The Goon (1999) #2

[encyav]

I'm a Joo-Joo fan but I also enjoy the Goon. The concept of a ghoul having human-level self-awareness, intelligence and cognitive thinking is a great addition to Slugterra lore. Ghoul From Beyond both was cool and freaked me out as a kid but also made me invested in what this could mean for the lore.

Has anyone talked about he can actually do because I think it's incredible:

Has insane general knowledge of a lot of things

Can ghoul slugs using his magic; or literal physical contact with another slug

When transformed, he doesn't need to use magic, grabbing them works as well (can be done also to the Elementals which is cracked)

Mind control people and use them as a host/puppet that will never tire, age, or die

Also can heal said host of any injury including broken bones, internal bleeding almost instantly

Senses the ghouling process

Read minds

Detect literal life force of people so that he knows whether they're alive/dead

Communicate via telepathy (idk what range, but apparently mental projection/via telepathy + he knows English and can speak English)

I'm calling him the Corruptor as well in my headcanons, so if anyone sees me say the Corruptor I mean this lil guy

I headcanon the Emperor's Underlords call him that as a formal title. Him with possessed Junjie is referred to as the Dark Slinger, just him is the Corruptor.

Also don't forget how he was once a Guardian of the Eastern Gate keeping the Emperor at bay, that part of his lore is so angsty I could dissect it in an essay
