The Most Feared Species in Star Wars| The Galaxy Consuming PARASITE - Mnggal-Mnggal Explained

[@JacktheStripper-tc5pn]

I love the horror elements of Star Wars, it's such a perfect combination that sets it apart from other sci-fi horror

[@raymondwalker3020]

Its because unlike Alien,Dead Space Star Wars is for the family not just adults so horror in it is a bigger deal.

[@jeremiahw1369]

The horrors. Well done, sir. Incredible content for real. You have given me an entirely new appreciation for the stories behind the franchise.

[@TheStupendousWave]

Glad you like them!

[@Lurkai]

In my SW fanfiction I used mnggal-mnggal as a pseudo-antagonist against one of my characters during their early years before they grow into the main antagonist of the latter novel. The disturbing aspect of the short story i felt, is that my character is pretty powerful and in tune with the force at this time (nearing Anakin ROTS level), but just this mere weakened essence of mnggal-mgnnal is enough to challenge him. Mind you in this story, it's not so clear that the essence is exactly mnggal-mnggal, so much that the character senses there's something more to this force-imbued object that was mentally manipulating him(put him basically in a force-matrix/genjutsu for 5 years in his mind, but 5 weeks in real-time). What's I thought felt scary about this is that the object was just laying dormant on that desolate planet for an unknown amount of time, waiting for some another source of power to feed on. Thankfully due to plot armor my character made it out and destroyed that thing :) anyhow, great video Stupendous Wave, yet again another banger in the cosmic horror realm of Star War Legends deep-space lore :)

[@bluntslt8023]

[@Carrie449-xyz]

So, in the latest Thrawn novels, he is always of course hinting at those terrible things out there he needs to protect the Ascendency from by having a strong organised force to combat it in the known regions. We still don’t know what it is, but I guess it isn’t this as they already know about it? Zahn never refers to this, I guess it’s in comic, but it just raises more questions. What could be worse than this??

And here I was thinking of using Abeloth as an overarching BBEG in my Star Wars TTRPG. This would be a much cooler BBEG if I can figure out how to work it in. Maybe make it like The Flesh that Hates SCP as a start or something... Very creepy bio though!

[@tigertank06]

So is this character worse than Abeloth?

[@LithNeo]

@@tigertank06 I mean I think it depends on your definition/view on what is evil/worse. Abeloth, to my understanding, is technically a being of malevolent intent and actively seeks to cause as much harm as possible to the rest of the galaxy. This Mnggal Mnggal sounds more like a force of nature similar to the Gravemind/Brethren Moons where they aren't inherently evil, they are only following their nature to incorporate as much bio mass into itself and spread across the galaxy. It just happens to be that the means the Mnggal goes about doing this is quite abhorrent. I could be/am most likely wrong though as I dont know everything about either entities though, thats just my view on the two.

[@cherrytonshawty9120]

One hell of an Elseworld story would be one where Admiral Thrawn joined the Empire and was in FAVOR of the Death Star. Due to its capacity to destroy an entire planet in one shot, it might actually be able to deal a serious near-fatal blow to Mnggal-Mnggal.

[@KindOldRaven]

Mnggal-Mnggal is one of those galactic horrors that fits in the vein of HP Lovecraft like the Flood from Halo etc, I like it. I also don't think Mnggal-Mngall is evil. It just is.

The Deathstar blowing up the planet might just slowly spread frozen droplets throughout space. They could get stuck to ships and be spread through hyperspace to other planets. It's probably better to just leave well enough alone and avoid the solar system the creature resides in.

[@sekira4516]

problem is the creature is not content with being on it's own little planet and is trying to spread throughout the galaxy. Honestly, give it a few thousand years and it probably will consume most of the galaxy if left unchecked.

Based on Mnggal-Mnggal's appearance as described, I suspect that it may be a nanite-based hivemind. Which would make sense if it is indeed a creation of the celestials and not an extradimensional being as speculated.

[@MotleyNerd]

What if it's both? An extra-dimensional being or consciousness summoned by the celestials, be it intentionally or by accident, and then bound to a physical form of Force-based techno-goop. That's a wild thought.

the Ing and the X-parasite from Metroid, my advice, create a predatory but mortal parasitic being that is designed specifically to hunt mnggal-mnggal. one which the young stage look like a certain hovering jellyfish with teeth, absorbing the very energy which keeps Mnggal-Mnggal alive. Once that parasite is gone, the artificially created one can remain on its planet. just in case.

[@classarank7youtubeherokeyb63]

That requires a species with the scientific capabilities of the Chozo. My suggestion is to abandon life entirely and create some kind of synthetic army to destroy it. Maybe make them out of some kind of liquid metal so that they can do a better job than a droid.

[@venkelos6996]

I'm going to admit confusion. So, WE, as external, well-informed observers, get to know these details of Mnggal-Mnggal, but how well known is it in verse? It's often called the Unknown Regions for a reason, and even "regular" beings that live out there, like the Chiss, are extremely secretive; look hiw long it took for people, and us, to even find out what Thrawn's race was called? If the Empire knew about it, I'm a little surprised the Emperor didn't try to weaponize it, but if the New Republic did, and they eventually possessed ships on a similar footing to Star Destroyers, how close do you need to get to bombard a world from orbit? Decommissioning a ship? Rig it with explosives, ala the Lusankya, and droid-guide it in? Can Mnggal-Mnggal even affect droids? Where I'm going with this us, I guess I can see various peoples not wanting to emulate the Empire, and wholesale destroy a planet; Nam Chorios is the source of the Death Seed Plague, and it hasn't been obliterated, but if I DID visit the Droch homeworld, I'd find orbital defense batteries, with some of the biggest guns in space; even the Empire didn't want that spreading, so why hasn't the MM world been blasted, or even just forcefully quarantined? If important people know about it, why do they do nothing? Why hasn't some crime lord made it their own Great Pit of Karkoon, to be violently rid of troubles? Why hasn't some droid on the run gone into hiding there? Why hasn't the world been wrecked...more do than Mnggal-Mnggal has already done, and can it separately Infect other worlds to such a degree, or would bits of it, so separated from the mass, die in those other worlds, like it's Zombies do?
