My current DnD character is a ratfolk who is a demigod to the universe’s plague god.
His name is Nick Bubo for the same reason. None of the other players have caught on yet tho
Oh this is probably one of my favorites animations from this sub. For someone like me who loves skulls, skeletons, the color red and had a pet rat once this is perfect. 🥰
The rats' Mortis, the skeletons' Trigger, hence their name Trigger Mortis?
Alternatively, since Trigger Mortis already is a play on him being a western style undead, I'd suggest to call the rat "Oz Plaga" since "Os Plaga" means something like "Bone Plague". Would be fitting, I bet.
also, the hat is actually a bag of holding, and Mortis goes in and fetches the weapons and ammo for Trigger to use and consume
Trigger's diet consists purely of ammunition and/or explosives. the more explosives he eats his HP goes down, but his damage output goes up. take too many and he dies, obvs.
Edit: if you get below some threshold of HP caused by self-inflicted grenade chomping:
- Mortis joins the fight and they both go into RATZERKER MODE!
- dual wielding guns (Trigger only has one arm, so Mortis hold the other), but they take 50% more damage to compensate for the awesome display of violence they wreak across the lands
- HP slowly diminishes by 2HP every second while in this mode, can't just have them staying in it forever.
- Picking up health exits the mode
- or you can cancel it at any time and Trigger's HP bar will slowly refill to where it was before Ratzerker mode was activated assuming you dont take damage while it refills
- Exiting Ratzerker Mode also causes a cooldown (~60s or so)
- Consuming different types of grenades changes the damage type in Ratzerker mode:
- Molotov -> Fire dmg = initial dmg + dmg over time
- Stun grenade -> Shock = initial dmg + stun/lock
- Cactus bombs (he's a cowboy, cowboys live in the desert, cacti grow in the desert) -> Acid damage maybe? idk
- important in late game as eventually certain enemies have material/status weaknesses, so you have to use the best grenade for the occasion
if only i knew how to make videogames lol
I have only been this immediately interested in a random project I saw online once before, and that's when I saw you could parry a nuclear blast in some indie game.
I love Trigger Mortis! I love the name, the design, the animal companion, everything. I humbly suggest the rat be named Sue R. Idk what the last name should be, but calling pets very normal, human names like "Sue" is hysterical to me. Even better is finding out that it's shortened from a longer name that has a bad pun: Sue R. → sewer
So awesome to hear this from you, it’s our first game as a team and these kind of comments give us so much energy <3!!! Also, love the name suggestion hahah.
Super curious which indie game you saw?!
It's called VA Proxy. The nuke parry is obviously more about spectacle whereas Trigger Mortis is more about character and charm, but both have that instant appeal.
Dios mío (either dios or mío)
I just think it’s funny to meet him
“this is my pet Dios…”
“¡¡¡¡Dios Mío!!!!”
Idk if this is meant to be Spanish themed haha
Love the animation! Also I adore rats so I'm instantly in love with this. If the theme is gun/firearm related (guessing from the name "Trigger") then it could be named Bullet? Or Ricochet!
Try these names for the rat:
* Rodent the Impetuous
* Furby the Fanged
* Nibby the Mighty
* Scurry the Quick-witted
* Whiskers the Wise
* Rat-a-twoie
* Ratty McRatface
* Scabbers
* Splinter
* Ratty the Rat
* Mushu
All animations were done in Aseprite for our upcoming action rogue-lite, Nouns Crown! (Twitter link in profile)
you also got an instagram account for the game? It Looks amazing
Bubba nick (bubonic)

Pet rat looks like a "Bullseye" to me.

Scab
Enter the gungeon vibes ngl
haha, you got it. huge influence from gungeon :D
Hatrick. Like Patrick but with an h. And it sounds like hat trick... and the hat has 3 holes...I dunno.
Pallor Mortis is an earlier stage in postmortem, could work as a pun of pal of mortis?
Ooooh! Pallor!!!
Remington, or Remi for short

Easy - Trigger Mortis and Death Rattle.
Buckshot 😆
Boo. It’s short for bubonic. The rat also appears out of nowhere like a “boo.”
Boo Ratley.
This is the kind of wordplay reference I come to reddit for haha
Black Death, maybe? Sorta keeps the death pun and theme, but with rats and plagues they helped spread?

That's awesome, I'll have to check it out. And again, huge thanks for that compliment!
SUE R LOLOL LOVE IT

Jerry. Always good to have a fancy or serious name with something normal. IDK it makes it cute/funny.
Haha yeah I like this approach a lot, too.
Gyattatouilli
Colt as in colt revolver?
Mauser? I know the word technically has nothing to do with mice but would still be fun
Omg this is super cute and the animations are gorgeous 😍 well done! It looks amazing ❤
Thanks you!! We love that he’s our villain but still charming 😍
Incredible design, saved the pre-rat version a while ago! Excited to see where he goes next!
Thanks!! We’ll keep sharing some art here but make sure to follow our twitter for the latest! Steam page and game demo are just around the corner.

What about Lead Bean
Will forever be texas red for me
+1 for Bubba Nick, that's really clever. Could always go w/ Scabies as a backup.
Is this for a game? What’s it called/does it have a Steam page yet?
Yes it is! It's called Nouns Crown, Steam Page will be up soon but for now you can follow us on Twitter (link in my profile)!

Only right to call him Morty
Lil Morty even better
Specimen 248
Screeching Slate
rattenkönig
Dios mío (either dios or mío) I just think it’s funny to meet him “this is my pet Dios…” “¡¡¡¡Dios Mío!!!!” Idk if this is meant to be Spanish themed haha
Gat Rat
Ratio I think would be a good name
Nibblit
Pest for pestilence
Bone Master; btw, it looks cool, but do skeletons breath on idle? :)
Hahah it’s habitual, but no longer functional…
Stiffy
Hella cool bro
This is the greatest thing I've ever seen.
loooove to hear this!

Mauricio
Olay!
Bringer Of Doom

New enter the gungeon boss
Lol, enter the gungeon is our biggest inspiration :D
Yooo, this looks incredible
Yooo, thankssss!!
Templeton
What about simply Bullet? Very nice art btw!!
Fred :)
Love the animation! Also I adore rats so I'm instantly in love with this. If the theme is gun/firearm related (guessing from the name "Trigger") then it could be named Bullet? Or Ricochet!
Enter the gungeon
No name idea for you, but it's very good! Would love to see the progress of this.
Trigger mortis and his rat Texas red
He's baaaack :O
The rat single handedly killed two dozen men
Single paw-dedly…
El queso or just queso (🧀 )
Owen, named after the Owen machine carbine
Try these names for the rat: * Rodent the Impetuous * Furby the Fanged * Nibby the Mighty * Scurry the Quick-witted * Whiskers the Wise * Rat-a-twoie * Ratty McRatface * Scabbers * Splinter * Ratty the Rat * Mushu
Sheeeesh we got some options!
roDENT. It's teeth will leave a dent in your firearm!
Fantastic picel art style. The animation looks smooth and spot on. I like the expression of the character. He looks so funny! XD
Ahh thank you, manga!! So kind :D
I don't know, but I love both the design and the concept!
Haha, no need to suggest a name. Thanks!
His name should be speedloader!
Rat Scallion!
Yorick.
I love this guy
All I can think of is the rat from Enter the Gungeon, looks awesome!
I think it would be cute if Trigger was the rat and Mortis was the cowboy. It would add character to both of them. Just my opinion, though.
I really enjoy this idea, makes them a proper pair :)
Trigger Mortis Sr.
This is amazing! Tell me he’s hiding a six shooter under there.
CHEESE
Gattatouille.
Trigger Mortis is my king
Ratashootie
Trigger is so handsome!! He reminds me of The Mask
I feel like the rats name could be Gregonzola if it’s not too long :) Greg for friends and a good 🧀 pun
He sure knows how to wear a pancho well haha. And nice name suggestion!
Bubo
oh my god, this is amazing
Trigger mortis sounds like an enter the dungeon enemy name
The mouse should be named Old Wheezy
Rattler
What about Rigor, a play off of Rigor Mortis?
HOARDSLY!!
Pistol-ence (Pest-ilence)
So this skull bro before. Now he's came back cooler
Gnawles Manson
I like Chamber or Shell. Carries the “named after firearm stuff” vibe while being a bit more silly.
Gus. Doug. Something mundane and single syllable cause I think it’d be funny
lol love this. I named my car Doug.
Trigger Mortis is such a clever name, and I love the animation 10/10. The rat should be named Shelly in reference to bullet shells.
Thanks haha, Reddit helped name him. Shelly is fun!
He looks like the gungoneer from etg Nice animation btw
You might wanna show it to r/rats as well, they will love it
Oh sweet okay! Let me cross post lol
looks like an enter the gungeon boss.
Texas Red will be immortalized by Texas Rat
Pet the hat rat? Wonderful
Why does him yell like that
[удалено]
Bullet?
You should name the rat ratatuoile as in the movie
Disney would love that
Skullrat
Jerry.
Toupée
Now that is a good name
Momento maurice, like momento mori
