When I heard that when Gruzzle corrupts into either form they couldn't corrupt into the other, I thought that was lame as a mechanic, but then I learnt it was because of what it corrupts into and I love it, it makes sense that if it become peaceful it wouldn't want to become a gun toting murder bear (as cool as that is).

[@Art-enjoyer_Fern]

For sure! I think when narrative and mechanic are able to line up in that way it can make for really interesting moments, and it does make you feel a bit more involved that you get to pick and prioritise what it is that you'd prefer in a permanent manner :) obviously wouldn't apply that everywhere but here it helps you engage with one of the stories the game is trying to tell :3

I think it'd be pretty cool if Orphos took on some Eevee inspiration in that it could become various forms on extinct species based on what genetic memory it has stored. Since the world is based in victorian science, Darwin has just explored the concept of evolution so it could feed in that way plus you could make Darwin a member of the HHC.

Also, asides from labeling them for documentation, do the subtypes offer any advantages against other Enigmorphs?

[@redthunder2517]

I feel like it would be a bit clearer if the innermost ring for the tertiary type was a bit larger and if the color for the Minera types were changed to a light blue, just so it doesn't look too similar to Necros. Something that I really love about the Enigmorphs is that unlike shiny Pokemon, they have 2 other variants and they both include little design flourishes that don't make them feel like just palate swaps.

[@budgiegryphon]

I think some kind of decor on the type rings would make them easier to differentiate at a glance, the rings aren't easily noticeable

[@wind-flower]

While I like the symbols for each type, I think they're a bit too elaborate from a game design perspective. The symbol takes up too much space, and the rings are too slim / don't stand out enough. I think simplifying the symbols a bit and making the "technical" aspects bigger would help with identifying them in a game UI.

That could work well with ‘angel’s glow’, a fungus that helped some solders survive otherwise deadly wounds without immediate medical attention. That it glows would be so cool to see in an enigmoprh! Maybe a neon theme?

What would be really cool is a projector enigmorph that has captured ghosts in it, so when some part of it projects a scary ghost comes out.

Love the discovery aspect of unveiling more information about the enigmorphs. I imagine a legends arceus type gameplay wherein after you catch an Enigmorph you need to complete several tasks in order to complete it's entry. I imagine the task to unlock the enigmorph's types is to have it battle an enigmorph of each primary type.

[@Slimmagma]

What would be fun is having pretty much nothing. Like having the type triangle but not the types or empties of an enigmorph.

Imagining using it's first form as a floating torch to explore while it's corrupted could smash down walls or be ridden round.

[@FalcnPWNCH]

*_Hell yeah we love more bear-based monster designs in this household!_* I think you really captured the playfulness and innocence of the bear cub nicely with its expression, it shows the little guy was still happy at its final moments, and you can greatly build upon this by then having every single bear cub react differently and fork the evolution depending on whether said cub manifested rancor and evolved to cause violence or spread serenity

Posting this here because I REALLY want you to see it, I'm so proud of it and I really hope it gets into the game. Batrachant: A Nascent form Enigmorph formed from a deceased frog after it had ingested fireflies. The fireflies, now in control, still need some form of sustenance, but have grown the taste for other insects due to the influence of the frog's soul. It now puppets the vocal chords to emit a song almost like that of a siren and flashes the lights through it's stretched-thin, ballooned lungs to hypnotize and lure in prey. However, its singing has also lured children and adults alike into the bogs, which has given Batrachant a small taste of what it is like to perform. (Based off of Batracien and Chant) (Necros, Aquatic, and Light) Grenopois: A Forked-Path Apex Enigmorph formed from when the frog's soul finally reemerges from within the fireflies. Realizing how much it enjoys performing, Grenopois sneak into opera houses due to opera singing almost resembling Batrachant's new mating call. Seeing a performance live on stage, Grenopois, now imbued with purpose due to human intervention, will steal clothes from opera houses and attempt to have its voice heard. The frog's soul and the fireflies' souls now work in a symbiotic relationship to dazzle with light and sound as Grenopois has started being picked up for smaller opera performances. (Grenouille, Opera and french for spot, pois.) (Aquatic, Light, and Fauna) Zauberfrosch: A Forked-Path Apex Enigmorph formed when the frog's soul seeps out from being absorbed from the fireflies. Imbued by intense vanity, Zauberfrosch fashions itself what it thinks is a beautiful dress out of materials from it's swamp home, not knowing that it can't form tangible clothing. Zauberfrosch will do anything to get an audience, the fireflies now parasitizing the frog's vain soul as it traps and hypnotizes small animals, other Enigmorphs, and even adults with its light shows and potent plantmancy. They are often trapped for so long that they starve or die from exhaustion, as the hypnosis from Zauberfrosch forces its victims to stay awake. (Based off of The Queen of the Night from De Zauberflote, Zauber being Magic and Frosch being Frog.) (Aquatic, Light, and Fey.)

Excellent work. I commented a lot of questions on the last video about type design and I feel like you addressed pretty much every issue I had (the addition of a "neutral" primary type goes a long way, although I'm still not sure I understand why not every Enigmorph has a primary typing). Something I'd like to praise is your philosophy of evolution of concepts rather than a monster just kind of getting bigger, I think too many newer Pokemon designs are afraid to do something like that. I saw on your last video that you took some inspiration from Spectrobes and it really shows, Spectrobes was one of my favorite series growing up and in no small part due to the absolutely insane monster design. Keep up the good work!

Omg I’m in love with both these new Enigmorph’s, especially Orphos and Aegisaur: I’m a big dinosaur nut and having a living piece of the meteor that led to their destruction eventually taking the form of the long-gone prehistoric creatures is such an awesome bit of lore. I’ve been scrolling the comments and seen people mention that they’d like to see Aegisaur taking the form of other prehistoric creatures as well as an ode to Eevee’s multiple evolutions, and I think that would be an awesome concept to explore, though admittedly I’m very biased so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Gruzzle and its split evo’s also deserve all the love as well. I immediately pinged Gargomon as the inspo for Syndurus which brings me so much joy as Digimon is my fav in the monster tamer/collector genre. That said, I think I’d want my Gruzzle to corrupt into Urscended, I’d never want it to feel unloved (though I also might just have it primarily be Gruzzle and also give it’s bullet buddy some love, hopefully turn it into more of an actually “buddy” than a bad influence)

I’ve been loving your Enigmorphs!! I’ve been wanting to say this for a while so hopefully you’ll see this comment since this is a newer post. I’ve been thinking a for the hunters you could include some kind of minor level of magic that they could weld. Obviously this wouldn’t be anything extreme like a fire ball but perhaps this could be the method for them to corrupt/ de-corrupt the Enigmorphs. As well it makes sense as it allows for characters that don’t like Enigmorphs or prefer to use few of them ways to realistically survive on more dangerous excursions. I think I’d add more depth and possibilities to the world.

[@somerandomschmuck2547]

If we ever do get a game there absolutely needs to be a level or an area/dungeon where we go visit an old house or museum that belongs to/is run by some “gentleman adventurer” type character, where they brag about having found/collected/shot half the exhibits. Before eventually something happens (maybe a villain does something, a prime shows up, etc…) and a bunch of the things corrupt into Enigmorphs, and they all immediately turn to look at the owner.

[@arielalejandrodelfabro1740]

The Gruzzle line seems to have a theme. Of Nature Vs Technology Or… rather… humanity affecting nature and resulting in this difference of the Enigmorph Becoming more vengeful and technological Or becoming more peaceful and natural, healing nature Maybe this will come in handy with some human characters that try to help nature or that hate enigmorphs Since weapons seem to be also natural to come of a construct or metal enigmorphs

I think blue baby could be trio split evolution, with Ageasuar being the version where both minds are in harmony. Then add a version where the astroid in control and is the head of a larger more cosmic horror space dinosaur. Lastely a version where the dino DNA is in control and uses the asteroid as it's core/heart. The trio split evolution feeds back into that idea that the Blue baby shape shifts which is what allows it to have 3 unique forms

[@11nephilim]

Ok I like the new types a lot, the addition of Necros opens up some cool possibility space, the colours and rings add visual clarity, and there's generally less overlap and better coverage of potential designs. I *do* still think that Bloom feels a little redundant with Flora and Fae there though. I feel like Fungus or Poison were better in this regard. Fungus (which you can abstract out into Decay or something) is better at covering all the living organisms that facilitate decay ( as opposed to necros which represents the dead matter itself as well as spirits etc), and something like Poison/Venom/Corrosion feels far more distinct and enables more kinds of design than Bloom imo! *Edit:* ok I've heard the postscript now. I kind of agree that it's confusing from a purely scientific point of view to put fungi in the flora category, but they are absolutely not "closer to animals" and I don't understand why this myth is so prevalent. They're fundamentally different organisms from both groups, which all diverged not long after complex multicellular life emerged. For this reason I'd probably lean more toward the Poison side of things- or perhaps something like Blight, which could encompass diseases as well as poison?

I don't know if this will be a topic in the future but are the enighmorphs able to reproduce? If so is it restricted to limited types/species (ex: necros and minera can't) and will that create new enoghmorphs or do they just take the shape of one of the 2 enighmorphs? I think this is a cool concept but at the same time I'm aware it would be difficult to implement since in a game everyone tries the most possible combinations, so I'm just curious about this.

[@DrakeDragonton]

How i’ve always thought a breeding creature collector should work is that they must be fully evolved (corrupted) at the time of breeding and they must have at least mostly the same types or all the same types. This would limit the number of inputs greatly, but also make for interesting tasks like trying to find a creature with matching types and have them be decently powered up. Also, like irl hybrids, these hybrids would not be able to breed and make new creatures so it lessens the complication.

Like an Esculent and Fae type could only breed with another Esculent and Fae type (I’ve changed Edible to Esculent in my headcannon)

[@neutralthing99]

Oh yeah, here we go again! Ngl, I was a bit sad to see Fungus go, mainly because: 1) Fungi are surprisingly eldrich when you get to the crazy ones, and 2) With Flora and Fauna, it'd be like having another one of the Eukaryotic Kingdoms. BUT, that's why I was removed. It isn't ACTUALLY Flora. So I'll take Edible as a fair trade because holy crap that's so funny lmao. And the Necro type is kinda perfect for the more Fungi/Bacteria-like enigmorphs. It might be my favourite type only because I would die for Gruzzle oml - look at that baby!! The forked corruption it's such a fun concept, but I'll admit that when you started explaining it, I was visualizing Digimon evolution mechanics. Maybe forked corruptions could be a rare trait, something that very few enigmorphs can do? Or, maybe, what is rare isn't the forked corruption in itself, but the ability to chose either one depending on occasion. It's an idea. I'm very curious about how human interactions shape these corruptions. I'm half convinced Jack is the hallway cryptid of the organization that we - somehow- caught his eye and now he shares secret tips with. Oh! An scorpion🦂Cute :)

[@fizzyizzypop1300]

lol we had the exact opposite opinion about the forked corruptions -maybe I should look into digimon more. Edit: I bet whatever founder you choose to train under would have some effect

[@jacobbiggs7956]

Ooh, another intriguing video. I gotta get my hands on some of these new Enigmorphs, especially Aegisaur. I need me a cosmic dino buddy. In the meantime, Gruzzle is a very cute but sinister twist on a slain bear; it gives off sort of "starter Morph" vibes to me. I'm interested to see what options new players will have to choose from whenever this releases fully, whatever the form.

[@fizzyizzypop1300]

I think more like route 1 enigmorph than starter.

[@ricardovelozo812]

Oooooh, I really like those two! You talked about how Enigmorphs don't evolve 'linearly,' meaning the apex forms aren’t necessarily stronger than the first form but rather serve a different purpose. However, most of the past creatures designed had similar skills in all three forms, and it felt like the last one just did everything the other two did, but better. With Gruzzle and Orphos, they have very different skill sets when corrupted, so the cycle of corrupting and de-corrupting makes a lot of sense.

[@chriss0686]

Would love to see any enigmorphs mythology related

[@sophiachalloner8951]

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

[@MattAttack911]

Agree

[@deadlydingus1138]

Didn’t we see Camazotz in the legendary video?

[@ziongort9827]

I love this series with it's style and presentation. It has grim designs and fun/cute ones too? These ideas are so creative as well.

[@jordandean507]

YES FINALLY A DEATH TYPING very glad you decided to add a common death typing I really feel like that will open a lot of doors for your design!! very excited to see more, im loving the bears, Urscended might be one of my favourites you have made so far (even if she loses my beloved death typing) really excited to see what you come up with in the future

[@GabrielMathis-h4j]

I would love to see mixed versions of an endomorph alternate palette would be like!

[@OllieSollie]

Enigmorphs give me Yo-Kai Watch vibes and I love it for that

[@ethanholt9932]

Not sure how many others have said this, but I feel like minera kinda already covers the metal sub-type. Maybe it's just me, but I think fire made more sense as it's own sub as it's gas based, but when I think minerals, I think metal too. In something like the context of Pokemon, steel makes sense to be separate from ground or rock (even though technically I believe earth and rock are also one and the same). Since while metal does come from the ground, it's clear they mean dirt. While I do understand where the metal can be separate, I still think fire is its own class and better suits minera as a sub-type. Just my opinion. Otherwise I think the rest genuinely make perfect sense to me and cover a much broader field than the previous.

[@LeviathanClassCreations]

You can really tell now that the typing system is reflecting the specific gameplay concepts more than just general typing ideas now. Though, I am curious about poison being gone now since Necros specifically can't be poisoned, I wonder how poisoning will come into play

[@jrip_lord3876]

This is some great content man, my only recommendations is more types for prime enigmorphs.

[@TheOneandOnlyJDB2]

Again love this video, but I have one suggestion. I am colorblind and I imagine many other viewers are. I would like to please ask you to increase the contrast or something of the type outlines for the flora and fauna type families as I genuinely cannot see the difference between them. Thanks for reading this comment and even making this video in the first place!

[@meeb_consumer]

why are these so consistently PEAK they tell such a cool story!!!

[@Surepeacooler]

This is so cool thank you for making another one of these videos so quickly

[@Asocialite__]

Very excited for another lecture! Point of clarification - the little candle squid friend (apologies for my lack of rigerous notes) - what would their designation now be? Are they just pure Void type? or do they now take on the Electric type, fire and electricity all being connected to energy?

[@Subjectively]

Waxling will remain a Minera type, with its Fire typing replaced by Light.

[@flounderingfish2480]

The idea of a “junk drawer” classification in the world of Apocryphal with the Necros is very fun! In reality, we have our own junk drawer classification in biology with Protists. Any eukaryote that doesn’t fit in as animals, plants, or fungi are tossed in there, so having the HHC scholars make their own junk drawer of sorts helps the world feel more real.

[@DragonGal470]

Ok if this ever becomes a playable game I will play it instantly omg. I especially love Urscended's design and concept, I want it on my team or at least as my friend

[@GManCircuitz]

I'd care to have some kind of "end of semester" story session where our Procter tells us his name and a few of the journeys he went on before retiring to become a teacher. I somewhat wonder what made him so jaded & apathetic

[@_-_luca_-_722]

I’m looking forward to an update about god enigmorphs

[@MattAttack911]

Especially there types

[@lafeaschronicle3218]

I adore the Necros type!!!! Also the spit evo!!!! I love this
