Mindflayer Ultrakill - Blog Posts

[Start ID. A drawing of a Mindflayer and a Streetcleaner from Ultrakill, which the artist refers to as Radium and Burnet respectively, talking in a mall which is in no way canon-compliant. The palette is relatively saturated, dark, and eclectic, biased towards a reddish purple. Radium is dressed in a teal blazer, jeans, a studded belt and silver jewelry, and they hold up an unpurchased black shirt to Burnet: an anatomically correct heart and the word "SOUL" are partly visible on the front of the tee, printed red. They appear to ask if they should buy the shirt for a Mannequin friend. Burnet, in nothing but a sun-embroidered pair of overalls and a gold piercing through zier dragon-like frill, seems to love the idea, gesturing with zier hand excitedly. The two of them are standing in a dark store which is most analogous to Hot Topic; a puppet employee handles shirts to the right side of the image, including one with the artist's diagetic signature. Among the mall's stores are numerous parodies of and references to Ultrakill itself, along with sights such as a gathering of post-shopping Virtues and an enraged Mindflayer chasing down a fleeing V1.

That is a great point.

Maybe I'll see if I can make a feedback post on the Legacy ULTRAKILL Discord server about this and see if "male" and "female" can be changed to "masculine" and "feminine" in a hotfix update. That could get fewer people to use the genders as adjectives.

Then again, it might be too minor an improvement to suggest since it is likely not worth the time and effort at this point.

can we please god not call them male mindflayers im gonna rip you all to shreds

In their defense, the Mindflayer's Terminal entry refers to their forms as "female" and "male," so they are just using the latter as a prefix since that is how they're described.

Also, immediately wanting to rip people to pieces for this sort of thing is not exactly a good mindset to go by.

In the newest update for ULTRAKILL, there is now a 1/51% chance for a masculine Mindflayer variant to spawn, which matches up with the lore from its data entry.

Also, here is a bonus fact from Hakita himself about the Mindflayer's design:
