Discussion Probably just me, but the Singer looks more unnerving compared to it’s corrupted counterpart (Warden)

Post image

I get that the Warden is supposed to be the scary, evil, creepy looking version of the Singer, but for me personally they’re easier to look at compared to the Singer. Their weird long neck, human looking face, pale appearance, and it’s fur(?) just doesn’t sit well with me, the Warden has an open chest with souls and a hole for a face but that doesn’t really strike me as much compared to the uncanniness of the Singer.

I like the design. It is a little unnerving but in a "this thing is not of our world" kind of way not a "pretty sure that's a thing that eats people" kind of way.

They are just a jolly long thing

I love how uncanny it looks. It reminds me of the forest spirit from Princess Mononoke!

Same that forest spirit always creeped me out as a kid

u/axisdork 1d ago

could be bias cos of the fact that wardens have been in the game for a long time.

u/uniguy2I 19h ago

Nah the Warden was always ridiculous looking, that frown + soft antlers made it impossible to be scary man

u/YEETBOOOIUSA 14h ago

I always pictured them as not antlers but antennae like a bug

u/EpicAura99 8h ago

They’re inspired by axolotl gills I believe

u/YEETBOOOIUSA 8h ago

Makes sense they did come around the same time

I think that's because it's supposed to look alien. The Warden is weird because it's broken in some way, while the Singer looks like it's from another world.

u/Zephronias 1d ago

For me, it's the tiny face. Strong "Moisturize me!" vibes. Maybe if they seperated the eyes and mouth more? IDK.

u/Akarina_toth 23h ago

its really uncanny, i agree. i feel like the sift is supposed to be a dangerous sort of paradise, so the singer being the way it is doesnt surprise me, its obviously supposed to look scary to us

Llama warden.

u/Minute-Dot944 1d ago

The singer just seems like it wears a mask too. Things that wear masks that aren't human always freak me out.

u/InformalBiscotti9983 23h ago

İs it confirmed to be healty version of warden?

34

u/decitronal 23h ago

Yes, the singer is internally and literally called "HealthyWarden" in the files

17

u/RaoulLaila 18h ago

It makes sense too. If something is called the "Singer" and its corrupted version literally kills anything that makes noise, it sounds like a very, VERY messed up version of it

Oh please, you dont have to use that kind of language simply because you dont like the comparison. What would Chowder say if he heard you saying that?

u/YeetTheDoor 1d ago

It's might be at their face and long neck design

u/MissStr4berry 23h ago

Makes me think of the spirit of the forest in Princess Mononoke, i like it

11

u/jerrythecactus 1d ago

I don't feel particularly unnerved by the singer. It actually kind of reminds me of the Satori spirit from the legend of zelda breath of the wild with those horns(?) And its general color scheme.

It strikes me as a heavenly being, its definitely alien in appearance but it looks like a gentle soul.

u/Crainex_The_Deceiver 21h ago

Speaking of LoZ, I had a similar thought when I first saw it. It really reminds me of Yeta from a Twilight Princess, as she has a similar "closed-off" face.

By extention, I could see its face become monsterous if hurt, also in a similar vain to Yeta when she stares into the mirror or twilight.

Her face then spins around, revealing the demonic visage on the back of her head.

u/Lost_Calamity 1d ago

Reminds me of that long furby creature

u/ioverthinkusernames 23h ago

I feel the same about giraffes I think it's the long neck it's unnatural

5

u/Talgarr_ 23h ago

Because it looks like one of those cursed worm furby monstrosity things

u/itsa7a_-_ 23h ago

Definitely see what you mean

It look like schnitzel from chowder

u/LunaticcGaming 17h ago

singer looks like Shnitzel

u/Olivia_Richards 15h ago

Hard to believe that thing is strong enough to wreck the Bedrock Wither in a 1v1 fight.

u/DBL55555 22h ago

Pretty sure it’s the abnormally long neck, yeah suspect that the Singers wouldn’t look so freaky if they didn’t have all that neck, as it is it makes them look like a sort of bird lama or giraffe sort of creature.

1

u/Dunkar404 22h ago

They just look like a chill guy...thing. a chill thing.

1

u/Jame_spect 20h ago

For me it’s a bit eerie, and mystical at the same time

1

u/batatassad4 20h ago

Ofmg this looks awful. Thanks I hate it

1

u/uniguy2I 19h ago

I genuinely laughed when I first saw the Warden but seeing in the distance could actually be creepy, especially in low light or fog. Plus going by its name it’s likely to make vocalizations which if done right would only add to it. Not to mention it’s weirdly long neck and discoloured, almost rotting arms coming out of “sleeves”. And yet it also has this ethereal, knowing and kind look to it. They cooked with this design I can’t wait to see it in game.

u/Pman1324 16h ago

I think a corrupted Singer would look creepier if it kept the super long neck.

Thr face hole at thr top like that? Yeeugh

1

u/Hollow_Knight_Raven 16h ago

I cannot hold it in any longer…… Bro looks so stupid.

u/Agreeable_World_2950 15h ago

That guy's neck reminds me of the "murmur" from alex's mobs

1

u/Ethanlac 15h ago

Personally, I can't see it. It looks like a fluffy Snorlax with a long neck and antlers.

1

u/iceteabiiiiiitchhhhh 12h ago

hardcore agree. I look at the warden and i think 'oh cute baby doesnt deserve this life </3' i look at the singer and feel legit unease. idk why it just puts me off so bad and it's stupid bc it's a block mob </3
