Deerclops Skeleton— Foreshadowing or Throwaway?


Recommended Posts

Ever since the trailer dropped, I've naturally been hung on a what seems to be an inconsequential detail.Skeleton.thumb.png.593761e4542667d23fb342334250ecb8.png
Now first and foremost this is AWESOME, but I can't help but wonder if this is merely a neat transition or perhaps alluding to something in the future? I'm getting really prominent flashbacks to when people were advocating for a Lunar Deerclops once we got the Moonrock Pengulls & Horror Hounds (yes, I know Klei didn't chose to continue in this direction).

Very high chances this is nothing, but what do you guys think?

Yes you have to fight deerclops on the island as new boss ofc.

 

The next update's teaser is called Fee Fi Fo Thumb. Which is definitely a Jack & the Beanstalk reference.
And we see a giant's skeleton here.

Sure, it's probably nothing, but for all I know we'll get a Lunar Plant Infested Skeleton Deerclops.

It's fun to think about at least.

With the power of apophenia, I remember the grass-flavored Reanimated skeleton. We could probably have a similar thing with deerclops.

I've been thinking about this a lot as well. A lunar deerclops could potentially be super cool and interesting, even if I don't believe it'll be happening.

But even if it's not really something that is likely to happen, it's still an awesome detail, I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff.

While it might not happen in the vanilla game, you might see a mod for it eventually.

Very true. Although I'm not sure it'd be as good as something official.
Would still be hype though!

Personally, i would prefer to have something more original and "deadlier" than a third re-skin of a boss that looks and does some attacks differently. It would be alright if it was a "side" boss rather than a "main" one. Just my two cents.

Think I've waited long enough to remind the people in this thread that drowning bosses like the Deerclops was a thing early on with the boats when they would hop on with you. 

 

In other words, don't read into it, it's more likely than not Klei just acknowledging player ingenuity that they had to go in and patch out.

Yea... considering the direction with lunar creatures now I have doubts of a reanimated lunar deerclops of some sort. The good news is that this was such a popular idea back in the first few updates that I wouldn’t be surprised if a mod adds it in.

I'm guessing because Jack grew the beanstalk like a crop, and because the crops you grow in the update can become "giant."
