Borealis Bestiary - Namielle Ecology (Nature Documentary)

[@darkmoon2503]

Something you may not know is that, according to concept art, Namielle has the ability to secrete a dark ink-like substance from its wings into the air, which it combines with its bioluminescence to attract small, simple prey in the darkness. This was supposed to be the reason Nami seems to sap the light from its surroundings in the intro cutscene, but this ability never made it into the final fight.

[@GlydeBorealis]

Whoaaa that's so cool! Wish I knew that! Also imagine if that was in the fight. That would have been terrifying hahaha!

[@darkmoon2503]

Glyde Borealis From what I've looked into, late-development concept art has actually shown a LOT of extra design bits about monsters that never made it into the final game, like Vaal Hazak using its second, larger jaw in a pin-move to deliver a point blank effluvium blast. Also, if you want to see the Nami concept art that proposed its use of ink, there's a video here on KZbin talking about Nam's design history that includes it. You can find it around the 5:31 mark in this vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/poKTiaiLbLmdeJI

@@darkmoon2503 I'm watching the whole thing now. I need to get my hands on that artbook, or at least an english version. That would be immensely helpful to my future videos. That being said it is fun speculating haha

[@roadjcat]

Wonder if they dropped it for being too similar to Gore Magala

[@o2xygen717]

I hope they implement that in a future iteration, it sounds sick!

[@gaalxystar1873]

I feel bad for hunting Namielle down. It one of the few passive elder dragons that won't attack anyone unless someone attacks Namielle. And it seems like Namielle knows how to control its powers unlike most elder dragons are very aggressive and isn't self aware of their powers

[@kakashihatake326]

Its like Teostra looking at you when it has a reputation as a rampaging beast.

[@jaydenb192]

Elders aren't aggressive, they just have drastic affect on the ecosystem by simply existing

[@Tyranid_Hive_Mind]

Nami is one of the dragons that stays calm even when u approach it. I love Namielle and the only reason I will go on an expedition to chill with Namielle

[@camjedi99]

You got the relaxing, but informative tone of a Planet Earth documentary pretty well. Nice.

[@GlydeBorealis]

David Attenburrough is my main source of inspiration. And it makes me very happy to hear you compare me to Planet Earth, Thank you!

[@nataliedarley3943]

Your channel is criminally underrated. These mockumentaries are so incredibly well done.

[@Ajehy]

When you said “wild scoutflies” it made my day.

[@bradmandawe1386]

Namielle could be one of the 5 creation dragons that created the first land, sea, lakes, rain, mountain, sky and the sun. When it does it's Nova it creates a water poddle, like a lake and it rains after just like one of the creations dragons who became the lake and it's scales turned to rain.

[@thdenwheja756]

It's really inspiring how well this series was made, with some creative uses of the animations and footage to drive home the games' point that these really are animals. Be proud!

[@GlydeBorealis]

Yeah! they're not just boss monsters or targets. They're living, breathing creatures and I cannot praise Capcom for actually spending the time to flesh out the monster roster.

[@MissBeeBonnet]

Awesome! I wonder if Namielle is like a Hagfish, with a special kind of water-retentive slime that she can produce in large quantities by mixing the correct proteins with water? Hagfish can produce upwards of 20 gallons of the stuff, and it helps them both retain water and deter predators; that might explain why the “water” she leaves everywhere sticks to surfaces without dripping or flowing, and why it’s so slippery! It also might explain how she’s able to stay well-hydrated so far from any large bodies of water. :3

[@GlydeBorealis]

I actually looked them up after reading your comment and holy damn that's interesting. I never made the connection! I actually borrowed from Comb Jellies and Electric Eels but your suggestion makes a LOT of sense and I kinda wish I knew before I did the script. Thanks for sharing!

[@darkmoon2503]

I did a report on the hagfish in school some years ago, and when I learned about Nami's watery slime, the hagfish was the first thing I thought of.

[@type97te-ke95]

The Shamos part was very funny, good job

[@GlydeBorealis]

Glad you liked it =)

[@8bitomegazero77]

I can imagine that when the highlands are dry namielle will just spray a bunch of water for it to rain

[@CandiedCarrion]

Very very great video!, all of these documentaries you made are relaxing and educational about ecology keep up the work!

[@TheMadGod]

The sound design of this monster is satisfying as fuck!

[@las0rpewpew]

Amazing video. Poor little shamos never knew what hit him. Great sidestory

[@GlydeBorealis]

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

This series is amazing!! Will u be doing 1 for Velkhana also? ^^

[@GlydeBorealis]

Thank you for your kind words, and yes! there is something in the works related to Velkhana!

[@andreas-uq7zo]

I love this video, it seems like an asmr documentary

[@ZombieToxinSpawn]

I love this bioluminescent eel manta ray jellyfish dragon

[@Sovann_the_Mighty]

Wow, using the scoutflies with a rider like that felt really inspired! great work also, I love Namielle, so... ^^

[@GlydeBorealis]

Indeed! It was a sudden idea I had to make the cutscene from the perspective of the shamos rather than the hunter.

[@earthwormjimbo348]

How did you get this awesome 1st person view footage with zero HUD?

[@GlydeBorealis]

I used a mod to make my hunter invisible and turned off the HUD (you can do this in the options menu) and put on an invisible ghillie mantle. That way, I can walk around freely without anything noticing or attacking me.

[@Loveking-qu5nd]

Awesome

Certainly the vibe I'm going for. BBC Earth or Planet Earth by Attenburrough. Thank you for your kind words

[@TJSeries-Animated]

Wouldn’t namielle also be a male?

[@GlydeBorealis]

I use a sort of "general" she, like how one might refer to a car as a "she". I think remember reading that -elle is an feminine ending for a name. So I referred to them as "she" for the purposes of the narration. Hope that helps =D

[@TJSeries-Animated]
