I really like the subtle difference between G'huun's lines and the other old gods, G'huun's voice sounds raspy, has various unpleasant background noises, and is very fragmented, all of which give the idea that G'huun's barely understands the basics of speech and is more "brute forcing" it's intent with psychic powers, as opposed to the old gods who have clear, precise, and ordered voices. There's also the fact that almost all of G'huun's lines seem to be little more than it stating it's intentions, as opposed to the old gods who carefully chose words to demoralize, sway, or goad the players.
I also noted he specifically calls it "the curse of flesh" while the rest of the Old Gods (specifically N'zoth) call it a gift. I don't know the meaning behind that but I thought it interesting.
I really like how his voice changes from growls to almost high pitched whining, while companied by eerie and unpleasant sounds. Old gods and Aqir are bis.
This voice actor is Kellen Goff, without a doubt. His voice work for the Fiddlesticks rework in League of Legends is identical to this and insanely recognizable. I wouldn't be surprised if Riot Games hired him based on this very performance.
Put the Old Ones in there to. After all, just like most humanoid races from the old world, G'huun is a fail experiment of an ancient alien race and their own creations.
Love how he says "The titans cannot save you." he has no idea we've met them and that they are out of reach to helping us due to binding Sargeras to the Seat.
G'huun was a great concept but done dirty in BfA. Where the other Old Gods are cosmic horrors from the Void itself (a plane outside of our own); G'huun, is a cosmic terror born in our own plane of being. He could've been a great set up for a Void X-pac where he tries to escape from Azeroth and recklessly frees N'zoth and Yogg; however, he didn't get the chance to be a true force of horror story telling.
So I have a theory about the old gods, each one quotes an organ where they belong in you, cthun your heart will explode, yogg saron your brain, Nzoth your lungs, yssarhj your legs and ghuun your spine but I think all five were responsible for the curse of flesh and not just one.
You do realize that that is just a reference (and Y'Shaarj never mentioned anything aboit legs) they are not only being that feed off of flesh and bone, ut also terror and nightmares. And if they are crazy and evil and pure gruesome, then I wonder what the Void Lords will be like.....
@@KodokuSamaa, he's techniacally an Old God, but not fully. Like, people refer to him as an Old God and in the game you see that he is drawing on the Void's energy. But he does not have a history relating to the other Old Gods. He wasn't involved in the Black Empire (for what we know) and we know he might not be on the Void's side, BUT we don't know enough about G'huun (after all, he was technically not mentioned much in the story UNTIL Battle for Azeroth came out) to determine if he trully was an Old God or not. He might have been just a crazy beast or a regular god that the titans accidently(?) created, we don't know, so we'll have to wait until we learn more about him
@@NA-wh2hy he was an accidental creation within uldir, where the titans tried to find a cure for the corruption of the old gods. he is basically the will of corruption that became flesh. so yeah, he is an old god, though in comparison to the other three alive ones really weak and not infused in azeroth at all. probably he is even the second old god that is actually dead after y'shaarj
@@BVBFOREVERBORUSSIA , the point is, he wasn't responsible for the curse of flesh. How G'huun works is complicated, infact, how the Old gods and the void work is complicated because we don't know enough about them. When the void lords get added to the game they're basically going to be a new whole villian. G'huun was basically a whole new villian, because we weren't given enough info about them. We don't even know who the void lords trully are.
It's like Nurgle had finally succeeded in blessing a tyranid with one of his diseases, and this is the result. This old god is more like a cancer than the void old gods ever were, and they're just tools for even more powerful beings that don't whisper in your mind, they scream from within louder than a banshee being smited by holy fire.
G'Huun is a lot more stronger and scarier than people give him credit. Unlike other old gods (minus N'zoth) we were able to overcome them with brute strength but G'Huun we needed the aid of the Titan's defenses in Uldir to keep his corruption at bay. If he had gotten loose upon the world we would be F.
Dying to sickness and decay will give a true and agonizing death. This is the old god who will give you the worst death imaginable. I feel bad for G'huun who intended to live with this for all eternity. But i guess he's into this shit.
@@plague6174 Nah, G'Huun would be more fitting as a Gravemind than N'Zoth. G'Huuns minions all cant think for themself (just like the flood) while N'Zoths minions are all capable of thinking for themself and infact do so.
@@chumchuumm Ok yeah now that I read further into the lore for the past few weeks about the Old Gods, I forgot I made that comment, but yeah you're right. G'Huun is definitely more similar to Gravemind. N'Zoth is probably like.. Prophet of Truth? Idk.
@@Axiarus Must be different lore then, I remember that they came into existance because the Void Lords tried to enter the universe which failed and split of a few bit from them which then became the Old Gods.
Nah. Its good that he speaks. It would be strange if he would be the only old god that doesnt speak considering they all love whispering/talking (Ghuun being a Titanforged Old God or not doesnt matter)

because he IS a brute^^'while others try to dupe you, control you, he's just here like... nah... i'll just infect you, thks.
That’s was very well written. I noticed that it was off but I couldn’t figure out why. Thanks.
I also noted he specifically calls it "the curse of flesh" while the rest of the Old Gods (specifically N'zoth) call it a gift. I don't know the meaning behind that but I thought it interesting.
G'huun is upfront with his intentions. None of this old god whisper you to insanity nah. He's like cancer. Cancer for everyone.
So, he's like an autistic Old God then?
I love this voice he penetrate my mind on progress. The best line for me is : Feel the twitch in your spine? That is where i exist.
Agreed. I really enjoy that transition from low growls to high pitch wheezing, and those weird eerie sounds just make it better.
Officially the CREEPIEST CREATURE in wow. Yogg saron looks and sounds cute in comparison.
Yes
@@33-117 ima just leave
I guess that will happen when you try to apply logic to something as incomprehensible as Old Gods.
One of the creepiest creatures ever made for any fantasy realm
There is far creepier
WOW is full of messed up things, this is just one of them
Its obvious you dont know about warhammer
You don't consume much fantasy, do you? Lmao. Ghun is just a discount copy of shit from public domain.
For a nongrimdark fantasy, definitely. He’s like a baby Nurgle.
''The tickle in your throat, the itch in your mind, I have always been with you''
G'huun is more loyal than my ex, and they even look the same!
dude u realy had to do her like that
@@seranahoshimiya8017 slamming the ex is always okay.
@@DarkWarchieff agreed
Shots fired
God bless you brother for putting up with….her!!!!!
Praise to Grandfather Nurgle
Yes papa nugle
I really like how his voice changes from growls to almost high pitched whining, while companied by eerie and unpleasant sounds. Old gods and Aqir are bis.
I dont know why but I love his voice.
Ghuun is the dude from school who clearly got a sore throat and is sick but refuses to take something to help his throat
More like someone who has COVID but instead of isolating himself, deliberately spreads it as much a possible
@@jamiehughes5573 lmao yes when I got sick i stayed at home but played wow with my friends and just did voice impressions
This voice actor is Kellen Goff, without a doubt. His voice work for the Fiddlesticks rework in League of Legends is identical to this and insanely recognizable. I wouldn't be surprised if Riot Games hired him based on this very performance.
*Is called "the blood god" but acts more like Greatfather Nurgle*
No wonder you weren't involved in any of the Old God's schemes.
Put the Old Ones in there to. After all, just like most humanoid races from the old world, G'huun is a fail experiment of an ancient alien race and their own creations.
Feel the twitch in your spine? That is where i exist. This one is scarier than nzoth
This is terrifying!!!
Love how he says "The titans cannot save you." he has no idea we've met them and that they are out of reach to helping us due to binding Sargeras to the Seat.
i mean he probably does know about that, he is really fuckin powerful and can probably just do some psychic brain stuff and find out
Nurgle approve's
2:59 Coronavirus
Perfect
So he's the Nurgle of the Old Gods.
G'huun was a great concept but done dirty in BfA. Where the other Old Gods are cosmic horrors from the Void itself (a plane outside of our own); G'huun, is a cosmic terror born in our own plane of being.

1:56 Pestilence!
The concept art makes ghuun way creepier than thebin game model
huh, I had no idea Blizzard made Rosie O Donnel a raid boss
GenericUsername Damn 😂

G'huun isn't even an official Old God. Or atleast not a natural one. He's created, by accident.

when you realize he is basically a child compared to the adult Old Gods
These black dots ARE it's eyes people, it's based on an insectroid larvae. i got no idea which as bugs don't have 8 legs!
I don't think it's meant to be based on any specific larvae, I could be wrong though.
@@3DTyrant It seems to be an amalgam, with the maggots ontop, beetle like horns & mandibles and the bleeding heart fungus pattern.
0:37 and 90% of the LFR raid gets feared
Tremor totem ftw
Nurgle would be proud of this creation
Sir please wear your mask before talking in front of elderly G'Hunn😷
Wow's Nurgle
For papa nurgul
I loved the nazmir ark leading up to uldir and ghun.
G'huun would be proud with the current state of affairs in the world.
is G'huun underrated or no?
G'Huun is a lot more stronger and scarier than people give him credit.

G'Huun: This world is mine!
N'Zoth behidn him: What did you say little girl?
I can't believe this guy is single.
The more STD's the more attractive ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
This is a good asmr /blessed
That voice reminds me of Oblivion from TUROK.
Chuck Baker damn I remember that game!!
What a great game!
One of the most disgusting, and awesome artificially created old ones I have seen. His voice even makes me creeped out.
he is so fucking cool, bc he is extremely terrifyihg and creepy and has very good lines and an awesome voice
Decade 2020 in a nutshell, here. Love the voice work.
Dying to sickness and decay will give a true and agonizing death. This is the old god who will give you the worst death imaginable. I feel bad for G'huun who intended to live with this for all eternity. But i guess he's into this shit.
G'thuun is essentially the gravemind(the flood)
Nah N'Zoth is. The only similarity between g'huun and gravemind is their representation of rot and decay.
If you saw the Dark Young alongside of G'huun, that means he is a reference of Shub'nigurath
@@plague6174 Nah, G'Huun would be more fitting as a Gravemind than N'Zoth. G'Huuns minions all cant think for themself (just like the flood) while N'Zoths minions are all capable of thinking for themself and infact do so.

cute
he sounds like a flood a gravemind I WILL GRIND YOUR BONES TO DUST I AM PREPARED
Man, I didn't realize how much the VA here took inspiration from Fiddlesticks. Definitely a good choice IMO, Kellen Goff is a fucking goat.
The titans made g’huun, and the void lords made the old gods, this is weird
What is weird
And both of them(Void Lords and Titans) didn't want to actually create them (Old Gods and G'Huun)!
@@Axiarus Must be different lore then, I remember that they came into existance because the Void Lords tried to enter the universe which failed and split of a few bit from them which then became the Old Gods.
@@Axiarus WoW lore at its finest: Confusing and speaking against itself.
Necronpariah 123 they tried to enter the universe, but are to powerful to do so, so they created the old gods to find and corrupt world souls
2:59
*The Outbreak Has Begun!*
Imagine we go into like the emerald dream or something and G'huuns bacterium rot thing jumps out of us and runs away
This was really cool but all I can think when listening to it's voice is "Nope, fuckin' hate that" and that is perfect for an Old God
G'huun reminds me of Ramsey Campbell's Glaaki of the Cthulhu Mythos.
Ghun is a gorm from the shadowlands
Metal.
The raspy voice and its whole purpose reminds me of the gravemind
G’huunavirus
ghuun is cute
Wha?
Are... are you looking at the same thing we are?
I mean, you ARE azathoth. It make perfect sense
I hope you're joking NGL he's terrifying
Wow’s version of COVID19
Gurgly sounds... :)
Old God with covid
Imagine siding with this guy
G’Hunn is desgosting
ta bom
and then N'Zoth appeared and it was the most underwhelming fight ever
1:34
Imo, G'huun shouldn't be speaking at all. Would fit much better.
Nah. Its good that he speaks. It would be strange if he would be the only old god that doesnt speak considering they all love whispering/talking (Ghuun being a Titanforged Old God or not doesnt matter)
It'd be hard to talk the blood trolls into serving him if he couldn't talk
He’s much more primal though compared to the others. He doesn’t really ask, he states and demands.
G'Huun was more charismatic than N'Zoth. I said it.

that stupid music ruins all
