Or they are the total opposite a snap decision from the dev team, a proclamation that "The goats must roll" booming across the roundtable. Then BLAM, IT'S WHEEL SKELETON HERE TO RUN YOU OVER.įrom what I can gather, the goats in Elden Ring are infused with references. A hop onto a pile of bones and a crunch in the distance that only gets closer. If you've played Dark Souls 1, 2, or 3, then you would've encountered them in a catacomb of some form. The goats also have a hint of wheel skeleton to them. Only it's not glistening half-moon of cheese that's revealed, but laser pistols for fingers. It's interesting how these goats also resemble Droidekas from Star Wars, those roly-poly robots that unfurl themselves when they come to a standstill, like a Babybell shedding its wax. Perhaps the dev team have a particular soft spot for the fluffy Pocket Monster and wanted to immortalise its preferred mode of transport? We know Dark Souls is heavily inspired by dark fantasy manga Berserk, and FromSoftware have dropped references and odes to it over the years. Hardware editor James pointed me in the direction of Wooloo, a sheep Pokémon that rolls to get around at speed. Seriously, what's up with that? That is not a thing real goats do. Why am I getting so worked up, then? That's because they roll! Scare them and they'll curl themselves up into a wheel and roll away from you. I brought up an image of a goat on Google Images and cross-referenced it to the goats in-game. One suspects they have formed a bond with the turtles because they have similar interests, but they are definitely 100% goats, I've checked. You'll see groups of them doing what goats do, like bleat with a beeeehhhhh and grind grass with their flat teeth.
At first glance, the goats appear totally normal. Goats live alongside the turtles in harmony in this world. Anyway, yes, FromSoftware have built a world that wants you dead, but ironically, it's one that's filled with life. Must be a temperate climate for them given the abundance of berries and grass. Fall off a cliff and you might just land on a mound of glinting loot, it's that rich. That's because it's a magnificent patchwork of cool things lurking in corners or atop mountains. Aa may also be a reference to a double-A battery, given Flaaffy's Electric type.In my Elden Ring review, I bang on about its open world a lot. (From Bulbapedia) Flaaffy may be a combination of fluffy and baa (the sound sheep make). Its evolutionary family may also have been based on the title of the science fiction novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?. Its type and Ability come from how wool builds up static charges. (From Bulbapedia) Flaaffy is based on a sheep with patchy wool.
The orb will light up when Flaaffy's mane is fully charged, and it can attack by firing electrifying hairs at opponents. The quality of Flaaffy's fleece can change to generate more electricity with less wool.

Storing too much electricity caused Flaaffy to lose the wool over most of its body, but the bare, rubbery skin protects it from the electricity stored in its fleece. Flaaffy's long tail has black stripes and is tipped with a blue orb. It has stubby arms and one nail on each foot. Flaaffy's ears are thick cones with black stripes, and it has small, blue eyes. Its white mane of wool curls sideways on the top of its head and extends to its torso. The bare, slick parts of its hide are shielded against electricity.įlaaffy is a pink, bipedal, sheep-like Pokémon. Its fleece quality changes to generate strong static electricity with a small amount of wool.
