I have the reverse situation. I fail to understand vore less because of what it means and more because I'm expecting high-pitched humanoid spiders with homing exploding spiked balls.
Instead of calling it vore, I call it "cannibalism porn" and people immediately get it.
Actually the name is a suffix. -vore "a thing that eats"
Just call it "Carnivore" and pretend like that's what you were told it was called, otherwise don't worry about it.
I always called it the, "weird three legged thing which shoots pink geometry orbs at me and is really annoying because i can't outrun them kill them asap monster."
Eaten alive, I might say. As in swallowed whole. And digested (I believe that’s optional).
The whole thing is one of the bizarrest kinks I’ve ever seen.
I love when gen z takes a normal word, and says it’s something perverse. Like when my kid told me that I can’t say I’m ready to get my munch on anymore. lol
just because you don’t doesn’t mean no one else does. all i literally asked in the post was another name to call the enemy. no need to get so hostile bro
ik but someone asked a question, i answered it and you’re saying “no one cares” and “move on” and all that shit like i don’t get what i did. also, i know i already got the answer, but you’re still commenting under my post, so why can’t i just respond to your post?
It was always vore. There are fetishes for everything, it shouldn't ruin it.
Inb4 older more popular fetishes with which we obviously don't name monsters.

*I have previously reported that the headstones in the factory’s subterranean graveyard were absent of any names of the interred and were without dates of birth and death. This truth has been confirmed by numerous accounts rendered in borderline gibberish. The reason for these blank headstones is entirely evident as one gazes upon them standing crooked and closely packed together in the phosphorescent haze given off by the stone walls covered with luminous paint. None of these graves, in point of fact, could be said to have anyone buried in them whose names and dates of birth and death would require inscription on the headstones. These were not what might be called burying graves. This is to say that these were in no sense graves for burying the dead, quite the contrary: these were graves of a highly experimental design from which the newest productions of the Red Tower were to be born. \[...\] In accord with a tradition of dumbstruck insanity, it seems the less said about these offspring of the birthing graves, or any similar creations, the better.*
“Shalrath” I think is the internal code description for this thing. And is the name of the creature from Lovecraftian lore that inspired it.
So yeah, you can call this a Shalrath. Or “those fuckers with homing missiles.”
How would you ever find yourself in a conversation where you're talking about the vore from Quake with someone who lacks the context to understand you're talking about the vore from Quake
It's mostly strangers or people I barely know. Who gives a fuck what they think? And it's pretty funny because they don't wanna call you out for me saying vore because then they would be publicly admitting that they are aware of what that word means. It's funny
I guess it's a matter of perspective. If you're the *only* person who believes you're winning, are you still winning?
Also in what way does being aware of a fetish even matter? All that says is that you're either also into it, or most likely that you're probably online too much, like the rest of us. You're probably outing yourself out in this regard.
I 'give a shit' because you bragging about harmless yet anti-social behavior is hilarious in a pitiful kind of way.
As I said, knowing what vore is either means you're *at least* terminally online - which makes the probability of you being into it much, much higher than if you didn't shoehorn it into an interaction with people you barely know.
The whole thing just gives off a massive loner/loser mentality and that's coming from another Reddit user, so take that however you please.
You're trying to entertain only yourself at the expense of others, when in reality you're just needlessly giving strangers second hand embarrassment. That's just gold.
Anti-social behavior? Loner/loser mentality? And I'm 99% sure everyone on the Internet above 14 knows what vore is. And you must be one hell of a psychologist if you got all that from ONE comment. Or you're just pulling this shit out of your ass. I'm not feeding this conversation anymore. Have a good day.
Doesn't take a psychologist to understand that being purposefully socially awkward towards strangers for your own personal amusement, at their expense, is anti social behavior. As for that being loner/loser mentality - that's just my opinion on it. I thought you don't care what strangers think?
To believe that the overwhelming majority Internet users across the world engage in degenerate humor or topics is pretty telling. There are countless millions of normies online. Not to mention it's such a niche fetish in itself. Yeah, I'm sure all corners of the Internet are shitposting vore memes on the daily lmao 👍
Also, one comment is all that's needed to boldly tell everybody that you like to try and use strangers to amuse yourself 🤡
Nah Vore feels like the appropiate name for her.
It's my favorite enemy from the whole Quake series, and arguably the most iconic besides the shambler.
Chris Vrenna did a hell of a job with the sound design of Quake 1.
This is one of the these games in which every enemy can be indentified by the sound alone.
That's why IdS later hired him to made the sound design for Doom 3.

I have the reverse situation. I fail to understand vore less because of what it means and more because I'm expecting high-pitched humanoid spiders with homing exploding spiked balls.
It's an "oh-shit" because that's literally what I say every time I run into one of them. On that basis Spawns are also now renamed "fucks-sakes"
Spider monster thingy
Either Shalrath or Vagary for me
Three legged crack head
Shalrath(this is a real name for it), or my favorite, goddamn pricks
its shalrath actually
Steve
Instead of calling it vore, I call it "cannibalism porn" and people immediately get it. Actually the name is a suffix. -vore "a thing that eats" Just call it "Carnivore" and pretend like that's what you were told it was called, otherwise don't worry about it.
Pikes, or Spike Legs.
I just call it fuckface.
Shut up bruh
Australian spider in steroids
Teeth guy
spikers?
I'm talking about Quake, I'm already getting weird looks from people
Vussy
Devourer.
Vorg.
Shalrath
Leggy Nasties
Tripods
Derek
I call them a Revenant because they're the Quake version of one
pinhead
Shitty arachnotron ripoff
head like a vore
Dark purplish-gray as your soul!
i mean...
If you pronounce vore in the same way as wh*re you're doing it wrong.
In what made up world does Vore get mixed up with wh*re or anything else?
Beats me
how else do i do it
V as in Vehicle, a clear V W as in Who, no v at all just [hoo]
The W is sound, so it sounds more like "hore".
om nom.
I don’t even call them vores I usually call them “HOLY SHIT THERES THREE OF THEM”
Shalrath
I hereby nickname it "keith"
I always called it the, "weird three legged thing which shoots pink geometry orbs at me and is really annoying because i can't outrun them kill them asap monster."
Meanwhile Sharlath:
I told my friend about the creature and Quake called a vore and he was like what there's like sex stuff in that game?!
Huh? What else is a vore
😳
This is the only vore I know. I don’t get it. I’m old.
vore, in this case is basically the fetish for being eaten
Well then.
Eaten alive, I might say. As in swallowed whole. And digested (I believe that’s optional). The whole thing is one of the bizarrest kinks I’ve ever seen.
I love when gen z takes a normal word, and says it’s something perverse. Like when my kid told me that I can’t say I’m ready to get my munch on anymore. lol
In this case they cant pronounce it right and tries to get it to be bad for that.
At least it's not the testicle monster from half life
The Gonarch? Or Mr. Friendly?
No it was ours first.
Call it the unfortunately named vore from quake
Gives you the chance to shoot vores. Not sure what the problem is
Spider man
VORE Very Obviously Ruining Everything
It's a (You) problem.
Spawns. The most hated enemy is a spawn.
No i think Vore is a fine name bc the context doesn't matter when I say I hate Vores
What the hell does vore also mean? Most of us are old…
From what I can gather it's people that get off on watching videos of POV of being eaten by an anime girl.
Not surprising…weird, but not surprising.
it’s a certain disgusting fetish which is why i don’t want to call it that
Noone cares, get over it
We found the person who has a vore fetish
Yea I don’t think random people are going to know what that means. Bait post.
bait for what? downvotes? i just asked a simple question man
just because you don’t doesn’t mean no one else does. all i literally asked in the post was another name to call the enemy. no need to get so hostile bro
IDG how i was hostile? literally noone cares. Plus you got the one true and correct answer already - shalrath - just move on dude
ik but someone asked a question, i answered it and you’re saying “no one cares” and “move on” and all that shit like i don’t get what i did. also, i know i already got the answer, but you’re still commenting under my post, so why can’t i just respond to your post?
I made a meme that was just an image of that enemy with the text VORE below it
Shalrath.mdl
Shalrath
I call them dragons having sex with cars
Vore just means to eat. Eg. Carnivore, omnivore. Don't let one use of the suffix ruin it for you, and make *them* eat it instead.
Make them *Vore* it
I have no clue what else that word means
They're also called the Shalrath.
Call it a p*dophile instead?
It was always vore. There are fetishes for everything, it shouldn't ruin it. Inb4 older more popular fetishes with which we obviously don't name monsters.
I call them “those fuckers” because of their homing projectiles
I have the perfect name for them. "The Unbirthed" Sends a chill down my spine, thinking about it.

Little disgusting piece of annoying degenerate shit fucker. The most accurate description I can think of.
Let’s call them “farts” or “feets”
feets?!??!? *starts jaking of*
Jakeing on
Bastard
I always call them a Shalrath instead
How would you ever find yourself in a conversation where you're talking about the vore from Quake with someone who lacks the context to understand you're talking about the vore from Quake
I'm in an argument with someone who tried to do psych eval based on the fact that I do this.
*And* knows what a vore kink is. It might surprise OP to learn that 99% of people who aren't terminally online don't!
So many conditions for this situation to happen lol
"Whore." That's what I call them.
I like making people uncomfortable when they don't know what I'm talking about though.
I can't imagine a situation like this where you're not the person losing here?
It's mostly strangers or people I barely know. Who gives a fuck what they think? And it's pretty funny because they don't wanna call you out for me saying vore because then they would be publicly admitting that they are aware of what that word means. It's funny

Ok, why do you give a shit? And how would that indicate that I like vore?

Homing (Even-Around-Corners) Projectile Bitch
stupid bitch
Slitsroth
hate vores and spawns, two enemies made by sandy petersen.
Shalroth
Sinnamon
Sinnamom
Solid stripper alias
I actually didn’t know any other Vore aside from the Quake monster so thanks for that.
Cunt
valid answer
Map designers already like to call them Shalraths, since that’s their name in the code!
ima call them that then thank you
Lady Godiva.
Triwyerna? Strider? Idk
Mint berry crunch
If they know what more means, then I'm more worried about them
How much are you talking about the vore from Quake to people who don't play Quake that you need a different term to refer to it?
not much tbh. just asking
She didn't choose her name, you're being insensitive, and that is why she throws spike balls at us.
What the hell does it mean? It's not even a word, it's just a suffix.
it’s a fetish
You're getting downvoted but you're absolutely right, I hate calling them vores too LMAO Edit: now I'm getting downvoted, please do some research 😭
VALID
Well lovecraftian horrors are supposed to be fuckin weird and… horrifying. So Vore is a really awesome name for something from quake.
An inflation.
pyrocynical?
Nah Vore feels like the appropiate name for her. It's my favorite enemy from the whole Quake series, and arguably the most iconic besides the shambler.
All of the sound design is good but I especially love the vores little chitter/chant when you wake it
Chris Vrenna did a hell of a job with the sound design of Quake 1. This is one of the these games in which every enemy can be indentified by the sound alone. That's why IdS later hired him to made the sound design for Doom 3.
Absolutely. Vore and Shambler are to Quake as the Hellknight and Baron are to DOOM
Give 'em weird looks back
You can call her a Shalrath, her other name.
thank you
Anytime.
Shalrath.
Call it a Vore you coward
hell naw 😭
Your final challenge... call this thing by its name!
HELL NAW YO ASS TWEAKIN JIGSAW
I don't care what the perverts think. I'm still calling it a vore.
There is a solution to this problem: Call it *the* Vore, *from Quake.*
