Flatwoods Monster Sightings in Video Games!

[@imjustdandy9799]

As a West Virginian, I’m so glad you made this video!! Mothman, though he’s a gem, takes all the limelight as WV’s cryptid. Its time for our girls spotlight!

[@shrimpmanwhit3621]

Agreed. WV most definitely has some wild cryptids. As well as some incredible history that unfortunately a lot of conservative members of the state are far too uneducated to appreciate.

[@jayeraine]

Mothman is probably my favorite cryptid, and i am glad it got a mention in the video. Joe Nickell speculates that Mothman was a mother owl protecting her offspring, so it might have been female too

[@justinstrong9595]

It's not a girl

[@rudolfambrozenvtuber]

@@justinstrong9595 prove it

[@lloydmartel]

@@rudolfambrozenvtuber I mean, can't really prove it's a girl either. We don't know what it is. And since it's obviously not real, we probably wont know.

[@lastknight4217]

Hazel's childhood experience about getting into cryptids and aliens mirrors mine so fucking hard that it made me remember a book in elementary school about an alien that came back from the moon landing and the big twist was Neil Armstrong had his name on a clipboard as Neil A. and the protagonist realized it was alien backwards. Also I saw the flatwoods monster drawing in a big black book of cryptids and became so obsessed that I'd draw her in the margins of all my papers (along with mothman) to point of getting in trouble with my teachers. Good times!

[@a2izo]

Neil A. ...... Wait a fucking minute

[@tomkatt8274]

all legendary monsters are cryptids

[@Lumber_jocks]

Neil Armstrong backwards is Gnorts Mr Alien

[@Spongyboi897]

Same!!

[@Phudge]

Hazel, can I just say I adore your brain and the choice of music? Pokemon Ranch? Rule of Rose? And these seemingly nonsensical yet absolutely intriguing video topics? You have single handedly made me a Flatwoods Fanboy (name pending).

[@fattinuggies3571]

Im not sure if i also hear Deadly Premonition

[@AverageHeathcliffSimp]

also forgot the start up song of green green (what super marios worlds theme was based on)

[@Professor-Badger]

You super do, it's so nice

[@talkinghoorse6936]

I've always loved The Flatwoods Monster because I find it really unsettling, so I'm kinda embarrassed after learning everyone thinks it's cute lmao.

[@nstewart1623]

I always put in the same sphere of fear as a rattlesnake, a "don't touch it and back away if it makes a noise", so you're not the only one :))

[@a2izo]

Don't worry it's creepy to me also. Like incredibly creepy.

[@bruh._.2911]

i used to shit myself to this cryptic wtf, he's creepy as fuck, did you see the draw done at the time?

[@benjaminstorace6699]

@@a2izo Googly eyes become incredibly creepy when they focus on you.

[@RealCoolCowboy]

If it helps, I find it completely unsettling too. I get why someone would think it is cute, but I think because of it's large face and head, small arms and floating body it's just not something I ever want to deal with.

[@dontuserachelslurs]

Hi! I don't know if it's useful to repeat it here too but Pokémon does have a flatwood monster, Gothitelle! >∆

[@sorcererofthecheddararts5640]

I’m pretty sure that the character Maligula from psychonauts 2 counts as a flatwoods monster. She doesn’t have glowing eyes in the picture you most commonly see of her, in the mental worlds of lobotos labyrinth and psi kings sensorium she is portrayed with them.

[@SmudgedSketch]

Braxsuit and Flapwoods from cassette beasts are (obviously) flatwoods monster inspired, and they're some of my favs from that game :>

[@9Sadness9]

I'm sure this one doesn't count but just as a fun fact, there's a piece of Splatoon concept art where you can see a Flatwoods Monster acting as some sort of judge for an early version of a Splatfest Event. It's really cool!

[@thirdwheel9938]

Huh?? From which artbook? I've never heard of it it sounds so cool!

[@TiMona42]

I've never seen this i really want to! I still stand my belief that the octotroopers are modelled on them

[@enigma7218]

I'm so glad you've blown up hazel, your commitment to fill up our days with well-researched and enjoyably paced videos that give off a sense of adventure really scratch an itch I get when I'm really stressed out or just need a brake from things. Your willingness to throw yourself into the ever-dense internet, and turn it into something cohesive and malleable in the mind is truly a talent I hope you continue to cultivate. Thanks so much!

[@dizzydee4889]

second this, so well put. hazel is at once a distilled and delectable serving of weird internet that calms and comforts the soul with the perfect lining of twin parts novelty and nostalgia. chef's kiss.

[@miriamelizabeth5548]

Oh the urge I have to design an anime girl-esque flatwoods monster now, given that there is apparently an unfortunately severe lack in the department, is so strong. I'm adding this to my drawing idea list immediately.

SMT not having the flatwoods monster is wild, like they have a chemtrails demon, but no flatwoods???

[@talkinghoorse6936]

SMT has Orgone Ghost, a demon based on the obscure conspiracy of Orgone Energy, yet no Flatwoods.

[@embracedsilence9926]

I'm still mad only one SMT game had my boy Sobek, like fuck what does the most popular crocodile based mythological figure gotta do to get into SMT?

Headsup if you haven’t heard, Yugioh Go Rush has a Flatwoods Monster character named Mitsuko. She’s 3 meters tall and her traditional design is a mech suit. And this week’s episode introduced another girl from her planet who pretends to be a basketball hoop.

[@ponkotsu6562]

I haven't watched Go Rush and don't really plan on it but I love Mitsuko on principle alone. Like, holy shit, giant Flatwoods Monster lady!! Such a fun concept 😁

Hell ye new hazel Just dropped

[@nailwind]

I am addicted to your enthusiasm and brain talking about stuff nobody else does

[@DoubleDeckerCoffin]

Obsessed with the sheer amount of palpable love bursting from this video. You can feel just how deep your fascination for cryptids and obscure video game details goes and, I gotta admit, I ain’t related to a KZbin personality like that in like, a decade. Very fun dialogue that feels personal without taking away how well researched the vid is. Awesome!!

[@finngswan3732]

I don't know how I've NOT heard of Flatwoods, but I'm totally in love now.

I don't know why this was recommended to me, but hell yes. Hyperfixations on single topics across obscure media is 100% my jam and butter. Subscribed for sure. Also just wanted to mention that your games played list is extremely based and maybe what sold me on giving this video a full watch. edit: what the hell you did a Lain, Azumanga Daioh and Elfen Lied video? literally so based

[@shaky5754]

Just wanted to let u know ur the best youtuber ❤️

[@EBroxas72]

This video single handheld convinced me to stick a Flatwoods monster gal in my Indie game's next update. which is what I am working on while listing to your videos in the background. Thank you/You're welcome lol.

[@shikonaori]

God Jellyfish was such a good band, they're the absolute last thing I would have expected to come up in a hazel video but I'm grateful all the same

[@rexsears3004]

This video's subject matter alone gave me a Jimmy Neutron Brain Blast of nostalgia, and then it just kept going. Thank you for sharing your multitude of niche interests, and reigniting some long lost loves of mine.

[@ronmaelgrindset8509]

so happy to have found this video! the flatwoods monster was also a childhood fear turned into something i adore (i was so scared of the drawing at first that i didn't even register it was a drawing until i was a teenager. i couldn't look at it for longer than 1 second so i swore it was a blown out black and white pic). happy to see more people that appreciate this sweetie and happy to learn of more niche references to her i wasn't aware of :)

[@djblaklite]

You made a video about a cryptid alien monster that I didnt know about, and where she is found in media, with an emphasis on japanese games. I love this channel so much.

[@Ghost-jp5qn]

I love your videos, but I have to say this one is the most important to me. Whenever I'm having nightmares and keep waking up in the night, I put this video on repeat and let it lull me to sleep. Works like a charm. I've probably watched it 10 times now.

[@stormsource7438]

I'm so happy that someone else adores the flatwoods monster as much as I do. I found out about them from the Nijura Maid version of her and have been obsessed ever since. Definitely subbing now.

thank you for mentioning the band Jellyfish in a KZbin video in 2021. as both a fan of cryptids AND early-90s retro power pop, this delighted me 🙏

I really love this video. A weird synchronicity is that a year ago, I made a flat woods monster figure and I used a Heartless dome for her head. I just found your channel about a month ago, and you've got a some GOOD ideas. Keep it up champ.

[@Unfunniest_Asian]

Wtf?! I just started thinking about the Flatwoods Monster again and this shows up in my recommended. I thought companies just tracked my searches and listen in on my microphone, not read my mind. But this was a pretty cool video so no complaints here.

[@Beetalerry]

Flatwoods Monster is my favorite too, and this was so fun to see so many games I recognize, but never knew there was a flatwoods monster in them. Thanks for this detailed coverage! This was wonderful to watch.

Dude, thank you so much for directing me to Uchuu Daisakusen Chocovader with this video. The OG figures look super dope, and the collectable alien rpg is way up my alley (have a soft spot for ben 10 as a kid). I would kill to get hi-res images of all the figures as inspirational reference.

Yo like half my family lives in Flatwoods so like this oddly super specific monster from where my family is based being so ingrained in video games fills me with so much joy. In Flatwoods there are these GIANT wooden chairs that I remembered being like ENTRANCED by, and like you would see random like depictions of it scattered throughout people's gardens and what not. I cannot TELL you the AMOUNT of joy this video brought me. Like. I have NEVER felt more seen in the Video Game Community ™ like FOR REAL. Someone GETS IT that the Fallout Flatwoods Monster isn't our GIRL. It isn't HER. It's SOMEONE ELSE. omg. I'm overwhelmed thank you Hazel.
