The Japanese kana for the Covetous Demon are pronounced jaba za hatto – or, Jabba the Hutt. Twitter user Meowmaritus posted a short thread of some examples. Players scouring through the code for the original Dark Souls II on PC have unearthed several internal names for bosses, and the results are highly amusing. Not to demystify things too drastically or anything, but that is indeed what seems to have happened. It’s no big surprise that developers have internal naming schemes for the characters in the games they’re working on, but something about the Dark Souls franchise inspires a kind of reverence – each major enemy (and many of the minor ones!) have reams of lore behind them, and so it’s amusing to learn that FromSoft’s developers seem to have created in-house nicknames for them based on other pop culture franchises. ![]()
