Dont Starve Lore (MERM THEORY) 

A wild Orange man has appeared

Imagine if the sun will send its champion just like moon did

*deep lore*

Hi Orange

I'm gonna watch your DS Lore video. I've been delaying

Merms are quite neutral if they have a home, since they'll never want to stray too far, in fact you can stay close to them if you're not in their home's range and they won't attack you. If they don't have a home, they're very hostile and will chase you for a long time, hence what happens with the "Get distracted by random setpiece" merms.

They're like those "private property" porch &shotgun guys in america

Like how a feral animal with territory act, as long as your not on there turf your good

They are just from Texas. It's normal to attack anyone who enters your property without permission

No, a merm literally came to my base and killed me for no reason. He didn't have a home nearby at all.

Good point actually. They even have simular look

But why, then, is Wilbur immune?

That does make more sense when considering the sick wormhole in Adventure Mode. I’m wondering how does “feeding” the wormhole work then, since the item just goes out the other end. Even food items won’t be eaten by wormholes.

@Elly van den Brink reread your comment

Don't starve is bloodborne 2 confirmed???

Well, let's see: Deep Ones would enter into bargains with human communities were they would trade treasure and bountiful fish catches in return for worship and servitude. Anyone who disobeys is killed. Kind of like how the Gnaw has a "bargain" where it gives coins to those who satisfy its hungers, and it forces its "followers" to worship it on fear of death. Deep Ones worship two gods named Father Dagon and Mother Hydra. A Hydra in ancient Greek myth was an aquatic serpent with multiple heads. The Gnaw is a wyrm (a serpent) with ties to water and can possibly be in multiple places at once (the alters of snackrifice) and is technically the "mother" of the merms in that it created them. Maybe a reference there?

The fact that wurt retain the goat horn mean she if a former goat and a merm makes me think wortox would be a good step brother for wurt

@@brunitoknolastname69420 This comment made me smile. Very wholesome.

I think she got mermified very very young, becuase her gorge skin has acting very confused

@@chairlord5442 yeah, and she is still a child in game

counter: the fact the lines were removed means we have no way to know of that was wurt or another character that was cancelled.

@@Imperio_Otomano_the_realest counter fact: There's no known goat like characters except Wortox and Wurt

@@I_Dont_Believe_In_Salad counter counter counter: if you base the proof for wurt being a goat in the assumption wurt is a goat, what's the point?

@@Imperio_Otomano_the_realest Counter counter counter counter point: why would she have horns?

@@alexbluecyndaquil counterpoint: none of the other merms have horns

Guessing because they want to keep solo don't starve still somewhat unique but i 100% understand how you feel i would love to explore the shipwreck world with friends finding the volcano and shit or making a pig village with more people

Then why would there be a reason to play don't starve?

Don't starve together together

I wonder why the hamlet pigs are so much smarter than all the other ones? They're still a little stupid but damn they formed a sophisticated society, could the floating island pigs been around longer than the others? or did something give them a bit of a boost

Imagine if sailing and boating was the same in together as it is in shipwrecked and hamlet. Things would be so more wholesome

thanks

You muted me from your stream just because I was talking too much

@@victoonix2802 Sounds like it probably for the best..

@@DanielDornekDorda did you make this? no. no you didn't

well he states that the merms were in the constant when he first arrived, so there is that

I mean, with that logic there would also be a theory of how many exact replicas of childs who got eaten by spiders from the constant.

@@bobesponja8151 Time does flow differently in The Constant, but multiple Maxwells and such are probably a gameplay over lore thing.

not everything is canon. multiple wurts are for multiplayer convenience.

im pretty sure thats just a quote

@@sevro2434 well yeah, but klei is definitely not the kind of company to make a quote for anything really without taking into consideration the context/character it's coming from. It definitely feels intentional here, just like all the quotes that a lot of DST lore hinges on

I think charley would have done something about that

@@slothgaming4018 what would she do though.

@@Pablo-fh9uq Shes the queen of the constant. Im pretty sure she could asily dispatch of it if she wanted to. She would rather be the only one who has an iron fist over the Constant.

@@aporygonz2006made you got me there

Your comment got liked 69 times.

I’d imagine that it’d be a pretty fitting end for the Naw if you needed to make an explosive dish to kill it, which would make its death a result of its own evil gluttony.

@@apollyonnoctis1291 Maybe is more like some kind of battle where you fight "cultist merms" (or even make that in-lore in reality they were knocked out so that they can be saved after the Gnaw has been defeated) and making the Gnaw hungry from using it power so you have to swap the 2 controlled sale mans dishes for Gnaw into bad food which can be as far as hp reducing food, rotten food or even "special dishes" like a poisoned steak or a stuffed chicken that shortly after explodes upon consumption

I really hope this becomes a copypasta

@@slasher3428 when the comment section is sus

Rip Justin. He became a feral merm.

They seem like ants or bees in that someone steps up to the role and forms into it when it needs to be filled. The requirement of 2 kinda fits then if you have 2 “colonies” surface and cave. Like they end up playing the same role, or, whoever fits there becomes the same benevolent king

/copypasta lol weird, last night i was literally thinking "man ive been through like every slasher 342 dont starve video, i hope he releases something new, though itd be kinda hard since hes already done a vid for every character and even npcs, and really all thats left would be lore but id be happy af if he did a buncha lore vids on the game, i am genuinely curious about many things about the game and cant discover it myself due to being FUCKING poor at this time in my life and idg a fuck about spoilers. or the fact i only partially abbreviated that (jk that last bit after the comma i made up just now)" do MORE MORE FROM THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG TO THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN SHOOT FOR THE MOON AND STAB AT THE STARS KICK THE PLANETS AND KARATE CHOP BLACK HOLES CATS BEING ADORABLE LITTLE ASSHOLES OTHER THINGS TO MOTIVATE YOU TO DO IT SUCH AS FREE SEX AND AN "END THE EPIC MERCH MEMES AND DELETE ALL MOLEWORMS FROM TIME ITSELF" BUTTON pweeeeeeezzzeeeee if youws dont da wivews wiw have to wun wed wit da bwud of da bourgeoisie UwO oh wait that wouldnt work, disregard that last bit, and instead, focus on this not at all hypnotic text image: d̵o̵i̸t̷d̶o̴i̵t̵d̷o̶i̸t̶d̵o̴i̵t̵d̸o̵i̶t̵d̴o̷i̴t̸d̴o̴i̵t̵d̶o̵i̶t̵d̷o̷i̷t̶d̶o̸i̸t̴d̴o̵i̶t̶d̴o̶i̴t̴d̷o̸i̶t̷d̷o̸i̴t̸d̴o̴i̶t̶d̸̠͠ǫ̶͝ĭ̶͙ẗ̵̥́d̶͕̑o̸͔̚ỉ̵͙t̵̳̽d̵͖̂o̶̹̅i̴̹̅t̸͉̐d̵͖̅o̸̡̿ḭ̸̈́t̶̡́ď̸̼o̴̲̊ï̷̖t̴̩̚d̴̲̆o̴͓̍ị̴̀ẗ̸̨́d̵̗̈́o̸͓̓ì̴̞t̸͙̿d̵̲̈́ö̵́ͅî̴̝t̶̘̓d̶̩̑ó̴̻i̸̯͌t̷̤͝ḋ̵͙o̶̠͠i̶̭͋t̵͗ͅd̸͈̂ŏ̷̭í̷̦t̵̲̋d̶̞͂o̶̖͘ï̸̩t̸̡̎ḑ̵̾ȏ̸̹i̸̹̕t̷͉͝d̷͍̽ö̸̧́i̷̮̒t̷͍͗d̶̢́o̸̘͗i̵̘͛t̶̡͑d̶͇̾̍o̷̤͊̀i̴̻͘t̸̪̏̋d̴͔̉̊o̶̖̔̇i̸̱̣͒t̴̫̲̃d̴̩̼̅o̶͔̊̏í̶̱t̴̗̍d̵͓̈́́ò̸͖̟̿i̶͈̤̐̈́t̷̖͠d̸̹͑o̶̹̙̿̊i̷͓͖͒t̸̬͛d̵͙̜̕ǫ̸͔͊i̷̹͘t̷̫̾d̶̳͛͠ȍ̸̯́ͅḯ̶͍͈͑t̷̜͆d̴̝̎͌o̸͓̎ǐ̵̧̞ţ̶̬́͝d̵̝̉̄ǫ̷̯̔i̵̹͆͊t̵͉̦́d̵̼͐o̸͖̓̆į̸̭͂͂ẗ̴̨́̕d̶̙̎͘o̷͔͕̓̊i̸̞̩͊t̸͜͠d̷͙͈͂o̵̝̓ͅị̶͌t̶̥͂̃͜d̷̡̪̈́̏o̷̭̔̏i̴̟̐t̷͇̂̆d̵͍̲̾͝ȍ̵̥̪͊i̶̱̙̋͂ṫ̴̠d̵̟͒̉ǫ̷̐͆ị̶͇̓͛t̶̰̙̔͗d̶̫̬͕́̉͌o̵͍̜̘̹̓̈̂ĩ̶͉͌̈́̐ť̶̰̤͔̄d̵̛̝̘̻̟̋͒̋ỏ̶̭͕̠̩̽̾i̴͇̠̳̒͑̈́ț̷̕d̴̯̬̺͊̇o̵̧̪̟͚̔̃̀i̶̪̍͂͠t̶͆̈́̽̃ͅd̶͙̋͆̏̎ơ̴̞̬͖i̴̡͛͒t̸̲̺̙̦͐ḑ̴͛͆̾o̶̱̳͂̔͘i̵̪̬͓̘͂ţ̴̣̌̍d̶̡̥̔̚o̶͙͈͋͠i̴͚̦̱̼̍̎͆̇ṱ̸̛͊̆̉d̷̻̅ò̶͉̙͚̈́͌̐i̷̱͔̝̐ṯ̶̢͙̓̏d̸̟͈͜͠o̸̧̮͆͌̏̚ḯ̴̟̤͗̑t̷̢̋̔̊d̴̝̮͍̠̈́͋͒͠o̴͚̠̳͆͒̽i̵͎̯̞͂͜͠t̷̹̤͌d̵̡͚̊ǫ̶̫̼͋͒ḯ̶̤̆̚t̷̮͔̹̝̓͐͋̚d̸͉̤̈́̉͜ǒ̸͈̪̦͔i̶̜̱̜̿͘͘ṫ̵͎̕̚d̷̹̟̜̫̓̄o̶͔͗̇̎͝î̵̱̪̮͍̉t̶͈͙̙̤͒̈̂d̷̘̙̰̼̓́̔o̵̦͛̃ḭ̴͇̄t̸̮̋̀̏͐d̷̼͉͔̥́́̈́͗o̶̙̊͂i̶̡̹̓̈̚͝ṱ̴̲͂̍̌ḑ̴̩̦̪͐͌o̵̩̟͎̍̉́̂i̸̥̞͊̂͊͜t̷̤͌d̷̞̥͈͎͋͑͊ͅo̵̼͒͗͌͘͘i̸͉̯͇̰͖̅̎͂̋̀̊́t̷̨̨͈̦̘̻̩͚̅̂̌̅̎͌͊d̵̥̬̼͈̂̉̃o̵̺̞̦̱̝̮̘̒̿̽ḭ̷̡̠̭̤̓͒́t̸̛̻͔̅̀̇͘d̶̢̙͉͖̓͂͜͠ͅơ̷̛̝͑̓i̸͖̝̲͋͐͗͘t̵̡̼̗̾͋ḓ̷̝̳̳̱̱̀͋̎̾͐̿͗͘ͅõ̸̘̼̩̥̤̳̑̿̅ȋ̷͇̳̓̇̇͛͐͆̈́t̷̞͚̝̯͉̲̀̅̓͆͒̋̕͠d̸̙̞͓̩̫͚̠̹͆̊̋̈̇̆͂̽o̷̧̡͕͎͇̟̔͌͋̍̅͝͝͠ͅị̵̧̡̞̲̽̑͌̃̏̈́t̴̪̄̍̍̇͘͝ḑ̶̹͍̭̺͍̰̭̔͗̊̆͑͘͝͝ò̷̺̭͉͂̍̌̓̑̈́̕i̴͕͚̟̖͍͇̣̇͌͐͂͂̓͘ţ̴̺͍͓̳͛̐̾͊̾̏̉d̶̼̦͉̳̑̏͂̅͌̓̄̚o̸͇̒̔͊̔į̷̆t̷̻̺̠̩̳͖̽͆̎̌̈́͘͠d̷͉̭͇̲̝̽͂̿̆́͌o̵͓̰͎̟̍́ͅì̶̛̹̞̫̤͉̦̀̔͋̔͠ť̵͈̻͔̞̖̠̈́̒͐d̵̢̑̅̈̓̈̃̚͝ō̴͖͑̂̌̏̄͠i̸̢̞͎͂̉̈́̎ţ̶͓̺͔̞̘̳́̓̄̄̈́̃̔̽d̶̙̈́̆̔͐͝͠o̸̮̓͒̓̍̓ḯ̴̧̤̺̝̅̔͒̚͜t̷͉̝͉͎̤͚̒͒͐͒d̴͖̗̉̕̕o̴̞̗͉̭͎̜̔̈́̃̄͌͌̎ǐ̴̲̔̃̈́͝ẗ̸̟̬́̏͑̔̚̚ḋ̷͕̽̈͐̾ọ̵̢̬̣̦̈͆͘ī̵̱͓̟̽͆̀͘t̴̟̿d̶̡̢̝̫͙͇͕̼̔̈́͆o̶̹̓͒̆͐͒͘i̶̳͖̯̱̝̒̅ͅt̴̨̲͍̳̙̞̦̞͗̍d̸̤̬̯͖̒ō̷̪̖̘̠̤̹̝̈́î̵̫̲͂t̵͖̬̣͓̖̘̓̊̋͆͘͜͝ͅd̷̠͑̐̓͜͝o̷͔̳̓̍̌̽͗i̵͖͇̹͑̑̀͐ͅț̵̲̞͍̜̠͕̑̅̃͜d̷̺͖̼͇̱̎̑̿̀͑͜ȍ̵͙͇̤̱͍̅̑̔̓̕i̴̹͓̰͖̣͓̎̓ť̵̯̤̭̻̹͇͚͒͑d̵͓̗̮͙̓̈̈́̐̇̄̒͆͝ơ̴͍̈́̊̀̾̍̂̄̈́́́̐̽i̶̡̗̘̞͚̜̮̲͎̱̳̖̪͗̍̔̊̔̃̉̓̐͝ţ̵̗̮͎͍͓̫̱̱͇̤̈́d̸̟̳̂͌̍̅͑͗̽͘̚͠͝o̷̱̤̬̟̙͍̗̮̤̳͈͗̍̈̑̀̏̃̽̓͝į̶̩̟̫̘͎͙̩͖͇̜͎̄̈́͐̔̓̄̃̐̌̈̚͠ͅt̴̢̘̠͓͍̝̦͓͇̔͒͑ḑ̵̛̦̩̘̤̖̖̃̓͒͒̇̈́̑̈́͆̏̚o̸͔͂̀̀͋̀̎̇́͒̅͠î̸̡̡̭͖̞̼͔͕́ţ̸̼͈͖͚̈̄̿̀́͒̀̌͗͝d̸̡̗̤̖̲͔͈̜̟͙͛̉͛͗̓͒̓̄͋̋́̚͠ȏ̸̧̫̫̺͇̫̬̠͙͊̈̏ị̵̛̼͇̱̾͒̀͑t̸̤͎̱̬̘̼̰͉̀͆̽̋͝ď̵̛̮̣̝͈͌̌̍̏̚ͅö̴̢̭̲̥̪̩̭͇̟͕̠̯́ì̶̢̨̨͖̠͓̯͚̗̗̳͎̈́̚ͅt̸̛̝̹͛̓̊̔͐̆̑̔͘ḑ̷͈̙̹̙͛̽͂̈́͗̐̒̃̂̎͝ô̶̡̰̬͈̥̈́͌͗̑̂̂͊̄̍̉̇ḭ̸̡̧̧̠͓̣͖͍͈͕̹̅̓̾͆̌̒̃͒̊̿̓͠͝ţ̴̳̹͈̤͌̊̚d̷̛̩̯̒̄͌͂̓͒̒̈́̑ͅo̷̟̯̜͇͇̼̭͎̜͐ï̸̧̜̹̝̤͎̘̈̿̏̄̆̌t̷̠̰̼͒̈͌̐̌̇͜͝d̵͇͖̼́͑͋ó̵͚̹̀̒̑į̷̹̻̞͉͉̼̬̝̰̺͓̂͝ţ̵̨̣͖̖̹̟͕͐̎̍̃͋̓̾̀̚͝d̵͔̮͉̩̾͐̆̒͆̔͑͜͝ǫ̵̻͇̹̺̣̩̟̤̹̞̇̎̾͋̌͆͒̇͜i̷̜̗̺̺̝̼͔̫̼̜̣̱̐̍̆̎́̌͆̋̀t̶͙͈̙̲̆̐͒̃̒͊̎̑̀̔͠͝d̶̡͖̟̬̦̗͈͂͆̍̓́̈ǫ̷̩̝͍̻̭͓̭̲͎̟̠̈̒̽̒̒̑͆͛̑͋̕i̷̛̪̪̰̼̹̬͐̋̽̎͐̏̏̑͑͗̿̒t̸̮̠͂̿̔̂́͝d̷̨̢̩̲̠̬̫̉̐̈o̵̧̨̼̺͓͍̼̲̲̙̓̅͜͝i̷̧̛͕̫̣͎̠͋̚t̴̢͙͕̝̂̉́͘d̶̫̝͉̝̱͍̠͂͝ö̸̧̙̝͖̬̟͎̘͍͈̝̦́̈́͠ǐ̸̡̧̹̱̖̯̗̰̙͍̱̝̂́̋̍̕t̷̘̺̝͕̃̾̈́̓͘ͅḑ̴̨̧͔̱͓̞̫̭͈̅̍̐̎̕͠ó̶̬̱̫̳̣͉̙̺̀͌̈͝i̷̜̙̗̾̂̿͝͠t̵̘̀̇̃͌̆͠ḑ̷̞͕͚͍̘͓̮̘̌̃̌̍͆̅́͜ö̷̠̼͐́̀́̾̑̔i̵̺̙͋̆͒͋́̈t̶̗̲̬͐́̅̾̀̂ḑ̶̮̳̭̞̦͈͔͖̦̾̀̐̎͆̉͝õ̷̧̢̢̭̤̤͍͔͓̦̤̤̬̱̍͐̾͂͛̽̿̀̿͂̓̅̈̍͝í̵̡̡͉͍̜̭̣̥͖̤̗͎̜̤̀͑t̸̼͍̖̻̗̰̟̣̟͔̳̬̲̿̿͌̊̋̑̓̚͝d̵̡̳͈̱̱̪̜̟̘͉̣̻̫̩͈́́́̔̽͋͒̂̀̿̇̒͜͝ͅơ̴̦̄̄̽͛͆͆̀͑̄̌͒̃̉̔̔͝ỉ̵̞͔̟́̐͒̒́͛͒̌̒̒̕ţ̴̫͔̥͕̬̯̱̲̣͖̣͕̹̗̩̆̆́̕ͅd̴̪̹̣̪̭̀o̵̡̲̞̞̝̼̣͑͊̐̂͒̓̐͒̚͜ị̴͕͍̰̭͗t̷̡̖̜̗̜̗͇̳̱͈̽̋̿͆̌̿̒̔̀̋̃͜͝d̵̨̦̲͙͍̰̣̬̲͙̠̻̜͉̲̙̬͋̈́̉ơ̴͎̇́̔͌̄̑̏̑̈́̑̊̈́́i̴̛͎̖̲̾͊̌̇́͒̈̂̔̽͘͝t̴̛̥̞͕͇͉̞̟̪̞͎̞̎̂̾̐̓̀̇̚̕͝d̵̮̱̙̮̗̖̆͊̃͂̓̒͆́͗͘ò̴̢̜̗̮̱͎͍̲̫̟͎̎̆̉̓ĭ̷̝̹̥̥̹̻̩̰t̶̨̢̛̤͕̻̪̰̩̱͙̹̟͚͕̜́̔̈́͋͐̍̐̄̃͗̓̓̆̀͘͜ͅd̷͈̞̺͇̺͂͐̔ŏ̵̺̳̦̮̠̕i̵̛̛̩͉̮̹̼̘̭͛́̈͐̀̀̀̔̋̇̍̽͘̚͝t̴̡̠̭̱͉̥͙̠͓̪͈̜̩̺̊͆̋̕͜ͅd̶̤́͋̇̐̒ǫ̸̖̫͓͓̤̦̽̾̓̇̅̓͂̊̋͐̀̉͘̕̚i̵̢̺̰̙̹͇̟̒͆́͆̅̇̈́̐̄̅͒͌̌̏͛͒͘͜t̶̛̼͍d̵͉̭͎͉̘̉̀͆͛͝͝ò̷̩̞͍͑̾̓̿͌̃͂̍̀̄͊̕͠į̴̧̛̙̼͈͍̘̣͔̫͓̳̒̑́̄̒̅͋̀͌̐͋͜͝ͅt̷̛̛̟̲̄̊͗̄̂̚͘d̶̢͉̥̖̪̤̲̺̘̪̻̙͔̱͓͉̄̔̑̓̈́̓̅̓̏̆̕͠o̸̱̺̻͓̞̰͖͉̮̟̠̲͋̍̀̓͗̌͌͌̋̓͊̕̚ͅỉ̴̧̛͔̝͇̹͍͎͉̝͛̈́̓͐͂͗̉̂̉͛͆̑t̸̹̬̩̜̘̯͚̮͖͇̱̖̤͉͚̩̃̀͌͛̀̄͐̄́̓͊͐̍͘͘̕ͅ d̶̨̢̗͎̯̼̮͚͈̤̠̠͙̱̱͛͛͆̒́̚ơ̵̧̙̞̭̗̗͕̜̍̀͛̀͗͛̎͑͗̐͊͋̅̾̈́ḭ̶͖̗͋̑͐́͛̀͒̃̑̔̋̈́̅̍̕̕͝t̸͉͇̯͖͔̘͇̺͛͋͊͂̓̓̄̐̑́̔͐͘͝͝d̶̢̳̘͍̝̩̱̠͈̫͓̮̎͑̀͐̿͋͗̔̚o̴͔͕͊̀́̆̔̏͂̌͒̿̈́̈́̆͐͐͝ȉ̸̢̱̖̙͍̗t̶̢̛̜̩͙̜̘̝͚̮̭͑̓̊̉̉d̷̨̢̧̫̖̭͕̖͕͕̼̤̭̱̤̠̄̎̾̿̇͆̽͐͛̓̉̚o̶̧͕̭̫̼̘̾͗̓͂̊̍̈́̆̑̄̌̓̈́̄ͅȋ̸̧̧̤͔̟͉̰̩̤̝̾͜͠͝t̷̡̩̼̥̲̰͓͉̖̠̱͚́͆̂͊̓̎̐̉̇̑̚͘̕̕͜͠d̸̢̛̦̻͍̼̤̗̫̯̟̩̠̮͌͗ơ̷̺̹͚͋̽͂͂̀̍̒̊̐̊it /copypasta

Note that none of tbis is canon but if you want the pretty accepted answer community wise, it's that the pigs evolved different traits per island. Savage Shipwrecked Pigs evolved to survive with bare minimum supplies and constantly wander, Tribalistic Mainland pigs who collectively form societies and outposts, and Pseudo Victorian Hamlet who harnessed local iron and gold deposits. The reason PK has the Insanity Obelisks is because magic is much more useful to harness when you have no way to get better tools As said before, no canon connection, but something most of the community likes to consider

actually, the pig skin is to make the rug

@@sevro2434 wouldnt that be made of the beefalo fur?

@@em4384 i think they use the pig skin to show how much they hates pigs

@@sevro2434 agree to disagree. pigskin is also used to craft pig houses so i think it could go either way

I'd say its just luck that the first merm that gets there is actually the elder

Also it’s cannon that the survivors die a lot so maybe is the same for Creatures of the Constant or those of significant importance

Respawning seems to be a common thing in the constant

@@slasher3428 or we can just go with the tried and true answer by Maxwell's truly: "This must be game logic."

@@slasher3428 but you can have a second king if he first one dies, right? how could there be a second elder pig if the first one died

merm king also works like a queen ant in an ant colony. Maybe the first merm king was the pig elder and that changed the merm species to include a merm king subspecies
