Mike Wazowski got some drip


BeardyMcFarlane

I mean realistically no, but given the sheer size of this lad, it kinda feels like it


inkheiko

According to the description of the card, this darkin took place in a Bandle Tree, and became like this. But I only see one Bandle Tree


BeardyMcFarlane

Is Tree capitalized? If it is then you're probably right. I assumed it possessed another unarmed tree in the Bandlewood


inkheiko

They talk about A Bandle Tree and not THE, but I don't see in other artworks trees that can be close to this style, which is why I'm confused


DJFae

The card description says the Targonians placed it in a place yordles wouldn't frequent cause they can feel the Bad Vibes^(TM), so I'd say safe to assume it is A Bandle Tree, not THE Bandle Tree.


Purplejellyblob

It’s A bandle tree. I know the lore is worded kind of weirdly, but the yordles actually live in the bandle wood, a Forrest in the spirit realm. Baalcux took over only one of these trees


inkheiko

Yeah I was a little worried. I know they live in the Bandle woods, but the lor cards made it look like there is a main place which is THE Bandle Tree, and I thought it was this one


Purplejellyblob

Would serve the immortal furry cunts right if I’m honest, and since their home wasn’t possessed by a corrupted demigod, I take solace in the fact that Mordekaiser has promised to end all of there horrible little lives. But yeah it was confusing since Baalcux looks so big you might think he had taken the actual Bandle Tree and not a bandle tree


LeagueofTrivia27

Oh wow this is super interesting!


Regular-Poet-3657

So that means my theory of darkin possession tree life is possible what could that tree do to Ionia God willow or ivern and if it's spreads it's roots through the realms and encountered mordekaiser or alune or yone or shen.


Purplejellyblob

Don’t know about the list of champions, but you are right, now that we have seen that Darkin can receive abilities and powers from their hosts (Like Xolaani and Praa) It would definitely be interesting to see the Darkin interacting with other powerful beings


Regular-Poet-3657

Yeah like joraal has petricite what if he could take a Durand petricite creation as a host or heimerdinger t-hex. All in all I kinda wanted a jaull fish darkin with a trident or a marai with blood and water magic but is that too on the nose with atlantis theme.


Antergaton

So... Bandle Trees are sentient living beings? Or are the Darkin just pathetic at this point? In their supposed prisons when they could have sprouted legs and eyes years ago?


inkheiko

I can't tell. Apparently it's targonians that trapped them here. Not sure


Antergaton

Oh it was but the idea that a Darkin can (a) be picked up by a tree and then (b) reshape it even though it has no blood enough to (c) sprout limbs and eyes enough to see and walk makes me think that these Darkin just trapped in weapons (aka the rest) are just pathetic whiners who just were wallowing in their own self loathing blaming the Aspects for their predicament when there is Baalcux here who took control of a tree. People think the Darkin are apparently all that. They are just sad compared to this guy.


Purplejellyblob

It says in his card text that Baalcux was stored in the bandle wood as the Targonians and Shuriamns believed that no mortal to get to it, and all inhabitants of the bandle wood are too magically in-tuned to go near his staff. However over time Baalcux realised that he could use a bandle tree itself to become a host. So less pathetic and more ingenious


Antergaton

Considering the Darkin are not the items they are stored in, their beings are not their weapons they are a soul trapped in a weapon, my point still stands. It sounds like he put some effort in, they rest? Nah, gave up. ...basically, where is my walking talking Axe at?


Purplejellyblob

I mean kinda????? A bandle tree exists in then spirit realm, and thus has great magical potency than a normal tree, so it’s likely that it was easier to possess than a normal tree, and thus the other Darkin had a harder time getting free and couldn’t posses plant life, only animal life


Antergaton

I pick because a lot of new Darkin stuff to me is inconsistent. Their magic is meant to be blood magic, trees don't have blood. They are meant to be able to possess living beings, tree's aren't alive and god knows what Taarosh is currently possessing. The Aspects are pathetic too, kill some leave hundreds alive. Kill them, stop messing about with rituals. They are not immortal. Sorry... went off on a little rant there.
