I hear all this stuff about how warpers are nothing but a pain in the tush, but personally, I've always liked them. I feel about them like an old, wise man might feel about death: I fear them, but because of this, I also respect them. Like a thunderstorm, they can scare you, yet they are impressive and, frankly, beautiful. There's something just so unimaginably cool about them, that it makes it impossible for me to hate them. When I left the planet, I felt respect for them. To quote The Tale of the Three Brothers, it was like: "and then he greeted death as an old friend, went with him gladly, and, as equals, they departed from this life." I have a certain reverence for them, and no amount of deaths of players to them can change that.

I'm beginning to regret posting this.
Me: Running from a Crabsquid, in pure terror, Arachnophobia in 9999% overdrive.
Headlights are still on, crabsquid screaming (likely in pain from the light).
We are both rampaging around this cavern, screaming in duo, harmonizing if you would, the plankton are just embarrassed.
Warper: "Gerba lurk durch bach nib..." (Translation: What if I just...)
Me: Sudden confusion, treading water, 900m down.
Crabsquid equally confused.
Me: Realizes flashlight is on.
Crabsquid squeels.
Me: Has small heart attack and falls out of my chair.

"You look like you could use some coffee.
Warper: "Yerp der boop."
