Lusus Naturae by Jeff Williams with Lyrics

This is the song played in the credits of RWBY: Grimm Eclipse. I absolutely love how dark this song is.
Sadly there was no dark fan art of Dr. Merlot that I could find, so this awesome art by AlphaGusta should do!

This genius makes Watts look like a punk in the knowledge department. Watts might be a master hacker, but Merlot does that *casually*, as a side gig. His primary specialty of somehow genetically modifying and controlling literal manifestations of Darkness created by a GOD far outstrips anything Arthur can do.

[@lucasfraczek4320]

One could argue that Watts just never got a bigger chance to shine, cause I could see him commanding an army of reverse engineered robots and unmanned Paladins. But, that still pales in comparison to anything Merlot has done. Him recoding a monster born from one of the fucking deities of his world is as terrifying as it could get.

[@janehrahan5116]

Watts: has direct access to the Grimm and their mommy. Can't figure out jack about them. Merlot: has just his Chad intellect. Almost cracks the code.

[@kabob0077]

[@SaiyanGamer95]

Reminder that by the time Watts died, RWBY and friends never even knew he existed. At most, they assumed Ironwood had something to do with hacking Penny, but that's about it.

[@orionriftclan2727]

In all fairness, Watts was a Tech genius, Merlot was a Genetic engineering Master, the two are different areas of science buy yes I do agree Watts looks like a simpleton compared to Merlot who looks like a god

[@SunLovinSolaire]

If you pay attention to the words, Merlot's plan at its core is pretty noble, use the Grimm to save humanity, rather than harm it. Turn Salem's weapon against her.

[@slateoffate9812]

[@joemorgan2390]

Merlot wishes his Grimm experiments were as freaky as Salem.

[@lorenzodonati8267]

It's a good thing that Salem didn't get her hands on Dr.Merlot. He's a genius that can rival, if not outclass, Watts, and if She would've managed to turn him on her side (which, knowing her talent for manipulation and his passion for the Grimm, might have not been so difficult) Remnant would've been doomed in less than a month.

Salem kinda did that instead, if you think about that and the hound

[@mega6662]

@@Z0MB1ESLAYER115yes but Salem does it through magic and silver eyed warriors, Merlot found a way to do it with technology and only himself If he had Salem’s resources he would make a talking Grimm with the power of a maiden able to tank silver eyes

[@SateliteRaider1]

That feeling when you realize that the more the series goes on, the more Merlot is vindicated.

[@ZLScratch]

Merlot- "I HAVE CREATED THE ULTIMATE GRIMM!" Salem- "You are like a baby. Meet my Hound." On that side note, anyone else notice Pietro has the same VA as Merlot?

[@zoharamitai8719]

Omg really?

[@abramelbin5631]

Nah, I'm pretty sure Merlot could figure out a way to make Grimm/humanoid hybrids if he wanted to. But if Grimm need humans in order to actively be a threat to humanity, then that pretty much defeats the point of them. Now, if we had a Silver-Eyed Warrior who was WILLINGLY working for Salem/Merlot, and was using their silver eyes to cover themselves in Grimm Liquid and manipulate it, then we'd be onto something...

[@dragonfrost9056]

The fact that Ruby is in this art for the song is showing how Salem could turn her into one of the most destructive and smart Grimm in the show if she gets the opportunity

[@kestrel4360]

The only reason this art is here is because the uploader couldn’t find dr merlot art. Check the description.

[@Fiddlewink3rd]

Despite how generic he was, merlot is one of my favorite villains in rwby. He was the only villain(not counting salem) who was able to genetically alter grim, who, as far as we know, don't have any genetics or cells. I want a whole story with this dude about how he changed grimm

[@Skeiths]

The act of controlling the Grimm for the good is a really cool concept, In my opinion they should have made this Dr. Watts motive, him being in Salem's group could also be explained as his own way of attaining deeper information and knowledge about the Grimm to one day use them against her. They would've created a really good morally gray character.

Surely one of his best songs, like damn those verses are amazing

[@Raddkann]

this song creeps me the hell out bro

[@raulrivera8006]

I swear everytime I hear "I've given you life my Lusus Naturae, open your eyes!" every single prominent mad scientist-adjacent character i've known in my life comes to my mind, from Dr. Frankenstrein about to defy nature, through Henry Wu witnessing the first dinosaur born in Jurassic Park, to Shou Tucker in FMAB making an abominaton out of his own daughter. This song evokes undead, abominations, chimeras, cyborgs, crimes, accidents and whatever scientist has believed they could play God behind all of these

[@fatjontredhaku388]

This song also hits different if you think the lyrics are sung by Salem instead of Merlot just makes sense

[@iiBakedDonut]

Always loved the game credit's music, what a great song. So is this game, of course.

[@leelduttis4086]

Volume 8 spoilers The Hound needs to be an excuse to use this song in the actual show. Not very likely that they’ll use a V4 song in V8 though :/ besides, there are some parts of this that clearly reference the fact Merlot is a scientist. I guess you could apply it to Watts as he’s the closest thing to an “evil scientist” we have in the show, but then it doesn’t really make sense, because it’s safe to assume that Salem created the Hound. Point is, it would be cool to hear this in the show, as a lot of people aren’t going to hear it if it’s just in the relatively obscure game, but unfortunately it’s not very likely that will happen.

I'm a year late but just wanted to say it also shows how messed up and dark the world of Remnant actually is but it's the Hunters and Huntresses that are the ones preventing that from manifesting. Not saying that's a bad thing though. :)

[@kevint1929]

Yeah, although if you look closely, it's been bubbling under the surface the whole time. Red like Roses II was about Ruby's depression over her mother's death. "Every nightmare just discloses, it's your blood that's red like roses, and no matter what I do, nothing ever takes the place of you"

[@ForumArcade]

But isn't Dr. Merlot right? If he can find a way to control the Grimm, or uplift them, why not do it? It's worth the risk to turn your worst enemy into a powerful ally.

[@samsonwilson4466]

Sadly most people see it as evil, or insane. People aren't rational. But I do agree with you.

[@zeratul____1228]

TBH its not a terrible idea the Grimm are practically infinite since they spawn from pools in the Dark Continent. (or at least it is heavily implied that until we know more about how the hell they work) Also if Dr Merlot was able to create a version that can infect other Grimm then he would basically have a chain reaction that would eventually purge all non-pacified Grimm.

[@fizzledimglow3523]

Forum Arcade I mean... his research led to the wholesale destruction of a major city. :thinking:

[@bigfatcarp93]

The problem with that is that we have no idea why the Grimm are hostile. By making them more intelligent, you risk making them more dangerous.

[@tobiasskorupa1649]

The good Dr. can't see the future ;) I believe he is doing it for the good and his reasons and goals are conflicting with Salem's, that's not bad and remember, they only target Humaniod beings and their creations... and get lured by negative emotions. I think Salem programmed the Grimm or are part of her magic or the ooze/portals? (Netherworld) I hope he makes an appearence and explains himself... better.

I'm pretty sure they're supposed to be elephants even though their tusks are more mammoth like due to Oobleck saying "The goliath in the room" instead of the elephant in the room. But as far as I know, those don't have hooves, so it couldn't leave a hoof print. I believe it's a large Grimm we haven't seen before.

I don't know when or how. But I want to see Dr.Merlot in the main series!

I now want Dr. Merlot to be a recurring villain in the series. Maybe after Salem's defeated.

[@AriesZero]

That would be fun and also pretty cool

well it is Latin, like all the spells in Harry Potter

i don't know why but the line "awaken my brood" always gives me chills when i hear this song. good job with the video by the way!

I particularly love the way this is arranged. I've always been a sucker for modulations and meter changes, but WOW the sounds as as a whole are dealt with brilliantly!

I love this, every song coming from is just jammed pack with deep meaning and such I guess, umph. Flynt, keep up the good work, not sure how I could deal with the boring parts of life without this sweet music. :)

[@Alex-kp5pq]

To me this doesn't so much seem sinister as tragic. Like the frankenstein story; Frankenstein wasn't actually evil, he was a gentle soul who loved children. He was just attacked because he was big and scary. Maybe that's what the Grimm once were- gentle...

[@Indigo_Polarity]

I don't think Merlot was based on Frankenstein, but Doctor Moreau, a mad scientist who sought to make animals into humans via cruel vivisection. He makes his beast-folk reject all animalistic activities and worship him. It's an interesting book talking about how different we actually are from humans. It's quite underrated in my opinion.
