Have y'all noticed how common this non-human skull is in rdr2. It's like an ape with a small brow and tusks. Pig men in lemoyne.

As far as I can tell, they're skulls of adult chimpanzees, but bigger.

They would have to be some monster sized chimps to be larger than a human skull. Their brain seems to be pretty large too.

u/CMDR_CrobaR_o7 Dec 12 '18

There were many different sizes of apes. if you google 'great apes' you can find some decently large chimp skulls, orangutan skulls, and others too.

Maybe swollen instead of outright large

Possibly alluding to the Skunk Ape legend from Florida and Louisiana?

they are bear skulls look up a pic

Definitely not bear skulls, the hole behind the cheekbone is where the jaw muscle comes through and attaches to the back of the head and it's much more flush with the rest of the skull than a Bear's. It's also way less oblong, and the hole above the mouth where the sinus is is much, much larger than what's in the game.

A bear's skull is also much more oblong, especially near the corner of the jaw (these are more square, a bear's is more elongated and sloped). The nose hole where the sinus lives is also much, much larger on a bear's skull. A bear's eyes are smaller and spaced further apart as well, along with a lack of the primate skull's signature brow. Look up a picture of a chimpanzee skull, it's nearly identical. And for a game that takes so much care into even making the behavior of it's wildlife accurate, let alone what they look like, I think they wouldn't make inaccurate skull models.

You guys need to quit disturbing the Murfree brood burial grounds.

Let these ugly souls rest.

There's also one in the burned school house on the shelf in Ft. Riggs.

u/freeSantana_freeTayk Dec 12 '18

do they ever go into detail about what happened there?

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '18

It's on the mantle in a house nearby too. The pile is in Lakay. here

Winner winner

u/MuddleofPud69 Dec 12 '18

I’m going to guess it’s Bigfoot skulls. Which would explain why there is only one in RDR1.

u/LEEH1989 Dec 12 '18

There's more than one in undead nightmare

u/cross-eye-bear Dec 12 '18

Briefly.

They're still wild in tall trees, male and females

Thems be those Murphee boyz.

u/Degma Dec 13 '18

Bigfoot references possibly? They have done it the last few games.

Those are the skulls of racist slavers.

u/CreamyDingleberry Dec 21 '18

That's the skull structure of someone from Butcher Creek. If you'd listened to the lecture on phrenology you'd understand.

u/solidslipperysnake Dec 12 '18

Looks Like a Neanderthal skull

u/CrystalKU Dec 12 '18

Where’s the pile located?

What if they're the same chimps you see in that one mission in Gta V with michael were jimmy feeds you drugs and then right before you get abducted by aliens, you get surrounded by chimps

u/GloriousHam Dec 12 '18

Reusing an asset. Let's not look too far into literally everything.

35

u/mrmatthunt Dec 12 '18

That’s the entire point of the sub.

So if we figure out it’s a reused asset, boom, mystery solved.

20

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '18

What do you mean re-using. It's a completely unexplained pig man skull that's all over the place?

u/spamshield Dec 12 '18

Google chimpanzee skull. That is what it is.

6

u/Joaf Dec 12 '18

Or Bigfoot

7

u/bigwillyb123 Dec 12 '18

So... why is it there?

13

u/spamshield Dec 12 '18

Voodoo/hoodoo, spiritualistic reasons. Saint Denis is pretty much New Orleans, an area where this was practiced. It’s nothing more than an ape skull and they are plentiful in the game.

u/GloriousHam Dec 12 '18

You just answered your own question. Seriously, everyone needs to stop looking into every little thing like it's a piece to some grand Easter egg.

u/n02cheli PS4 Dec 12 '18

Dude u suck

u/GloriousHam Dec 12 '18

Nah. Thinking something as benign as a fork's position on a table sucks.

That's the equivalent to this.

It's about looking into credible shit. I watched what Chiliad became. This sub is already well on it's way.

Cluttering it with useless bullshit benefits no one.

3

u/Senpai_Kushy Dec 12 '18

Unfortunately I have to agree; I was part of the Chiliad Mystery from the very beginning and that sub eventually devolved into inane bullshit and literally pages and pages of personal theories that went far beyond anything that Rockstar even dreamt of to put in their games. Suffice to say this sub is well on its way to being the same.

u/GoingByTrundle Dec 13 '18

Look at what sub you're in, you peanut.

u/GloriousHam Dec 13 '18

I love everyone calling me an idiot for pointing out how useless this fucking post is.

Keep getting carried away with it dickheads. That won't turn this sub into a trash heap real quick. It's not like there's a frame of reference for that or anything already.
