- Necromorphs take over your body in very few ways. Typically a bacteria is responsible more than anything but in some instances, a transplantation of necromorph tissue can quickly alter the body and take a person over. Enter the Divider Necromorph. This lanky creature will hijack the human nervous system by severing the most important part, the brain. In todays episode, lets discuss this brutal necromorphs creation!

I really liked how the divider went: "its dividing time" and divided all over the Ishimura
Bro 😂
Up the walls, down the halls. Out the floor and through the corridor.
It's morphin time
This joke sucks. Let it die
They’re all in the walls
Roanoke spent 5 years educating people about all sorts of monstrosities, he's truly preparing us for potential apocalypse
The wiggly boys cometh
Only getting more and more crazy out there!
If that's the case we need a video on the morphology of Karens.

If the “human will” was actually something completely unique to us, that would be terrifying for aliens. From their perspective, these creatures just continue living and enjoying their lives for no reason in the face of constant chaos, unknowns, and hardships.
I don't think its a valid theory even in the Dead Space universe if only because the Tau Volaantians were desperately trying to find a counter to the Marker Signal (which they discovered) and ended up dropping a forming Brethren Moon on themselves to instantly end their entire species rather than become Necromorphs.
Also "Human Will" is just a combination of biological drive and conscious rationalization. Your body and subconscious mind drive you to survive, your conscious mind can't do much about that, so it rationalizes this in a way that makes it somewhat more appealing to continue no matter the conditions.
So any sapient alien species that is conscious and not just, say, acting purely on some lower level preprogrammed response (and even then, you could argue that if the number of nodes were sufficient, and the overall mechanism complex enough, it would still be able to emulate consciousness), will have "will" in its eyes.
Jeeze, that makes us sound like the real xenomorphs.
The truest form of "it be what it is"
Humans are space orcs and humanity fuck yeah stories are full of stuff like this, things humans consider common being incredibly bizarre and frightening to aliens.
@@reaper_exd7498 "Orcs make sense. The love to fight. They always fight, so they're always having a good time. Humans? They gripe and moan and complain about anything, but also find any excuse to enjoy themselves."
I think dividers are a result of when you “kill” a necromorph. The marker just decides to sloppily reassemble the corpse and then it just does the dividing thing, as per usual. In my opinion, it makes sense because it explains why you only meet them near the end of the games, since it would take longer to reassemble a dismembered corpse.
That makes sense especially if conventional firearms were used because I’m 100% sure they could take down a necromorph but when they get back up I couldn’t say
this makes sense.
your close but it is explained that the Marker just re-fuses the slashers and leapers back together over time, it just takes a while. This explains why their numbers don't seem to thin out at any point despite you killing more than the entire number of crew on the Ishimura. As an aside that I'm sure most people know, because the necromorphs are essentially just macabre marionettes, dismembering them just causes them to no longer be useful to the Marker until it can reconstitute them.
@@Jonathan-oy8cl so would conventional firearms be able to technically kill them?
Im decently well versed in biology but my expertise is guns
Unlike the plasma weapons that cut in dead space regular firearms would throw pieces far away from each other would this prevent the reassembly of the necros?
@@whyareusobad3528 they would eventually reform perhaps slightly weaker, so by that logic yes but you would have to dismember them many times before they wouldn't be able to come back.
Thanks for watching guys! hope you enjoy! ewwwwwwwww jump cut at 9:04, that was my fault lol
Have you considered doing a video on the monsters from Pacific Rim?
I second that idea.
I Think at some point you should check out warframe in particular the infection they have , it is very flood and necromorph like.
I'm watching the full video because why not
The intro was amazing bro
I love Dead Space! Hopefully with the success of the remake, the lore finds new life so to speak. Glad you are making us whole Roanoke!
Bro I would be so happy if they keep it going
i love how the remake was a huge success but the game they made as a sequel kind of flopped
@@TheROZOZOZO are you talking about the Callisto protocol?
bro issac clarke is tramatized every time i bring him to staples.
The Brother Moons were lame as fuck to be the ultimate evil.
A necromorph moon? Okay... It is their war ship.
It being what ever they were trying to be? No... I think they were aiming for some Lovecraft type or Halo Flood type horror.
I would've preferred it needed the sacrifices to create a portal to its dimension in order to cross through. More Event Horizon or 40k warp horror with demonic supernatural(as we don't understand it) elements. Would fit nicely with the religious undertones as well... Also there could be the flip side of Angels being in it. This is why the Marker had infuelence on humans including the three monolithic religions. Christians, Jesus, and Muslims did not understand it and created demons and angels.
I think the scariest thing about necromorphs is you never actually kill them, they will always keep coming for you, even if you could possibly kill a brethren moon itll just revive later on, it is an immortal threat waiting to add you to its mass
Can't kill the dead
Melt ze bodies to ash and slag, no more dead cells
Saturation nuclear bombardment.
Either they can exist as a vapor and were sol or They can't and we keep dropping stars till it's done
Yeah but it wouldn't be around in my life time, I would not have any kids to keep my family from the same fate as well.
Not really, even the brethren moons are quite weak considering the very conveniently placed weak points is literally free for everyone to shit on
I gotta stop and say, I love the fact that he went from nervously talking about how it was an accident that he talked about feet so much to fully embracing the meme
I hope one day Roanoke will release socks that say "Starting with the feet" on them.
Feet are kind of important, to be fair. ^^
I can't believe that necromorphs killed the dinosaurs, and then wasted all that biomass... imagine a dinosaur necromorph, and weep
if there is one thing dead space has taught me across the books, comics, and games...it's that had humanity not called the brethren moons to earth, they'd have adapted and overcome the markers within 3 or 4 generations considering the only thing stopping them was insane & intelligent humans who were at the marker's call
Honestly the divider is definitely the most creepiest enemy they’ve made in this series, like the idea of the head, the arms coming off of it torso and trying to take over your body fills me with nightmares.🐱
Out of all the enemies in the series(besides the ubermorph) they haunt me the most. That damn sound they make... still puts me on edge.
Or the unsettling AAOOOWWWW call that it does, reminds me of my cats yowls when she's in heat lol
I love the divider. The fact they used a weird tiger noise as their idle call was fittingly unsettling and predatory, combined with their general silhouette made them very unnatural.
I had the same thought about tearing a Brethern Moon apart with a Planet Cracker, my word the gore would be End of Evangelion levels of bloody murder.
Not gonna lie, hearing the Divider howl for the first time and see that shambling monstrosity was chilling.
And the death scene? Just as chilling. Imagine running into Isaacs body with that thing attached and either Hammond or Kendra will need to put him down.
Roanoke posting. Watch your collar bones boys.
Why?
Statistically one of the more easy bones to break!
Starting with the feet
@RoanokeGaming well that's threatening 😂
Imagine watching your collar bones in 2023
RE: the ant metaphor
It's also a great explanation on why the human psyche would be permanently cracked when communing with eldritch beings. Imagine picking up a random ant, and giving it the ability to comprehend every part of human existence. Growing up, school, cars, computers, space travel, the internet, credit scores, intricacies in human communication, everything. And then pop it back to live among the rest of the ants. How could it ever go back to marching around and picking up leaves??
The ant would just immediately forget lol
@@XM8A1id forget too if an eldritch horror being told me stuff i wouldnt understand and got sent back home the next day
If I were a ant and you gave me the choice, hauling leaves all day isn't so bad.
I always found this necromorph strange gameplay wise. Especially in dead space 2 where I think it only comes up twice, it was never challenging and felt more like it was there to just scare you. It was also never on group fights only on its own.
You meet a few in the Severed DLC for DS2, and they definitely gang up on you with other necros.
Actually very challenging on Zealot difficulty.
Man instead of being horrified by things beyond my comprehension, im even more horrified because i can now comprehend it, thanks papa roanoke
Can't wait for the traumatizing report about the remake Wheezers and Remake Leviathan ! Also I wonder what the swarmers could be besides the alien bacteria fused with human intestines
Yes! The wheezer, wall gaurdian, and divider necromorphs were by far my favorite
A friend of mine in middle school used to say that swarmers were mutant foreskins.
I always thought of the occurrence of dividers, as it only comes out to play after Isaac has bodied a few dozen necromorphs at this point, as a response to the way he kills them. You can't stop something with dismemberment if it's already dismembered. But Isaac has a slight Chuck Norris power and can dismember them anyway. He can't walk a teacup chihuahua and make it look manly though. That's reserved for the Texas Ranger.
Ah, back to the roots. Necromorph lore is always appreciated.
Never expected my surgery (gastric bypass) to be used in explaining how a deadspace enemy's biology would work! 😅
You're right btw. The small intestine gets rerouted to connect to the bypass. Something people may not know is that the residual stomach is not removed, it is re-attached so it can continue to produce digestive fluids.
I was watching the old Divider video you have in the channel when you posted this, so I finished it and came to see this new one. It is impressive how much the videos have improved over the years, even if they talk about the same thing. Great work.
I still think his older Necromorph analysises are better; gets right into the lore & morphology of them. His newer videos has sections that I would say is overthinking it & drags on the video for too long (and also bearing YT-friendly censorship in mind annoyingly...)
@@NatureXwars This is one of the very few complaints I have, but overall, his videos have improved in quality a lot. And I agree with you, the older videos jump straight into the lore and morphology, so bonus points for that one.
The Necromorph's always freaked me out, but these ones in particular just make me shudder every time
15:50
The Tao-volantians may have just been more limited in their space travel capabilities due to them being aquatic creatures. It'd make it harder to make spacecraft and might limit colonization options.
And who's to say that any colonies just weren't discovered or also went full mr. freeze.
Hmm, did the games ever address if the brothermoons scrubbed any evidence of the species they subsumed?
they dont, however, those items usually all degrade and bury themselves over the course of billions of years.
Why would it be harder outside of extra mass required? It doesn't seem like energy is a huge issue for them judging by their technology.
Seriously once you start making any spacecraft whether they need to contain air or water at standard human pressure it is all the same due to the extreme vacuums and pressure changes ships are designed for anyway.
Actually living in a liquid in space has a lot of benefits! I remember them trying to experiment on humans with liquid breathing, but don't recall all the advantages it would have had.
Turns out no matter how safe you know it is logically? Your ape mind just screams, "NONONONO!".
Also there was the whole our lungs were not designed for NOR strong enough to recycle enough liquid to extract enough oxygen for any length of time. Or the whole water getting inside the lungs is an issue thing causing pneumonia... Or the whole you couldn't subconsciously breath. Yet they did try for a while! Those men and women did not get paid enough to keep trying though.
@dianapennepacker6854 getting the weight of the water into orbit for one. temperature control is harder, life support/cleaning is harder, all electronic systems are harder, pretty much every part of the process is much more difficult. Still possible, but requiring magnitudes more effort to achieve.
There is also the question of if being underwater would prevent technology from advancing past the copper age due to the inability to harness fire.
@@clawgerber1992 I will give the electronic part. Even that you act like insulating electronics is hard.
We also design our technology from the ground up to be used in air anyway and then make it to be used in liquid. Not the other way around.
It is just as hard to regulate heat in air in space as is liquid? The problem in space is getting rid of excess heat which is done through radiators anyhow.
Speaking of insulation. They'd also be safer due living in a liquid.
Look up the ring builders from the expanse. They started out fully aquatic, but then used parasitism to grow all of their technologies by hijack self replicating organisms, usually bacteria or simple multicellular life. Its fascinating. So no fire or electricity needed. However, they evolved on an ice shell moon with no atmosphere, so becoming space faring was very easy for them once they adaped to vacuum after breaching the ice.
Suddenly, I'm reminded that a large structure was recently discovered under Australia. It seems this structure is the remains of a massive impact crater far larger than the one that ended the dinosaurs. The idea of a marker buried under Australia actually explains a lot of the flora and fauna there
nah the marker got eaten by the drop bears already present
No, not really. We don't have much here that other countries don't have. Nothing necromorph-esque.
@@spankyjeffro5320 That's what the marker would like us to think 🧐
It would be funny if something Like Dead Space could be real
@@jasonbrody8957terrifyingly so
These videos really make me appreciate the level of detail game devs put in. Like they could've just left it at "space zombies" but no, they had to go and make necromorphs horrifically efficient lol
Yes! love the necromorph videos. Please keep 'em coming Roanoke.
Absolutely!
Here's one to think about. What if it turned out that the Unitologists were (sort of) correct and that those absorbed into a Brethren Moon have their consciousness preserved and "live" in a Matrix style world inside the Moon's mind? Deadspace 4 could have had Issac and co trying to literally fight the moons from the inside.
Interesting theory. But the Necromorphs are already dead... hence their name.
The Markers can't mutate living flesh (if I'm not mistaken). So therefore a person's consciousness would no longer exist once they've become a Necromorph and by extension a Brethren Moon.
Its entirely possible, uni slashers are far less mutilated than normal and as seen with the wall guardians the marker does take resistance personally. Its probably just propaganda though to get people to give up, i doubt the moons care about any of us or what we think
@@nathanielnadeau6501what is the self? The body that is rotting or your thoughts getting implanted into brother moons and what ever is the mid point?
@northerntarantulas Yes but what is death? Is there an afterlife or is there simply nothing?
Because if you cease to exist as evolution promotes... than your consciousness does with you.
@@nathanielnadeau6501 well the marker could be recording your thoughts as it corrupts you?
Ahhh yes, that spine tingling howl.. the first time I encountered this still lives fresh, rent free in my mind.
Wish they utilized The Divider more. One of the most eerie Necromorphs.
That first slow couple steps around the corner followed by the noise as it starts stalking down the hall torwards you oh yeah it lives there
Even if you just remake all your old dead space episodes I’ll watch them every time
Ah. Back to basics ey lads. Lovely work as always Roanoke.
Gotta love it! thanks for watching my man :)
Love the Dead space videos! thank you.
Thanks for watching brother!
WOOOOOOO my shift just started and i already have something to listen to 😎 thanks man!!
Have a good shift bro!
@RoanokeGaming shift just ended man. And dear God it was SO much eaiser starting it out with my favorite biologists bro there to kick it off!!! Thanks again bro 😎
So damn happy to see you remaking the deadspace necromorph videos! Much love to my favorite channel!❤
Yes! More Science with a hint of gaming! My type of video!
The perfect cover!
I missed your Dead Space videos so much! Obviously I still love the new content, but this was the bread and butter of the channel when I started watching, and it’s good to be back!
I'm 100% with you on the head canon. I'm surprised that the last DLC didn't end that way.
Duuude! Planet cracking a Brethern Moon just blew my mind! 😂 Amazing!
Been watching Roanoke Tales alot, keep up the good work Broanoke Gainsings
I was just talking about how you posted 4 days ago... Ah! You spoil us Roanoke...
Roanoke's jokes are always 1000% on point!!! I love em
The first Dead Space is still my favorite horror game since Silent Hill. I’ll never get tired of Roanoke doing videos on it. I really need to play the remake or remaster or whatever it’s really called because it looks awesome and I’m told there are several differences between it and the original
These things have always been my favorite enemy. Every playthrough I do, I have to let the head take me out because of the unique end you meet. It's not often that you get to see Isaac "Change teams" so it makes me quite sad that the remake actually has less dividers than the original.
Always a good day when Roanoke uploads
My guy, been listening on and off for years. You've inspired me to go back to college for a biology degree. Also, great video and I hope one day to see a video on the xenomorph from the alien series
Always loved these annoying lads, it's a shame they don't appear as much even tho they are quite the pain if you're not prepared. Glad to finally see a remade video on them !! Cheers from Brazil :>
@5:03 love that little edit but also sad dead space 4 sounds
roanoke love the videos man keep up the good work
Easily one of my favorite creator's!! I would love to see you and wendigoon collaborate on something! Keep up the good work Roanoke, ive been watching for like 2 years and its been great to see you grow overtime.
Roanoke's headcanon for Dead Space 4 would be even cooler if it turns out Isaac "facing his destiny" as the devs said include doing what orriginally started the series to begin with
Isaac repairs the Ishimura (that somehow still stands) for the purpose of cracking apart the Bretheren Moons
It has been proven that pieces of the divider do act individually as you encounter pieces behind containers sometimes so one could say that the head is the hunter that gets the body mutilated by the slasher to create another divider so as it hunts, there are separate pieces all over making distractions for the slasher and other variants to capitalize. When there's a whole divider that could mean it was the most recent victim.
Great vid! I’m guessing that Isaac’s body would possibly turn into a twitcher as he has the stasis module on and loaded.
Actually one of my favorite Necromorphs. Thanks Roanoke for covering it in detail!
I appreciate the effort you put in these videos, loving it. I like the idea of taller people being made in dividers, is this something the developers intended? Or is this just speculation?
Mister Roanoke (or would it be Mister Gaming...) would you be interested in covering the cosmicly iradiated tardigrades from Harbinger Down? It's a fun little throwback movie, inspired by the Thing, uses mostly practical effects. I think you'd enjoy it!
Love the content sir!
tuesday upload hell yea🎉
love the new editing style 👍
Can’t wait to see the updated wheezer episode. The one i’ve been waiting on since the remake came out
love how you’re still making dead space videos
Returning to the the roots of your channels I see classic dead space.
Dude I've been binging your videos everyday for about a month or so and I cant get the phrases "activated his almonds" and "swelling in the meningies" out of my head haha. Love your channel and the the way your videos are set up!
I think I got a theory about the dividers.
Do you remember the recorded voice of a guy who chopped off his own limps to prevent his necromorph killing his friends?
I think dividers are those guys. Since the guy is not thrown around the limps remained very close to their original position and hence the limps are being attached again.
Day felt like it was dragging here and this magnificent man uploads a dead space video👍
Hope you enjoy it brother :)
Circling back to the Ishumura to crack open a brethren moon is so metal, I love it!
Awesome video dude! I hope the next one is for the tardigrade monster from harbinger down!
It still amazes me how this franchise has not been made into a movie? Rumor is that horror legend, John Carpenter wanted to make a movie, but he was denied.
A quarter of the way into the video: "so today we'll be talking about..." gods I love this channel
im from dead space necroposting and its good to know you are in it as well
It's good to see you making Dead Space vids again. That's how I discovered this chanel 6 years ago👍🏾
Isaac: smacks divider head
Divider: so,.no head?
Hand creature: smacks Isaac's cheeks and runs away.
Where did you find those high quality images of the necromorph models? Great video btw, love seeing more Dead Space content!
damnn you smart. Your able to dig out and piece together so much info from this game and I love it.
Can you go over the 'tadpole' parasite/Mind flayers in Baldurs Gate 3? I've just got the game and I love it, I would love an in-depth synopsis of the parasite and how it works. Also, I would love to hear your input on the game. I've been a fan of your channel for a while and your video game species analysis has gotten me hooked on your channel
This would be so cool!
"The pelvis is in a desiccated state" is a wild sentence that I will absolutely be using henceforth
I think it's implied that the Tau Volaantians were more advanced than human's and were in a similar position, i.e. they had various colonies and were running out of resources. Also we see two forms even with the basic TV Necromorphs, being the infant swarm and the adult TVs. They also apparently had many
It's also worth noting that the TV physiology seems better as an aggressive vector than human's with less extensive modifications. They are big, strong, and durable, with modifications to make them more dangerous not necessarily being incentivized over just making relatively small (and thus much more rapid) alterations.
Also we have to bear in mind that they were apparently deep ocean dwelling organisms, as such any modifications would have to at least maintain their ability to survive high pressures in an aquatic environment. Unlike human based Necromorphs who have basically no limit on form as long as it can support its own weight under standard atmospheric conditions.
Dead Space is my favorite rendition of the idea of "The cruel indifference of the universe VS. the Indomitable Human Spirit."
During the tall leader discussion, you showed a picture of Napoleon for short leaders. You are aware that he was of standard height for his time, the short meme was actually political spin from his enemies.
Nah he was short
Hey Roanoke, since you did a Space Marine video way back when I was wondering if you were planning on doing any more videos related to 40K? Since you love dead space so much you'd have a field day with the tyranids
Here's something I might've missed amongst your videos - how does a creature reconstitute biomass into viable monsters? For example, if a corpse is dismembered, how does the macrophage know how to create a crude facsimile of a bipedal human?
"What are you doing Step- BrotherMoon" - Isaac probably
Love that you're still doing dead space stuff, thats how i originally found your channel years back !
Thank you for making anatomy fun
“The head bones connected to the tendril” 🎶
A thought occurs: maybe this form was partially inspired by the realization that dismemberment is more effective. with information spreading telling people to shoot the limbs off, probably being disseminated by the officers, the marker probably started making these macro-colonies that would be more resistant to dismemberment since their limbs are disconnected already.
correction though, no all the parts are from the same person. even in the model you can see the big toe for one of the feet is on the wrong side indicating it is likely sporting two left feet. this shouldnt be surprising since all matter is necrofied whether its a full corpse, some limbs, spilt blood, all of it. when they are, they are reconfigured to either be "creep" on the walls, floor and ceiling. or they pull a voltron and start waddling towards you at a slow pace to give you a big ol slap. and if you knock it apart? well, they had the ability to come together so its their last stand that they find their mobility as a chance to take down the resisting party. this is also more confirmed with isaacs kill cam when it replaces his head and starts to move in a odd form of puppeteering
Old school content. Haha, love it!
“Say the line Roanoke!”
“Starting with the feet…”
“I love this fella”
You know it’s funny I was literally just wondering when you get back to a game video lol love the content man but it’s nice to get back to the roots
You should look into those humans fused the walls at the torso. They caught me off guard one too many times during the game 😂
My favorite part of Roanoke's Dead Space videos is when he points out how they're all bald headed lol
After integrating the additional lore from the Remake, I believe the noted potency of human intellect was in fact encouraged by the Tau Volantis Moon.
Heck yeah man! I've been waiting for this one. Good work with the dead space work. You could totally do a good video on the flood from halo. I think you'd like them considering your affinity for the necromorphs.
Yes! Your original dead space videos are what got me into the channel first! 😂🎉
I love these breakdowns of the necromorphs using actual science and stuff.
Been playing Dead Space since it came out on the 360 and the videos I've seen got me playing the remake after work tonight 🤟🤟☠️☠️
Husk parasite in Barotrauma might be a fun topic to cover.
It’s good to see a good old creature breakdown on ur channel keep it up Roanoke!
Dividers look like what happens when someone attempt to dismember a necromorph but the marker reanimated it again. In every outbreak, survivors talk about how necessary it is to aim for the limbs, so it makes sense that as necromorphs their likelihood of already missing limbs or picking up scattered limbs would increase as the fight continues. Eventually the limbs themselves would attempt to combine to join the fight much like how the viscera left on the walls did to form the corruption.
2 thoughts occurred to me randomly at work regarding this particular necromorph, 1: why when a divider splits apart, does the torso not be used as another means of attack? Like, have what is left of the ribcage act as legs and let the torso scuttle around as a distraction. 2: I just can't get the image of this necromorph essentially being an undead megazord out of my head.
I love the new format, feels like I get more science per ep!
Was wondering when the next necromorph biology video was dropping.
