Gyroid Theory

[BluebellLight]

So I thought up an interesting theory about gyroids.
Every gyroid is different, and has their own sound/look/name, but some are more similar than others (gyroid families)
What if, whenever someone in an animal crossing town dies, whether it be an animal or human, what if they save a bone or organ and mummify it in a gyroid that symbolizes the personality of that person/animal. Obviously they show up when it rains because the soil erodes away and the gyroids become uncovered.

So basically you're digging up dead people with a twist.
Feel free to share your thoughts!

WHAT IN THE WORLD????????????????

From what I understand, gyroids are not remains but tributes to the dead, right? I may be getting mixed up here, but I do know they're tied to death somehow, I just forget how.

Interesting theory, though.

You're correct! Gyroids are based on haniwa, clay figures that were buried with the dead. I believe that their Japanese name is just haniwa, and Lloid is called Haniwa-kun. Speaking of which, what exactly does this make Lloid anyway? And Coco for that matter? Haha.

So, in the end, you are digging up a grave and stealing from it at the very least.

I just put my own little spin on it with the whole creating one based on your personality...i'd never heard that part before but someone may have well thought of it.

I think he was referring to the actual connection, not yours. I do like yours though

 

[BluebellLight]

Oh haha yeah I know the concept itself is nothing new but its still interesting

 

[420blazeityoloswag4jesus]

looks similar too o.o

 

[Pickles]

I actually had NO idea what gyroids were based on. Which explains why they're so freaking creepy, I guess. LOL

 

[french toast]

We can have a gyroid face in the original if we reset the game from someone else's town.

A subtle way of saying the character died/voided because they didn't reset from home. The face effect is only temporary.

 

[Kildor]

Yeah. Kinda already new about this. But why is their selling price A FIXED 828 BELLS?!There has got be something signifacant with this number. Also,number 4 is a number for death in japan guys.

 

[Bulbadragon]

Does anyone else remember the horror story that someone based on Wild World? The gyroids were a big part of the story. It gets creepier and creepier as it goes along.

I found the story. You can read it here. (Warning, it has strong language.)

Keep in mind that T&T and Re-Tail offers different sell prices. At T&T, they sell for 662.

I don't think she's an actual villager in the games, but it would be cool to make a horror town based on that. I would probably do that if I got a second copy of the game.
