The 8 legged killing machine known as the Corpser [Lore]

Thanks for watching Gears of War Lore - The Corpser Lore and Morphology. Do spiders creep you out? Of course they do. Humans react to things that scuttle - Damon Baird. Lets discuss all those legs and armor. The Corpser, next to the brumak, is arguably one of the most destructive forms in the locust army. Boring tunnles in the earth, they can help locust troops move wherever they need to. Lets see how they manage to do this. As always, thanks for watching Roannoke Gaming!

oh great now i'm gonna have to try another game you covered. >.> you mentioned your fear of spiders when making this vid? dude, irl i'm a gardener, I NEED spiders. I used to be afraid of them but not any more. the corpser's appearance reminds me of a spider from the carboniferous era, when giant bugs ruled the earth. Mesothile (I don't know if I spelled it right) was about the size of a manhole cover. Fortunately, unless we get a much denser atmosphere, bugs will never grow that big again.

1:22 Marcus is so badass, he knew that all he needed to do was to step back a little to avoid the corpser

[@hectorbeck4350]

I have crippling arachnophobia but I find that corpsers don’t look quite enough like spiders to scare me the same way (for me, at least)

[@RoanokeGaming]

interesting! I am not terrified of spiders, I just don't like them, and I strongly dislike the corpse haha

[@timothyswanson8773]

Same. I think it's either the eyes or the lack of spider fangs, as frostbite spiders in Skyrim still freak me out, but not as much as a real spider.

[@clayton8296]

exactly probably cos i started playing gears when it first came out and i was very young

[@56quevedo]

sorry laifs

[@mrgears3045]

They are , last year I knew nothing jumper spiders , tried to kill one , failed , and it crawled on my hand , but it didn’t harm me

[@ryaquaza3offical]

Tbh out of all the strange creatures of Sera, the Corpser is probably one of my favourites, closely followed by tickers and the serapede, Idk, I kinda like invertebrates in general, saying that a ticker is more of a rodent but whatever, it kinda looks like a bug lol

[@RoanokeGaming]

Interesting! The invertebrates are what creep me out, all those legs, yuck

[@mud4309]

Ofc Tickers are adorable I wanna snuggle one. Idc if it's trying to violently murder me as I snuggle it. Even the Locust can't resist my love.

[@JosephBallin320]

Y'all remember the hand to hand battle with a brumak and a corpser in Gears of war 2?

[@diabrog]

Since imultion was always been a form of mutagen (before it grew sentiant) I wonder what old corpsers looked like a long time ago

[@RoanokeGaming]

a good question, perhaps they were always there but just avoided the emulsion from instinct and then got brought around it due to their timing by the locust

[@gabriellowe9929]

[@RoanokeGaming]

That would be pretty cool to see, but where were they in the swarm?

[@biggibbly7471]

[@9thCaptainMorley]

0:40 he literally says 39ft tall or 10.9cm tall..... dude... not sure where you got your conversion rates from but I think you meant meters, not centimetres 😂

[@gloriamartinez7985]

Roanoke says "10.97 meters" if you say it as well it sounds like he says that but he doesnt i almost thought that as well but its not.

[@thendarkendwolf8796]

[@alexsoto5403]

I always learn something new when I watch these videos of yours! I didn't really stop to look at the baby corpsers to notice they only have four legs. I love it!

BUT ALL THOSE LEGS

[@elitefirewolf2703]

Roanoke Gaming I try to imagine that it's more like a hand and those are its fingers XD

[@Starfire_Storm]

The Corpser is just 10.9 cm tall? Damn, they're actually quite tiny, even my phone is bigger than that.

[@jordanmcdonald5978]

Starfire Storm He said 10.97 meters actually.

[@Starfire_Storm]

Oh yeah... It really sounded like 10.9 centimeters

[@diamondsandgold1993]

Baird was a lieutenant in Gears of War Judgement. Then he was deranked for disobaying orders. To be an officer like Baird was. You'd have to complete a 4 year college degree. So yes, Baird is going to be smarter than most other Gears

[@nathanbayer3776]

Aaaaa I see what you did there. That's a quote from Dom in Gears of War 3 right before you fight the Corpser boss fight.

[@RoanokeGaming]

;)

[@russell9153]

Great video my dude. Just imagine having a corpser as a mount, riding valiantly over the corpses of your enemies towards the gates of Valhalla. Speaking about Gears of war, what are your thoughts on the new swarm?

[@RoanokeGaming]

Russell oh god too many legs 😂 I could ride a Brumak however! The new swarm is interesting. I get their "reborn"look and it is cool but they remind me a little of new borns lol which is to be expected in conjunction with their feral states but nonetheless, it's interesting they look like that rather than their original style. Also, why did they crstalize and change? I can't wait for gears to answer these questions

[@russell9153]

"Too many legs" I guess a video on Serapedes is out of the question. I can't wait for the next installment either suspense is killing me also.😆I need to know more, I gotta get my lore fix.

[@RoanokeGaming]

Russell hey man, I might be able to suffer through 🤣 the next one coming out is going over Raam! And why, let's be real, he's better than Skorge tbh, I'm glad you like them!

[@russell9153]

Oh shit sweet! Raam was the only boss in gears of war who legit gave me conniptions👍. That boss fight on the hardest difficulty was mental, Skorge was pretty much a QTE 👎 with tickers doing all the work I still like him but I wholeheartedly agree Raam was the better locust. Looking forward to it. :D

[@LOLAP95]

Roanoke Gaming no. A true gears fan would NOT say that

[@xcrack6364]

Glad you do all these lore videos. I’ve read the books and comics and to be honest, under the what seems simple story of the game series, it’s actually a pretty fascinating world created that really mirrors a lot of societies today.

[@Chad_salad]

Big spiders, psh. Little ones? 1 bit me and part of my thigh all the way to the bone rotted & died. Still never healed. Why do they need venom that dang strong?!

[@RoanokeGaming]

WTF dude thats a brown recluse! Like, you are lucky you still have your limb tbh

[@ossewa3939]

i thought the music used at the 0:07 sounded familiar turns out its rule the world from crackdown a song i havent heard in years

[@marceletta]

When I got to 2:20, I smashed a spider. So I guess that's what is under my feet.

[@RoanokeGaming]

ayyyeeee

[@feralprocessor9853]

They look like a hand when they're shielding themselves

[@jaccostello8382]

[@CerotheDemon]

When I was younger the corpser was one of my favorite creatures in gears

[@RimeyCH]

Corpsers look like giant hands to me.

[@gabrielhenson5751]

omg the corpser looks like when a trap door spider has its legs stcking out of its burrow.

[@AnimeShinigami13]

I used to be afraid of spiders until I started gardening and then I just gave them a respectful distance

[@anghbalahr2971]

They stand 36 feet tall or roughly 10,4 centimeters.....what?

[@MapleTreeGamingYT]

Given how things are I would like to see you remake this video showing us everything Starting with the feet erh claws

[@camh4659]

bing watching all of your lore videos like it’s netflix lmao

[@thedrifter5531]

yeah those are claws its got a bottom half with legs on it i think the front ones are big to be used as a natural weapon while the back ones are used for stability

[@nathanbayer3776]

Roanoke Gaming Would you take a Corpser as a pet? I would

[@RoanokeGaming]

absolutely *NOT* too many legs, creeps me out

[@fadedshade8927]

Nathan Bayer just turn up to school riding a giant corpser and all the other kids don't even know what it is or what to say lol

[@samuelc.sthecapybara6618]

[@karlkat9042]

[@RoanokeGaming]

Agreed!

[@scowler92]

He's just fuckin' tired. By the third game he's probably in a lot of pain, as evidenced by him popping his lumbar if you sit idle. COG-issue Osmium armor is probably heavy and uncomfortable (Full set of old US/NATO trauma plates weighs about 70lbs for reference).

[@alachinopart2797]

corpsers are like quad arachnids but they probably have ,more than 32 legs

[@ETn4606]

SPIDERS that's all I have to say F*****g SPIDERS

[@Servellion]

How about something on the Leviathans. I thought the Gears hit on a pretty good idea to turn to a mobile sea base to avoid both Locust and the Lambent....then GoW3 showed us the oceans are just as terrifying.

[@fadedshade8927]

Master Asia the leviathan ib the second game I found hsrder but the lambent one in the third game made me shit myself

[@t3arki113r]

I think of the Corpsers as more of a mutated centipede with strong front legs. Don’t know why, never thought of it as a spider.

[@jmsgridiron5628]

4:10 had to rewind it cause I thought you said "Omnivorous"

[@JosephBallin320]

Imagine a spider, now make it 100x bigger, give it 10 more legs, increase leg speed, give it the ability to dig tunnels, and give it bulletproof legs, you have yourself some fucking nightmare fuel called the corpser

[@RoanokeGaming]

The corpser is the epitome of nightmare fuel, 0/10 would not want on Earth

They never really went away. They always served the Swarm. The Sires were the Swarm's first attempts at repurposing humans into viable servants.
