Yeah basically like that it kinda reminded me of the venom parasite with how it's an ooze and how it shapes itself into stuff so basically half venom half flood 😢
Almost exactly like The Flood in some ways, but it's goop instead of fungus and is sneakier rather than aggressively and openly invading everyone and everything.
Entities like this one sure have become far more interesting and dangerous with the Supernatural Encounters novella. In short, the Bedlam Spirits and even the Celestials have a lot to answer for in the whole span of the Star Wars Multiverse.
I knew The Unknown Regions had some scary stuff. Hyperspace distortions and anomolies,distant worlds and hostile species but damn! I had no idea that what is basically the Star Wars equivilent of The Gravemind or The Brethren Moons was out there!
I think It fits so well to be the physical manifestation of the Dark Side in a corrupted subject. And If It talks is quite literally like a Gravemind or a Marker lol. Imagine a Faction of Dark Lords trained to supress and destroy the Mgnaal Mgnaal. From a perspective of power and strength in the Force. So much potential, I Hope they add to the Unknown Regions 🗿🛸🛸🌌👽🪐🦹🏻🌑
That Mnggal-Mnggal possessed Starweird in that fan art is awesome the Mnggal-Mnggal seems similar to the alien Symbiote from Marvel and Starweirds seem similar to the dementors from Harry Potter
Oh wow Someone is finally covering it!!! I'm using this creature as the enemy in my next star wars tabletop game, and this video will be a great reference! A couple of rebel and a pair of imperial agents will be teaming up to find out what's causing the disappearance of ships in an area near the unknown regions, culminating in them having to attempt to find ancient celestial tech to re-seal a breach in the hyperspace barriers. Edit: Clarified it was a tabletop game. I am NOT a video game developer lol.
Dead Space / Halo vibes amazingly fits so well in the Unknown Regions. Like there is a whole different galaxy Ancient, Uncharted, whispering secrets to the future 🗣️👽🌌🖤🌑☄️
If the Imperials used Mnggal-Mnggal as the reason why the Death Star or even the Galactic Empire as a whole is justified, will those who are pro-Republic sided with them if they saw such an entity for real?
While Mnggal-Mnggal's in-universe origins may be extra-dimensional and behind-the-scenes inspired by Lovecraft, I find it interesting that the name translates from Javanese as 'again and again'.
Id love to see you cover the new expanded edition of star wars: supernatural encounters by joe bongiorno. Its delves deep into the weird stuff of star wars and I love it
You mind bringing back "a clones POV storys?" Those were soo good! I really like this series and it reminded me of the good old days, so I rewatched the POV Storys of Hyporri, mygeeto and so on (also the umbara one) They're amazing and u should definetly do something like this again!
@@davidlozano4507 I have no idea if the Rakata faced it. I just know, as the video said, that it seems that the Celestials may have created the Unknown Regions to cut it off from the rest of the Galaxy. Celestials date back more than 100,000 years BBY. Possibly as much as a million years.
. . . this Being . . . combined, with the Malevolent Spirit of Darth Sidious. . . . the Ultimate Darkness . . . though- even old Palps . . . even as the Sithari- might not be a match, for this Entity's pure Evil . . . . . . still- if The Emperor, did know of this . . . Lifeform- did he ever ask Thrawn, regarding? . . . mmm . . .
I've said this before, the lore of the Mnggal-Mnggal always sounds like a Doctor Who villain to me, that would make a great Crossover I reckon, I could see a 10th/14th Doctor tackling this creature and coming out on top, albeit only just
@@MackeyDeez I was thinking the Mnggal-Mnggal would be comparable to the Vashta Nerada from Series 4 with David Tennant, but sure, I don't know a lot about Dr Strange, and because I can't be arsed to debate my case, so I'll just concede here and say, you win, you're more correct than I am 😜🤣
I think this may have just been written in as an answer to what SW has for horror stories and bogeymen. The major difference being that it's actually present and could end up used in story at some point. That thing could definitely make for a nasty antagonist in a show if they did it well.
I made a campaign that had this THING as a side enemy. Described everything exactly like it was, then sprung it on the characters. Surprisingly all of them made, but the players were terrified. Only did it because they wanted a more "horror-like" experience. Needless to say I was never asked to such a thing again. Now many years later I'm about to start a Starfinder Campaign and I just may introduce something like Mnggal-Mnggal again, as a random encounter or small quest line
There have been many dangers and world enders in the Star Wars universe, some are driven by insticts they can't control like Darth Nillist, but others like Nal Nal are driven by their own free will dreely feeding the fire that is their worst impulses.
When the Death Star and the Base Delta Zero are the calm and measured response.
So basically this is the Star Wars equivalent of The Blob or The Flood. Terrifying

@@davidlozano4507holy shit that would be terrifying Dark lords who can can control it?! Nothing would stop them not even there infighting
Sometimes the horrors beyond comprehension make the galaxy forming a Galactic Empire make sense
That Mnggal-Mnggal possessed Starweird in that fan art is awesome the Mnggal-Mnggal seems similar to the alien Symbiote from Marvel and Starweirds seem similar to the dementors from Harry Potter
Shit like this makes me realise why a Death Star was useful
Or The Sun Crusher.
Way too op death star was enough unless a lot of other things got a massive buff so it's not completely broken@@eren34558
Do you think the Death Star would even kill it? Or would it just fling a bunch of particles mnggal-mmggal throughout space?
@@Kenibuswhat other thing do you suggest, the shadow thing that kills evertything because food cant grow?
@@DINO-9843 I’m not suggesting anything. Just asking something purely for conversation.
Oh wow
Someone is finally covering it!!!

Like there is a whole different galaxy
Ancient, Uncharted, whispering secrets to the future
🗣️👽🌌🖤🌑☄️
You made any other games I would've heard of? The game you're talking about making sounds pretty sick and id definitely try it out when it's released
I’m like 95% sure the game OP is talking about is a tabletop RPG… and Disney won’t bat an eyelid unless OP tries to monetize it.
@@mrwubbs7265 Well I suppose I can try to record and upload sessions, but we already have enough players lol
@@abhishekdas8026 haha yes its a tabletop. The only compensation I get is not having to be the one bringing snacks.
we're finally covering mnggal-mnggal!
the skin of evil!
If the Imperials used Mnggal-Mnggal as the reason why the Death Star or even the Galactic Empire as a whole is justified, will those who are pro-Republic sided with them if they saw such an entity for real?
Soooooo, nurgle rot? The flood? Damn
Nurgle is so proud right now.
This dude really gets around
The Sun Crusher would be a useful cure here
"What is it more brutes?"
"Worse..."
Venom: finally a worthy foe!
Flood: I got here first
While Mnggal-Mnggal's in-universe origins may be extra-dimensional and behind-the-scenes inspired by Lovecraft, I find it interesting that the name translates from Javanese as 'again and again'.
All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again.
Basically the Flood.
great day when our favorite smuggler gives us a new story
I love this channel I just love to listen to the stories at night and learn more about the Star Wars universe it's my favorite place to be
Id love to see you cover the new expanded edition of star wars: supernatural encounters by joe bongiorno. Its delves deep into the weird stuff of star wars and I love it
How would a smuggler, even a galaxy renowned one know anything about the celestials or their relations, when the Jedi themselves didn't have a clue?
He probably asked Lando
I really like these stories. Keep them coming.👍

these are some of your best video, keep them coming!
This is real canon.
And ive heard that those anomalys were created by the selestiols to help defend the galaxy from the infinite empire of rakatan 🤔
Yeah there's a lot of things I would do in the Star Wars Universe but not mess with them!!
Even the name Mngal Mngal sounds scary....why isn't there any stories on this creature.
Some of the characteristics reminds me of the symbiote
I was just thinking that this channel was due for another video and here it is!
My my... This will be a fun story time
Mnggal-Mnggal is basically Koh the Face Stealer on a cosmic scale…
It reminds me more of the Gravemind from Halo.
Creepshow two. Lmfao
Must be some ancient Sith who got carried with his dark side Alchemy and fudged up and turned into a sentient ooze.
No. It predates even the Infinite Empire and the Kwa. Long before the J'daii and the Tho Yor, let alone the Sith.
@@taitano12 the Rakata faced It? Or did something? That thing a lovecraftian threat and the galaxy keeps playing tribial Wars lmao
@@davidlozano4507 I have no idea if the Rakata faced it. I just know, as the video said, that it seems that the Celestials may have created the Unknown Regions to cut it off from the rest of the Galaxy. Celestials date back more than 100,000 years BBY. Possibly as much as a million years.
I didnt watch it yet but its very good for sure
Can we get a compilation video of all of these?
. . . this Being . . . combined, with the Malevolent Spirit of Darth Sidious. . . . the Ultimate Darkness . . . though- even old Palps . . . even as the Sithari- might not be a match, for this Entity's pure Evil . . .
. . . still- if The Emperor, did know of this . . . Lifeform- did he ever ask Thrawn, regarding? . . . mmm . . .
and here I thought Nihilus and Abeloth were the worst thing SW had to offer... Oh, how wrong was I
Did Palpatine know about it?
Sooooo Starwars flodd
Wonder if it came from Otherspace…
Okay, who left the webway gate open in the unknown regions?
More interesting EU lore? Count me in!
The Deathstar don't sound big enough, seriously😵💫 and what is worse, there may well be other things out there more terrible😶
Does it have a naked ankle foot view .
Tf is Thorian doing in star wars
The bot accounts in the comments, lmao.
They’re victims of Mnggal-Mnggal.
Clark Thomas Lee Robert Hernandez Kevin
Rodriguez Frank Johnson Edward Davis Jason
White Jeffrey Jones Michael Johnson Daniel
And here I thought Abbeloth was the only thing to worry about that was as old as the Celestials in the SW Universe
Take a shot every time you hear Mnggal Mnggal 💀
Is that one shot per mnggal mnggall or one shot every mnggal?
@@yxngwood6536 Every
This would be a great Star Wars horror movie
I've said this before, the lore of the Mnggal-Mnggal always sounds like a Doctor Who villain to me, that would make a great Crossover I reckon, I could see a 10th/14th Doctor tackling this creature and coming out on top, albeit only just
More like a Dr. Strange villain.

I want to see the unknown regions in future of star wars
*Joking voice* But if we see them then we will know them and they will cease to be the unknown regions.
Well this is Legends content so don’t hold your breath for Disney to include this.
My question is; if it spreads like this, why isn’t its existence and threat common knowledge to the denizens of the galaxy, regardless of the era?
Hyperspace barriers
Bring the flamer, the heavy flamer.

Okay, so it's the Flood. Since there are no Halo Rings, I guess the Death Star will have to do.
really digging these!!
