I like to imagine that the poolfish are larval forms of the grandgousier, which implies that either they reproduce in the first stage of their life, or, more unsettlingly, *they can somehow climb between levels*

[@denebkhast]

perhaps its more like as if poolfish from the first level fell into the layers below, then matured into an unseen nymph-like state after surviving long enough in the dark while cannibalizing other poolfish to grow larger and turned into the juveniles we see in the depths if they managed to live long enough.

19:14 thank you for actually understanding that entities make liminal spaces suck

[@prototypex8217]

Oversaturation of entities make it suck The original backrooms was better when it was just that endless space. no floors, no entities, just you, the damp carpet, old wallpaper, and cheap lights. An entity is fine here and there, but if every place has some sort of entity it just gets bad. Almost like scps outside of some originals (I've even started seeing SCP and backrooms getting merged)

[@chilfang2422]

It's nice when its only 1 entity that rarely appears. Makes you feel like it could be anywhere but you still don't expect it when it actually does.

[@seigeengine]

It really depends on the execution. The idea of not just being trapped in an endless liminal space, but eventually coming across something living there is terrifying. But actually making that interesting to give details on or implement in a game like Minecraft is basically impossible. It's scary because it's threatening and unknown. Liminal spaces without anything in them would be scary in reality, but they don't have much to interest you, and they certainly don't make for a fun experience in a game.

[@mr.stuffdoer8483]

That one backrooms animation made by like a 12 year old did entities in liminal space perfectly. Liminal spaces are unsettling; if you want genuine fear, it has to make you feel like you’re there, and something else is too. Even the original backrooms post addresses the concept: “God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you.” The emptiness is unsettling. The idea that despite the emptiness, you’re not alone, _when executed properly,_ is terrifying.

[@seigeengine]

@@mr.stuffdoer8483 It's also a problem with games like MC because you can respawn, and once you do it's not really scary anymore.

I just love the use of the name Grandgousier for the anglerfish monster. It's very fitting that the "giant monster" is named after the father of a giant in french litterature. The entire dimension is also incredible regardless of the name of the deep sea monster and I'm honestly more and more impressed by rat's mod making skills each time I watch a new video.

[@lith0s167]

Well, a Grandgousier is actually a kind of Eel with a ridiculously large mouth so I'm not sure if Rat knew about the character in the book Gargantua. But it's true the fish was named after him, cause it's got a mouth so big it could swallow its whole body.

[@Gundam_mug_liker]

Yeah, and possibly, there are multiple of the Leviathan size/adult versions of these overgrown anglerfish, and only certain spots have not been clamed by a gigantic one and possibly after an anglerfish reaches adulthood, they replace their mother as the layoff their final eggs

Now that I look at it, I think it would be a great idea, if you could stuff a different thing inside of the cracked portal frame and get to other dimensions. This could take some time to make, but would be really cool!

[@cybercat5555]

Unpopular opinion: the grandgousier was scarier before sounds. Just it slowly drafting in the dark water, and if it makes a sound you know one's nearby, while if it didn't then you'd _always_ be looking over your shoulder. Maybe a nasty crunching sound for when it eats you, but prolly not idle ones

[@Keltix1991]

It's also a bit contradictory for a creature that lures its prey in with a light to be roaring and scaring people away.

[@dadmitri4259]

Give it an idle sound, but still something much more subtle, like the sound of it moving through the water
