Is the Celestial Champion inspired by The Incredibles?

[StarsBR]

I couldn't help but notice the design similarity between the Omnidroids from The Incredibles and Celestial Champion. Were devs inspired by the movie?

Yes? Maybe? Klei loves to reference other tv shows, cartoons & movies in their game.

Chester (appropriately named Chester) is named after the same named creature that the Grandmother from Halloweentown carries around that is a literal suit case with feet, a tongue, teeth, and a tail.

But honestly? Only Klei really knows rather Champion is or isn’t supposed to be inspired from the Omnivoid.  & I doubt we will ever get any official confirmation.. *Shrugs*

Chester is a reference from the book serie of 'Discworld' by Terry Pratchett (RIP)

In the first book of the mages serie called "The colour of the magic" a character appears followed by a magic chest with 50 feets made by a magic wood that gives infinity space and conscience

Since the book was wrote in 1983, the serie are very famous books, plus klei making reference for multiple popular or classic books, we can asume that Chester was inspired by The Luggage (the name of the magical chest)

Is that confirmed? To me it seems more reasonable that Chester is inspired by the mimics from rpgs, but a good one

not confirmed but is what fits the most. Mimics are enemies that gives loot, the chest from the book is a living chest that follows their owner and even defends him

Fun fact: Chester is technically a Lawyer.

His full name is Otto von Chesterfield, esquire. The esquire part being typically appended to a lawyer's surname. However esquire can also mean
"a young nobleman who, in training for knighthood, acted as an attendant to a knight."; and that would make more sense considering what Chester's role is. But I'm running with the headcanon that he is a representative in a court of law.

Waitin' on my Lawyer-Chester skin.

to me it seems like a pun.

Klei likes their puns.

lol I also immediately thought of the Incredibles when I saw it. Especially the way it evolves to phase 2. The robot in the incredibles also got stronger

Gamers really like trying to correlate things that look vaguely kind of similarish if you squint a bit and tilt your head while the room is dark and you're looking through 3d glasses.

I mean Klei does like sneaking references to everything in DST. There's multiple references to books and other games in item and skin descriptions.

I think Wolfgang might be a reference to Ash Ketchum because they both have two arms and two legs.

so do you think that ds has any reference?

Obviously, but this clearly isn't one of them. It doesn't have a single thing in common with the Celestial Champion other than being relatively ball shaped.
