Bungie need to be quit.
On Friday, the Destiny 2 programmer announced via Twitter that it’s currently taking pre-orders for a brand-new luxurious from deep space of Destiny 2. But unlike the surprisingly adorable Fallen Hatchling plush from 2021, or perhaps the Ghost plush the workshop markets, the most recent squishy buddy to strike the Bungie shop is an outright problem.
This is the Screeb, currently constructed of polyester rather than zombified flesh:
This plaything is a plague (not to be puzzled with Abominations, a various, similarly distressing opponent key in Destiny), it’s worrying to lay eyes on, as well as looks really soft. It’s additionally $30.
For those not familiar with Screebs, permit me to capture you up to speed up. First included the 2018 Forsaken growth, Screebs are adversaries that come from the mutated/undead subfamily of Fallen called the Scorn. The in-game variations have numerous arms (much like the luxurious), scary breasts (additionally much like the luxurious), as well as blow up whenever they obtain as well near to you (with any luck absolutely nothing like the luxurious).
These creeps are the outright worst, are terrific at destroying perfect runs, as well as love to creep about in dark passages so they can blow you as well as themselves to smithereens. They’re like Creepers from Minecraft if Creepers were additionally crawlers.
But, obviously, when you take among those horrible fanatics as well as transform it right into a deluxe, it’s virtually obnoxiously adorable to lay eyes on; also if it does resemble a small air bag, or Randy worn his puffy layer from A Christmas Story.
Still, of the adversaries the Bungie merch group might develop into a snuggly buddy for you to possibly offer to a child, they sure handled to select among one of the most distressing ones. Here’s really hoping The Witness — the collection’ huge poor that’s a conglomeration of souls from a long-dead race, stood for by rippling face-smoke that routes behind it, as well as looks vaguely like Megamind — isn’t successor for the luxurious therapy.
