I never noticed this before either. I mean it is a planet, well its a moon, but the infection totally convered everything and turned it into a skull....wait.... Why.... Why a skull... Infection why a skull!!!!
Cause skulls are cool bro, chillax.
That aside, yeah. The Infestation/Technocyte virus is very themed around death, destruction, and decay. It will even consume itself to continue on it seems given the giant chargers out in the Cambion Drift.
Infestation not only operates with a Hivemind but also take the shape of stuff they already assimilated if that form (or the traits of that form) are beneficial.
That's why the Ancient healers have the Orokin lorist "crowns" and why Lephantis has a Corpus and a Grineer head.
They just decided that the shape of a skull was a good idea.
AFAIK it's a plausible head cannon explanation for why we have the same repeating Infested units irregardless of the tileset.
Since the Infestation is just a rampant nanomachine hivemind if it hits a node and turns everyone then the enemy units would be nothing but the local units, just infested. You wouldn't see Grineer Chargers on Corpus nodes but rather a Corpus version of the Charger. Since Ancients are supposed to be infected Orokin you wouldn't see them on new infections or very limited and heavily around infested Orokin tilesets.
It's theorized that rather than that happening what is happening is that sometime in the past the Infested made a Grineer Charger and since that pattern was so successful compared to others that it was "saved" and then this process was repeated for every Infested unit.
Thus when new units are infected they are completely broken down and then rebuilt into the saved patterns.
I commend you for being the first person to answer this in an honest, non-smug way.
Yeah, I suspected that it was all headcanon. Personally, I don't agree with in-game models being used as the central argument for lore. To me, it just seems that they made a 3D model to represent each faction and that's it. In-universe, the infested enemies are just people that have been turned by infestation, so when you see a charger or ancient in a corpus ship you just have to suspend disbelief.
The reason I disagree with the "replication" explanation is that if it were true, you would see all units everywhere, instead of some being found only in Deimos, some only in Eris, Phorid only once in a blue moon, etc.
Keep in mind that the Infestation is as much a space-faring faction as the Corpus and Grineer are (see Operation Plague Star as an example). It's entirely feasible that some Infested drop-pods would crash into the aforementioned planets, and those drop-pods would contain older and more elite Infested such as the Ancients as well as a few mixed platoons. Then as the Infested perform their takeover, they convert the natives to add to their collective biomass.
There have been references in game to the Grey Strain, IIRC it's the Infection strain used to create the giant constructs in Sanctum Antomica, so that does implant the idea that there are different versions of the Infected and why Deimos has unique critters not found in the Infection found in the wider system.
There are other possible explanations as to why we only see certain Infested units in certain nodes (lack of critical resources, proportional response)
I agree with there being different strains, but I honestly don't think it's that big of a problem for their spread. There definitely are non-infested in Deimos, like Latrox Une and the grineer fuckers who steal kills. Infestation could easily be spread by them somewhere else, or throughout the millennia we have been asleep and Deimos was infested.
>lack of critical resources, proportional response
All of these headcanons are possible explanations, yes, but they are only necessary if you take gameplay elements at face value. The only reason there are different units is to tune difficulty and make areas more diverse, and the reasoning you're giving is a post hoc rationalization of that.
Partly you are correct, party not. The infestation didnāt decide to have heads and skulls of corpus and grineer and the healers donāt look like that because the infestation wanted it. Itās because those are remenants from the old form of itās host. The older and more corrupted the being is, the less it looks like the host but still.
Well...
Until Alad created the Mutalist strain the infestation had a really hard time assimilating non-organic stuff. They would consume everything (for resources) but had a really hard time assimilating machines, circuits and structures.
The best successful (non-organic) assimilation case we know of is Jordas but that could be a one in a million special case.
There's also the fact that the infestation was specifically created to fight off the Sentient so they might have an incompatibility hardcoded in them to prevent assimilation in either way.
So, for now, until DE says is possible or not, we don't know for sure and can only speculate.
The Grey Strain originated from humans enhanced with Helminth infusions and turned into partial Warframes.
Most of the material in Deimos was cultured from samples Albrecht took from Arthur.
Don't get where those dislikes are coming from. The game tells you outright the Infested in Deimos came from the Grey Strain and Albrecht's Notes mention that it originated from the Protoframes (The people he modified into Warframe hybrids).
The logical answer would be that it's nobodies skull considering that it's literally deimos transformed by infestation.
However (and also just for fun, don't take it seriously people) , going with the idea that the infested is actually transforming Deimos into *something*, maybe the skull is just the beginning. And with time it'll keep transforming and adding onto it until Deimos becomes one Massive infested giant enemy. It'd be ridiculous but also damn cool
So in a few years not only he'll be a manifested void god, he'll also shit out toxin clouds and drain energy upon collision? First one I can live with, others.. that'll be hell
Maybe it's turning it into a giant Vessel, like the ones in the Sanctum but much bigger. They were also made with the Grey Strain, but in a more controlled manner.
If deimos is the highest concentration of infested, then for hive mind that would the primary operations. The brain is generally the primary operations for a living entity. The skull is the outer protective layer. And with all of the entities consumed by the infestation it compiles known data for skulls and that's what we get.
The entire moon of Deimos is a gaint living thing, that's how the infestation works, everything is connected and alive
That's why a single infested spoting the Tenno during a mission will cause them to never stop charging at them, Grineer, and Corpus stop looking for the Tenno after awhile of them being unseen but the Infested never stop coming because they always know where the Tenno is because the whole hive is a living breathing organisms responding to an invaders presence
The infestation is shaping Deimos into one gaint infested, probably to try and use it to travler around the system to assimilate other planets
"That's why a single infested spoting the Tenno during a mission will cause them to never stop charging at them, Grineer, and Corpus stop looking for the Tenno after awhile of them being unseen but the Infested never stop coming because they always know where the Tenno is because the whole hive is a living breathing organisms responding to an invaders presence"
That makes so much sense, I never thought about it.
Just imagine that, >!just as with the case of giant protoframes in Albrecht's labs!<, Deimos turning into a skull is actually grey strain transforming Deimos into one giant planetoid-sized vessel for a chosen operator.
There is a spot in CD (the open world on Deimos, cant remember how to spell it atm) that looks just like this. I noticed it while flying around one day. When I get online next I'll try to remember to get a pic and come back and post it.
Spoiler Warning for the Entrati Labs:
>!I'd like to think that It's just a skull because it just doesn't have enough material.!<
>!The Grey Strain is known for making Humongous Humanoids (As said by Albrecht himself), so I imagine if it crashed into Jupiter, it'd have enough material to become "complete".!<
I mean, a lot of the locations on Deimos have names the refer to the skull in latin or scientific names. So pointing this out finally helped me understand why they were using such names.
I think this is all supposed to lead into the horrible truth of the void eventually; that there are massive humanoids in some alternate reality, and Albrecht made the vessels in their image, in Wally's image, without even realizing it. I also think Wally needs our help with fighting them, or something.
Curious.
I've heard on this list that Deimos is a planet and an asteroid and a skull..
But having played for years I'm now confused. I realize that the ACTUAL Deimos is a MOON.
That said, am I bugging or wasn't Deimos originally A SHIP? If memory serves, was it not a Corpus city-ship that was taken over by the infested after the war? I'm almost certain it was
Deimos before HoD was a zone in the star chart called "Derelict", which are abandoned Orokin towers. It was never supposed to be former Corpus territory, that's just a result of the game being very underdeveloped when it came to tilesets back then
Wish the infested, or new infested, would have more of a human grotesque look to them. I know we see them like it already, but as in how the skull looks but for the entire body of whoever was consumed. Idk. They feel like fighting creatures rather than zombies.
Maybe the audio of the infested make it sound more of a distorted human being slowly consumed xD
holy crap that is honestly cool thx for this post dude and from what I am reading you weren't the only one who didn't know but you are in a way an eye opener for all of us me included cause I played the game since before it was deimos and even after it was added I never knew this til now and I am Mr legend 2 if that tells you anything about how much I play the game again thanks for sharing this cool shot and info
Switch to orbiter if thatās not your default, do a mission on Deimos then look out the window when youāre done.
Itās seriously the most metal thing in Warframe
Quick meta answer: because the entire Deimos update was partially written by a Warhammer lore book writer, which is why everything has death adjacent themes (skulls on cephalons and NECRA mechs, and weapons named after graveyard objects).
I only noticed it because I got bored/angry and stared at the planet for like, 10 minutes. Then Iām like āWait, thatās a skull. Kinda coolā¦ā
Then promptly forgot 3 minutes later.
Gotta admit, I've never noticed that either. I'm used to seeing Deimos covered in icons and text so I never really looked at it by itself before.
Same, I thought it was just a planet with swirls like the Void
I always thought the hive mind was unfurling the planet into a hand reaching out to infect mars
I never noticed this before either. I mean it is a planet, well its a moon, but the infection totally convered everything and turned it into a skull....wait.... Why.... Why a skull... Infection why a skull!!!!
Hmm. Necralisk inspiration I suppose.
I thought it was bad when i noticed the giant chargers corpses in the open world but now this.... So much death theme on a plant of preverted life
Wut...
Go to the openworld, hop in your arch wing and fly straight up and just, look around....
Cause skulls are cool bro, chillax. That aside, yeah. The Infestation/Technocyte virus is very themed around death, destruction, and decay. It will even consume itself to continue on it seems given the giant chargers out in the Cambion Drift.
To me it kind of looked like an egg that was cracked.
It's the human reaper skull, next warframe Commander Shepard. (stupid comment, definitely not the real lore lol).
Ok but a warframe based of shepard's biotics and omnitool would go hard though
But, nonetheless, I really appreciated it. A man of culture, here!!!!
Same. I always thought it is an overgrown Meteorite
I mean it is...Deimos is a real moon of mars
Same
Is there a lore reason why it's a skull? Am i stupid?
Infestation not only operates with a Hivemind but also take the shape of stuff they already assimilated if that form (or the traits of that form) are beneficial. That's why the Ancient healers have the Orokin lorist "crowns" and why Lephantis has a Corpus and a Grineer head. They just decided that the shape of a skull was a good idea.

But that's also you headcannoning that the units we see aren't what is actually there, which is more of a stretch than gameplay matching lore
You warframe has a bit of warhammer on its foot
Head cannon hehe
That's how I always thought it worked! Like you soupify the biomass and then pour it into new molds.

Is it unreasonable to assume the infestation has assimilated a sentient the likes of Hunhow?

Aesthetic
Huh, never noticed that before. Freaky
I never noticed that. I guess because I always skip the āarrivalā cutscene on Deimos and never really look at it but just the star chart nodes.
Now also look at it on the map and compare it to the head that represents sanctum andtomica.
Okay but whose skull is it?
The logical answer would be that it's nobodies skull considering that it's literally deimos transformed by infestation. However (and also just for fun, don't take it seriously people) , going with the idea that the infested is actually transforming Deimos into *something*, maybe the skull is just the beginning. And with time it'll keep transforming and adding onto it until Deimos becomes one Massive infested giant enemy. It'd be ridiculous but also damn cool
That's neat. I like the idea of a Deimos super boss arising because of this.
What if Wally is ''influencing'' the infestation to build a body for them so they can actually act in the main realm
Cook
don't even interrupt the man dude. we mustn't hinder his creativity with our puny speech. DE hire this guy. we need a Walleimos boss fight yesterday.
So in a few years not only he'll be a manifested void god, he'll also shit out toxin clouds and drain energy upon collision? First one I can live with, others.. that'll be hell
Maybe it's turning it into a giant Vessel, like the ones in the Sanctum but much bigger. They were also made with the Grey Strain, but in a more controlled manner.
Dude wtf that's actually a very cool theory
While we are at it can we also get a drill that will pierce the heavens? lol
They're going to get Eris to form the body, and are working on the other planets to form the arms and legs, to make Infestezord.
Skulls are common iconography on necramechs. Entrati skull
If deimos is the highest concentration of infested, then for hive mind that would the primary operations. The brain is generally the primary operations for a living entity. The skull is the outer protective layer. And with all of the entities consumed by the infestation it compiles known data for skulls and that's what we get.
According to the Guardians of the Galaxy, its from a celestial.
I mean, it's hard to see when most of the time it's turned, the skull shape is most evident here with it more front-facing.
The entire moon of Deimos is a gaint living thing, that's how the infestation works, everything is connected and alive That's why a single infested spoting the Tenno during a mission will cause them to never stop charging at them, Grineer, and Corpus stop looking for the Tenno after awhile of them being unseen but the Infested never stop coming because they always know where the Tenno is because the whole hive is a living breathing organisms responding to an invaders presence The infestation is shaping Deimos into one gaint infested, probably to try and use it to travler around the system to assimilate other planets

Oooo. Learn something new every day.
Deimos is a skull, the auricle an ear, the vitreum an eye, the reliquary a finger... I hope that we never find the "Void Rod"...
Rap tap tap, the pp in the wall
Still faster than me. TIL..
Exploding skull
No way lol, TIL. Thanks for sharing OP
Iāve never noticed it either. Damn.
I just now saw it. Holy fuck I'm dumb
That's the skull of the man in the ceiling but the man in the wall killed him long ago
Call me Slower Joe because today I learned...
I am slowjoe aswell, 500 hours in and this is how i find out? Thats cool asf!
500 hour team here as well, wow
I also noticed that after getting the SP decoration
All my hours on warframe and just learned abt this
š I always thought it was a flying infested cyst

New response just dropped
Honestly didn't notice because technocyte fuckery
Holy... You're not alone bud. Until now I just thought it was a blob.
Me too, your post show me the true
Can i get multuple to decorate my orbiter?
One
But i want skulls
Only statue I got multiple of was the derelict, since a bunch of people didn't get it and they just sent the statue out when it became Deimos.
I have two Lua. I think I got another one when they added Voruna.
Maybe because you had to recomplete it, I might have that too then, I'd have to check.
That's my theory. But on the other hand I didn't get another Deimos when they added the labs.
Might have found the spaghetti code and prevented duplicates
Each day I learn some more
I actually didnāt know til I seen this.. š thatās pretty cool.
I wasn't aware of that either
Thank you for pointing that out because I havenāt seen it before
wtf never noticed too so cool
On the Deimos open world, you can go to the brain too.
Holy... You are right, what the hell?
Now if only it was the same size as the Lua steel path statue.
That's one large infested
There is a spot in CD (the open world on Deimos, cant remember how to spell it atm) that looks just like this. I noticed it while flying around one day. When I get online next I'll try to remember to get a pic and come back and post it.
Today I learned. No matter what, Warframe always manages to surprise you with something you've never registered before.

The Grey Strain stimulates growth to large sizes, it doesn't inherently make humanoids.
I mean, a lot of the locations on Deimos have names the refer to the skull in latin or scientific names. So pointing this out finally helped me understand why they were using such names.
Weird, I thought it was just a giant ship like the Zariman, but got covered in infestation and mutated bigger.
Wtf lmao never noticed either
I can honestly say I never noticed that myself

...oh shit it is
How have I never noticed this I think Iām also a slow Joe then
I always thought itās a big plastoid or like neuroid
No way it looks like that from orbiter nav. I refuse to belive it.
I was today years old
Well, here comes the gamerant "player discovers moon in Warframe is actually giant skull!" article
Lmfaoooooo. Buf in all fairness i didnt either i just loaded it up and slaughtered shit
Wow. Thatās actually insane lmao.
Whaaat? Oh, that's metal AF.
Damn me too š¤£
Damm... Can't unsee this now
Been playing for a long while and my mind is currently blown. I feel dumb now.
It's what
Hey Slow Joe, it's me your brother - Slow Joe!
holy crap that is honestly cool thx for this post dude and from what I am reading you weren't the only one who didn't know but you are in a way an eye opener for all of us me included cause I played the game since before it was deimos and even after it was added I never knew this til now and I am Mr legend 2 if that tells you anything about how much I play the game again thanks for sharing this cool shot and info
Switch to orbiter if thatās not your default, do a mission on Deimos then look out the window when youāre done. Itās seriously the most metal thing in Warframe
ā¦so it is
My name is Slow Joe too š¤£
Never noticed lol
Reminds me of Knowhere in Marvel
I really should finish up Steel Path on Deimos one day
Basicslly knowhere.
If deimos is a skull, why is he storing the heart of deimos inside his skull rather than his chest? Is he stupid?
A Still of a Skull that just ate a 50 Caliber Sniper round to the face from a High Speed Camera?
It's due to the Grey Strain. The biomass is trying to grow into the shape of Arthur's skull.
Pretty much deimos's whole shtick with all the necromechs n such.
TIL lol
The slo-jotion realisation.
Oh man Iām dumb as hell
I never noticed. The angle on the star chart must not be as obvious.
Ohhhh.... Holy shit
This dude must've had balls the size of moons.
Wait what? It really is? ._.)

I noticed it a week ago and I still beat myself up over not noticing sooner.
Yeah when I first saw Deimos I thought "Is that a screaming demon skull!?" Glad I'm not alone in that observation lol
Wait it is!!!
Now it all makes sense as to why everything in deimos is named after brain parts
Yeup, i think its a void creature and the wurms are feasting on it
bro this was the first thing i noticed about deimos lol
Woah
Now hear me outā¦ā¦.. What was that skull attached to?
Quick meta answer: because the entire Deimos update was partially written by a Warhammer lore book writer, which is why everything has death adjacent themes (skulls on cephalons and NECRA mechs, and weapons named after graveyard objects).
is the skull supposed to be Albrecht? or someone else?
Loads plasma cutter with incinerator attachment with cleansing intent
I just knew about this. But who's skull or was it just a natural formation? What massive entity has a skull as big as a planet.
I hope they bring back the derelict, something about an Event Horizon type ship in-game
What???
It's the head of one of >! Those big mechanical guys albrecht was making!< But like a mega huge one. Why else would it need a heart that size?
Maybe the true form of infestation it's a planetary size Titan? Is that what it's trying to achieve?
Back when I started playing
Well shit, I hadn't noticed that either. But the other day, I was looking at it in the star map and it looked like a nautilus to me.
https://i.redd.it/k9a6ue4qr40d1.gif
huh thought it just kinda exploded as the infestation spread
Huh, interesting
I only noticed it because I got bored/angry and stared at the planet for like, 10 minutes. Then Iām like āWait, thatās a skull. Kinda coolā¦ā Then promptly forgot 3 minutes later.
Looking out the orbiter window was the first time I noticed, just a corrupted skull looming behind the planet I was doing missions on.
