Tower beast
This page covers subject that was only seen in the Scorn artbook. While not used for the game, the subject's information may be canon to the game's lore.
The Tower beast (unofficial name) is a behemoth-like creature residing the Tower.[1]
Overview
This beast is the source of delivering endless torrents of meat-like vats and endlessly birthing deformed creatures with its ever-growing bulk over its body, while wallowing in pain. Its main body was located at the arching top of the Tower, with the rest of its body takes over the entire location from its prison wall down through the building.
Feeding the beast's expanding growths through a grinder is required to clear a path forward.[1]
Physical characteristics
It is an enormous sludge-covered creature with a body the size of a tunnel boring machine, as it fills up the whole building, where some of the bulk is channeled into a grinder. Its head is swollen and has a long elephant-like trunk, with its body sporting thick yet useless appendages.[1]
Development notes
- The beast's trunked head is designed after an antique gas mask.[1]
- The beast's design from the concept art may bear some resemblance to the Space Jockey's corpse seen in the 1979 science-fiction horror film Alien.
- The beast was intended to appear in Scorn. However, the Tower location, along with the beast itself, was dropped during production prior to the game's release. It was due to the fact that the Tower's concept bear too much close resemblance to the Crater, with the Tower beast being similar to the Crater queen as both are massive immobile creatures doomed to give birth to an endless amount of offspring.[1]
