Dont Starve Lore (LOBSTER THEORY)

[@slasher3428]

I'm mr frundles Thanks Gabe lol: kzbin.info/door/w1LUU9IFVtb0IJEw3FRUxQ Discord: discord.gg/FMxnpRA5RF

[@leninthebeaniesouhacker.2459]

Next theory when?

[@Angelo-y9o]

i think maxwell likes wobster dinner because he used to eat on fancy places when he was in the real world

[@The-Crisp]

That is literally the reason. I’m pretty sure klei confirmed it already

[@elChuchmay]

Or the opposite, when he was poor i think he wasn't eating as good as much as after getting the codex and being a little? rich. Or even after getting into the constant he could maybe eat whatever he want and just discovered he like lobster

[@elChuchmay]

Or maybe he got addicted to fancy food that suit his ego

[@thedbdentity2102]

To be honest both are probably true. He was starved of rich food that he was used to eating that was a real spite from his previous life of being poor

[@oreotrollturbo]

Makes sense

[@ayyydriannn7185]

It’s worth noting that Maxwell’s quote might be a reference to an infamous bug in the base game during beta where rock lobsters would breed uncontrollably if brought to the surface, gradually flooding entire biomes with them

[@SeraphimOfOne]

I wish I found out about this game way sooner 😭😭💀

[@Mikhail-Kuznetsov]

Isn't that supposed to be in a single DS?

[@loermansw]

I think the main reason these theory videos are so well-received is because they're fun and interesting, but dont require 30-minute deep-dives (though I'd welcome 30 minute videos from you). Furthermore, you present the information in an easily digestible format, and nicely use memes sparingly to keep that "slasher flair" we've come to expect and love from you and your videos. In other words. More please.

[@QilleWolf]

I can only upvote this once so I’m commenting to further express my agreement with this comment. We love theory videos

[@ManfiCat]

I love how most of this lore was probably unintentional

[@LunaWitcherArt]

Remember when rock lobsters would multiply infinitely in the overworld and fuck everything up? Good times Also the implication that Rock Lobsters roamed the surface at some point and were banished to the caves makes my brain feel weird

[@lunarjellyfish]

As a wobster enthuatist,the reason maxwell says that quote is because rock lobsters would overpopulate and lag the game. Also the hound quote is probably referring to how maxwell made hounds but they dont recognize him after being dethroned. We need a theory about Maxwell variants like in hamlet and shipwrecked

[@ethanotoroculus1060]

I actually have a personal headcanon that those variant worlds were created by old inheritors of the throne before getting deposed. Pugna references Them as having severed the pig people into fractures and a lot of the Forge item descriptions imply the pigs originate somewhere we haven't seen yet, so this to me indicates the Hamlet world might've been created in the image of what a pig would think their ideal world to be at the time before being intercepted. Hence, there are ruins in Hamlet. As for Shipwrecked, I'm quite a bit more clueless, but it is worth considering that the ancients seemed to strongly favor a tropical climate if their choice of residence in the muddy biome is to be considered, both worlds even supporting similar features like bananas, moss/lichen-filled turf, water-saturated ground and high amounts of bioluminescent flora and fauna. It's not incredibly likely to me that an ancient made it, but I do think it is in the question.

[@lunarjellyfish]

@@ethanotoroculus1060 Woa a huge theory but i meant Maxemelon and the parrot at the start of shipwrecked

[@jomez5561]

Gotta say Dont starve theories werent something i thought i needed till you started doing em

[@vectorskyy11.36]

I can't believe that no moleworm was harmed in this video, what a scam. Also, lobsters fucking rock 😎

[@kerbehklobbah5790]

The Rock Lobsters remind me a lot of Gorillas in our real world, they're incredibly brawny and large creatures, but they're relatively peaceful and won't attack you unless you attack them. This could perhaps further connect them to the ancients, because perhaps the Ancients are to Rock Lobsters as Humans are to Gorillas, in a sense. Two branching paths on the same evolutionary family tree, a case of convergent evolution you could say.

[@Handles_arent_a_needed_feature]

I wouldn't want to go near a gorilla

[@kerbehklobbah5790]

@@Handles_arent_a_needed_feature I mean you wouldn't *want* to go near a gorilla, but if you had to choose between them and basically any other wild animal that isn't way smaller than humans, they'd be your best bet since gorillas don't usually attack people who aren't idiots.

[@Handles_arent_a_needed_feature]

@@kerbehklobbah5790 pretty sure they do

[@Handles_arent_a_needed_feature]

@@kerbehklobbah5790 they're very territorial

[@kerbehklobbah5790]

@@Handles_arent_a_needed_feature There's never been a recorded gorilla attack on a human that wasn't because the human was provoking them to my knowledge. Now CHIMPS though, that's a very different story and I would not recommend you googling chimpanzee attacks because the images of the people they attacked are not pretty.

[@dreamcoresequoia7830]

also maxwell's favorite dish being lobster is about status lobster is a status symbol dish, and maxwell used to be dirt poor and destitute, and when he got codex umbra and his shows started to get successful, he could enjoy things typically reserved for upper class he is also a man of pride, and believes to be deserving of better than everyone else

[@cononsberg6919]

I only just realized that wobsters are called wobsters because they're just lobsters that entered the Constant, therefore making their name start with a W

[@joshriley2936]

OMG YOU'RE RIGHT, I always thought it was only meant to be a funny nod to Elmer Fudd!

[@sud1881]

Yes my favorite food source in winter is the Wabbit.

[@FBI-zi9hd]

I would like to taste some weefalo meat rn

[@graycatsaderow]

I need to kill a wrow for a pen guys help

[@fool6162]

It seems like Don't Starve relies heavily on play on words, (un)cultured swines, the ancients literally becoming shadows of their former selves, you are what you eat and eating food produced by nightmare fuel made them become nightmare creatures, potentially a part of the ancients had to chose between keeping either body or soul together as you mentioned it Rock lobsters may be a part of the ancients who preferred eating literal rocks than nightmare-produced food and became what they ate, much like the others Maybe the ancients were - literally - between a rock and a hard place

[@fool6162]

Also just noticed they are called Wobster, maybe the ancients have a real name and it probably starts with W could explain why the shadows of the ancients (nightmare creatures) are looking for a body as a king, which they do not possess, that starts with a W W and M being the two letters that resemble a crown random thoughts also the Moon starts with an M and the battle/mirroring between W and M makes total sense artistically

[@randomcoconut9340]

I was a little irritated when I saw the sub percentage screen come up, cause of how often creators show it. Then I realized that, at some point, YT unsubbed me.

[@slasher3428]

as much as garbage grifter channels spam that copypasta, there is some truth to the unsubscribe part Essentially youtube sometimes does subscriber audits to channels to make sure the subs arent bots and temporarily unsubscribes them to channels to see if they are active then resubs them later. However youtube doesnt always add them back

[@theworstspeedrunner]

Started watching the monster meat theory and a idea for why the pig king left the queen back in Hamlet and why no pigs other then the kid pig have the wp curse and I think it's because the pig king took everyone they knew was cursed and left except the pig kid

[@Sad_Mercy]

maybe maxwell banished them cuz he thought they were too good of an ally? while slow, they are certainly hardy and pack a decent punch, and they only require a common resource to be recruited. so what if maxwell thought it would be too easy to thrive on the surface with the lobsters' help?

[@plasmabasher]

Maxwell understood that your strongest ally could also become your strongest enemy. If he allowed the lobsters to become intelligent enough to understand their situation, they’d become a formidable opponent.

[@hypermaeonyx4969]

Or because they breed like rabbits in the surface. Back then, If you brought Rock Lobsters to the surface they'd reproduce absurdly fast and even if you kill every single one, They'd continue reproducing. This is simultaneously a bug and inside joke considering Maxwell's quote on them.

[@jamespegram6260]

Its already been stated ny many others in the comments but if we look at the context clues and how the game functioned at the time and maxwell omnipotence they got banished cuz they breed like rabbits for some reason and they are a force to be reckoned with, maxwell sought to demesticate the constant and that'll be pretty hard to do when you a mob that'll multiply faster than you can kill it

[@MatiasQuintanaV]

This about rock lobsters getting defensive over wobsters reminds me of that episode of pokemon where a Blaziken got PTSD from trying to eat Torchic shaped cookies and I'm imagining rock lobsters with sad puppy eyes holding a dead wobster

[@minespatch]

I'd love you to solve the mystery of Curio Collector's boss.

[@kulgydudemanyo]

I feel it's more likely that the Rock Lobsters are to the ancients what Chimps are to us Humans. We didn't evolve from Chimps but we are closely related by a common ancestor.

[@SIK_Mephisto]

I don't think it's necessary to make the assumption that coral polyps are the explanation for their hardened exterior, most crustaceans shells contain large amounts of calcium to harden them, with some creatures such as terrestrial isopods more than happy to strip cacium from rocks, the fact that they don't feed the rocks to their outside and instead rather eat it directly imples this; polyps also feed from particles suspended in the water an rely on the water heavily for transporting young and assisting in reproduction which would be really unlikely to occur on land, we also don't see any other evidence of terrestrial polyps in the caves enviroment to support this concept.

[@hypermaeonyx4969]

Wickerbottom herself states, when examining a Rock Lobster, That they just have a stone-like carapace and underneath it is their fleshy body

[@SIK_Mephisto]

@donutlovingwerewolf8837 The carapace is just the exoskeleton. It has nothing to do with external growths. The fleshy interior is just to state that they have meat inside them and aren't entirely stone

[@rolay7730]

Rock lobsters and Bunnymen really need some type of update. They have been in the game for so long and now we even have moon variants just asking to be made.

[@QilleWolf]

It would be neat if the reason they don’t have moon variants is because they’re almost entirely cave mobs and are safe from Them and the moon

[@rolay7730]

@@QilleWolf Well, the lunar grato already exists. They could easily add to that area for more cave mobs. No one is safe from Them.

[@QilleWolf]

@@rolay7730 fair point! I mean, these rock lobsters would looks absolutely sick with glowing moonstone bodies, right? But they would be a menace to deal with if they were hostile

[@rolay7730]

@@QilleWolf They are glass instead of rock that could completely twist the rock lobster idea on its head. A lunar rock lobster could throw small boulders from the ground, doing a lot of damage. But they have much lower HP than normal and shatter like glass when they die.

[@hollowknightfan5938]

Yoooo new slasher theory!! Let's go! I'm gonna meet you here after i watch it and tell what i thought!

[@lonelyaura]

Note, lobsters are considered a very excitement and fancy food, and Maxwell was putting himself into debt to reach a glamorous life, so.....

[@Red_Carnage]

maybe you're right, maybe not... It can also mean that Maxwell banned them from over world, because in solo DS you were able to move them upstairs and over time they populated so quickly and much making impossible to get rid of them. Its been years since I last played singleplayer, but I think they no longer follow you upstairs
