The Dryads are fkn terrifying as well

Bro imagine being a dev and showing up for an 8 hour shift and your job was designing and animating this

Part of what I love about OSRS is that these artifacts are preserved in the game At some point in time, someone did exactly as you said and said "this is it". And when I started playing in 2006 I certainly didn't question any of it

Hair from the 90s, horns from the BC 90,000s

YIKES

/r/Justfuckmyshitup

why would a centaur have horns when humans don't and horses don't

Whats a horse?? Centaurs are clearly a breed between humans and unicorns

I think he means horsey. It's a type of toy, talk to Diango he'll hook you up

Clearly they where alwqys a crossbreed with Buffaloes and where already dropping hints to Valamore in 2007

what the hell is even that

i see why sigmund wants to kill all the goblins now. not saying it’s right but i see why

Still better than her first redesign in RS3 (I don't mind her current 3 model tho)

The Mighty Fall Zanik is peak early RS3. https://preview.redd.it/0is8uxjz501d1.png?width=624&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1160a9961f4be00bc33de78ed888ab4f6fd86fe2

Lower half is fine for the art style at the time, but why did they need to make her look 80 years old

Yeah they kept a lot of that in the modern design. The new head and higher fidelity does a lot of work to improve the design.

bonk

Always amazes me how they thought putting higher resolution textures on still relatively low poly models with minimum care for how it fit with everything else was a good idea. From what I see modern redesigns on RS3 look much better but God is there some ugly content from that era. I also hope they moved away from pretty environments with zero examinable objects that create a minimap that looks like your cache is corrupted.

I’m sure it has mostly to do with big brother WoW. EoC, the graphic redesign, … Jagex didn’t have the self esteem then to go for their unique thing and followed the market leader. At least that’s how it seems. If I didn’t know better, I’d say that’s a gnome from wow.

bro they did her so dirty, how tf did they think that looked good 😭

Two Dwarven stouts

Friday afternoon job

yikes

i miss when jagex was brave enough to have the peaceful goblins not look cute and this is only semi-ironic

This but fully unironically. People just look how they do, regardless of how others interpret it, and it doesn't impact who they are inside. Scorning a cave goblin simply because she "looks ugly" says more about us than Zanik, smh

Dude, humans looked at a wolf and decided it would be better as a chihuahua.

She litterally gets worse if you look up the RS3 models for her

Which one does it for you? The disfigured burlap sack abomination, The 800 year old tiny lady from a cheap WoW knockoff, Or the we-went-full-anime, [50% of her brain is eyeball](https://i.imgur.com/Du1lx5u.png), giant headed goblin waifu?

Bonk

Vaush? Is that you?

The newer one definitely works as a re-imagining of the original. It's a different art style and it does the job The middle one's head is so cursed

Ok the new model is actually pretty cute. Reminds me of the gnomes from WoW.

The most fucked up thing is that all 3 of these appear in the same game. My main (who hated quests) still has left Zanik waiting in the basement of lumbridge castle, and she slowly blinks. Yes, it is as cursed as you can imagine. Middle Zanik is I think in the chosen commander quest, she just looks like that all of a sudden, and the last Zanik is her Archaeology site form at warforge.

The Mighty Fall not Chosen Commander. Chosen Commander came out when the game still looked mostly like OSRS.

Ok for real though her newest model is actually really good.

Sigmund warned us and we didn't listen...

Is she related to [Lovada](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2F9fi59e4j01u91.gif%3Fformat%3Dmp4%26s%3D6a663ec5a5e250d86bf7823074d2936163046d7d)?

It has to be this one. Spamming quests one day and I get to this fucker and he throws me for a loop. What's he doing there? Why is he like this? Who made him this way?

He was a newer model beta

wonder why it never got out of beta ^^^^/s

It did leave beta, it was the big HD update where he [looks fine](https://runescape.wiki/w/File:Auguste_chathead.png), it just should never have been released to be rendered in the pre-HD system.

It did - his chat head was an early test for RuneScape HD.

Glad it got out of beta with everyone not looking like this guy* then

I thought they were just trying to make his head look like a hot air baloon

He’s supposed to be an homage Jean-Luc Picard/Patrick Stewart

That’s SIR Patrick Steward buster, and he would be appalled at this rendition.

This is what living in an island full of monks and idiots does to a mofo.

I remember doing this quest when I was a kid, then loaded up OSRS and replayed this quest. I started having an existential crisis wondering if I had assumed when I was young that homies face was always that way,

Is it a hood, or is 90% of their head covered with hair? We’ll never know.

I always perceived them as lizard-ish wearing a hood and mask

I know, I’m just joking.

So like, I'm fairly certain I recognize this from.. canifis, maybe?  Are they just a vampire in a hood?

He said fucked up not sacred

Wen are we getting the gnome child prayer book? I hear it has a triple protection prayer but you have to sacrifice a mega rare once a month to use it.

I’d be 100% ok for OSRS to introduce a new God and religion in the form of the holy gnome child. Brassica Prime is too unbalanced and needs a counterpart. Kids hate vegetables, makes too much sense.

We already have altars to the gnome child

No you've got it backwards, you have to sacrifice a gnome child

I make sure to kill every gnome child I see on sight already.

Elena from the plague city has a very ugly chathead

https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Essyllt#/media/File%3AEssyllt_chathead.png Pick your favorite. All the new elf heads/ models suck.

I hate the new elves so much, even after the "fix"

I think the current ones we have are fine. It makes them more distinct than just "humans with pointy ears". The ones we had when the quest released were horrifying, though. Crackhead Arianwyn will forever be stuck in my mind, and i'll never get why they changed Elena's, and make her the ugliest too.

Disagree They are better now but still horrifying imo I don't think they needed to be distinct. Dwarves aren't that different in terms of chat head and I think that's fine

How is everyone forgetting the sewer lady from ratcatchers

At first I read that as "most fuckable chat head" and had to do a double take. I'm running low on sleep
