That was the most epic update I've ever seen in the devlog.  Nearly every sentence could have gone into the quotes page on magmawiki.

See, Mr. Molyneaux?  This is what Hollow Men means.

I suppose with the Magic update we also get some anti-magic items to dispel/banish stuff like this, or magical weapons that auto-ends  a spell it strikes.

What if the Hollow acts like a T-1000? If it falls to pieces, it will do its best to get back together (depending on the size of the pieces). Best way to destroy is magma.

I could see hollows becoming a very deadly monster. Fast moving (due to being light weight), resistant to bolts (they usually just pass through) and hammers (they just push them back a bit), and if they have a smother/envelope attack they would be incredibly hard to get off.

I still want blood golems though. (Fairly tough ones rather than weak blood men).

[Jelle]

Yeah blood golems made from cuagulated blood hardened by evil energies, I like the idea.

Toady will probaly fix that thing with the lower bodies missing after someone is dead won't he?

[Berserkenstein]

I'm imagining the hollow as looking like taquitos crawling around on the ground like inch worms.

Yes, from what we can see the game will track damage even after death, such as the reanimated necromancer in the devlog.


I belive we just witnessed the creation of the most badass horror monster ever. Why no one ever tought of that before is beyond me.

Resisting urge to create human( or deon orc) adventurer named Ichigo......

So, on the off (not) chance healing/regenerative sort of magics/secrets come up in the near future... or sudden adventurer enthusiasm in sewing... Do you suppose we could sew hollow skins together into a single, contiguous monstrosity?

I stand corrected.

I envision The Hollowed as loose bags of skin filled with necromantic ether. Wisps of the ether leak out of their drooping eyelids and mouths. When you cut them, the wounds "bleed" ether, and when it all leaks out, The Hollowed re-dies and the skin is consumed.

When they attack, they grapple with you. If they can latch on, they attempt to "kiss" you and breathe the ether into your lungs, searing your flesh from the inside.

I see it more like just animated skin roughly in the shape of whatever the skin belongs to. Depending on how magical Toady himself sees them, either walking upright and inflated or sliding around on the ground. One thing I think we can all agree on, though, is that you don't want to let them grab you. What exactly they should do might vary from interpretation to interpretation, but it's definitely bad news.

[kaijyuu]

I imagine a humanoid shape sort of billowing in the wind, slowly lumbering toward you.

[Matz05]

They should be able to wrestle well but not actually "strike" effectively, leaving them strangulation, throwing, etc as attacks. At least, that sounds like the simplest way...
