Chaos a hermaphrodite?

[ReloadPsi]

So I was fighting Chaos on DoS again, with a slightly different party setup to what I normally use (I swapped one Red Mage for one White Mage, essential in the DoS version as Chaos has 20,000 HP instead of 2,000) when I noticed that the cute little metallic flashes appearing over the enemy as I attacked were pointing out something very odd.



The red square is essential: Without it you wouldn't see what I was pointing out. Isn't that clever?

Chaos appears to be giving birth to a bird, although Garland was definitely male before transforming into this thing. I'm sure people have noticed it before but discuss anyway.

It's a face with a beak. What does that have to do with a hermaphrodite?

And how does a male give birth without a vagina?

[Flying Mullet]

He's not giving birth, it's part of his body.

[ReloadPsi]

Equally freaky. Well in that case, to retroactively answer your question yet again, in the majority of languages that use the word hermaphrodite, or have their own word for it, it also seems to mean hybrid.

He's not giving birth to anything its part of his character design, look at his knees they have faces coming out of them.

NO HE IS GIVING BIRTH!

[Rengori]

YES, ALL DEMON OVERLORDS GIVE BIRTH TO BIRDS DURING THE MOST CLIMACTIC PART OF THE GAME.

It seems to be on the wrong part on the body anyway......Or maybe I just missed this part of demon health class.

"It's not X because it's the character's design" is a poor argument, in my opinion. If you saw a drawing of someone with a sword through his head, would you say "No, he doesn't have a sword through his head, it's part of the character design"? :p

You failed to read the rest of my statement. Are you saying his KNEES are giving birth as well?

[Fatal Impurity]

It's his custom ball cap...

YES! :D

It's his character design. He looked the same in the NES version* (although obviously not of that high quality). I mean really.

*Although the beaked face looks more like a dragon or snake:

Now there's someone I wouldn't want violating my posterior. Ouch, man!
