![]() This implies that these things are actually sentient (or at least some of them are) while Faceless aren't, a horrifying thought in itself. A Stoneborn boss in a later Birthright chapter actually has pre-battle dialogue, which is very unnerving if you don't see it coming, especially since the only dialogue Faceless bosses have is roars. ![]() And they might be even freakier there, since there's less context for them. The Stoneborn can also show up in the level grinding DLC, so you can still see them even if you're early on the Hoshido route.Heck, the face-plate itself could count for this, the realistic Mouth Of Truth gives off a huge sense of Uncanny Valley compared to the game's usual Animesque art style. They also throw the face-plate sometimes as an attack. Yes, they don't even have a face, just a huge gaping cavity. Their method of attacking enemies is by hurling rocks, but they don't thow them: they launch them out of a cavity on their head, usually covered by their Mouth Of Truth face-plate. The Nohrian equivalent are Stoneborn, who are supposed to be stone Golems brought to life by magic, but in practice move more like a Blob Monster, with their bodies contorting in unnerving ways.If you're playing Birthright, you can use these as My Castle defenses too. Should you land a killing blow on one its character portrait in the damage forecast shows the face cracking. Engage it in combat however, and its face splits in half and a buzzsaw springs out to attack you while it wheels around stiffly. In chapter 17 of Conquest you'll come face-to-face with the Automaton enemy, which appears to be a small, unassuming (if not uncomfortably realistic looking) wooden puppet in the shape of a small child.Luckily, this happens only if you're playing Classic Mode or on your last unit in Casual Mode. More mundane than some other examples, but Fire Emblem Fates is the first in the series to change the battle theme if one of your characters is likely to die in the ensuing fight, and the music in question consists of "Psycho" Strings.I AM THE FORGOTTEN GOD!
