Top 5 Enemies In Dark Souls 3 That Should Have Been In Bloodborne

[@ramen244]

The Monstrosity of Sin always felt like something Aldia would have created.

[@cheefqueef6494]

Sucks that Aldia wasn't in DS3. I guess Miyazaki hated DS2 that much.

[@mida05g]

Would explain why there are so many ogres in aldias keep

[@Warcrafter4]

@@cheefqueef6494 Aldia is in DS3 just the English translation is bad and left out most of the story. Did you know Aldia is responsible for your character even being alive in DS3? Or that Aldritch and the Pontiff are at war with each other? Both are in the japanese original but not the butchered English translation.

[@123-o2r4n]

@@Warcrafter4 can u elaborate on all of that please

[@Warcrafter4]

@@123-o2r4n Aldia is called out in all but name as being the first scholar in the Japanese version. The first scholar convincing the twin princes not to link the first flame cause the ashen one to be awakened. Also soul stream is mistranslated name as the spell real name is soul geyser which is Aldia's signature spell and calling card. Aldrich and Pontiff Sulyvahn are stated to be in a cold war with each other in Japanese. Its why you find the body of Aldrich's second in command Archdeacon McDonnell behind and illusionary wall with 2 Sulyvahn beasts guarding it to keep the assassination a secret. His body is where you turn in human dregs into for Aldrich's faithful. Ps. The Deep is explained in Japanese as well as being stagnant abyss. The deep isn't explained anywhere in the English translation.

[@Writh811]

The creatures of DS3 really drive home the notion that its time to end this world. In DS 1 and 2 there were plenty of monsters but few were as horrifying (not talking in terms of difficulty more in terms of if you turned a corner and saw that thing in real life) as things running around by the time of DS3. The other entries you could accept some of the beasts are just animals or different kinds of people fighting to protect themselves but by DS3 everything is horrid and suffering for it. Like their world got Nuked and these are the cancer ridden, eradiated, survivors. They won't live full lives whether you kill them or not they are just running out the clock until cancer takes them.

[@2shadesofgray752]

Deeply unsettling

[@Vexx2006]

True. Dark Souls III it's cool because it sorta gives this "failed fantasy" vibes to it, like damn, almost everything got defilled beyond recognition and looks mutated, alien, hostile and it's just heartwrenching to look at.

[@a.r.h9919]

An abstract fantasy fallout moribund world that it's forced unnatural extension of the cycle of fire it's begging to die and be reborn again

[@alarixzet]

I always thought that Monstrosities of Sin would be somehow linked to Manus since they look so alike to his giant teethy hand

[@darkwraith9548]

Yeah and there’s also 4 of them. Manus had 4 daughters.

[@BigAssPelican]

Genius

[@grassblock7668]

More than it being linked to just Manus, I believe it is connected to Dark Souls's depiction of want. The head being replaced with a gaint hand, the teeth upon said hands and the holes in the three of them all heavily symbolize an unsatiable lust, the creature itself being quite chubby also further connects it with that (no im not fatphobic, it's not my fault this sort of symbolism has been around for a long while, and obviously Miyazaki didn't make this design to demonize and trash on bigger people). It is called the "Monstrosity of Sin" specifically the sins of gluttony and lust. You are right though that the teeth also link it to Manus and his obsession for reclaiming (again, an umbearable need to get something, though in his case it's not at all ill-hearted) the pendant he'd lost. The whole concept of want also connects this thing to one of Manus' fragments, Nashandra.

[@Micolashcage1]

the deep accursed definitely could have been a defiled beast variant in bloodborne, even looks like messengers are coming out of it. pontiff's beast too

[@nahrikkon]

those do be skeletons

[@MasoTrumoi]

​@@nahrikkonyeah, and the Messengers look like skeletons

[@justsomeone883]

​@@MasoTrumoi I know I'm a bit late but The messengers more closely resemble deformed fetuses,not tiny skeletons

[@Do0mSl4yer95]

It looks like a Bloodborne enemy in general

[@conspiracypanda1200]

It _would_ have been fairly easy to take out the messengers and replace them with skeletons if it was indeed a bloodborne enemy. But I can only imagine it would have been another weird enemy type or early boss in the chalice dungeons.

[@nicholasmena998]

I never realized how similar those sewer centipedes looks to the gaping dragon from ds1 whenever they rear their bodies back to grab or spit poison at you, crazy.

[@HeadsFullOfEyeballs]

The Sewer Centipedes are a fun twist on FromSoft's creature design formula. Instead of a deformed humanoid you get an entirely non-humanoid creature that looks at first glance like it has a human head.

[@MasoTrumoi]

I think they are still deformed humanoid. Their feet end in human hands, the torso is a flattened and boney version of a human one, and the underside mixes the look of insect legs/antenna and a ribcage. I always interpreted them as humans twisted into the form of a centipede

[@szoopzoop]

@@MasoTrumoi 3 finger

[@glorgozorg]

it is a deformed humanoid, just deformed beyond recognition

[@darkwraith9548]

Monstrosities of Sin are by far the creepiest mini bosses of the series

[@QuokkaCore]

Honestly the Ghrus as a whole gave me major Bloodborne vibes, especially the Elder Ghru, I mean come on they’re practically Cleric Beasts with magic.

[@Suveramort]

yeah!

[@wolfgangbuchner5113]

Dark Souls 3 is basically Armageddon. After thousands of cycles of rekindling, it's like a world on hospice care that gets resuscitated every time it tries to die. So the absolute dregs from that world are like the lowest possible form of life in the most twisted and wretched form.

[@SleepyMatt-zzz]

Given how close Bloodborne and DarkSouls 3 were during development periods, it wouldn't surprise me if there was a lot of spill over. It sets a weird mood, because many of these enemies aren't even elaborated on.

[@justsomeone883]

Even on my first playthrough I could clearly see that they reused a ton of ideas from Bloodborne for ds3

[@colossaltitan3546]

I honestly think some of these were unused assets Miyazaki never got to put in bloodborne for one reason or another, and when DS3 came out he was just like "fuck it, put all these in here"

@@justsomeone883 It’s less reused and more so since both were developed side by side. They take inspiration from the same sources and Miyazaki said this too. 225000 SULYVAHN'S BEAST / Thindarosu Sulyvahn’s Beast internal name is a reference to Hound of Tindalos a Lovecraft creature. You also have Abyss Watchers and “Brotherhood of the Wolf” film. Couldn’t be more obvious with that one.

[@justsomeone883]

@@waltersullivan2727 Oh,that's good to know,thanks. I always thought that Sulyvhan's beasts were reused "Watchdogs of the Old Ones" from Bloodborne and that the Abyss Watcher's second phase was heavily inspired by Lady Maria.

[@Archontasil]

The animators did a great job animating those limbs,especially that sewer centipede Meanwhile Bethesda won't give their dragon 6 limbs because animating them would be too hard

[@samueltitone5683]

I moreso blame the asinine trend in modern fantasy of turning all dragons into wyverns because “they would need a six legged common ancestor.” Because Fire breathing flying lizards are the pinnacle of biological realism I guess.

[@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem]

I drew a 6-legged dragon with four wings, two heads, and a bunch of small human arms in between the legs. It was inspired by the sewer centipede, kindred of rot, and ancient dragons (last two from ER). I think it looks pretty cool, but the point is more that doing something other than "generic fantasy (insert whatever)" can look really cool just because it's unique.

[@Umbra_Ursus]

You realize comparing Fromsoft and Bethesda is unfair, right? Fromsoft takes care to make a beautifully seasoned steak, Bethesda can't be bothered to finish cooking the roadkill they've been serving since 2011.

Dark souls 3 really turned up the dark fantasy aspect.

[@QuestionableObject]

Something about Dark Souls 3 and an obsession with creepy crawlies. Makes me think of how bugs gather around rotting and decaying things, plants, animals, what have you. Maybe that's why there's so many bugs.

[@pizza-for-mountains]

well, the entire world is rotting and decaying, so it makes a lot of sense. even the painting of ariandel is rotting, but in a more literal way

[@virgil3836]

Honestly a lot of Dark Souls 3 feels like Miyazaki still had a bunch of Bloodborne ideas left over and didn't want to leave them unused. And I'm not complaining

[@Skobeloff...]

Honestly, a lot of people seem to believe that one person is responsible for everything in these games.

[@JoseViktor4099]

Btw the sewer centipede, I always though that its has a face and was covered in hair, but now that I take closer look... 7:07 Seems it has its head cut off side to side, showing whats under the face. *Dear god...*

[@KosOrSomeSayKosmo]

Oh God, you're right!

[@imannam]

I always thought it had many human arms and legs but now I think it's just a literal bug. maybe it uses its former body or its host's body as a lure when it's floating belly down on the water, unwitting people go to check on what looks like a dead body and bam! a full meal for the centipede

[@matiasluukkanen7718]

I always thought it is just a creature that has discovered a niche in mimicking drowned corpses, (and females in particular) luring people closer. In other words, nothing has been cut or added, it is just the way it is.

[@JoseViktor4099]

@@matiasluukkanen7718 Apparently these creatures were humans before, corrupted rather by the Profane Flame or Sulyvanh, mutating so bad that they transformed in the way they are. My theory is that they mutated so badly that their face, well, fell off.

Lycanthrope, Grave Warden, Pilgrim Butterfly, Irithyll Beast Hound, and Elder Ghru are also kinda Bloodborne-esque.

[@jaredbowman7764]

The wretch is the saddest enemy in the game. It looks like a horrible failed attempt to become a dragon. I like to think that they may have been hopeful to break out of the linking cycle but failed and were locked away to hulide their shameful appearance as sickly half dragonoid abominations.

[@simonealcazar816]

You’re not crazy. They are literally just the DS2 ogres, they even have the butt sitting attack they do. It’s straight just a messed up DS2 enemy which is fitting especially since you find a DS2 npc in Profane Capital as well.

“Cursed the ground where dead thoughts live new and oddly-bodied, and evil the mind that is held by no head. Wisely did Ibn Schacabao say, that happy is the tomb where no wizard hath lain and happy the town at night whose wizards are all ashes. For it is of old rumor that the soul of the devil-brought hastes not from his charnel city, but fats and instructs the very worm that gnaws; till out of corruption, horrid life springs, and the dull scavengers of earth wax crafty to vex it and swell monstrous to plague it. Great holes secretly are digged where earth’s pores ought to suffice, and things have learnt to walk that ought to crawl.”

[@jacopoarmini7889]

the only issue I have with these things is that, for how cool they are, there is no explanation for their existence. Monsters in dark souls are usually either fauna, experiments or the byproduct of some kind of corruption. I think these monsters are the last case, although I'm not sure of the source of that corruption.

[@ieatmice751]

The maggot creatures are obvious, just decaying hollows full of parasitic maggots eating their dead flesh The monstrosity of sin were women transformed by the profaned flame The deep accursed were probably transfigured by exposure to the deep or cursed by Sulyvan seeing as we find them in cathedral and anor Londo(and they drop aldritch’s rings) The sewer centipedes do appear to be natural(if not horrifying) fauna that pretends to be drowned human women to hunt prey. Either that or they’re another one of Sulyvan’s twisted transfigurations of his subjects And the wretches are the bastard offspring of an attempt to create new artificial dragons seeing as far as anyone knows they’re all extinct. The wyverns in lothric are reanimated by pus of man and only a select few know of Archdragon Peak and Midir’s existences

[@Arkeon77022]

Honestly, designs like these make me feel disappointed that Elden Ring had so many repeat bosses. I would have loved to have seen past mobs from across all the games implemented in a way to diversify the cast, and to show how far the entire souls series has come.

An honourable mention would be the enemies from the Ashes of Ariandel enemy "giant fly". They have no in-game lore, but they are the only enemy in the game that made my skin crawl. The way they hover to you, their warped body and face that implies of them being humans once, and the death sound they make sounds eerily resemble of children. Their lake of rot being right below Friede, and finding Vilhelm's corpse there was enough reason to set the world afire.

Some of Dark Souls 3 designs look like scrapped Bloodborne designs. Honestly I don't like it, sometimes I feel that visually Dark Souls 3 has more in common with Bloodborne than with Dark Souls 1. Monstrosity of sin is kinda okay, because it has designs inspired with both Manus and DS2 ogres. Ghrus are Bloodbornesque, but they also have roots in Oolacile people and Manus. But Deep Accursed is too much. I'm almost 100% convinced it's just cut BB mob and it wasn't designed specifically for DS, they just pushed it and hoped it will fit into the rest of the game. It doesn't.

[@Omnywrench]

I can see the Monstrosity of Sin in Elden Ring as well. Seems like a natural evolution of the Fingercreepers or something like that.

While the grub monsters are certainly gross (and Bloodborne's setting can be pretty gross at times), there isn't really a theme of worms/grubs/leeches or reanimated undead. The rest of the monsters on the list would've easily fit into Bloodborne's setting--especially Monstrosity of Sin and Deep Accursed.

For example: Wormface, Wraith Caller, Revenant, Grafted Scion, Kindred of Rot, Monstrous Crow and Dog, Fingercreeper and the most disturbing similar to existing bloodborne enemy Cemetery Shade. They all feel like bloodborne fit to me. I hope FromSoft will create a game that utilizes all those enemies in a single game at some point. I know lots of them are reused reskin in newer entries but still it is awesome how they can create the horror looking creatures. Ah and I would love to see the manequine spider from Silen Hill movie being utilized in bloodborne where German created the dolls. That is one scary monstrosity right there.

#5 are experiments where Pontiff Sulyvahn attempted to perfect turning humans into dragons, akin to Seath the Scaleless' work. #3 and #4 are both products of the Deep, a festering water somewhere within the world that is slowly rising to take over the land. #2 has some pretty heavily speculation about what created them, though they may be related to Manus of the Abyss and the Dark Soul itself. #1 is just maggots creating coalesced forms in some hollows, though because of their location they are probably also from the Deep.

[@notamanstudios4408]

humans in dark souls are cursed to be immortal and will eventually turn hollow and become what is essentially a zombie the corpse grubs feed on the insides of the undead and control the already mindless husks that are hollows. (you'll have to speculate on why they look semi-humanoid) the monstrosities of sin have an eyeball and hand motif similar to a boss from ds1 named Manus. it's possible they're descendants of him. the deep accursed barely has any lore past its name but the name gives us some points to guess. the "deep" part of the name is something vaguely brought up in specifically dark souls 3 having to do with aldritch whose "body" resided in the giant tomb inside the cathedral of the deep guarded by the deacons of the deep. it's possible they're humans that were cursed by the deacons or by Aldrich when he was resurrected as guardian beasts the sewer centipedes were most likely experiments done by pontiff sullyvahn the wretches are failed experiments by oceiros to recreate dragons as they've (mostly) all been killed after seath the scaleless sold them out to gwyn in exchange for knowledge and his own immortality. they were kept alive as laughingstock. and that's all of them o) you should try doing a lore playthrough it's a fascinating world

[@happymradrian]

Fromsoft got told to make another Dark Souls so they just took left over ideas from Bloodborne and mashed it into another poison swamp filled "the flame is dying again" story.
