5raptorboy777 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Exactly what the title says. Depth worms are actually mammals. They aren't worms, as they have a distinguishable front and back of their body. They also aren't reptiles because they have some type of fur/ feathers. They aren't birds because they don't have a beak, and they have teeth. The only logical answer is that it is, in fact, a mammal.

Johnnyprofane Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 They feed on the sanity of those they capture, hence the eternal-loop of Ragtime in Checkmate.That makes sense, and would explain maxwells ability to stay dapper all the time. If he stays sane they can keep draining him. I think the merms are what's left of the old race. They were there before maxwell was, they were probably just changed the same way the ancient guardian was by the fuel.I heard someone say once that WX may be the clockwork pawn. Hmmmm other than that I can't think of anything, but I can't help but wonder what the deal is with the fire lands. What are they? Where are they? Did maxwell make them or were they there before? Do you think that's where wortox is from? Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/28724-dont-starve-theories/#findComment-342582 Share on other sites More sharing options...

23rd Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 After being released from the throne and evidently de-aging Maxwell winds up remembering a lot of stuff he wound up forgetting in his captivity. When you meet him in the chair he says there was nothing but dust and the void before he got there, but when he's free again he remarks that Merms were around when he'd gotten here, and makes tons of references to an ancient civilization living in the Ruins. I figure enough time on the Nightmare Throne has made him a bit loopy, gave him a cynical "I am a God, I've created all" outlook, and being separated from it helped put things into focus again.

the truthseeker Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Or Maxwell is just insane after countless ages on the throne where time flows differently, and he brought Wilson and company in to ease the boredom and regain his wits by having something to do with some others, even if Maxwell was so sadistically influenced and the visitors tortured indirectly by...THEM. I bet when he spoke of nothing, that was what he first noticed...on the surface. Later exploring by Wilson finds the (at first) unbreakable Basalt rocks which Maxwell (and also possible assisted with what we call "Hallucinations") later "permits" Wilson to break now changed as sinkholes and "visit" what "world below" once existed. If this last part proves true, it's still unclear what was originally there, and what now is "overrun" by monster-kin and/or "hallucination"-kin.

Funny how the guy who regains 20 Sanity per minute is most definitely a little insane when you finally meet him face to face. If we ever do get to see what the civilization from before looked like (perhaps the Merms used to be said civilization before turning into Merms from poking their nose in the same magic Maxwell poked his in?) I suspect they'll have heavy Mayan inspirations in their design. Crawling Horrors and Terrorbeaks might even be deities they worshiped.

Wilson finds comfort in remnants of civilization, of little details and recreational activities from the real world. Maxwell loses himself in this sub-reality to endure the pain and would experience unfathomable remorse at hints of his past (except when examining bunnymen, because they are adorable and it was a fun magic trick to execute).

The_Cookiebeast Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I am thinking that the entire world is situated within the magic book Maxwell had obtained, therefore explaining how he ended up there and the popup book art-style of the game and trailers. This would also possibly explain how Charlie became the Grue, he performed a little disappearing act without knowing entirely what he was doing and wham bam, she is in the book as a monster. Maxwell delves deeper into the secrets to find/save her, is driven insane and then placed on the nightmare throne.

the truthseeker Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 No matter how they got there, every character on the "Island continent" is facing their own Purgatory. How they turn out in the end is either their salvation or damnation... *Whispered to* Lost?! Crud!
