They would be without their helmet for a large part of their fighting life, due to it only fitting properly for a very brief window. | |

However, as I mentioned in my reply to Mike Serfas, I was seeking ideas for how this skull was made. I could simply say its construction is encoded in the hatchling's DNA and thus develops along with the fetus. I wanted to go beyond this simple route and have the parents "create" the skull for their child somehow, but wasn't sure how they would accomplish this. | |

No warrior, no matter how forewarned by a tightening helmet would ever fail to meet their death with honor. Free will may or may not exist, but no warrior of the gloom stalkers will ever know. | |
| Feb 17, 2021 at 0:40 | comment | added | jdunlop | So a warrior whose helmet no longer fits knows their death is imminent? Doesn't this invite predestination paradox, where a warrior knowing that their next battle will likely be their last because they can't get their skull hat to fit decides not to go into battle? (Otherwise, doesn't this mean that the world of the Gloomstalkers is one where free will is an illusion?) | |
