What I think of both the "Hornys" from Dk1 and Dk2?
Meh, they both kill you the same.

Let's look at both intro movies shall we, in the DK1 intro Horny decapatates a knight head while laughing (I presume) in DK2 a dwarf bumps in to him and he growls...
I like horny as a psycho killing machine not as a "smart" talking demon...
I have known what you mean throughout the entire discussion. You are completely missing the point. Yes, DK1 Horny looks like some vile, hideous monster that goes on rampages and slaughters anyone on site - in other words, he looks 'scary'. I accept that. What I am trying to say, is that the DK2 model has a lot more natural and smooth design. The DK1 Horned Reaper just looks like a whole bunch of body parts attached together whereas the DK2 Horned Reaper actually looks like he is one, if you catch my drift.
Then there's also the matter on the difference between scary and evil, but I don't think I'll bother.

DK 1 Horny is not evil, but an animal in defense.
In DK1, it's more like nature against humanity. Where humanity is called heroes. The only more or less human in the Dungeon is the warlock, and makes the most terrible sound ever when dropped down. Good thing they are the first ones to get killed in every fight.
DK 2 is commercial plagiarism.
In my opinion. It's only about money, a settled name. No story behind it, just an imitation of an original game. I am not the only one that has that opinion. Maybe it is put a little bluntly because of all de complicated history behind it. But Horny in DK2 has no story, is a new creature, is not a creature from nature, but rather a creature from mythology. The devil. The devil is not an original creature, his name is not Horned Reaper.
DK 1, also called Dungeon Keeper, is except for a game, also an experiment with the possiblities for AI and creating a funny virtual reality. This project was stopped by Electronic Arts, for whatever reason, a compleet other engine was used. Most fans back than expected improvement of the engine, not destroying it. This was very painful to many fans, the Dungeon Keeper Community disappeared from the internet, after the Dungeon Keeper 2 plagiarism was put on the market.
Hello *waves*
been reading the forum a bit finally found something I thought I should jump in on.
DK1 Horned Reaper (I dont think he was called horny until dk2..either way, I prefer to call him the Horned Reaper) is psychotic. He runs to a kill, and if
he isnt killing something, he's not happy.
that said, I like the impression the first dungeon keepers horned reaper gives
more than I like the impression of the second horned reaper model.
DK2 Horned reaper does have a more natural looking model, it looks like
the body of something that is alive and could exist.
but I think the unnaturalness of the first model is also something
to its benefit, making him look even more insane.
I would like to see a DK1 Horned Reaper remodeled with a more natural
look (not totally natural mind you) that aims to preserve just a little bit
of the misproportions (he should still have a big head and a lean crack addict looking body) It would be totally sweet.
Its the absolute glee he gets from killing that makes me like him more, the DK2 Horny doesnt look so kid in a candy store about it.
