Ah moonless: living prove that people will treat anything remotely dog looking like it’s a golden retriever “who’s a good myriad toothed, four eyed beast of the abyss YOU ARE”
It's part of the reason humans made it to the top of the food chain. There aren't many other species that managed to forge a 1000+ year alliance with another carnivore
I love the dynamic that Ragnavaldr has with Moonless, even when disregarding hypotheticals, as we see him talking to her in the game like he was talking to a child or a puppy. It truly is like the 'Dad and his dog' dynamic. There's this big, hulking warrior of a man who uses his rage and determination to do the impossible and overcome horrors that would break lesser men instantly, and you have a giant, mutated monster of a beast with enough teeth to rip apart demons and enough intelligence to use magic. One would think them natural enemies, yet they form a loving bond that spans generations. I like to think they both share a braincell, with Rag being like "My doggy is such a good girl❤❤❤" And Moonless being like "My human is such a cool guy💙💙💙" while they are both jumping monsters beyond comprehension.
I think thw desire idea makes the Crow Mauler or Captain Rudimer more interesting. His original desire was to cleanse the dungeons of all monsters within it, but if you read his orders he clearly viewed himself in some way as only slightly above the monsters given his own cruelty. Meaning on top of his desire being to fight monsters he may have understood himself as like a murder of crows, being one of the smartest birds there is but regardless still being an animal. Like what he viewed his true purpose as and what made him most comfortable at a base level was to feed on monsterous rodents and bugs like what the God of the depths has dominion over. Also I love the implication that Moonless's base desire was to be your fren because that's genuinely adorable and i just generally love the "monster who is secretly a softie." Trope.
Now that I think about it creatures like the crow mauler and night lurches being transformed humans with forms based on some of sort of trait they possess is very similar to moonscorching. Maybe Rher has some influence in the dungeon.
Maybe it's more that each god has their own form of transforming humans into monstrous forms. Rher has moonscorching, the Depths god has... we don't have a name for it, so let's call it depthscorching. And Sylvain has marriage.
I know the tiktok stuff demonetizing is frustrating but I am glad you are switching focus to longer form videos and i genuinely wish you the best because i thing long form analysis suits you so well
I like that you actually provide accurate information about Wolf packs. They're not made of Alphas and Betas. But they're family units consisting of a mated pair and various ages of pups who all co-operate in hunting and raising the young. This being the main reason why early man was able to domesticate wolves as they could forge strong bonds of trust and loyalty.
Great analysis! Never thought about the mutations in F&H1 like that. I think August's relation to Ragnavaldr is pretty clear, or at very least they both share the "Tormented Soul" (and the same hair colour lol), alternatively he might be a reincarnation!
If moonless escaped with ragnavalder who stabbed her with miasma and the eastern sword? I find it more plausible that moonless was attacked by someone after growing to her current size, and one of August's ancestors saving her later
That's actually a good point. My theory is that she's actually meant as a deterrent for those dangerous/valuable weapons. What better way to stop someone from wielding and succumbing to miasma then to place it on the back of a giant monster. That's just my theory anyways, I find it odd that someone would just attack moonless and leave those weapons there, seems like she was given a duty to guard them, rather then them being old wounds
The working theory is that Ragnavaldr deliberately used her to keep the cursed weapons like the Miasma so that no one could be corrupted by it as a means to stop the spread of evil, and he specifically used Moonless because she is, by nature of being a mutation of darkness, immune to the effects of the cursed weapons, as she never loses mind or sanity. And considering how chill Moonless is with things like the bonesaw treatment, she was probably fine with it and it was probably pretty tame compared to some other stuff they went through.
So here's my big question, why does Moonless have swords from the first game stuck into her? At first I assumed at some point after the first game Rag or Moonless went crazy resulting in the wound, but if that was the case than I doubt surviving Moonless would go onto be Rags ancestral guardian. My only theory now is Rags just a bad person who decided to use Moonless's chest cavity for sword holding
Probably rag asked her with permission to stab her with the miasma to protect the people from the miasma than letting the miasma tempting people to use it but i bet moonless i aint gonna feel that stab
@@discotech6178 I buy it, what about the second non-corrupting sword in her tho? Also would be cool if he just handed it to her and she used it dark souls style lol
@@flyingflamingflamingos3793 the second sword had the name "purified eastern sword" in the first game. Maybe it's to help counter the Miasma's influence.
this game truly is a love letter to berserk even in the most subtle details like these how rag is obviously guts and moonless design is almost identical to the beast of darkness dwelling inside of guts it even has a missing eye like my man guts and the beast in him i love these small details❤
As a general rule for fear and hunger, if it looks like a reference, it probably is. There is a lot of them and the creator is not very subtle about them.
Nah moonless wasnt corrupted by dungeon per say it was miasma probably injecting her with its poison but moonless is immune to poison so instead is affecting her mind and shifting her into a bigger form she is probably fighting against miasma for control for hundreds of years and was probably ragnvaldr that stabbed her with the black steel since the blade resists the darkness. Thats my theory.

i always thought it was that stupid sword thats supposed to make you go crazy in F&H 1 being stuck into her neck in 2 that makes her go crazy (afaik its bugged in 1) but idek! great video! i love my wolf shark buppy
