Title: our harmony of dissonance beastiary!
Post by: crisis on April 08, 2014, 01:29:53 PM
had this project in mind for a while now and honestly its been long overdue. im sure all of us are aware that 1 of the main things missing from harmony of dissonance are the enemy descriptions we've grown accustomed to. looking at the encyclopedia, its almost as if the programmers just straight up forgot to write a little entry, due to time constraints or whatever. well heres an opportunity to flex your creativity with some monster descriptions of our own

try n use the space alotted thats in each box. keep it short n sweet, ya know? like all the other castlevanias do it; some enemies have simple descripts, like zombies="animated corpse brought to life by the castle's magic." while others have more detailed descripts with a lil bit of mythos thrown in with perhaps a lil bit of humor, like devil="ancient deity from ancient Babylonia, loves classical music" or something like that. get the idea?

i prefer you save each image & edit your personal description into it, so it looks "official" & upload it here for all to see, but thats just a suggestion, u can just make a post & write a descript signifying which enemy it belongs to (easier this way). looking forward 2 see what u guys come up with!

Sorry crisis, doing puny descriptions is simply irresistible.

I just beat HoD the other day and found the lack of descriptions odd. Good idea, I'll be watching this topic like a hawk.

That'ssss... Not true...
Maxim was possessed by the manifestation of Dracula's remains, Dracula Wraith, who is not Dracula himself. He's more like Dracula's corruption given embodiment.

Eh...not quite. The Dracula Wraith came about because of Maxim himself. Maxim's negative side and inner-most desires, coupled with the power of Dracula's remains gave rise to a separate entity. This entity at the end of the game eventually possess' Dracula's remains and brings about the Dracula Wraith. While it looks and fights like Dracula, it is not the true Count himself. If this is what you meant then oops on my part, lol.

I always thought that the Count just possessed Maxim but I didn't realize there were two Maxims (the good Maxim and a "copy" that shows his negativity towards Juste).

Meh.
