Bungie should be stopped.
On Friday, the Future 2 developer announced via Twitter that it’s now taking pre-orders for a brand new plush from the universe of Future 2. However not like the surprisingly cute Fallen Hatchling plush from 2021, and even the Ghost plush the studio sells, the most recent squishy good friend to hit the Bungie retailer is an absolute nightmare.
That is the Screeb, now made out of polyester as an alternative of zombified flesh:

This toy is an abomination (to not be confused with Abominations, a special, equally upsetting enemy kind in Future), it’s alarming to behold, and appears very comfortable. It’s additionally $30.
For these unfamiliar with Screebs, permit me to catch you on top of things. First added within the 2018 Forsaken growth, Screebs are enemies that belong to the mutated/undead subfamily of Fallen referred to as the Scorn. The in-game variations have many arms (similar to the plush), creepy udders (additionally similar to the plush), and explode every time they get too near you (hopefully nothing just like the plush).
These creeps are absolutely the worst, are nice at ruining flawless runs, and like to crawl round in darkish corridors to allow them to blow you and themselves to smithereens. They’re like Creepers from Minecraft if Creepers had been additionally spiders.
However, apparently, once you take a kind of nasty freaks and switch it into an opulent, it’s virtually obnoxiously cute to behold; even when it does appear to be a tiny airbag, or Randy wearing his puffy coat from A Christmas Story.
Nonetheless, of the enemies the Bungie merch staff might flip right into a cuddly good friend so that you can doubtlessly give to a small little one, they certain managed to choose some of the upsetting ones. Right here’s hoping The Witness — the sequence’ huge dangerous that’s a conglomeration of souls from a long-dead race, represented by billowing face-smoke that trails behind it, and appears vaguely like Megamind — isn’t subsequent in line for the plush remedy.
