Topic on User talk:Utini501

I've seen you've been doing a lot of work on those subpages. In addition to the obligatory thanks, do you think you could provide some examples for this userspace article I have on standby while I wait for a slot in the Workshop to open?

Sure! Though, shouldn't the trope have a different name since it wasn't grandfathered in during the split from TV Tropes? From what I understand that's supposed to be the case, which is why my take on Dragons are Demonic and Wicked Wasps have their own names, as is another dragon-related trope I'm currently working on (Draconic Deity as opposed to Dragons are Divine).

Nah, it's not strictly required that I name it something different - that said, if you have suggestions for additional/alternate trope names, I'd be happy to consider them.

Alright, I was going to post these on the in-progress page, but a warning popped up during editing saying that it should only be edited by you or an admin so as to prevent damage to the wiki. So I'll post a few down here:

Anime and Manga

• Berserk has the Beast of Darkness, a monstrous wolf that is Guts' bloodlust and hatred of Griffith given form. It's one of the swordsman's greatest enemies, and wants nothing more than to make him submit to his darkest desires so it can permanently steal control of his body and freely indulge in its psychopathic bloodlust.
• The Tailed Beasts of Naruto fame are dangerous monsters made of primal Chakra, and look like massive and unholy versions of otherwise ordinary animals, such as the Eight-Tails looking like a skinless ox with octopus tentacles or the Nine-Tails being a demonic-looking fox. Most have been sealed inside of human hosts in hopes of keeping the unruly beasts under control, but this often results in the hosts going insane or having control of their bodies ripped away by the beasts possessing them.

Film

• Animals exposed to the Shimmer from Annihilation are mutated into a form that, while recognizable, are far more alien and freaky than anything found on Earth. On the more mundane side of things is an alligator with a mouth full of shark teeth, while far more extreme is a bear with its skull exposed that can mimic the dying screams of a human it killed, and has one of her eyes and quite possibly her entire skull assimilated into its being.

Video Games

• Bloodborne has many, but the Cleric Beast and Vicar Amelia are among the most iconic examples. They look like massive bipedal wolves with reindeer antlers that have been starved to death, and their screams sound truly hellish. Both seem to be some form of Wendigo, with the latter introducing herself by erupting forth from the body of a seemingly normal priestess.
• Barbas from The Elder Scrolls is a benevolent and adorable example, being a talking Big Friendly Dog with a Brooklyn accent and the best bud of Daedric Prince Clavicus Vile... as well as an aspect and the conscience of the Prince himself, who tries to keep him from screwing over anyone unfortunate enough to bargain with him. Furthermore, The Elder Scrolls: Redguard shows that he doesn't strictly stick to the form of a dog, and can be seen randomly changing forms before resetting back to his dog form. Clavicus will even comment on it, saying that he likes being a dog on sunny days, as well as many other things.
• Since the Heartless from Kingdom Hearts are an entire race of Eldritch Abominations, the ones with more animalistic forms invoke this trope such as the Powerwilds and Bouncywilds or Pot Spiders. But even among them, there are a few that stand out:
  • Skoll, a massive wolf Heartless named after the giant sun-chasing wolf from Norse mythology. It fights by summoning packs of ghostly wolf minions, firing off powerful ice attacks, and trying to crush Sora and friends underneath a mass of darkness big enough to fill up the sky. But what makes it really special is the fact that it's the Heartless of Prince Hans himself, who's been completely corrupted by the darkness in his heart.
  • Scar similarly becomes consumed by hatred and rage. But unlike Hans, his inner darkness is so powerful that he manages to hold onto his original form after becoming a Heartless... a feat only shared by Ansem, Seeker of Darkness. And even in death, Scar's ghost lingers as a powerful presence that haunts the Pride Lands, eventually turning into a massive Heartless called the Groundshaker after merging with a ton of other ghost Scars.

Ah, right. Forgot about that, my apologies. You want I should copy paste it on your behalf, or should I wait until it gets in the Workshop so you can be credited properly?

Either option works for me!

Rightyo!
