The Mission Of The Spikey Slugcat 

Imagine the symbiosis between scavvies and spearmaster in a real world scenario. Scavvies get free spears and spearmaster gets to feed off of what the scavvies are fighting.

Spearmaster: "Stop giving me your hardest battles!" Seven Red Suns: "You are my strongest soldier." Later... Artificer: "GIVE ME HARDER BATTLES" Five Pebbles: "What the fuck?"

shoutouts to the person in chat who saw skurry spearing the neuron flies during lttm and said "slowest most unethical lobotomy of all time"

i really love that when Moon gives Spearmaster the Mark of Communication, she doesn't send them Fucking Flying like Pebbles does with the other slugs, it's like she's gently patting them while Pebbles is throwing the square at them at high speed

42:15 I actually teared up. This is moon’s structure, in all its glory. It’s beautiful. It’s so full of life. Man, this game hits me in the feels

"Rain world ai is so smart!" *the ai in question* : *s p i n n i n g l i z a r d*

gosh i love how much downpour has fleshed out moon and pebbles, their story is so tragic 😭

FlySkyHigh did such an exceptional job with that thumbnail, it’s some of the most metal RW art I’ve seen in ages. Well done!!!

I've only played through Spearmaster once so I never saw what happens if you actually go to Pebbles before Moon!! Insane how there's so much content in this DLC that most players are going to miss

26:18 The way Spearmaster leaned back makes it look like they actually programmed him to be afraid of Five Pebbles

I love the universal Spearmaster experience of being stuck on Chimney Canopy farming birds to get to the Wall

I was just lamenting at how I had to wait for the next installment of Skurry’s Slugcat Adventures. My prayers (and boredom) have been answered!

Was I the only one who couldn’t stop laughing when blue started spinning too? edit: 21:48 for reference

fun fact: spearmaster was the first slugcat to arrive at rainworld, thats why everythings isn't crumbled or how shoreline is waterfront facility

Finally, grape flavored slugcat

God I cannot wait for Skurry’s reaction to Saint playthrough. I hope they do the full ending.

The lore on each of these has just been increasing. Gourmand was just chunky slug cat finding friends. Artificer was a tale of revenge and regret but had no real impact. Rivulet was showing us what happened afterwards and how we helped Moon. And Spearmaster was a message dilivery for the iteraters. What’s going to happen with Saint??

THE ART IS SO FREAKING GOOD

Seeing this, I definitely think that Spearmaster should be played after Rivulet. Luckily you get that choice. The way that the end of Rivu is set up just perfectly leads into Saint I think. You can even see Rivu's breath after their ending, implying it's getting colder. Some areas like moon's city and comms array have snow aswell. It leads into it. But I can see why they ordered it from difficulty. Either way, Saint is honestly nuts with its mechanics and story. Can't wait to see you play it

After all of the normal slugcats are done with you have the hidden slugcat and the dating sim to beat

It’s a small thing but I really like the titles for these slugcat videos. I wonder what the last one will be

the saint playtrough is going to be crazy, story wise

the reason hunter enemies are in artificer and spear master is because they chronologically come before hunter

When you realize Spearmaster is tech support for the Iterator Discord Server.

Every day I await for when scurry plays the secret slugcat after saint and it is pure suffering.

I really liked Spearmaster's campaign cuz combat is one of the most fun aspects of the game to me. My only complaint is that I wish SRS gave Spearmaster a little bag or pouch so I didn't have to use 1 hand to hold my stomach pearl for half the game. My dumbass went through Exterior, and having to kill like 20 lizards/spiders and avoid snappy birds was really annoying with only 1 spear.

Now, here's my favorite slugcat! Just a spiky fella, bringing a hopeless request to a god. Now, i must say that i haven't played spearmaster yet, but i am extremely exited for it! As a quick note, i will list some of my spearmaster headcannons >:) Their actual name is Seven little stars, Named by seven red suns. They wear some form of Poncho/robe, which suns made sometime after they returned Spearmaster's personality is very Calm, but also somewhat emotional They yelp as vocalizing

that thumbnail art goes absolutely insane

10:35 quote №587: I would never say weird things skurry: noooo i took drugs 39:09 the best transition ever existed fr

I can't wait to see Skurry's reaction to... honestly, all of the Saint campaign, dude's fucked up

spoiler I love how in the end we get to see the scug return to the iterator. It's happy to be home and they both seem sorrowful about what is soon going to happen.

38:38 why did I have in this room 3x more spiders, orange lizards and birds than Skurry

Oof, they didn't go to pebbles after moon, straight to communications.

iterators are sentient colossal robots with their minds wired up to discord

One of my favorite slugcats. I have been waiting for this. Edit: the ending made me sad.

oooh! some sea slugs can manufacture their own spikes so… seaslugcat?

every time art of the sligcat is shown my tripophobia is triggered

This series is my favourite thing on RU-vid right now :D thank you Skurry!

Seven Red Suns told Five Pebbles about how to do something, which they messed up and contracted the Rot through that; SRS knew beforehand that something like that could happen. Am I getting that right? Feels like I really need to rewatch this entire series, since I only started trying to understand the story this year, but that feels like important Lore to me; unlike how it was treated here.

I needed this today, thank you so much Skurry

as someone who did spearmaster first, i can confirm that CC is hell on spearmaster because there are like 50 king vultures

the way FP rips the pearl out of spearmaster is always so painful for me. like wtf why are you abusing that poor slug sir?? and the way Moon gives spearmaster the ability to hear is alwo much gentler than what Pebbles usually does

does skurry know about squidcada flight? 39:45 this is the 2nd reason spearmaster is best at parkour. The first requires a squidcada.

Your art for this game is absolutely incredible

Spear master dinner: "Did everyone get a quil?" "Yes" *Spears a bunch of squidcadas* "Mmm, delicious!"

Spearmaster quest starts in a timeline same as the other slugcats BUT BEFORE ALL OF THEM he is the first one to appear in the city

Man, these videos are my absolute favourites

Haven't watched the video yet but that thumbnail ART HOT DAMNNNNNN it's insanely good

I love Spikey Slugcat ❤

This is not only a great video, but it also has an amazing thumbnail! I m screenshooting it

tbh making scavs hate you as spearmaster just makes for great catering

I really like this series, and eagerly waiting the Saint journey!

Let’s go more rain world Content, I’ve been waiting finally finished my Gormans run personally loving the update. Glad I found it through this guy’s.

*Some spoilers for several scug campaigns:* I spent nearly 200 cycles as Spearmaster. Seeing Moon, then Pebbles to understand him, then collecting every colored pearl and broadcast I could. Befriending the scavs, feeding lizards spearmaster's seconds, really grinding out passages. His place on the timeline and involvement in the plot (even before the game starts, its not his first time seeing the local iterators, or 5p at least) is basically what allows the rest of original Rainworld to happen. He helps 5p learn how to first start the experiments, he saves moon from complete agony and perpetual decay by allowing NSH to get a report on moon's status (Thus starting Hunter's quest to deliver a slag reset key and reply message, and leads to cannon elements of monk's campaign), he is the first scug we know of to visit 5p, prior to arti, hunter, and gourmand. By the time gourmand has shown up in 5p's can, 5p realizes he cant stop them from wandering in, even with his facility in lockdown, and allows the path to outer expanse to be opened, hoping to direct the slugcats elsewhere. Spearmaster is the catalyst for almost all the events in rainworld, and as you listen to more broadcasts you realize SRS's science experiment was based off of work NSH had already been doing with purposed slugcat organisms, which means Hunter wasnt the only one NSH created, even at this extremely early point in the timeline. We also learn SRS ends up caring and worrying for Spearmaster quite a lot in the end, and is terrified their attempts to help their friend 5p will result in even more harm to SM (with SRS losing all idea of what happens after 5p destroys SRS's red overseer). Spearmaster is no arti, no rivulet, no bodyslamming void bomb crafting gourmand. He's just a lizard that doesnt need to really sleep or eat like a normal scug does, and can make spears, and backflip slightly better then most, yet arguably survives and thrives in the most hostile part of the timeline's ecosystems. His full story was the most emotional one for me in Downpour.

the spearmaster art after beating the campaign is honestly IRLA relationship goals

moon just casually opening wikipedia-

Man the art of theese vids is incredible

Fun fact: the gate that spearmaster came out of is home to the western intake system. This can be accessed as gourmand, survivor, and monk (and basically and other slugcat that can access Outer Expanse)

This is such an awesome thumbnail holy!

I was gonna rewatch an old skurry video but they uploaded rn :)

why is no one talking about the smooth transition at 39:10

Holy sht the thumbnail’s sick o.0 GJ to whoever worked on it!

thats the coolest thumbnail i have seen

Before watching- it’s finally here :D After watching- welp that was fun but kinda sad cuz we see everything happening and how looks to the moon collapsed

YOOOOO SKURRY RAIN WORLD, I was waiting for this one

I love how he calls the mushrooms drugs, and I’m just getting into rain world so idk much info about it, this video was entertaining to watch I have to say ^^

This episode is great I can't wait for the next

Maybe you can hear the transmissions because the needles are tv aerials

Ah yes, Chimney. I finally escaped the sky bridge shelter after using a couple starvation cycles (to preserve karma). Ended up collecting seven masks (three kings) there.

the rainbow birds look like they have flandre scarlets wings from touhou

I really love your videos

When i first saw spear master (i was half asleep and half watching) i thought he just generated spears with the power of his mind

cant wait for skurry to play the easter egg/kaizo slugcat

What a spiky little cat

love your vids skurry

So wholesome!

I spent so long in chimney canopy I actually decided restarting the campaign was easier than continuing that one. I can't believe I'm not the only psychopath who did that lmao. And it worked for both of us so wtf.

your rainworld playthroughs is what made me finally start playing the game because it looks so fun

Can we take a moment to appreciate the thumbnail art

can't wait for saint playthrough

14:55 I spy with my eye the Saint. (Hi enough karma to go through the beginning gate.)

I know nothing about this game I just know that enemies can spin

Spearmaster becomes a porcupine and becomes floating and starts floating. Because it pokes out of every single pour of his body

It makes me happy knowing I’m not the only one that gets stuck for cycles on end going to wall through chimney canopy

bro i just got rainworld and I got recommended this video immediately

Yo the thumbnail's really cool! Kinda like a epic anime fight XD

Slug cats my beloved Spikey must be the better evolution during that period because of the super structures

One of the best slugcats.

Thank you for video

hi skurry i love ur videos and adore your voice. Have you ever considered having a podcast? you just seem like the most wholesome person and i would legit just love to hear you speak unfiltered for a straight hour or something.

let's go, new rain world video

15:27 i also made enemies with the scavs during my spearmaster run, got stuck in the gutter for several hours until i gave up on that run

instant dopamine upon seeing this uploaded

Yes! Finally time for my favorite slug. My perfect probuscis baby

Am I the only one who thinks all of Spearmaster's internals are just in the tail?

I would like to know if there is a discord server or something so I can catch you streaming. Good work on another good video!

i love how relaxing your voice is :)

He feeds by SPEARING OTHERS WITH HIS NEEDLES

love your video

The scavenger economy be trembling after spearmasters shenanigans
