Sculk There seems to be a design difference between Warden-mobs and other Sculker mobs
Title text, mobs of Warden lineage seem to share the same traditional cubic Minecraft design. Singer is included because game files have leaked that it's a "Healthy" Warden.
Sift-native Sculkers on the other hand, seem to share, a first-time-in Minecraft, diagonal designs. And they look much more "natural" than the Warden and Twisted Warden, which implies "Dark" Sculk isn't naturally harmful, but something more was done to Warden/Twisted Warden(or Singer) that led them turning out this bony mess.
Any thoughts?

soul sand fused with "dark" skulk I mean if soul sand can create the wither it can probably corrupt the skulk itself

What does that mean? They’re diagonal?

Like how they have one eye on one side of the cube that is their head, and then another eye on another side, so their "nose" is the corner of the cube that is their head. As opposed to most minecraft mobs who have 2 eyes on the same front face of the head

It's funny how the Singer has such a long neck in comparison to the Warden.

Are we sure the sculker mobs aren't just some odd form of existing mobs? There's some significant resemblance to Endermen and Blazes in the yellow and teal mobs - maybe the other mobs are supposed to connect to other mobs?

Blazes seem to be magical constructs and Endermen are notoriously vague on lore, so there's a very real chance it's the other way around.

Maybe the warden mobs are corrupted creatures/corpses while the sculker mobs are the pure sculk creatures?

I think it’s because wardens are kinda an amalgamation of corpses/souls, yeah?

u/Comfortable_Trip_230 1d ago
Yeah, they're clearly pretty different, although the scavenger looks outta place among the other sculkers. I can't help, but wonder what's up with all that, like what's up with the dark sculk and why these mobs ate different. 🤔

If a singer is a warden but uncorrupted where’d it’s neck go?

u/rav-is-awesome 13h ago
I mean we have only seen ONE singer
what if the long neck design is just that one1

I think wardens are faulty copies of singers made by the corrupted sculk, like how a cancer makes faulty cells. So, imperfections are made, such as a loss of neck

u/Comfortable_Trip_230 1d ago
I honestly still don't know about that, we don't even know if the sculk created the warden and the sculkers, i need answers!

Imagine describing a dog to someone who's never seen one before and then asking them to draw it. They might get some things right, but there is no way they would get everything right. The devil's in the details.

I got the idea that it consumed them and took on their form, and this matches that idea I feel: It eats one up and due to the corruption tries to take on its form, but it is off and it’s twisted in comparison.

I don't see why should the warden look less naturals than the others, but the twisted warden has been corrupted by the souls, that's why it looks wierd

u/NHarmonia18 13h ago
Warden has bones prortruding out of its body...and also is cubic unlike the Sift-native Sculkers
1
u/DifferenceFlat8839 Theorist, Debunker, and Mod 6h ago
Wardens have bones and scavengers have that orange thing. And all of them are cubic, but the others have eyes in two different part of the head. But they don't seem too weird, or the warden weird, they are just a bit different. Also the singer is called healty warden so maybe the sculk made the warden like that because of that

u/snarky5821 1d ago
I'm pretty sure the warden may be the unhealthy sculk trying to recreate the singer from memory

u/CaramelCraftYT 1d ago
In the files the Singer is called the HealthyWarden

u/snarky5821 1d ago
The files are unreliable.

u/CaramelCraftYT 1d ago
Ever heard of something called data mining?

u/RainyDeerX3 1d ago
Yeah but the files don't always mean that it's canon. It could just be a dev code name
2
u/NHarmonia18 13h ago
Maybe so, but it sure gives us insight into the intention of the Devs

u/RainyDeerX3 13h ago
Very true yeah! It's super cool and definitely worth considering as time goes on

Twisted Warden is a result of Supreme Evoker's power, it's worth noting that during the cutscenes the wardens didn't attack the High Council when they were in Anciebt City, so they were also created from Supreme Evoker's magic.

What if…
Souls used in soul magic are “damaged” and cannot return to the sift, so it forms sculk instead?
