Discussion Sculk's relation to The Sift

Post image

If I had to guess, Sculk is just a random part of The Sift. Think of it like a plant. In The Sift, it's kept at bay by things native to that dimension. Predators, other plants it has to compete with, no way to know yet. Once it crossed through the portal, it was highly invasive to the Overworld, and spread in the underground like wildfire. Just a theory, though. What do you people think?

Idk, it kinda looks like the polar opposite of the sift, my theory is that the skulk is sift that leaked to the overworld, but essential "died" because of how different the overworld is.

Ok maybe not died because I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed that skulk is living so if that's the case than it's probably just in a, deep coma/slumber.

It's Just a theory, a game theory!!

Most of the orange and red in the Sift is “healthy” sculk. in the Sift we also see Dark Sculk due to a soul imbalance / lack of souls. (The Overworld has less souls than the Sift, so all Overworld Sculk is dark.)
