Literal chills over the idea of the gloom hands taking over the empty shell of a guardian

[@Bleh47-77]

Imagine an area in the depths called the "Shiekah Tech Dump" or something along those lines. As you venture further into this maze of a junkyard, you find items such as the ancient arrow head and other great gear. On your way out, an old, broken guardian head rolls out of the pile in front of you. A gloom hand rushes out of said pile, dragging the corpse of the guardian out with it. The gloom hand screws the head of the guardian back on, activating it and several other gloom hands shoot out of the bottom, where the legs used to be. A health bar appears on your screen. "Scourge of Hyrule Kingdom, Gloom Guardian" (or smthing) It screeches and takes aim, the combination of shiekah tech and gloom interfere with your purah pad, having a similar effect to the sandstorm in gerudo desert. You try to run, but this thing is faster than anything you've faced yet. Using prior knowledge of the gloom spawn, you climb up high, but this is no gloom spawn. Instead of appearing out of the ground, the arms come from the guardian itself allowing it to climb. Even an incredibly powerful weapon (like a silver Lynnwood horn with a royal guard claymore) seems to be practically ineffective. If the gloom infused laser misses you, it will explode and splatter gloom everywhere around it. However if you get hit, it will deal tremendous damage (even full heart containers is similar to just a few) it will also permagloom one of your hearts (which could be bought from bargainer or horned statues) or can also grab and shoot you, which at such close range is fatal unless you escape (or are at full health as you can't die if you are) of you manage to kill the arms, the second phase will initiate. Phantom Ganon bursts out of the guardian shell and no longer has the traditional gloom weapons, but wields a seemingly shiekah blade with a scythe (similar to silver lizalfos horns) fused on top. With this weapon, phantom Ganon is able to use it like all 3 weapon types. After the phantom Ganon fight, he drops the scythe topping as a material for fusing. It would have the most fuse attack power in the game. Also probably some special thing. This enemy is not Ganons doing. It will not respawn after a blood moon as Ganon has no control over it. After a blood moon, only normal gloom hands would spawn here.

I could imagine it would look like the guardians that are in the ground from BOTW but when approached gloom would surround it and make it burst from the ground covering the broken guardian in its own gloom and the hands would rapidly make their way to you working like its legs *(and like a comment said the hands would grab you while target locking a laser on you)* And when you hit the guardian in the eye to stun it a few times it would work like a hinox, the hands will start to cover the guardians eye if you try to take aim again.

This is the scariest mashup I've heard in my life. Fantastic job.

Imagine a gloom hand grabbing you. Once you think things cant get worse, a guardian is pointing a laser at you

[@NetBattler]

That's more terrifying than frox munching me 😂

I didn’t list every reason why, but I prefer the Gloom Hands because: 1. You choose to run away from them if you want to instead of running for cover. 2. Hyrule and the Depths aren’t crawling with them. 3. They can drain your health, but their attacks can’t kill you in one hit. 4. The five Sages can fight by your side. 5. You don’t need to parry anything to kill them.

This genuinely scares me. Good job.
