Did Anything About Chao Creep You Out?

Post by PrincessPeach »

Back when I played this as a kid, when the chao would throw tantrums, it creeped me out. For one, I didn't like the crying noise, and two, I thought it was because the Chao were spoiled, or something was wrong. It only seemed to happen in hero garden though. That stupid principal had me paranoid about spoiled Chao, so I would hit my Chao after a tantrum. (Don't arrest me for capital punishment, Chao police!)

Also it seems like if I haven't played Chao in a while, the thought of Chao creep me out, though once I get into the game again, I'm fine.

Was there anything about Chao that creep/creeped you guys out?

once my game glitched when I was messing with camera angles and the game froze inside a Chao's head. Disembodied eyes floating in a white background... it was a white monotone :/

I had two Chao evolve into the Swim type yesterday. While I'm delighted about it, It sort of slants their eyes slightly to make them more fish like. One of the Chao also happened to have that infamous toothy grin. I still think he's cute, but man...look head on at him and he's like a Chao piranha.

Mm. Yeah when I first did a high level swim race (and had never raised a neutral swim before) I was taken aback at how the head shape made their eyes and mouths look different.

On another note, I recently noticed on SADX, my Chao ( or an animal?) keeps making this disgruntled "mm-mmmm!" noise that I've never heard on SA2. It's a lityle freaky, because I cannot figure out which Chao is doing it and why.

^One suggestion I can make: Look at what skills are taught by the SA1-exclusive animals.

More on topic, considering my first exposure to Chao was when SADX first came out during the summer I was sixteen(and closer to seventeen since my birthday is in October), I suspect I was already desensitized to most things by then.

I'd have to say when a Chao starts trying to do something like dance around or whatever it was or mock your character. It gave me the most terrified feeling ever. XD

When I was quite young, I managed to fall out of bounds from the Dark garden whilst holding a chao. The chao fell into an invisible body of water and starting thrashing around and moving at hyper speed while my camera glitched out. It honestly terrified me, and I was scared to go back into the garden for weeks lol.

I once tried the reincarnation ritual in the blood pond instead of on land, ya know the one where you get an egg and put 10 chaos drives around it in a circle to make the last chao that died hatch from that egg? Well the game glitched out & when my chao hatched it went under the floor where I couldnt see `em but it was still able to do stuff like shake trees for food, turn on the tv/radio & other stuff it used to do. It was like there was a ghost in the garden!! ~(x,×~)

A while ago, I was trying to make the cutest chao ever with Fusion's editor. I saw the 'pacifier' option and I instantly thought "Oh my gosh, he will look so cute!"



Turns out that it makes the chao's head invisible.

I was startled when I realized while playing SA:DX that the fourth wall was a tangible object by accidentally pushing a chao that couldn't swim into the water with it.

The closest thing that creeps me out is being aware that the end of its life is near and knowing it's gonna happen at any moment and so I keep waiting with baited breath...

The death cocoon freaked me out, especially since I was young and didn't know what was happening to my Chao until it was too late to stop it.

Every time my chao evolved, i always worried that I wouldn't care for it enough before it evolved again, or dies. but whenever i try to keep my chaos happy, i worry i might be spoiling them too much. :herocry: :chaocry: :darkcry:

One time when I was using tiny chao garden without Sonic Advance and when I was going to put it back.... a message appeared. It said "data not saved." and It speaks for it self. Data was not saved. I tried putting my chao back and the same message appeared! I tried leaving the chao garden and... "data not saved". I thought this was a memory card that was not read error, but It showed my emblems so I didn't know what to do. I turned of my gamecube and later that day I loaded up chao garden and everything worked fine. That terrified me because I at first thought that was a corrupted file error, but when it loaded emblems I stopped worrying.

Thank Goodness! I don't want to lose my 4000+ hour file! :sway:

When Chao "explode", meaning when they look all crazy and glitched.
Like this:

This applies to me in every game with these types of glitches, i have a weird phobia of them, i thing of spiders crawling around when i see them and it freaks me out.
It's fine when it's only mildly glitched, like with my Chao that i posted on Chao Studios (forgot it's name, was on my other computer.)

But anything more extreme creeps me out to the MAX.

(Regular chao world only, no extended for my creepy thing)

the bit of chao that creep me out is that they never talk to each other and only interact when playing music with each other and doing stuff like watching TV together or watching each other sing.
