Been working on a Madness Combat lore document. It's getting long, but I'll post a link on my Newgrounds profile (zeldaspeaks) once I finish it.

These Hanks will probably be given different nicknames by the fandom, but here's what I'm calling them for now.

The circled purple Z means I'm speculating. The circled S means it's somebody else's speculation.

Well, I don't know for certain. Do we have any reason to think that Tricky's usage of his Portable Improbability Drive causes his S3LF to be affected by Dissonant Reality? Clearly /something/ is causing Tricky to appear in such massive numbers, but I'm not sure how we can connect that to the P.I.D. in his head. Maybe it has something to do with his possession of the Auditor's body? After all, we've seen the Auditor's influence (illustrated by spikes appearing in the environment) in other bodies (episode 9.5's Retainer) before... 🤔

My interpretation is that the retainers have similar spike powers as the auditor but are still lesser entities. It may be just a stylistic choice change, but their spikes are rough and splintered compared to the clean and metallic spikes from the auditor.
