Today we ask the age-old question

Okay hi I'm creating this post purely just to prove a point lol
Answer the poll above this thread after reading the following:



Look at this boss, the Blade of Shade



Took a good, long look? Excellent
Now consider that it is an altar boss situated in Kander Forest
Also consider that there are enemies in Kander Forest named "Shade Lurker" which use this exact same player head
Also consider the tribute you needed to gather for the boss altar, regardless of how little it might relate to the actual boss
Okay now with all of those considered:

Assuming no prior knowledge of the boss, and solely based on its appearance,
what does the boss look like/ what do you think it is supposed to be?

(Answer in the poll above)​

Q: What if I already know what it is
A: Then answer in the poll what you originally thought it was/ what it looks like when you first saw it



The gathered data will be of no helpful use whatsoever go wild

(I'm kidding please answer honestly)

 

bark bark arooo woof woof bark aroof grr

 

smash smash smash

 

literally no one has ever asked this question before

 

Spoiler: what da dog doin

 

(I'm kidding please answer honestly)

 

what did he mean by this

 

I dunno, werewolf is what come to my head first.

 

Well what da dog dóin

 

I am currently wondering in this particular moment, what bizarre and uncanny act is the canine or Canis lupus familiaris partaking in

 

I love this boss altar
Double loot + Discoverer gives you a full inventory of the items every kill so you literally farm a bajillion stuff :ssssshhh:
Frantically running between it and Gelibord

 

i always thought it was meant to be a cat but it could also be like a skull or something

 

I assumed mainly because of the boss altar name that the blade of shade was just a sword like in bob’s battle surrounded by a bunch of other swords also like in bob’s battle and you’d have to fend off a bunch of flying swords

 

It's real funny to me that the two CT you asked this question got it right and everyone else got it wrong

 

wrong he asked lex and she said it looked like a wolf...

 

I'm confused, what is it really? I assume not a wolf but could it not be something wearing a wolf mask? My guess from it's line in the wiki is some kind of hunter

 

I’ve always assumed it was a wolf and I’m surprised that might not be the case

 

live skull reaction

 

It's a skull in a hood

 

the idea that this might not be a doggy friend is. certainly an idea of all time. gonna call death of the author here: the blade of shade is in the eyes of myself and the vast majority of the playerbase a werewolf.
