Worry not, landlubber, the survivor version is WIP! Please let me know if you enjoy this format for backstory videos, and any feedback you have, as I might apply it on the survivor version! This video is for those of you that do not have access to the PTB or are too lazy to read her bio, so you can listen to my narration while eating, grinding Zombie camos in BO6, procastinating, or sleeping! Let me know if the editing style is something you enjoy. I was unsure if putting the bio snippets was the right choice, or if the music / ambiance was too distracting 🤔 The goal of this video and format is to make something unique for my channel, so its an inbetween a classic youtube lore essay and a brainrot short ADHD reddit narration with gameplay. If you are looking for something more in depth, please wait for Pixel Bush's videos, as he does fantastic jobs at it and I do not want to compete! Or, if you are looking for a summary, I am sure there are plenty from other content creators!
What I find interesting about this chapter is that (going off of their early lives), the survivor and killer, by all means, should be in the opposite spot. Portia had a loving father who raised her with strong moral values and a love for adventure whereas our survivor was raised to worship the entity. I just love that dynamic, it's so interesting
It’s very interesting theme wise as well. Both are stories of loyalty. Portia grew up with a loving loyal father who left an undeniable positive impression on her. She loved him so much, she went on a wild goose chase just to get revenge for him. This isn’t mentioning Snug, who devoted himself to Portia and, in an albeit twisted way, stayed loyal even into hell itself after years of separation. Taurie being a cultist, of course was devoted to the entity but failed to follow one command, a command which would define her entire life. She failed to follow her deity blindly and was punished for not being a loyal follower.
That could be the case, however it's weird how Snug would have survived the boat attack, and how he was already trained and understood The Houndmaster even if it's stated in the lore that she was not able to begin their training! It's a mystery that would need more information to be revealed about them 👀
@@MintSkullTo be fair- The entity could've 'trained' snug for her. I mean, isn't one of the thinga the Entity generally does is give 'dark knowledge' to the people it wants to make use of? I forget the specifics, but, things like the hag learning of her hexes, or the Blight's lore in general. Who's to say that can't extend to animals?The entity putting the knowledge of how to survive the island into Snug's mind?
I agree to. They also said decades passed after snugs disappearance. So I definitely believe the entity kept and manipulated snug then used him to lure her in the fog.
@@MintSkull Oh, I have another thing for why I believe it to actually BE Snug! Simply put... Snug acts like a dog. Contrast with Victor, for example. A character we know canonically died, and the Entity 'brought back' for its killer to use. Victor is just a little gremlin that runs around and jumps on people occasionally. Victor doesn't do childish things, or talk to his sister, or anything. He doesn't 'act' like 'Charlotte's brother'. He 'acts' like 'a gremlin created by the entity to attack survivors'. Then you have Snug. Who... Acts like a dog. I mean, just LOOK at the petting animation. The way his tail wags and how he licks Portia's hand. The way he, simply put, acts like an actual dog, instead of the entity's interpretation of how a dog would be.
That could also be part of it's nature! I took it as something the game needs to do, just like how she appears the same way when you choose her in the lobby
I love the kind of mastermind they make the entity out to be in the lore. Its patient, in control, and it knows all the perfect ways to turn you into the monster it needs you to be
It's also what makes it so scary as a concept! Many otherworldy entities do stuff for no reason. The Entity's plan is deliberate, precise (At least most of the times!)
@@darkron288you can’t seriously be saying the unknowable, Eldritch horror that literally consumes entire universes is a Mary sue. That term really has no meaning anymore.
@@darkron288 uhhh. how ?. Veca despite how much magical potential he has. only held off a eldritch creature for a few minutes. eldritch things by nature are more powerful then anything in existence. there called the old gods for a reason. but unlike the eldritch and outer gods. the entity is smart. it plans. at the end of the day. a mere lich never had a chance against something born from beyond the limits of this world and the next
@darkron288 the entity isn't the main character, it's the driving antagonistic force of the story. Mary Sue esque characters are the protagonist of a story. I would recommend you endeavor to learn more about narrative devices and structures so you can more properly recognize them as opposed to mislableing them and hurting your enjoyment of the story as a side effect.
I think her glowing eye is the way she she's through Snug's eyes when you control him. She holds it to cover it, which may be how she sees through his eyes, similar to Ms.PotatoHead from Toy Story. That could explain the glowing eye
@@Deadman7600. I mean, have you SEEN Sid? Stinky Pete? Lotso, Huggin', Bear? There's totally a universe out there where a Toy Story x DBD crossover exists.
Y'know... I wonder if Molak is going to be a second Pirate killer later on, where he's the more 'traditional' tricorne wearing, cutlass wielding, flintlock connoisseur. That would be pretty cool to have two killers searching for each other, both seeking revenge against each other, but the Entity will never let them meet since the abundance of their hatred is too appetizing to give up. So the Entity just leads them on endless wild goose chases, hunting traces of each other for eternity while slaughtering anyone that they see as in their way. Great video, by the way.
That would be super cool to be fair! I would love to have two killers connected besides Oni and Spirit, where they are sworn enemies! We know Molak was taken by The Entity for sure, and maybe they could make him see all survivors as if they were Portia, just to feed onto his rage! He is also an absolute trash person so it's already fitting for a killer role!
On the otherhand, you can have him as another bad natured survivor just like the new one with this chapter. I can imagine him begrudgingly trying to “recruit” the survivors and cursing them out when they miss skill checks or perform bad plays; maybe his perks would all center around all that
She seems to react to the survivors in her mori that's accurate to her lore, she probably doesn't see the survivor AS Molek, but likely she just sees them as his crew or simply like those other castaways on the Island that she killed, just survivors being in her way.
I love all the implications this leaves *White Eyes confirmation *Snug likely an Entity construct like (allegedly) Victor *Dragon’s Tooth Island map in the future *Molak as a potential pirate survivor / secondary lore killer in the future (Similar to Spirit/Oni)
I hope we do get the Dragons Tooth map, I love pirate themed stuff. Being able to go around a beach, some jungle, and a shipwrecked ship would be peak, maybe some barrels and food scattered around the environment, and some dimly lit abandoned shacks that have food, rum, ect in them
it doesn't even have to be connected to the white eyes theory - portia's eyes aren't even white also she basically goes mad if she doesn't torture and kill people, so by now she's just insane and probably constantly hallucinating
I actually feel so bad for Portia though, first her father was killed by molaks son Tarik which she got revenge on by decapitatiing him but she missed the chance on killing molak and the fact that her dog ain’t real is prob so sad bc she doesn’t even know snug is fake and the chances are the entity could have him hostage or he’s was killed by it But maybe we could get molak as a survivor or a legendary skin and Portia can have voice lines to him and he can have voice lines encountering her in a chase or maybe she can mori him in a different way
Backstory wise, it's similar to Charlotte. The Victor she has, clearly isn't her twin brother, but they are comforted/make due with the Entity's facsimile. 🫂❤️
I couldn't help but notice how Houndmaster's lore is similar to this of the Twins. Both Portia and Charlotte are women who went through hardship at the young age, had to survive in an unfamiliar places, seeking revenge and loosing their companions in progress. So I wouldn't be surprised if Snug will turn out to be an auric cell creation like Victor.
I like how Snug's status is so ambiguous. They disappeared while she was claiming the ship, then reappeared in the realm. For all we know, Snug got taken at that point or was never even on the island with her in the fiirst place and was a hallucination
@rickypedia999 or, depending on how overlaps work, was an auric cell creation from the start and that's why he disappeared, because he can only be present where the entity is present
I don't like.to think Victor is fake. I think he just came back wrong. Because why would the Entity make a fake when she can just bring back the real.one
I liked this new killer from the very beginning, I don't even know why. But now knowing her lore, I started to like her even more and I want to buy her chapter.
Hope you enjoy her! IMO she is an insta-buy day one, not only because I make content, but also because I love using the dog to bite survivors, reminds me so much of games with hard skillshots like Smite!
Also fun fact if you didn't notice it before, Snug's Eyes glow extra bright flaming almost (brighter than normal) when Portia briefly controls him at the end of his first Dash.
In this one, her dad was actually amazing! She lowkey might have the best family out of all characters in the entity's realm! Sadly we do not know about her mother...
Trapper Wraith Hillbilly Bubba (his whole family tbh) Clown Spirit Oni Artist Skull merchant And Houndmaster Does the entity also have daddy issues or something?
I believe Fog Snug isn't real, and the Entity certainly tricked Portia into visualizing many Survivors as Molak or his crewmates. The Entity played the long game with this one and slowly drove her mad.
Portia has tons of unique mori voice lines for specific survivors that imply she sees them as they actually are. AFAIK so far, she has special voice lines for the core four survivors, some of the original survivors that came after them, and even Nicolas Cage. Check out DStrike, they're uploading a bunch of them.
It’d be interesting to see what her original lore was meant to be. I heard from a little bird that the hound master was originally meant to be a run-away slave catcher.
Maybe the theme connection between Portia and Taurie are both lost family members at a young age, both grew up in with experience in Overlap or Bleed (From Taurie's lore). Doomed Course Must be meaning of how both The Houndmaster and Taurie were doomed at the beginning of seeing their families died and grew up with the entity rated manipulating both of their minds at a young age.
P.S I definitely called it! I did thought this through and it was confirmed by the Devs Livestream! I'm sad I didn't get some interaction tho. But I forgot to add how both Portia and Taurie were both gotten interrupted by the entity as they were both about to kill their target.
Age wise, I could see her being 40 years old while Molak was 30 when she killed her dad, making him somewhere around 60-70! Stress does make aging worse, and she was in a lot of stress, so she could be in her 30s too, making Molak even younger
Could Haddie’s overlap diver outfit be from when she investigated the dragons tooth ? In the Description it says she found a shipwreck off shore. Could this ship be the nightsdream?
Oh I am aware, same as how I pronounced merchants as merkants, I am just lazy AF and I don't want to re-record my voice for ages since that is by far the most annoying part of making a video. If the misspronounciation is too severe, I do reset.
I believe they’re going to add Molak as another killer in the future. The Entity took both of them, and so I think they’re going to use him later to give us a more standard type of pirate killer later on. Perhaps with that ocean map they talked about wanting to do before.
My interpretation of the glowing eye is that she is literally in control of the dog, or transfers her soul/life into the dog This probably causes pain (probably in the eye) which is why she covers her eye
That’s what I thought, it’s like the twins, where the entity not only immaculate them but also made a clone of their loved ones made of auric cells then entered into the fog.
Honeslty, i really like the houndmaster and her lore, but am also kinda upset that we finally got a killer from a tropical/island setting, yet their power has nothing to do with the ocean... I do hope tho she gets skins related to that, even better if they could change snugs apperance... Imagining something like a shipwrecked skin, featuring snug as a shark
Honestly i would be lame for it not to be snug and would irrevertably hurt the character not to have the actual dog there, so its easier to assume the entity took snug earlier and kept the doggo to lure portia in
I believe otherwise, it falls perfectly into her story or at least my interpretation of her story. Imo the entity has her completed fooled, she prob thinks all the survivors are molak and snug is prob an addition to that manipulation seeing as she clearly cares for snug it's an easy tool to use on her
Tbh it makes more sense for Snug to be gone - it makes her story more tragic and adds to the Shakespeare connections, her story is very close to Titus Andronicus in terms of serving Moluk his son’s head and the idea that she is still completely alone makes her story even more of a Shakespearean Tragedy, plus it links to what The Entity’s done to its killers before (giving Charlotte a twisted, violent, version of Victor)
@@crabbytylerI think she doesn’t see the survivors as Molak, she has unique voice lines for the original survivors like for an example Claudette: she makes fun of her bottany knowledge. And I think Snug is really the original Snug, the entity has a thing for animals, like Maurice. Snug isn’t altered by any means, just look at Victor, he literally has a plus eye(thats not mentioned in their lore) and dies in the trials and gets resurected multiple times, but Snug never dies. Plus Snug actually acts like a dog, while Victor acts really strange, even for a deformed baby
Even though I don’t play DBD and don’t like the gameplay loop, their lore has been top tier. It’s almost uncanny how good an explanation they can give for a character popping into existence
Can we all love that the dog is named Snug, as in Snuggles? And props to tha animators and illustrators who got the floppy but fearsome look of this breed so well!
Her backstory is pretty good. Also the use of the enemy music from Wind Waker when talking about the pirate attack was quite fitting considering the setting of that game.
@@MintSkull well, they are both merchants they both have the same skin color they both look kinda bossy and both their story's have something to do with their father
And if you’re trying to ask well, how did snug end up in the into the trials? Simple he didn’t actually disappear. He was sent to the trials. By the entint
i’m like 89% sure the orange eyes resemble the internal connection the two share (given to them by the entity) which is the reason why she is able to sic snug so easily, go through vaults. not to mention how the visuals like the path snug will take is orange. makes sense for twins too
At first I started really liking this character due to her theme music. Then I was captured by her amazing voice acting. And **now** I'm absolutely in love with her lore, too. Gosh, Behavior really hit the jackpot for me with the Houndmaster (also not to mention that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE PIRATES). At first the Unknown became my absolutely favorite character in Dead by Daylight, and now I feel Portia is becoming one, as well
Getting to actually watch the power in game I feel confident to say she doesn’t seem obnoxious. You need to be careful where ur at thou but match like other killers you have to be aware. I’m excited to see her power in game my self. Lore wise I do appreciate that it’s not a jumbled mess, things do link together as to why she is the way she is. I’m sure we all thought it was gonna be a disaster or disappointment from the leaks.. but seeing this I’m actually hoping to see her get love. It’s definitely not traditional horror but realistically it does explain the horror of things that happened in that time like the condition that causes ppl on sea to hallucinate and the horrors of then. Maybe we can get a beach map to follower her soon as well
I heard that theory around, and I think it's because of the "scent" thing, but I understood that as in Snug can track Molak! Besides, if the Snug in Dragon's Tooth was not real either, then it wouldn't make sense for him to be the dog
Massive fan of this killer, the lore is some of my favourite behaviour has ever come up with. Her mori is fantastic as well as the individual voice lines. 10/10!!! Plus the unique power, love love LOVE this chapter.
Like you said snug could be a entity creation or it could be the actual snug, and the hound master made a deal, with the entity to permanently bond with snug so that they never lose each other again
I think snug is real, and he was taken when portia couldn't find him on the island, but hes had his own journey in the realm, and his, and portias eyes glow because of their connection
It would be a far beyond theory but listen me, what if, snug is actually a form or part of entity and in trials the pain in the eye of houndmaster is actually a way of punishment.
I still would love to know what is that wound on the right side of her face why is she hiding it whit some kind of Eyepad ? What is behind the Eyepad ? I really need to see a Blighted Skin of her :D
This might be observed, but when spirits trailer it was hinting that oni was a future killer, and this Mad Malok character in hound masters lore MIGHT be a futer killer, BHVR did it with did it with blight, they could do it with mad molak.
She is quite literally wearing an 18th century English Naval Admirals coat. Just because you want a meme pirate doesnt mean thats what they actually looked like.
@maximilian1588 she was a trader. she only want revenge, and only attacks pirates. i want a villain, not a misunderstood vigilante. you don't have to answer. i honestly don't care enough to bother arguing.
Listening to her voice lines in the trials, she actually sees the survivors as her own traitorous crew, as she uses the words 'mutiny' and 'mutinous'. Words used to describe when a ship's workers turn against their captain. (On second listen, I think I might actually be wrong. OOPS.)
I have a feeling that the dogs cosmetics are the different dogs and each skin is an alternative universe where another dog survived but snug died and so on
I think Snug is a creation of the entity to lure Portia into the fog. Much like how the entity animated Victor's body to lure Charlotte into the fog as well. That said I hope we get to see a Snug skin somehow. Maybe in a ultra rare skin?
Potia has mori lines for the original survivors dwight, nea, claudette, meg, david and even nicolas cage so I don't think she sees Molak when she is killing them.

Age wise, I could see her being 40 years old while Molak was 30 when she killed her dad, making him somewhere around 60-70! Stress does make aging worse, and she was in a lot of stress, so she could be in her 30s too, making Molak even younger
@@MintSkullat that time you were lucky to reach 60's as a Pirates tho
Infind it a little strange how a houndmaster only has one dog. I feel like a title like that would mean she has multiple
Could Haddie’s overlap diver outfit be from when she investigated the dragons tooth ? In the Description it says she found a shipwreck off shore. Could this ship be the nightsdream?
You are right, she might have explored the dragon's tooth! Or she might have found the nightsdream!
Love this killer. Love her pirate theme, love her cane, love that Snug is a Cane Corso, love her outfit (queen literally slays)
2:45 I was distracted and I thought I was tripping when I heard my name 💀
He played a tarick on you
Just so you know, "island" is pronounced more like "ailand", the s is completely silent.
Oh I am aware, same as how I pronounced merchants as merkants, I am just lazy AF and I don't want to re-record my voice for ages since that is by far the most annoying part of making a video. If the misspronounciation is too severe, I do reset.
@@MintSkull Don't worry about it, as long as the intent is clear then mispronunciation is fine
My dumbass thinking he was talking about actually Iceland lol
no way you hit me up with the plants vs zombies 2 pirate music
Plants vs zombies was part of my gaming childhood
I believe they’re going to add Molak as another killer in the future. The Entity took both of them, and so I think they’re going to use him later to give us a more standard type of pirate killer later on. Perhaps with that ocean map they talked about wanting to do before.
Please make more content like this. This was incredible and really gave me reason to be more interested in The Houndmaster
I've really enjoyed the way, you've simplefied her lore. Especially with her Intro. I'm looking foward for Taurie Cain's backstory! :D
The seeing others as a particular target isn't new. Deathslinger sees everyone as the Warden or people who wronged him.
Spirit sees everyone as her father if I remember correctly.
My interpretation of the glowing eye is that she is literally in control of the dog, or transfers her soul/life into the dog
This probably causes pain (probably in the eye) which is why she covers her eye
That’s what I thought, it’s like the twins, where the entity not only immaculate them but also made a clone of their loved ones made of auric cells then entered into the fog.
Honeslty, i really like the houndmaster and her lore, but am also kinda upset that we finally got a killer from a tropical/island setting, yet their power has nothing to do with the ocean...
I do hope tho she gets skins related to that, even better if they could change snugs apperance...
Imagining something like a shipwrecked skin, featuring snug as a shark
Can’t change Snug’s appearance as they are a power like how Victor doesn’t change with Charolette’s skin.
@DCDex05 nah you can look st the roadmap for November the dogs look changed just wait till the 28th
@@harrydawson2171 Ohhh that’s interesting then…then JUSTICE FOR VICTOR! Robbed…
I loved how you bring the history of the characters relating them to their addons and other related events.
Honestly i would be lame for it not to be snug and would irrevertably hurt the character not to have the actual dog there, so its easier to assume the entity took snug earlier and kept the doggo to lure portia in
I believe otherwise, it falls perfectly into her story or at least my interpretation of her story. Imo the entity has her completed fooled, she prob thinks all the survivors are molak and snug is prob an addition to that manipulation seeing as she clearly cares for snug it's an easy tool to use on her
Tbh it makes more sense for Snug to be gone - it makes her story more tragic and adds to the Shakespeare connections, her story is very close to Titus Andronicus in terms of serving Moluk his son’s head and the idea that she is still completely alone makes her story even more of a Shakespearean Tragedy, plus it links to what The Entity’s done to its killers before (giving Charlotte a twisted, violent, version of Victor)
@@crabbytylerI think she doesn’t see the survivors as Molak, she has unique voice lines for the original survivors like for an example Claudette: she makes fun of her bottany knowledge. And I think Snug is really the original Snug, the entity has a thing for animals, like Maurice. Snug isn’t altered by any means, just look at Victor, he literally has a plus eye(thats not mentioned in their lore) and dies in the trials and gets resurected multiple times, but Snug never dies. Plus Snug actually acts like a dog, while Victor acts really strange, even for a deformed baby
Even though I don’t play DBD and don’t like the gameplay loop, their lore has been top tier. It’s almost uncanny how good an explanation they can give for a character popping into existence
Can we all love that the dog is named Snug, as in Snuggles? And props to tha animators and illustrators who got the floppy but fearsome look of this breed so well!
Hee story really suprised me the vibe her cosmetics give off is more like a southern voodoo practitioner more than a pirate who hunts pirates
Her backstory is pretty good. Also the use of the enemy music from Wind Waker when talking about the pirate attack was quite fitting considering the setting of that game.
Why does she look like if skull merchant had a grandmother...
Dbd community when they see a glamorous woman
She must be dissapointed In her granddaughter then
I don't see any similarities besides the thunder thighs, and even then, she absolutely clears that fraud
@@MintSkull well, they are both merchants they both have the same skin color they both look kinda bossy and both their story's have something to do with their father
@@ThePoisonLotus I wouldn't call that... Glamorous..
Portia is absolutely a victim in this and honestly I feel horrible for her.
And if you’re trying to ask well, how did snug end up in the into the trials? Simple he didn’t actually disappear. He was sent to the trials. By the entint
The family dog of the killers
i’m like 89% sure the orange eyes resemble the internal connection the two share (given to them by the entity) which is the reason why she is able to sic snug so easily, go through vaults. not to mention how the visuals like the path snug will take is orange. makes sense for twins too
At first I started really liking this character due to her theme music. Then I was captured by her amazing voice acting. And **now** I'm absolutely in love with her lore, too. Gosh, Behavior really hit the jackpot for me with the Houndmaster (also not to mention that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE PIRATES).
At first the Unknown became my absolutely favorite character in Dead by Daylight, and now I feel Portia is becoming one, as well
Wait is that pvz2 theme for the pirate world? 1:11
shut up
It is!
So glad I wasn't the only one who caught this
I dunno if she exactly sees everyone as a part of Mulock's crew or as Mulock since she has voicelines for Moring specific survivors like Claudette.
Getting to actually watch the power in game I feel confident to say she doesn’t seem obnoxious. You need to be careful where ur at thou but match like other killers you have to be aware. I’m excited to see her power in game my self. Lore wise I do appreciate that it’s not a jumbled mess, things do link together as to why she is the way she is. I’m sure we all thought it was gonna be a disaster or disappointment from the leaks.. but seeing this I’m actually hoping to see her get love. It’s definitely not traditional horror but realistically it does explain the horror of things that happened in that time like the condition that causes ppl on sea to hallucinate and the horrors of then. Maybe we can get a beach map to follower her soon as well
With Portia, sounds like the Entity has proven itself the Master of Edging, even if the Edging is related to murder.
I thought Molak got turned into Snug by the entity
I heard that theory around, and I think it's because of the "scent" thing, but I understood that as in Snug can track Molak! Besides, if the Snug in Dragon's Tooth was not real either, then it wouldn't make sense for him to be the dog
Great video man.
Wow that lore is crazy the entity did her dirty omg
Thank you so very much for this video. Now I understand this new character better and thanks to this video I kinda like the Trunchbull now :D
The video about lore was nice, but gameplay was so fcnkg satisfying to see, holy!
Massive fan of this killer, the lore is some of my favourite behaviour has ever come up with. Her mori is fantastic as well as the individual voice lines. 10/10!!! Plus the unique power, love love LOVE this chapter.
Dbd community every time the killer has a little companion:
Maybe the real Snug was the friends we made along the way.
It’s giving Cartman feeding what’s his face his parents in that chili lol
Like you said snug could be a entity creation or it could be the actual snug, and the hound master made a deal, with the entity to permanently bond with snug so that they never lose each other again
No way you put Pirate Seas theme the tell the lore of the pirate killer
What a legend lmfao ❤
I think snug is real, and he was taken when portia couldn't find him on the island, but hes had his own journey in the realm, and his, and portias eyes glow because of their connection
The dog's ability to jump over pallets is infuriating
Love how you used the PvZ2 Pirate Seas background music for her story at 0:48 💀💀
the music picks were amazing
My theory is
Since snug and hm both have glowing eyes I think the glowing eye is for when she redirects snug she physically possesses his body
Super excited for her to be released. Can't wait.
Love the PvZ2 Pirate Seas music in the background
You got do more lore videos like this one. Would be great if you could also summarize Tome entries.
Not gonna lie, this basically happens to every killer that previously had some form of moral compass or high ground
The..the dog isnt real?
*NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! MY DBD LIFE HAS NO MEANING!!!!*
I'm sure it's not the first time the entity has lied/manipulated to get others in their realm just like Charlotte and a fake victor
It would be a far beyond theory but listen me, what if, snug is actually a form or part of entity and in trials the pain in the eye of houndmaster is actually a way of punishment.
What I wanna know is why the new map is an extension of the mine instead of a cool deserted island/pirate ship
the pirate seas PvZ 2 music in the background XD
I still would love to know what is that wound on the right side of her face why is she hiding it whit some kind of Eyepad ? What is behind the Eyepad ?
I really need to see a Blighted Skin of her :D
This might be observed, but when spirits trailer it was hinting that oni was a future killer, and this Mad Malok character in hound masters lore MIGHT be a futer killer, BHVR did it with did it with blight, they could do it with mad molak.
Molak is somewhere in there... If i find him with my Ghostface, i'll take a good selfie with him and send it to her.
The PVZ music is a perfect fit( swashbuckler shores)
i had no idea she was pirate themed. i really hope this doesnt make them decide to not make a true pirate.
She is quite literally wearing an 18th century English Naval Admirals coat. Just because you want a meme pirate doesnt mean thats what they actually looked like.
@maximilian1588 she was a trader. she only want revenge, and only attacks pirates. i want a villain, not a misunderstood vigilante. you don't have to answer. i honestly don't care enough to bother arguing.
Listening to her voice lines in the trials, she actually sees the survivors as her own traitorous crew, as she uses the words 'mutiny' and 'mutinous'. Words used to describe when a ship's workers turn against their captain. (On second listen, I think I might actually be wrong. OOPS.)
I have a feeling that the dogs cosmetics are the different dogs and each skin is an alternative universe where another dog survived but snug died and so on
I think Snug is a creation of the entity to lure Portia into the fog. Much like how the entity animated Victor's body to lure Charlotte into the fog as well. That said I hope we get to see a Snug skin somehow. Maybe in a ultra rare skin?
I LOVE this Lore!
Even if fog Snug isn’t real, he’s still a good boy
The killers barely been out already trying to figure out the lore 😂
"But she doesn't look like a pirate"
Yes she does, she just doesn't fit your preconceived image of the flanderized pirate trope
Portia, POR-SHUH
I looked everywhere for this hound master but I couldn't find her
WHAT THE DOG DOIN
Honestly, if she really did see the survivors as the pirate raider / his crew, it makes sense why she essentially curb stomps their face in. 😅
Love her lore. Pretty bummer we dont get a pirate ship/ship docking map. Hope they add on in the future !
Dog Power: Cool
Pirate Killer: Cool
Both: Hell Ya
I wonder if snug was *never* a real dog, and that the entity has started manifesting long lasting creatures outside of the realm
Omg Pirate World theme from PvZ 2 at the beginning
Potia has mori lines for the original survivors dwight, nea, claudette, meg, david and even nicolas cage so I don't think she sees Molak when she is killing them.
i wish they add cupcakes skin so you have a German shepherd or a golden retriever or husky or even a tibetan mastiff
This killer and her dog remind me of the old PSX game "Haunting grounds". Fionna and Hewie :D
Not that Dredge ate Snug too :c
