Man's really said "Let's Be hammerlock" for a hour and I'm all for it.
Lore about enemies HO!!
Aka the truest big gae hunter
@@LFXGaming what about TPS?
Tally Ho..... "Tired of being partially devoured by skags? Sick of not knowing how to stop a rampaging stalker in its tracks? Then you need to pre-order The Beasts of Pandora, by Sir Hammerlock. (That's me!) Inside my book, you'll learn how to extricate yourself from any sticky situation, regardless of what flora or fauna is responsible for said stickiness. Remember, that's The Beasts of Pandora, by Sir Hammerlock! If you don't buy it, you'll die!"
Fr
One thing about threshers. They're an invaisive species that wasn't native to pandora prior to borderlands tps and instead resided exclusively on pandora's moon elpis. Slappy, the thresher that screwed over hammerlock was the first pandoran thresher and after maiming the poor dude it escaped and populated pandora.
Adding on to this, the second of the two threshers you send to Hammerlock in TPS is likely to be Terramorphous, as he refers to one of them as Terry after you turn in the mission. The one that grows up to be Slappy isn't namedropped there, but how big they are in 2 and being the one to mess up Hammerlock are evidence enough that Slappy's the other thresher
While the reason is "its a video game", lore-wise I'm surprised a species adapted to such low gravity would be able to so easily thrive on Pandora itself.
@vadandrumist1670 I mean they live in the ground so maybe it wouldn't be such a big issue
@@matejmasic6540 the soil they have to move weighs more on Pandora.
Weren't rakks also native to elpis and invasive to Pandora?
I think it's really cool that Badass Marauders wear Lance trooper armour, it subtly hints that either some bandits salvaged the suits or Lance soldiers integrated their skills into bandit ranks.
In 2 there's an Lance npc who says that some Lance joined Rolland and others became bandits.
They did expand on rats in the pre-sequel. During a quest, you learn a lost legion scientist made geneticaly altered worms that caused madness in the host.
In BL2 they are implied to be a result of experiments, with the TMNT reference quest, Splinter Group, where Tannis says they are a result of Hyperion experimentation. Maybe Hyperion were trying to study the worms.
Fun fact: "Vermivorous" literally just means 'worm eater'. Considering the other Pandoran wildlife, this could suggest that varkids, or at least vermivorous specifically, feeds on either threshers or sand worms.
I’d say they feed on Sand Worms, since Threshers are a form of carnivorous plant…..somehow
im pretty sure nothing from the dlcs was cannon which means sand worms prob wont cannon
@@bruhgod123I dunno, blowing up Helios from the end of the Tina DLC was canon, so there's that at least.
@@nemohimself2580 yea also SAoGK was cannon pretty much the only non cannon dlcs are the headhunters and ZIoDN
When I was just a little lad I used to read borderlands wiki similar to how normal people read books, nowadays I don't have time to read borderlands wiki anymore, but my interest in the universe hasn't decreased, so videos like this that just throw all the lore into a one big pile are very welcome
I do this with the DC wiki because I'm too broke to get all the comics 😭
I remember doing the same when I first got onto the internet
Same. As a kid, I often did that for the Assassin’s Creed games
I did this with tvtropes
I love when Rats keep eye contact with you while doing stuff with loot, they know exactly what they're doing and they're milking it for all it's worth.
"MINE NOW"*Gets a face full of buckshot after staring me down during the theft *
It would’ve better if the COV had the bl2 bandits. they’re both imitating and enjoyable to listen and shoot at. Along with showing different clans as opposed of streamer followers with no memorable voice lines compared to the true inhabitants of Pandora.
Nothing will ever match the bandits of bl1
@@MacaqueStinx "Blast 'em!" "Woahh" "raughhhh ugh" "Messed with us now you're gonna pay!"
i recently played bl2 with no music (basically sacrilege ik) and the voice lines are so unique and varied, playing as all 6 gives different lines from loads of bandits, and the amount each on has is madness and really gives them all their own funny or and fucky personality
@@REALPEDROGAMEPLAYS You're gonna sqUEAL when we cook ya
@@LFXGaming I play the game with everything off except for music to roleplay that my character has airpods in and cant hear anything
The amount of enemies and their diversity in BL2 is amazing Love this game forever
Yknow you’re definitely right about lack of guardians in two Jack definitely sent loader bots and his soldiers to clear it for him
I agree, guardians are dope. Probably because Eridians and everything that's linked to them are very interesting, at least in my opinion. I'm glad we got an entire guardian-themed raid in BL3 as well as the planet Nekrotafeyo
Fun little trivia, the Threshers were a native species to caves in Elpis, which, in a mission, under the request of hammerlock, we send two to Pandora (Iirc one is Terramorphous) so they are an invasive species. Other fun trivia, if you play that mission as Aurelia, she will fake an accent and voice because she wants to avoid any conflicts with her brother, too. Also you missed the Borderlands 1 Hyperion soldiers :(
The 2 threshers are Terramorphous and Old Slappy
I didn't know that. Cool to know! Love these small lore details
Name of mission?
@@chukwuemekanzerem9478 can't remember, but it is given at the Concordia bounty board
@@chukwuemekanzerem9478 Believe it's Home Delivery in Concordia.
Instructions unclear: Accidentally grabbed a Norfleet. Also I think you missed the New Pandoran enemies from the giraffe- I mean the Commander Lilith dlc.
ahhhhh damn yeah i did, thanks for letting me know, goddamn
A bit of speculation here: Looking at their anatomies, I'm fairly certain that rakk hives are distantly related to skags.
Which implies that rakks and skags are similar creatures. Perhaps they share a life cycle? Maybe the skrakks we fight are actually rakks metamorphosising into skags. A neat theory at the very least
I think the hive and the rakks are not directly related but have more of a symbiosis going on. The rakks get a place to nest and the hive gets protection.
@@Astalos-ub4by definitely a better idea than mine. Its clear that the hive and rakks are separate fauna and only exist together for protection, shelter, and food. Wild ideas are cool but when you really think about it things like this just make more sense. Maybe in BL4 we can have a creature notebook or smth and learn more about them all
One thing that really annoys me in relation to BL2 and Guardians is that in BL3, Maya literally mentions that she fought Guardians on Pandora. Unless it happened between games, it's just bizarre she would mention them when they didn't appear in the prior entry
There are Guardians in bl1 iirc
@bunnyninja4127 you are correct. However, Maya was introduced in Bl2, and as far as we know, she was still on Athenas during the events of Borderlands 1
@@fatefulwaffle other minor vaults being opened and having guardians in them in between games
Do you mind doing the special/boss variants of these creatures, I find this series extremely interesting.
cheers! bosses and uniques are definitely on the list, they deffo need their own video
@@LFXGaming would you consider the rakk hives to be bosses? Whether you do or don't, please cover them. I love the giant vagina faced spider camels
Threashers are also not native to pandora instead a highly invasive species sent to Pandora from elpis threw a mission given to you by hammerlock
through
Hammerlock fucked up baddd lmaoo. When I did this quest for the first time I was like 🤨🤨🤨🤨
Looking at all these close up images of all these NPCs made me realize how cool they look. They did an absolutely fantastic job creating an aesthetic for each NPC and type.
22:04 Honestly it would’ve been nice to see guardians during the warrior fight instead of the crystalisks would’ve been nice.
and the real final boss, VOLCANIC RAKKS
@@LFXGaming i despise rakks with all my soul i hate them even more in borderlands 1
I don't remember where but I seem to recall that scythids are seasonal creatures. Pandora has really long and weird seasons and when Dahl first landed on the planet, it was just leaving a wet season, during which there were no Rakk or Skag, but lots of scythids. During the dry season, which lasts for a decade or something, the scythids hibernate like cicada. I have no idea if this is true, but it is sitting in my brain in a fact bin not a theory or opinion bin.
I do remember reading somewhere that Pandora's winter is 7 years, during which time most large mammalian-adjacent fauna hibernate. Dahl originally arrived shortly before the end of winter.
I know most of this information is directly ripped -from the hands of dead adventurers- from the Wiki, but you do a good job making it interesting and pretty damn funny
Fun fact about Goliaths, they’re naturally bloodthirsty maniacs, but the bandits discovered that slapping a helmet on them and pressing down the little skull piece made them more friendly and docile, at the cost of intelligence. Simply put, trading intelligence and combat skill so that they don’t murder your entire camp.
One thing I'm pretty surprised you didn't bring up, is how weak crystaliks' crystal legs are to melee attacks. You can kill them extremely quickly in high levels with any character if you focus on melee. It's so good.
The scythids were more like alien cockroaches to me and my college roommate. Didn't help that we had discovered a roach infestation in our dormitory kitchen while playing this game, which looked like black scythids. We both agreed that Scythids were probably the most visually disturbing enemies we could encounter in BL1, especially the ones that rear up when slowly approaching, and part of me has been kind of happy that Varkids replaced the nasty buggers in BL2. Nice video, Hammerlock would be proud.
I hate the varkids lmao, not only because of the mechanics but because of the creepy ass audio they make and how they move, part of the reason ive never fought vermivorous But they do fit well with the areas theyre in
I also used to absolutely hate scythids due to how much they look like cockroaches, but nowadays I see them more as snails or something like that, so it's slightly less gross 😂 And it's exactly like cockroaches, the ones that fly are 10x scarier.
Thank god scythids stayed in bl1, those freaked me out when I first saw them
Nightmare Fuel Fr
Varkids freak me out more but granted i havent heard the scythid’s audio
Thank you so much for such a great, informational video! You're an IRL Hammerlock, and I absolutely love learning more about the various enemies and in depth lore
My headcanon is that threshers drove scythids to extinction after they got brought from Elpis to Pandora by Hammerlock and a bunch of vault hunters. Both species live underground and favour poluted areas. When it comes to guardians, I also blame the Pre-Sequel vault hunters for their absence in BL2. Their presence on Pandora might have been orchestrated from Elpis and well ... guess what the final boss of the Pre-Sequel is.
Havent finished the video but a probable cause for scythid erradication could have been the introduction of the alien underground dwelling treshers from the moon as seen in bl tps
When it comes to RakK, I really think the Devs of Borderlands were like, _"Hey! Remember _*_cliff racers_*_ from Morrowind? Gotta bring them back. Ya know, for a goof...?"_
You are hilarious you honestly deserve more subscribers I'm glad I found your videos
I have played this game since the release and I even learned a few things from this. well done, can't wait to see more.
Love this video! Def worth subbing for! Also love the presequeal joke about higher ups launching them into space!
Instant subscribe and hell yes, I'm watching the whole thing, I love longer videos
Been awhile since I saw a Borderlands video in my recommendations. My desire to see a Borderlands Xcom-like has been reviewed by watching this. So many enemies, just imagine if they were in a turn-based system.
I'm thinking more like Disgaea. You make and name your units and can evolve them into better stat forms, while retaining X-Com-esc gameplay.
This is gonna blow up
The video being commented on by the above comment is likely to rupture.
Demonstrated video file will likely (although not guaranteed) gain an uncommon amount of popularity among "gamers"
Yall mfs crazy...........and i love it
By your enthusiasm for the humble rakk, I can tell you would absolutely love the cliff racers of Morrowind.
If you could, I would be interested in one of these on Pre sequel, with Elpis and Helios.
Its Coming dont you worry my friend
Man I love the creature designs in this series
actual facts you definitely need, f*ck me this is a good borderlands video & thanks for making me smile today, keep 'em coming, you got a another sub
I found your channel with your manufacturer video and i love them. Imma binge watch them
you forgot the most Badass, most Gangrenous, most insane Enemies.... Barrels, (and gravity) 💀
This is a fucking amazing video definitely keeping my eye on this channel
Amazing video! Now do it again with all dlc enemies, TPS, TFtBL, and 3, on all planets, and include every unique named variant such as bosses and notable npcs. Hell yeah, 15 hour video, and we’d watch it all too.
I have quite literally always wanted a video like thjs
I absolutely love these looong and useless but still entertaining videos , this type of video that you find and night and just can't stop watching
glad you enjoyed it! its mad for me still that people would actually want to listen to my voice for so long ahahaha
I loved the end of the Rakk section, your annoyed imitation made me laugh so hard
The guardians also are said to copy the faces of whatever race they are fighting which is why they have human like faces in BL1 haven't played 3 yet so no idea how they do it in that
Just wanna say that you missed King Mong and Donkey Mong when you talked about the bullymongs lol. Great vid man! Loved the education and the humor.
Dont know how feasible this is, but it would be soooo interesting if you did a video on the basic weapon types in each company/class. Ill notice i pick up a Vladof pistol and they have the same general design with different addons on them
love to see this kind of video for bosses
Loved the video, never thought I'd find a video on the enemies of pandora, do you think a video on the enemies of TPS is possible? I know it's not a well recieved game but there are people who enjoy it.
Good idea! i went into this thinking of splitting the enemies up into Planets (hence why BL3 will be its own thing) so covering the moon of pandora next makes sense! also ive been getting into TPS recently and i love it a lot more than when i originally played, a really cool game ill definitely cover thanks!
I could imagine chris nostalgic making a new video: "Can skags give good sloppy toppy?"
a question we didnt want answered but NEEDED answered
I'm so glad this dude exists
Thank You for making this video well done !!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it!! Now....do one about all of the glitches in Borderlands lol. Seriously. I've got a slag glitch on my Assassin and it suck. Now I think I have a "corrode and gun slinger" glitch that I can find anyone else talking about.
Goliaths be like: "haha funny gun go bang bang haha- **Helmet gets shot off** "I'M GONNA RIP YOUR HEART OUT OF YOUR FACEHOLE!!!"
Your TF2 Scout's sense of humour freezes me out with its obnoxity; yet watchable and - at its rare apex moments - enjoyable.
Awesome video!!! :D
I would have been cool to see more mentions of raid bosses like for Hyperius when talking about Hyperion engineers, or more info on terramorphous other than just a name drop.
Dw this video was just on normal enemies, bosses are coming soon...
I liked the video. I listened to it in the background while doing something else
A Massive Video That I Am Really Proud To Finally Be Showing You Guys, I Am Now Currently Dying But It was Worth It, This Is EVERY SINGLE Enemy that appears on pandora in Borderlands 1 and 2, Borderlands 3 coming soon hush hush patience is a virtue, Hope You Enjoy! You Can Watch The First Video About The Weapon Manufacturers Here!!: kzhead.info/sun/mZumht2grp-qiXA/bejne.html&ab_channel=LFXGaming Edit: Just noticed i listed The Name Change Of Marauders But Like Nothing else, Honestly Skipped My Mind Why I Only Mentioned them But hopefully yall can forgive me
The rats were expanded upon in the pre sequel and given lore to their insanity
this was an awesome video
A documentary about Pandoras wildlife and extra stuff? Im in lets get some snacks!
The video I never knew I wanted to watch
Very cool and informing video! I was wondering what mod you're using in the gameplay footage for Bl2?
Some of it was the BL2 reborn mod, really good id recommend playing it, can find it on Nexusmods its one of the most downloaded there!
@@LFXGaming Thank you for the answer! Will definitely check it out.
Nomad ftw Midget Nomads being forced to fight off regular Nomads and you at once felt good. I wanna play as a Vault Hunter Nomad in BL4
>gearbox: "haha funni game about magik vault" >Also gearbox: "Yeah bandits have massive involuntary breeding chambers"
Properly well done m8. Great fucking job. I hope this is highly monetized for you
Only thing you missed were the Floaters, but then they weren't so much "enemies" as "Random living environmental effect." Otherwise, all solid. And yeah, a video on the bosses would be a welcome edition to this series!
what are floaters
I hope you eventually do this with Borderlands 3
That was painful, and great at the same time. It made me laugh here and there. It was like reminiscing the fun, pain and pleasure of the old games. Kind of made me want to go back and play them again. Sadly, I have Borderlands 1 on CD and have no way of loading into my computer. Remember games on CD? yeah, I'm that old.
I appreciate the watch! Yeah I had battlefield 3 on games for Windows Live and couldn't play it after they shut the service down, RIP CD games for PC ahahaha
Loved the vid but you missed ambush commanders😂
23:39 is that the borderlands 2 reborn infinity pistol I see there. mad respect
My favorite enemy were all the loaders. I really loved them and was very disappointed that there are almost none in BL3. But yeah, the story was also kind of disappointing so no loss there lol
loaders are cool but surveyors on the other hand are hell spawn
Fun fact about the threshers: they are an invasive species to pandora from its moon elpis and its thanks to hammerlocke having one irresponsibly smuggled off moon
for me the spring stalkers are the most annoying stalkers because they jump at you and deal knockback and it sucks to deal with them even when im like 13 levels higher than them
You should definitely do one of these on the pre sequel as well. I know I'll get hate for this but i think the pre sequel is one of the best most balanced experiences in borderlands
The scythid being related to horses is a joke about the beta of the original borderlands where they looked extremely different looking like insectoid horses or wolves
There are also hyperion personal in bl1, in the claptrap Assassin dlc
I can't help but find it staggeringly unfair that nomads can dual wield weapons by default but gunzerkers have to activate a limited-duration ability manually to do so.
they are just simply built different
cool video i like it!
Not gonna talk about the amount of xp the guardians give 😂😂😂. This was a great video you definitely got a sub from me
yeah i was perplexed when i got 2k xp per kill ahaha, thanks man i really appreciate it!
And hammerlock introduced threshers to pandora wildlife from a mission from the pre sequel
are you gonna do a separate video on the pre sequel or are you one of the people who just ignore it's existence
Rakks are just more modern cliffrunners Ya know The things from Morrowind.
Hopefully one for borderlands 3 comes out.I love the maliwan dogs
Ugh, the badass pyre threshers are a pain in the ass.
Was hoping for at least one reference during the bullymong section to them being "Bonerfarts" until you complete that quest. Because if you hang on to it long enough, they will just be called that for the majority of the game.
Bro this took time and dedication. Thank you sir. Your the only one with a good video on this subject
it's missing a few variation of military from the lilith post-story dlc and those lsd-laced manic vision that are the creepers
You should do the other 2 games ( boarderlands per sequel ) and boarderlanders 3
Hey Majie I love you !
one thing about the Threshers. as of the Pre Sequel it's Hammerlock's fault because they aren't native to Pandora.
The scythids used to scare the hell out of me
Funfact, in tps its shown hammerlocke is the reason threshers are on pandora, they are native to the moon
Mothrakk and son of mothrakk should be in the rakk category
"there's no female bandits" BL3: yeah about that. 💀
skags are basically mutated dog things with bits of like 3 other animals, likely owls cuz of the mouth being both its mouth and ass, and the other two animal bits being likely some alien shid
Idk if amyone said this but in the nox fight you encounter a badass devastator and its definitely not the same looking as a normal devastator Its bigger and more badass looking
"Midget goliath " that sounds like a oxymoron
