The Thing's new key

[Numbersguy]

Hello, thanks for passing by

I finished The Thing's videogame, and The Thing at the end has a form that is actually pretty big

As you can see, it is easily several dozen meters tall

Would this create another key or you think it won't?

Alright, so I "sorta" took that into account with the recent revision and there are two major issues with giving the Thing mulitiple keys.

First would be that the Thing varies so much in form that to cover even extreme varients would grant the Thing more keys then Ichigo. It's easier just to give the Thing a variable tier and state the range like it currently does. Besides, that would already be covered by "potentially higher via assimilation".

The second issue though, and why I didn't just give the Thing 9-A in my revision, is that unless that one body was actually multiple bodies all scrunched down and compact then that scene actually contridicts how the Thing normally works aka not creating new mass outta nowhere.

tldr A second key is unnessasary because the variations are covered with a variable tier and that game is bad and contrictory, same reason I don't use anything from Eternal Vows. Hope that helps.

You aren't right though, when The Thing that was using the dog deformed itself, it grew far bigger than the dog, and when it deforms using a human, it becomes wider and slightly taller.

I mean, this is Blair/Diabeetus ... this is Diabeetus-Thing all deformed. See? It got taller and bigger.

Plus, the game states that the dude that turned was experimented on a whole awful lot and there are hundreds of people infected in the game with, considering that Blair-Thing became bigger with just a few people assimilated... just imagine how much DNA the final boss Thing has by the end of the game.

Actually you're not remembering correctly. Blair thing grabed and assimilted Gary before revealing itself and that form doesn't look too far off from roughly the mass of two people. As for the dog thing, it's possible it had already, mostly assimilated another dog before hand, or at least supplimented it's mass before we see it again. Reguadless, no other thing goes through as drastic a transformation as in that game hence a contridiction.

Besides my main point still stands. A second key is unnessasary because the variations are covered with a variable tier.

Ok.

So, we should add the thing inside the "variable tier"? Got the joke?

I'll be perfectly honest, I'm a bit slow so no.

It should have already been in the variable tier catagory, so I readded it.
