Enjay Posted November 7, 2008 This is something that I have been wondering about for some time now. Where does the character Massmouth come from? I don't mean which planet or anything. I mean who invented him and what did he originally feature in? Originally, I thought it was all down to Cyb. However, over the years, I've found a few references to Massmouth in a number of apparently unrelated, or loosely related, places (sometimes nothing to do with Doom at all) and with Massmouth stuff by different authors. So, what's the skinny? 0 Share this post Link to post
MasterOFDeath Posted November 7, 2008 According to The Doom wiki, "The design of Massmouth comes from a Quake 2 player model created by Stephen "Neuralstasis" Monteith." The Planet Quake link on that page is bad, here's an updated one. 0 Share this post Link to post
lupinx-Kassman Posted November 7, 2008 Although I am not sure, I always thought the original Massmouth came from this model by Stephen Monteith. I found several other models which are used as sprites in Massmouth 2 as well, such as this and this. I remember more..but the site seems to be a little borked at the moment. Of course you may have already seen all of that =P. EDIT: Masterofdeath beat me =o. 0 Share this post Link to post

Enjay Posted November 7, 2008 I was aware of the quake model, but wasn't sure if it came before or after the Doom mod. I'd also considered the Yorp as a possible source of inspiration/an ancestor, but found nothing to say for definite whether it was a genuine link or merely a coincidental look alike. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted November 7, 2008 I doubt it's coincidental, except perhaps in being subconsciously inspired. The main difference is that Massmouth has arms, but it should need them to wield a weapon. 0 Share this post Link to post

Enjay Posted November 7, 2008 And the text file probably gives as much of a clue to Massmouth's origin as we are likely to get This character was originally full character made by me in Lightwave 3d 5.6 0 Share this post Link to post
