after tier 2 evil boss
Which are god essence
theres also the fact that auric being auric souls means that yharim would be wearing the armour of dead dragons
Thats kinds sigma

Phonk trollface even
and if it were auric souls how would adding more of them pacify it?
Well im not saying it IS auric souls
Just that its connected to souls in general
Like spawned ore in general is connected to souls in general
Those who know:💀

Woah thats the first time ive seen you use that emote
I thought aerialite got disenchanted after defeating evil boss 2
opposite
Idk
No i dont think he developed aerlite that was orobably fabsol
Yeah thats his name on discord right
A dev just using it in their name for whatever reason
No I’m taking about the dragon not stip
^
I know i was just trolling a bit
Smh
Calamity lore writer stipulatevenus
Phonk scary trollface style
Famously a dragon
It's Dauntless not Stip
have you ever learnt how to be funny? or do you need to go back to clown college?
^^^
I’m going to use you as a meatshield against Calamitas

because i hate what you try to disguise as "jokes"

I know it doesn’t quite fit the lore for EoW, but wouldn’t it be interesting if the Eater of Worlds attacked the Terrarian for breaking the Shadow Orbs, because it's their eggs?
What about the Brain then, would the hearts be weird twisted eggs that birth creepers they use during the fight, which would explain why they attack us?
It's such a small aspect of the lore I doubt we would ever or need to learn what shadow orbs or crimson hearts are.
you will get used to it
though looks like i am not hated anymore cuz i dont try to taste boses
: D
gets hated on
They could be real or necromantic hearts tied to its power
what's the relationship between evil biomes and meteorites
are they reworking the bestiary of all vanilla bosses?
ok yeah the non-canon ones are not gonna get reworks
though i heard they might get some sort of indicator that they're non-canon
bestiary narrator breaking the fourth wall 
_ _
Explode
How challenging would deafeating the pre-hardmode bosses be for a regular person
The starting terrarian is (by default) a normal person with a knife and good jumping skills and stamina
Do with that what you will
okay so they die in one hit
i think for early pre-hardmode a group of trained soldiers could reasonable defeat one
evil bosses 2 onwards probably would require an entire platoon/army
(You know either name works right)
(My base name is StipulateVenus)
I know it's an irrelevant detail to the lore because it will never happen
but if a dragon gives a soul to a human willingly
does the soul of the human turned god still comes out messed up and distorted?
like does the process gets a 'smoother' transition to the soul by being consensual?

do they know?

yes the thing is you dont know the ritual 
I meant the hypthetical that a dragon gives the ritual
like, if the human knows the ritual and the dragon gives their soul
does the god soul still become an abomination mess?
alright I think I'm being too vague so I'll try to be more specific
if a god gets their dragon soul willingly, can they absorb a god soul themselves, or absorb an extra dragon soul?
Fancy seeing you here, Spider
Nope, because ascension still involves merging the souls
So absorbing other souls after ascending is equally dangerous regardless of the situation
Absorbing the soul of a willing dragon probably would can less mutation than otherwise
Though the biggest factor in godly mutation is tied to the person ascending, not the dragon
just so you know,
Silva, the Goddess of Life, looks identical to before her ascension
(It isn't known whether the Life Dragon was willing)
Otonilou is almost identical, Tyrian changed little, Xeroc changed a good deal
Providence and Slime God changed a lot
Did xeroc change as much as the fan made interpretation of him?
you know, the flying thing with many hands
and on fire
Are you talking about Nameless Deity?
Because that isn't even an interpretation of Xeroc
^
I meant the total calamity one
but nameless deity isn't xeroc wdym?
Isn't that just old lore xeroc?
Nope
This one?
It became its own thing
yeah is it anywhere close to this level of mutation?
It's a middle term between this and unchanged
got it
Is this Xeroc?
No way Providence wasn’t a floating rock/wood moth on fire pre-ascension?
Is that a fan addon?
Rp as in roleplay?
Yes
I looked it up and it says BoC is a fucking elder god, so uh, that's more bullshit than HP-00 Hypnos
Well yeah it clearly says it's not canon
Yeah total calamity wiki is people role playing
Altraxia
I am the bone of my sword
No
Still, could they not have come up with something better tham that? Yhorm is more realistic than that shit
Fair enough
Yhorm jumpscare
Idk man let them have fun
That’s a bit rude tbh
Not their fault people keep thinking their stuff is official
Don't disrespect Yhorm, he's a masterpiece
Honestly, Yhorm would be a good boss fight for GFB
Yeah
Why not?
A lot of things can be argued with why not
But... Yhorm is fun to say
Why not add a 4th and 5th exo mech it'll be funny
why not make the gravity random it'll be funny
So on and so forth
Those aren't as iconic as Yhorm though
Destroyed with facts and logic
I only heard of Yhorm from you
But you HAVE heard of it 
I'm not even the person that started calling it Yhorm
The name had already been bestowed upon it when I got here
I'm just spreading the inescapable truth that Yhorm is out there
I think that i'd rather have a random aerealite book become a boss than that
At least it would give me cool lore
what about an aerialite broom
That's actually an awesome concept
Like, a book made of aerealite, or a book somehow possesed by aerealite?
That's actually an awesome idea ngl
Maybe someone would've invented it if the sky civilization hadn't collapsed
Do we know anything about that btw? Was it a civilization of harpys, or were there humans living up there?
Hmmm. But maybe they got turned into Harpies?
Oh
Well, I mean, something had to have happened at some point. Either someone put a curse on a bunch of people or humans somehow started breeding with birds
Not sure why you assume Harpies were human in origin
They have human faces
Other creatures have human-like expressions - Ilmerians, Demons, Lihzahrds
Yeah, but they don't have the exact facial structure of a human, nor do they have hair on the top of their head - a human trait
No other species has hair specifically on the top of the head without just being covered in fur
Plus the Bestiary describes them as demi human women
It is getting a new bestiary entry in SSO
Wait what, where did they come from then
Their hair is blue, so there's something inhuman about them, and their overall body is as inhuman as Lihzahrds
Other races can have almost identical facial structures (like Goblins), some Ilmerians, arguably Lihzahrds
Their Bestiary is being rewritten, yeah
Nymphs and Dwarves are the closest races to humans in appearance
Where they come from and how sapient they are will be answered in SSO
¯_(ツ)_/¯
😡
I’m not mad but I am mad
I wanna know
Wait
Vortex of Shadows

Wonder what that could mean
Wait - the Demolitionist is like a fictional species of Dwarf? I thought he just had Dwarfism
He straight up says he’s a dwarf
Yeah, but I assumed he was still human
Yeah, I think vanilla implies it as an actual race
Look it was the coolest way to say "tornado" without saying "tornado"
Usually Dwarves are like really tiny, so I had just assumed he was a normal dude with Dwarfism. The more you know I guess.
Like Gnomes
Gnomes in Terraria are weird
Very strange species that isn't very prominent
But anyways
The only currently ingame (canon) information about the sky civilization is:
- The Sky Islands aren't a natural formation, instead being upheaved somehow
- Sunskaters were considered a good omen to the sky civilization
- Storm Weaver now feasts upon its remnants
- Aerialite has something to do with draconic essence
Alright, time to craft my theory: The sky islands, along with the planetoids, were upheaved during the battle against Fovos. The weird space time distortion fuckery caused by an interdimensional being such as Fovos is what allows them to float. The Aerialite ore contains small remnants of the auric souls of dragons who died during the battle, although much of the higher concentrations have likely been transported to the distortion somehow (Not sure if storm weaver works like DoG, I know they are different species, but if he can transfer that energy to Noxus, that's probably where the higher concentrations of auric essense went). If I had to guess, the Harpies were a "holy" civilization created by the gods, who saw sunskaters as a good omen due to their resemblance to the dragons. For that same reason, they probably fell out of the gods' favor after learning too much about what happened and got smited, leaving little behind
Chrysadia predates Fovos' invasion iirc
Tf is Chrysadia
The planetoids are older than everything
Name of the sky civ
Draedon says this
Note that the Planetoids are confirmed by Draedon as natural geological formations
Ah, alright. Is the rest of the theory viable in any capacity?
When does he mention the sky city? I don't recall anything about that
Chrysadia was the first civilization fovos hit
He doesn't mention it, he mentions that the planetoids are older
And likely natural
The same draedon log that talks about planetoids also talks about the sky islands being upheaved
Only a passing mention though iirc
I feel like the Harpy theory has to be correct, considering that we know they were created after the Fovos incident, and that they weren't formed naturally
What harpy theory
I think everything else is reasonable as far as theories go
You don't know they were created after the Fovos incident
You know they came around after
Not necessarily being created then
huh?
Whar
Unless "came around" means became more prevelant, then Harpies aren't from this planet
Well this statement is actually true because the planet isn't Earth 
Yeah lol
The planet is Terraria
You have quite the bold theories
I find it odd that they would sprout up out of nowhere, so maybe Fovos ripped a hole in spacetime and they came through?
Wait, I thought Terraria was just the island we were on?
This is strange theory crafting I must say
Distortion creatures all seem explicitly non human
I never said it was from the Distortion
We are on a continent
Terraria is the planet
Tiny ass continent then
Known as "the Heartlands" from dev statements
You're saying the distortion created a wormhole to another planet and that's how harpies came here?
No. It has no relation to the distortion
World gen-wise
Fovos distortion blah same thing
I'm saying that Fovos, being an interdimensional being or otherwordly being of some sort, could have brought harpies through one of the rifts he created. We've seen that the rituals involving him can summon pillars from other planets that clearly aren't related to the distortion
That isn't stated
There are also the martians, which may not be related to Fovos, but prove that other civilizations exist out there
We just know that it is a really strong space squid looking guy
That invaded and beat the living crap out of some birds
It isn't. It's shown. The pillars spawn when you interrupted the Lunatic Cultists ritual
Moon Lord is the remains of Fovos
I'm talking abt the inter-dimensional being part
Those are the same thing.
Fovos is ML
ML is Fovos
Remains imply that it died
That's literally what I just said
Which it did not die
No, remains imply that it is all that remains of a once ultrapowerful being
semantics semantics
It is a fraction of its former self, therefore it is all that remains of its former self
It's not even said how fovos appeared on the planet
It is never confirmed to be Fovos' doing tho
Or that they came from other planets
Did he teleport? Did he just fall out of the sky? Did he appear from a rift?
Right, but he DID appear on the planet. Meaning he wasn't there in the first place. Meaning he is either from another dimension or planet
I'm not saying it is. I'm saying that a ritual being performed to seal/unseal Fovos causing celestial events when interrupted probably means that Fovos has some connection to celestial events
I said interplanetary OR interdimensional
He could be either from another planet or another dimension
Deus is interplanetary. DoG is interdimensional
now why would he bring harpies with him
Not on purpose
harpies going into mystery holes and being transported to another world
Just like isekai!
He was powerful enough to beat thousands of dragons for a good amount of time before being sealed away. I'm sure he accidentally created some rifts when attacking or when he arrived
This assumes that he uses rifts to attack
And? I said it was a theory
Except like the ML fight, but it is super weakened
It's an outlandish assumption of course people will try to debunk it
I never claimed that any of it had any grounds to be true. I'm just basing stuff off of what we know
I don't think it is. DoG can create rifts and he is likely WAAYY less powerful than Fovos was at his peak
DoG rifts are super unstable
Fair enough
Also, Moon Lord technically appears through a rift when you fight him
No he just appears
?
We don't know how
He doesn't just teleport - the entire sky changes to darkness
Similar to how DoG changes the sky color
That's not what a rift is
It is unknown how he gets to you
Is night time a rift
All we know is that it was on the moon
Is an eclipse a rift
And then attacks you
No, but it's a sign of one. Time and space don't just change without a cause
(But DoG's sky color isn't tied to his teleporting)
Signus can tp but he doesn't turn the sky dark
And eclipse isn't an instantaneous shift in the entire color of the sky surrounding environment
And you'd assume more powerful beings can create more stable rifts
He isn't that powerful
CV is a literal rift and it doesn't turn the sky dark
Like, in an extreme example, Ceaseless Void
Right, space time is broken by the rifts he summons, it doesn't just go back to being normal right afterwards. It's still being altered by DoG. The gravity changes during that fight, that doesn't just happen without some sort of change to space time
It's a stable one
Smh Yharon uses rifts
I'm not saying all rifts do that. But unstable ones do. Moonlord has a fraction of his former power, so the sky change would make sense
Rift doesn't sound like a real word now
I can't believe this
Signus rifts are unstable too
I also never said that rifts are the only reason that the sky can change color. In Yharon's case, it's clearly the heat that is tinting the screen. The entire background doesn't just change to black, or some exotic color, and gravity doesn't get all wonky
Bestiary entry for cosmic mine
A rift could make the sky dark like that if the rift was too big to see the edge of
They are too small to cause a large scale break in spacetime, like something that would affect the entire sky
Some parts of calamity lore seem a lot like the recent Kirby game lore
Forgotten land
I can't believe that exos make rifts
I'm pretty sure the sky is only black during death mode dog
They don't
rev has purple and blue skies
I'm talking about ML
you are
ML has pitch black background
Black background does not mean rift
It's like you are in between dimensions. Some of the structures from Terraria are there, but everything else is gone
same as scal and clone
I mean, it may well not be, but I don't see why it has to be a rift or dimension linking thing
If the sky turned black in the middle of the day, and all of the houses in the background just dissapeared, and there was a giant flash of blue light with a giant space squid appearing, would that be normal to you?
But why would Fovos, at the height of his power, have unstable rifts that accidentally bring creatures from other places
A rift doesn't have to be an interdimensional rift. Rift just means portal. The portal gun creates rifts
Of course not. But it would have absolutely nothing to do with rifts or portals or anything
Or at least, it wouldn't have to
He would be focusing on just killing as many dragons as he could to survive, it was a massive fight. Would you really care about making sure that your rifts are stable when you are fighting for your life? It isn't a case like with the Terrarian where a boss underestimates you
I have yet to figure out what this pointer finger emoji means
I think you are making far too many assumptions with your statements
Why wouldn't it be?
Did somebody say fovos?
Speak of the devil land he shall appear
It means "yes, this"
It was winning easily for most of the fight
If it's unstable how does it last long enough for some random birds to go through them
Invaders tend to not be fighting for their life
God discord
Well, he got sealed away, don't you think he was being overwhelmed for that to happen? It's not like he just completely ignored the fact that he was dying
Yeah, the dragons lost a lot of casualties. But they won
But yet it didn't die
The dragons were unable to kill it
I suspect it got weaker over time after being sealed
Yeah but why would he have to create rifts constantly throughout the fight when the Pillars are largely stationary mob spawners
I'm agreeing with what you said
Because you could summon enemies, suck dragons in, stuff like that. Might not make a whole lot of sense from a logical standpoint, but it's video game boss logic
(Theory)
I don't see any reason that it could do this. It might, but we have no evidence
We're talking about a being that can dislodge its eyes from its sockets and use them as massive laser cannons when at it's WEAKEST point, I don't think it's out of the question
Of course it's not out of the question, but it's also like saying "this thing is really strong so it should have this arbitrary power"
The questions are
- Why wouldn't he use enemies right off the bat?
- Where would he send the Dragons to?
Again, I'm not claiming it is. I'm just having fun theorizing
And yeah, ultimately it's just theorizing
Wdym why wouldn't he? I'm saying that he did
If he did use enemies right off the bat, he wouldn't need to keep using rifts, tho
Just at the start to summon all the enemies
Right, but he has to sustain them to keep summoning enemies
How many enemies do you think he has
If he stops to focus on fighting then... it leaves room for error. They could collapse or become unstable and bring in other creatures like the Harpies
This seems unnecessary and convoluted
If he was powerful enough to win against several Dragons and had a gigantic army, he would have won the war
Probably the entire population of his home planet or dimension or whatever, he's easily the most powerful being where he comes from
Like saying "Superman is strong so he could teleport minions in a fight"
It does not make sense
Well, I mean, the enemies would probably be weak asf
Compared to the dragons anyways
They'd be more of a distraction
If they were weak that'd be a waste of time
Then why spend your powers bringing them if they don't pose a legitimate threat
To preoccupy the dragons. If they ignore them, they get overwhelmed. If they take them out, they have fovos to worry about
If you let them amass then they become an issue
Well judging by how he still lost
The plan definitely didn't work
Dragons probably divided the tasks
But also this is a really convoluted way of explaining how harpies appeared
Clearly the plan failed if that was indeed the case, yeah. The dragons were likely stronger and more numerous than he predicted, but what else was he supposed to do at that point? Stop summoning them? Then he's even more cooked, because all of the dragons are entirely focused on him. The division of forces would have at least been what stopped them from fully killing him though
I forgot that was what this was about lmao
Idk, probably had a big ego or something. If he thought he was the strongest being in the universe, then he would be overconfident
I don't think he'd rely on fodder if he had a big ego
If he was smart enough to use enemies as tools of distraction, then it is likely that he would know when to leave if he knew he was losing
Commanding an army is still a powerful thing. Maybe he wanted to show off that an entire planet/dimension bows down to him, as an intimidation tactic
People can be smart but also ignorant
Who was to say that ML thought like a person
Luckily for you, we will know the entire answer in the coming months next year

I have a few months to make a theory about everything and then get proven wrong about all of it when the update comes out
If I'm somehow correct about the Harpy theory, Fabsol should give up ownership to me
Clearly that would be a sign that I know what's best for this mod. More Harpy lore. More Harpy enemy varients. A Harpy class.
The possibilities of things that can be done but shouldn't be done are endless
I just realized I posted a snippet of the Harpy entry here
You should be more specific
Thanks for saying that AFTER the discussion that mentioned Harpy 2 million times, digging through the chat logs is gonna be a nightmare...
The Harpy snippet very clearly has "Harpy" written on it
The cropped image without identification isn't the Harpy entry, but it's still an entry I wrote, obviously
I can't share other people's development work without permission
Wait I was thinking of a different one

This is what you're talking about
I shared:
- A snippet of the Harpy entry
- A snippet of the Wyvern entry
- A snippet of a mysterious entry
- The full "Gilded Axolotl" entry for the new Sunken Sea
Yeah
It's pretty basic, just a continuation of the vanilla entry
So they are probably animalistic
Not necessarily
I thought you said Harpies weren't related to Chrysadia?
I said they weren't originally from Chrysadia
Which this entry makes clear
I just noticed the entry doesn't specify how sapient they are
But I imagine them as fairly sapient, in a tribal state
Okay, that makes sense
Oh, and I also revealed Vetrasyl's previous design more recently
While I cook up what will be the final design
Honestly, I think you guys should try to guess the mysterious entry
It's not that hard tbh
Comparing it to the vanilla version
Who is Vetrasyl
Dragon of Storms
Where is that mentioned?
Not ingame yet
(This is currently not canon, but implied in canon)
The Dragon of Storms, whom Otonilou absorbed to ascend
I see
The first guy to get jumped by Moon Lord
Are they going to be important?
Which
Will probably be mentioned in SSO
Bone serpent perhaps?
is calamitas supposed to have grey or black (as in #000, not african american) skin? someone is trying to tell me she looks black, but her sprite honestly gives her red skin imo, and her plush is grey
“Man, it is hot as hell in this fucking hot ass Chrysadia.
IS THAT THE GRIM REAPER?!??!!!?”
She is gray
The redness is from her magic
the damn shading throwing me off smh..
This one, Altraxia
Yes, her skin is a desaturated ash color
?
2 things:
- She is gray, the redness is her face being illuminated by her brimstone magic
- Not every black person is an African "American", especially not someone from Terraria where neither of those continents exist
#YharimTruthers
That sounds like the the
lol i was just saying african american to specify that i meant #000, not black as in the human race. its ok.
The weapon enemies from underground corruption/crimson/hallow
Chaos elemental?
I forgot their names
Nope
The crimson axe corrupt hammer and hallowed sword
Just analyze the phrasing to nail things down
I don't blame you. Just a common mistake I see people make that I like to correct because in my experience, people who aren't Americans generally hate being associated with America - specifically the United States
it's not that big of a deal
Now that I think about it though... where do you think each race originates from in Terraria? I wonder what the different cultures of the other continents are
I was gonna say pigron but it's not on the list of the new bestiary entries
cryptic artifacts=supposedly an object
corrupted by divine =either profaned or evil biomes
caves=underground (probably underground evils)
hostile=evil
It would be cool to see that fleshed out a bit more, such as bestiary entries that describe traditions from other continents
so my guess is the three weapon enemies
Are pigrons related to dragons in any way?
I already gave you another tip - we try to keep some elements similar to the vanilla entry
So comparing the mystery entry with vanilla entries should clarify things
terraria is one hell of a continent to have desert, deciduous forest, tropical forest, arctic areas (which existed prior to permafrost, though yes he made it worse), Two Separate Oceans (one of which is radioactive and somehow not making the world fucked up),
Yep
They are descendents of the frost dragon
frankly i figured terraria was some kinda pangea continent and nothing else exists on this world
Enchanted sword, crimson axe and cursed hammer
Nah, too small for that
Yeah, but I mean like in terms of traditions. I think it's really cool when a game leans into having a variety of different cultures present within it, it really adds a lot of life to the characters and the locations
Do you want me to confirm or deny that
It's none of those
Agreed
What entry are we theorizing?
oh i dont disagree but i do think it's worth considering if there's even other continents on this world. you could easily just have different cultures within terraria itself - which would make sense, because the ways of living between these drastic biomes is different. hell even within a biome, people will go about it radically different.
(though i suppose you could say something about the gods linking together people in the same biome if we wanted less complex shit)
"yeah everyone in the jungle lives the same because uhhhhhhhh idk silva united them" something like that
when, realistically speaking, there's probably like minimum of a dozen different groups within each biome
not that it matters since yharim killed 99% of the fucking population 
the current terraria culture is probably homogenous simply because there's not enough people to have differences. everyone's gathered 'round under the terrarian.
Granite Golem?
There are other continents
Not on the list
It is
I saw sands of time
Naturally, I didn't include the best part of the entry
And thought that was too stupid of a connection, so i ignored it at first
Let me see, I wrote very few entries for the Vanilla Bestiary rewrite
Oh damn already
paying fabsol to give me a map including plate tectonics
i imagine terraria is Very Long regardless. like kinda africa shaped, where it's more tall than wide.
My ass was too busy looking for the mimic entry 💔
Terraria is the planet
"terraria" in this case is what im referring to the continent as
i dont think we have a canon name for it
Maybe they're a flat eather Terrariaer 
We happen to play on the most devastated of the continents
Where the Crusade began and whatnot
Alright, so the only other Vanilla entries I wrote are The Guide and Bone Serpent, both of which I'll leave for SSO
So Sunken Sea entries it is
Ooh, Guide is a good one
i wanna see how cal explains him and the wall of flesh.
unironic im so hyped for vanilla bestiary rewrites
i know programming takes time and i dont want to make anyone feel rushed, but im a lore fan so im also just sitting at my computer like 
when the dialogue rewrites drop im gonna be hitting everyone up nonstop
I think Vetrasyl is pulling up the bestiary entry for a dead eel or something
it will also be very funny when my fanfic immediately becomes inaccurate, because i have my own headcanons that ive had to put in since we dont have this lore atm 
I wanna know how the poor guy got chopped in half
Everyone, say a number between 1 and 47, and one Sunken Sea mob you'd like the see the entry of
Just say it’s canon to your world 
36, Sunken Scourge
im not gonna keep yelling bc i dont want to spam but PLEASE
Sunken Scourge. We know very little about them as a species
Slugbun has been stated to be
13, Lazarus Lampfish
Fellow Scourge enthusiest I see
ehh my fic is only canon to PPR anyway, since i wont rly be including SSO stuff. it's based on my friend and i's playthru
just have to attach a disclaimer about that if i ever publish it anywhere but the depths of my private discord server
I made the elementals way stronger in mine because I thought it would be fun
7, Kelpie Seadragon
i do not care if it's boring to be honest, i love them too much
they're so baby
slugbun lore is lore still 🥺
Same. We need Scourge lore
Not the most boring, but pretty boring compared to others
listen im sliding $20 under the table for this /j
That could be used for the pbg tier of the patreon for 1 month
and it's worth it
So, the options are
- 4 - [unknown]
- 7 - [unknown]
- 13 - [unknown]
- 20 - Slugbun
- 31 - Kelpie Seadragon
- 37 - Sunken Scourge
- 38 - Lazarus Lampfish
You'd be more lucky to find a friend than a monster these days...
37
Scourge
Do you guys want me to spin the wheel, or choose one?
37
spin the wheel. it's most fair.
2 people want 37
yes but it is more fair to everyone else considering most people DONT want 37
Whats happening rn?
I'm not gonna give you guys the one you ask the most for, to be clear
It's not how it works
you arent a majority just because there's 2 of you
??? Wdym most people. It's just you. There are 3 votes
Yeah I know
You can't just speak for everybody else
Btw, to have a little bit of fun, I won't tell you guys who the entry belongs to
there's... 5 people who voted though.
i love guessing
That's not even one of the options. It's 7, 13, 20, 31, 37, or 38
It's between 1-47
ueh uh scavneger
It counts
Alright
Also that's the first time I've seen le axolotl
Scavenger is a crab tho
Spun the wheel
Scavengers are funny
Quite coincidental....
Piglin bartering
I love them they're so silly
I swear if it was slugbun
We'll know
We're getting the full entry I believe with just the name blurred out
Fair
Which one though? Calamity has like 50k gods
I'm questioning whether I should reveal it
Capital G
I mean, I would hope that an entry would say enough about the creature that you could put two and two together. It wouldn't be that great of a bestiary entry otherwise
Let's see whether you can guess it from the end alone
If you can, I'll share the whole entry
Aight, bet
Yippee
Surely the 5 of us can figure it out
Scavenger
Yeah
Yeah lol
That's too obvious
Yipeee
Lmao that was easy
My last minute pick got chosen
Thank you God 🙏
Number 7 was Scavenger too, so you didn't add it to the list
Unfortunately discord is not loading the fucking images
Scavenger was a good pick ngl
So they are not related to crabulons
Nope
That's good to know
boohoogus
That's another mob
Crab jr
Who hasn't been revealed yet
Scourge
Oh, like unrevealed unrevealed
Ye
Which is ironic, because Crabulon's original name was Mycelial Titan
Mermititan sounds like a crab
I remember that conversation
Is it a crab?

Of course it is a crab
Hermititan is an unfungled crabulon
Oh. I didn't even piece that together. I just thought the name sounded crab-like
little funny guys
This implies crabbe is a hermit crab
Timeless shores too
Is Crabulon getting a resprite anytime soon?
Yet crabbue doesn't look like one...
(Smaller, unfungled crabulon)
Firstly, because Crabulon is all bloated, secondly because only the smallest individuals of their species were able to retreat to the Sunken Sea
Crabulon will hopefully get a resprite in SSO
Yay
Triangle is cooking it
Fair
Mushroom crab!
Is it 100% done or
Nope
iirc triangle hasn't started it
It's quite coincidental you guys got Scavenger
Since most of their stuff is public
A Scavenger spoiler was posted today
Which is why I wasn't particularly fussed about revealing the entry
triangle has insanely good sprites so tbh im hyped if theyre doing crab
Also hi Cei
Acid Rain sprites . . .
hi :D
Hei
hi
I picked scave specifically because of that
Such silly
every single one triangle posts is just banger after banger
Never seen you before but hi!
scavangers are goofy little guys i love them
i was tryign to think of a bad joke to make about them but i couldnt
i shall return to onyx lab log writing
speaking of sprites, i do wonder if the DS sprite will be modified at all. it got a lot of flak. a lot of it was pretty dumb ("why is he blue now :(" have u seen AS recently?) but some of it was pretty fair
It will be modified
i know DoG got an update after the big reveal
they (idk pronouns) seemed pretty upset about the reception, so if they dont, i cant blame them
Yeah
But we can't really assume too much
Since they are also helping with the NT resprite
and Polter
Why did the Scavenger cross the underwater road? To get away from Calamitas 
it is so goddamn annoying how people will celebrity-ify anyone 😭 random spriter on terraria calamity is not lady gaga with a PR team who filters everything you say

they read all that stuff

something something draedon's first lab something something excavator mk. II something something an actual explaination of early hardmode ores something something soul mech blueprints something something a rough timeframe of when the sulpherous sea became radioactive


then i need to go back to calamitas stuff
Why did I misread that last line as "when the Sulphurous Sea became racist" lmao
This has been an eventful weekend to say the least, but my next lore project (aside from helping with character designs) will probably be miscellaneous Amidias topics
More draedong lore
i mean is is pretty toxic
Yay

You are indeed a lore writer.
What
no i never got a ping
Did you ever get a birthday?
so i never checked back
Wtf does that mean
there's a reason i specifically requested to get pinged becuase i immedaitly went to do other stuff

like sleep
awesome
I have a birthday every year. I also stole somebody’s birthday so now i age twice as quickly and they dont age
Huh
page 2 of the onyx lab log has been dated
Fuck yeah
i like using people's birthdays for the exact dates
Mine is very close to being very unfortunate
but i don't know anybody off the top of my head who's born in feburary
so i figured i'd ask here

What? So like, instead of remembering that an event is on a certain date, you'll remember it by someone's birthday?
Mine is… September tenth. I know somebody born one day later
"What day is the meeting?"
"Oh its on my second cousin twice removed Fred's birthday"
you see every day is someone's birthday
there is no "march" or "nth day"
every day is a unique day
every day is someone's special day
tomorrow could be mine or it could be yours
What if somebody was born on leap day or whatever
Yeah, but our worlds revolve around ourselves and the people we associate with. What days are special varies for everyone. We all have unique experiences, that's what makes us human
