  • In this Rain World animation we see a confrontation that took place on the Outer Expanse before The Hunter's in-game campaign. A battle between two highly skilled slugcats. One of them based on raw strength and strategy, while the other one is agile and can carry more than one spear... Will the Alpha defeat the Sick? Will the Sick achieve it's mission in time? Can't tell you... Enjoy the animation!
    OMGGG I finally finished this one. It took me way longer than I expected (sorry about that). Hopefully the length of the animation (WHICH I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO BE 7 MINUTES LONG HOLY SH-) makes up for the wait! I'm certainly happy with the end result.
    btw none of this is canon at all, It's just my headcanon for how Gourmand already met Hunter before the HLL encounter (which I don't know if it's cannon either lol)
    All the music in this video is from the Rain World / Downpour OST. I only made the animation.
    como 'tan muchacho?

    I absolutely love the characterization in this!
    Gourmand is shown to be kind and bighearted, but when he percieves a threat to his family, he does not respond kindly. Notably, it's only after Hunter scratches Monk that he decides to go full BEAST mode.
    Hunter is aggressive and kinda ruthless, but he's not bloodthirsty, as shown when he has Nightcat (?) at his mercy, but spares him because he's already defeated. The only reason he fights Gourmand to a standstill is because the bigger slugcat made it clear to Hunter that he wouldn't let him leave without a fight.
    All in all, awesome animation! :3

    this is so accurate in terms of the time each campaign takes place! monk and survivor being pups while hunter's campaign was taking place right before gourmand's.
    This actually gave me an idea of a headcanon that after gourmand came back, they immediately migrated because the conditions of the area was becoming too dangerous thanks to pebbles. of course, in the process of migrating, survivor and monk were lost.

    In the context of the video, Hunter is a lone stranger "just passing through town" on a life saving mission, and Gourmand is the well meaning sheriff who just wants to protect his town.

This goes on for a good few seconds before the other slugcat wawas, Hunter stands there for a few seconds before walking around the tribe and they both forget about it in a few seconds.

  • @squirtage0984
    @squirtage0984 10 місяців тому +45

    I like how this also shows the difference between a purposed organism and not so purposed organisms. Hunter has inhuman (inslugcat?) reflexes, being aided by the turbo cancer in the sensory department. They aren't bloodthirsty, they just simply have a goal and won't let anyone stop them from achieving it. Gourmand is protective of their tribe, the most skilled, and the most creative out of all of them. Not that the other slugcats are particularly bad, they're able to aim their shots perfectly at where Hunter is. But they aren't able to even land a scratch on Hunter due to Hunter's bio-engineered enhancements. Gourmand is only able to land a blow due to their sheer tenacity (and mass).
    The cycle counter with the dead slugcat symbol on the neuron seems to very much indicate that NSH had intentionally gave Hunter turbo cancer to motivate them to complete their mission faster. Perhaps NSH was worried that the reset keys would be inefficient if too much time passed, or NSH just wanted Hunter to stay on track. Maybe NSH promised Hunter that their rot problem would be cured if they completed their mission?
    Now I have to wonder how this Hunter fails to ascend. My guess is that they just couldn't figure out the karma thing, because I can't imagine any creature in Rain World being able to stop em.
    I think the area in the end credits scene is the underground water lake in Subterranean, but it might be Garbage Wastes. The karma flower is likely there due to Hunter's death/transformation.
    Also, the animation and use of Rain World music/sound effects is absolutely astounding! I like the usage of different levels of threat theme to indicate the level of danger, as well as other, more sinister, tracks. Like the track that plays when you enter The Leg at 2:32.

    • @TheHazelnoot
      @TheHazelnoot 2 місяці тому +2

      From the description provided in the Hunter's pearl, it never seemed to me like NSH intentionally gave Hunter the rot, more along the lines that NSH had no one else to send, "excuse the unorthodox delivery method, equipment degrading etc". That aside, NSH is indeed a jokey iterator who rarely takes things so seriously, but he rarely seemed so cruel to me, especially not so far as to give a creature the rot simply to motivate it. The risk involved in making Hunter potentially die before delivering their payload would probably also far outweigh the risks. The neuron countdown serving as a warning more than a threat also feels significantly more motivating, at least to me. Would you serve the whims of someone so cruel, so faithfully?

    Oh my god that was amazing! I can't imagine how long this has taken you to animate, so kudos for that alone - but then the storyline of the fight is itself also a masterpiece (not to mention the ending screen with HLL that would explain SO MUCH). The way the stakes were consistently raised and more and more of Gourmand's abilities came into play was outstanding, ditto the way Hunter's neuron shifts to showing the cycle countdown after her injury. The rot cyst being both a sheath for the spear and also having a mind of its own, alarming Hunter of incoming projectiles is also excellent. Just overall a 10/10.

      Also I only now noticed the meticulous math re: cycle count and karma level... wonder if Hunter did so good at the fight because they'd died to it several times already, hence Karma 0.
      (and man, getting the neuron to moon on cycle 0 is pretty damn bitter.)

    The use of SFX from the game was beautifully done, as well as the music! I loved seeing the tribe of Slugcats worrying over Gourmand as well, you can tell they all respect/care for them very much even with sparse interactions. All around a fantastic animation, and 7min to boot??! I almost feel spoiled, lol

    @dinojack5567 10 місяців тому +13

    This is wonderful! Gourmand and Hunter are the closest scugs in the timeline besides Surv and Monk, so this battle could be canon-compliant. It's actually handled great: Hunter's in a hurry and isn't unnecessarily violent, and only throws a spear at Survivor (which was probably a warning shot) and scratches Monk as a warning to 'not get in my way'. However Gourmand as the slugcats' leader interprets all this as a threat (rightfully so).
    I like how Gourmand can survive multiple spear hits (and all his moves are used too, amazing) and Hunter's rot pustule acting as both spear storage and a danger sensor is a very interesting idea. I like how Hunter's scar is also caused by shrapnel, and his expression of "WHAT THE FU-" when Gourmand did his stompy move as well as Gourmand's realization that Hunter can throw 2 spears one after the other was cool. Oh and baby Survivor and Monk are the cutest.

      Well; permadeath is near impossible in the Rainworld, so the only way to get out of the gene pool would be to get "softlocked". This could mean the creatures of Rainworld have evolved to pause ageing at a certain point, remaining not only useful to the tribe's survival but also fertile at the cost of something not significant enough to out-cost the benefits.
      If not; then The Ancients likely did some gene-manipulating to ensure they don't age and hence have to be maintained as harshly*, so for all we know Spearmaster is out there tryna be friends with the grass blob.
