DEVILED EGGLER
Do you often forget how many Ls are in “Deviled”? I sure do! But if you don’t mind, you can take this L for me, because I am pretty sure I have cemented that I only need one for this word. I learned from needing to think about Deviled Eggler so often! This has been one of the things I have learned about from Bugsnax!
Deviled Eggler is weird in that it is Eggler in name, but not REALLY in nature? Or maybe it chronologically came before the more basic Eggler? It must be freed from an egg in order to release it into the world, and as such it is an Eggler by definition, probably. And this time it is a big egg! It can be inconvenient to find and transport them, but you can enlist the help of Tikkada for that, which I forgot to do when moving these. Once you get them close enough, though, you can crack the egg to reveal the Creature!
While regular Eggler is a fried egg, Deviled Eggler is, of course, a deviled egg! I’m glad it is, because plain hard-boiled eggs are so bland to me, while deviled ones are so delicious. If it really wanted to, Deviled Eggler could theoretically cover its yolk with its wings and legs to look just like a regular hard-boiled egg with a shell abdomen, though!
Speaking of those wings and legs, I think they are so cool, because this is one of those examples of wacky, nebulous Bugsnak anatomy! While flying, two pairs of these appendages are wings, while the other two hang down. Deviled Eggler is based on a wasp, and those hanging legs remind me of paper wasps especially! In addition, I’m just now realizing that the pointy ends of the cracked shell probably represent the stinger!
When on the ground, though? SIX legs! Wings to legs so instantly! Now it can scuttle with the best of them, with complete control on nearly any terrain. Also, this picture gives a nice look at its fashionable yolk swirl and paprika powdering! It feels a little weird that this is a spicy snak, since I don’t think I have ever had a spicy deviled egg, but a Devilish snak just has to be spicy, I think.
Getting back to the link between Eggler and Deviled Eggler, you may remember that Eggler is a slug, making it truly bizarre for Deviled Eggler to be a wasp! And of course, there are sea slugs that “fly” through the water, so you would not be blamed for thinking Deviled Eggler could be such a slug. This situation is just silly. What is this? Some kind of SILLY piece of media?
