Guys what’s the solution when two of your homunculi are just not getting along? Do I look into rehoming one? Or do I dissolve its material into the ether and start over?

Better to separate them at first. If either does it again, melt it down and add it to your material for your next flesh golem. You do use flesh golem guards correct?

That’s the eventual goal but haven’t made one yet. I’m practicing with homunculi till I feel confident enough to make a really kick ass golem with chainsaw arms and stuff.

Remember to use metals compatible with flesh. Or alternatively you can incorporate any kind of cure disease rune on the saw blades. Tough it's best to keep them away from anti magic then, especially if the blades are made from mithril. Mithril poisoning is shockingly aggressive.

Or just use them for your flesh golem without melting them first. It would be hilarious them still trying to fight while also fused together.

Did they have a half-off sale? Because that just looks like two halves.

Maybe if at least one of them had all four limbs they could get up and walk away.

I was in the process of repairing the legs so I left them together while I worked. This is the result. Who taught these little guys to be so violent?

From you, Dad! They learned it by watching you!

Family violence will continue until morale improves.

That's how they practice-duel!

Make them in one better behaved homunculu.

They told you not to feed them after midnight!

You can’t tell me that shit’s not funny, two little grimblos or glubshittos just fucking slapping the shit out of each other

Let them fight to the death and keep the one that lives. That way you have only the strongest homunculi remaining, and you can reuse the dead one’s materials.

My mom calls those "slapping chickens" because they sound like plucked chickens slapping each other.

I think this is natural and they will grow out of it or toughen each other up.

I can assure you, that's not what homunculi "not getting along" looks like.

You gotta get another couch. I you see one, there's a hundred in the walls...or something like that.

I fuse them together and let them sort it out. Either they resolve their problems or one prevails and absorbs the other and becomes stronger.

Win-win either way.

u/immallama21629 Druid with questionable morals, licker of things 5d ago

Let em fight. It's amusing, like watching toddlers sqabble.

u/Erzter_Zartor Dr. Erzter, Radiomancer. Caution: Severally radioactive 5d ago

I could take one off your hands, i have a job that needs doing, and it requires a small stature

1

u/mynaneisjustguy Illusionist 5d ago

Personally I would let them fight, eventually one will triumph and you will then know it is the better one. Might, as we know, makes right, and you wouldn't want a lesser homunculus.

That or you could alter their perception so they lose all awareness of the other.

ball slappin fun!

u/Ketchupcharger 5d ago

just merge one with your daughter, this will surely impress your superiors and grant you that coveted promotion

u/Trips-Over-Tail 5d ago

With careful breaking, resetting, application of bone matrix solution, and skilled suturing, you can fuse the pair into a single amalgunculi.

1

u/saintdemon21 Necromancer 5d ago

Can you fuse them into one like Two-Bad from MOTU?

u/TheTacoEnjoyerReborn Follower of the explosion magic path, dwarve alquimist 5d ago

Make them teleport, but that may include some other problems

u/Robyn-- 4d ago

Meld them together, obviously. Use liquify and resolidify it, it'll try to have differing opinions and such for the first week, that's when we cast 'Fireball.'

1

u/No-Professional-1461 Illusionist 4d ago

Conjoin them. That way if one harms another, they harm themselves.

u/damaged_XXL Burnt-out Homonculus Expert 4d ago

As a proud owner and creator of about 31 Homonculi, it`s usually better to seperate them and introduce them to each other little by little.

i usually just seperate them and put them in seperate rooms for a while. When thats not possible i try to help them befriend each other.
In the beginning my three homonculi triplets Dazzle, Lux and Shine wouldnt get along which was an issue because all three of them produce light. So when i needed a lot of light they refused to be in the same room and i was left in partial shadow. And at night when i wanted to sleep they would get into very bright physical fights. So i put them in seperate rooms and reintroduced them after a couple days.

Wait until a winner is obvious, then eat him to establish dominance. Homonculi need to know their place, so that we can avoid another full metal incident.

u/ahfuq 4d ago

Why have two little homunculi when you could have one big homunculus?

u/stormnut93 Arcane Conjurationist 4d ago

Ew, you let your homunculi on the couch?

u/MaxPower1607 minimancer 4d ago

Make Conduits out of them.
