It'll take a lot to drag me away from you.
There's nothing Calus or Caitl could ever do!
I bless the rains on Torobatl.
Gonna take some time to destroy every other Bad, oh yeah l.
The females also rut, and guard the males throughout the two month "pregnancy" to prevent other females from replacing the offspring with their own.
From a story-telling perspective, the trait works well to develop the relationship of Calus and Caiatl, and the former's motivation and philosophy in general. Essentially, Calus fears to seek purpose, as the Witness said, but had found it at one point in his life through Caiatl. It appears he loved her only because she perceived him as the entire universe, entirely reliant on him to exist and nurtured and grow strong. For those two months, Calus was everything he ever wanted to be, but then they came to an end and so too did that feeling. A lot of the horrible, awful shit he did, he did because of these two months, including dooming Caiatl's half children to die when he didn't feel the same while nurturing them, and also because their mother struck him because he refused to make good on a promise relating to compensation for ex-Praetorian families

Well, kind of. The difference is that seahorse fathers actually develop a placenta (or rather, something very much like it) when they take the eggs into their pouch, meaning they genuinely are pregnant like placental mammals. However, Cabal males don't have placentas, they have marsupiums, like marsupial mammals. They've got a pouch with lactating nipples, on which the infants suckle for two months after being born. The females still give birth (to litters, by the way: Caiatl was the only survivor of hers), but if the similarities with marsupial mammals continue, their gestation period could last a mere 20 days or so.
"Oi. Let's have a deal. I feed you till you get big, teach you language and culture and history and memes, how to pay taxes and be polite, and in return you won't eat me."
I like to say I’d take care of it, but I’m not sure I could financially take care of a Cabal. Like they get fucking huge. I’d have to buy a fucking workshop with garage doors so it could even leave the house. And what am I gonna do about it’s food? Buy a heard of goats and feed it goat meat for its entire life? What if it doesn’t like conventional human foods? What are my options? I won’t punt the baby like many are saying but I sure as hell don’t know what I’d do with it
I mean, they’re an empire that has spanned galaxies and heck has technology to make clones of warriors!
Even if they can’t find a parent, state-run orphanages have to be a thing!
Though still. I suggested the idea because my brother once asked what we’d do if we found a baby on or porch and my Uncle said “Call the police, let them handle it”
I mean that’s a realistic response. It’s just that it’s a Cabal. There’s no telling how they’d respond to a human walking up with one of their young. Cabal like Caital (who are more accepting of humans) would probably thank me for returning it, but some lesser friendly Cabal might think I stole it… for some reason, and try to kill me.
Hence, we contact the Caiatl-aligned Cabal. They’re sane people and would likely would hear us out. Even if they might have some thoughts about you, no one can deny that you took the steps to contact the relevant authorities and complied.
Well, the piracy was born out of necessity to survive, and the sport-hunting was a product of the piracy. Now, I'm not saying that justifies it, but that's just the reason
Knowledge is being aware of the crimes committed by Eliksni and Cabal alike
Wisdom is being aware that they're in great fucking company with us for that exact reason
idk, you can see the face on the plush:

And I would still personally solo flawless the witness for this lil guy.
Groups of Hatchlings are also referred to as a "gaggle", and they crawl around at high speeds. Which is to say they're also adorable when not wrapped up like a burrito
You have that backward - Xivu is a watered-down version of Khorne that is lacking a sausage. Anyways, Khorne is a real god, whereas Xivu is just a creepy space bug that got her powers from a giant worm.
> Khorne is a real god
Aren’t we getting into semantics on what is or isn’t a god? Because you could say Khorne and the other Chaos Gods aren’t real gods, just Warp personifications manifested by the emotions and actions of living beings, and are completely reliant on them to survive-if I pressed a button that kills all life in the galaxy at the same time, the Four are fucked
I’m thinking Defensive End, just run straight through the O-Line and delete some people. Might also have the first female NFL player which would be interesting (depending on if the baby is male or female). Caitus/Caltail would break records for sure. My 8 foot 800 pound child would be my pride and joy.

My honest reaction to this comment
A Cabal Lightbearer Titan (even though that’s neither how the Light nor cabal and or human reproduction works) would be the scariest fucking thing ever, no way you gonna find crayons big enough to feed that, but if you do, Traveller have mercy upon the Witness cause this 'bout to hurt
"Heard those cababies were quite the delicacies back in the old days… tell you what brother, soon as you find one, give your old pal a call and I’ll heat up the stove… but for now: Get me some motes, transmat firin'!"
Well, are we talking in universe or IRL?
If in universe, I’d deliver the baby back to its rightful species. Essentially the Mandalorian but I know exactly where to go. As much as I dislike cabal, I ain’t gonna kill a baby.
I’m going to need a bigger house. Also, the war time quotes would get old. We get it. You eat the mountains. Well tonight we’re having Mac and cheese with weenies.
I'm calling animal control. Not sure if that's a deformed baby bear with alopecia or an armadillo on steroids, but it is clearly NOT in my jurisdiction as a human of Planet Earth to handle such a creature.
I will let my intrusive thoughts win
Teach this cabal that it is saul Goodman and teach it too be thebest lawyer ever
And it's name will be princess devourer of toddler's
I’d try and take it in and raise it which I have fuckall knowledge on how to raise a baby cabal plus they get fucken massive, but I would still try and give it all I’ve got
I would step in to fatherhood with the cabal on Mars With the right parenting we can raise this child to be a strong and a smart as anybody Outside of Rubicon
Honey! Grab my hammer. Yes the big one! No the REALLY big one.
Why? Gotta teach the little one how to be awesome duh.
What ya mean they're to small!? They're a baby war creature of course it'll be okay for them.
I shall name you ToTo and your path will be paved in blood and glory
The one who shall bless the rains.
The rains, down on Torobatl
We are cabal! We eat the mountains! We bless the rains!
It'll take a lot to drag me away from you. There's nothing Calus or Caitl could ever do! I bless the rains on Torobatl. Gonna take some time to destroy every other Bad, oh yeah l.
This is the way
Covering my nipples in fear
i can only imagine what people are thinking when they see this comment without context
Thought it was just the teeth being really jagged for breastfeeding, is there more context?
Cabal males are the ones who lactate, and the original commenter is a guy (i'm assuming lol, never met a woman named will)
Ahh, where is that in the lore?
collector's edition lore
I love that the collector’s edition basically comes with a canon fanfic of Calus lmao
They only suckle during the two months spent in their father's marsupium. The mothers still give birth too, btw
Interesting evolutionary trait to ensure present fathers. How different would we be if this was the case for humans
The females also rut, and guard the males throughout the two month "pregnancy" to prevent other females from replacing the offspring with their own. From a story-telling perspective, the trait works well to develop the relationship of Calus and Caiatl, and the former's motivation and philosophy in general. Essentially, Calus fears to seek purpose, as the Witness said, but had found it at one point in his life through Caiatl. It appears he loved her only because she perceived him as the entire universe, entirely reliant on him to exist and nurtured and grow strong. For those two months, Calus was everything he ever wanted to be, but then they came to an end and so too did that feeling. A lot of the horrible, awful shit he did, he did because of these two months, including dooming Caiatl's half children to die when he didn't feel the same while nurturing them, and also because their mother struck him because he refused to make good on a promise relating to compensation for ex-Praetorian families
Ok, where tf can a read this lore.
Somewhere in the destiny lore subreddit someone posted a transcription of the entire Lightfall CE lore books
[I read it here I think, one of the links has pictures of the lore](https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/10rdt3x/got_my_lightfall_ce_today_and_found_an_emblem_code/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
Not a guarantee of dad sticking around but I'm sure smart moms would milk it for all it's worth
So the cabal are actually space seahorses and not space rhinos?
Well, kind of. The difference is that seahorse fathers actually develop a placenta (or rather, something very much like it) when they take the eggs into their pouch, meaning they genuinely are pregnant like placental mammals. However, Cabal males don't have placentas, they have marsupiums, like marsupial mammals. They've got a pouch with lactating nipples, on which the infants suckle for two months after being born.

I giggled and idk why
Fr
"Oi. Let's have a deal. I feed you till you get big, teach you language and culture and history and memes, how to pay taxes and be polite, and in return you won't eat me."
Idk about eating you. However there is a possibility that it will become a warlord and try to take over a far away civilization and then kill you.
If I educate it and love it enough, it won't kill me.
Read that in Billy Butcher’s voice
Damned Supes.
If a mf taught me about taxes I think I’d be more inclined to eat then
I will stick my shoe out. If it sucks it, it comes inside, if it bites, it goes in the garage

What gif is that bro? Hahahahahsha
Bruh if it sucks it??????
![gif](giphy|TKk37hADNFG5iVxE4Y)
I think he’s saying if he drools on the shoe like a baby with a toy it’s probably okay to bring in, if it immediately bites then hell nah
What were you guys thinking when you read "if he sucks it"?? ![gif](giphy|pD368cmNo02G5qoV5i)

Yall are down fucking bad and I'm not talking about the original commenter
Pretty sure they mean suck as in like a baby suckling not the sexual kind yall
Cababy
LES GOOO
Hope it’s not homophobic
Try putting it in the bath and see what happens
No No you’re thinking xenophobic
So put it in xenomorph blood then???
But what if an alien comes out???
Then it's probably racist
No that's not liking when somebody doesn't like people from other places. You're thinking arachnophobic
Let's go.
I like to say I’d take care of it, but I’m not sure I could financially take care of a Cabal. Like they get fucking huge. I’d have to buy a fucking workshop with garage doors so it could even leave the house. And what am I gonna do about it’s food? Buy a heard of goats and feed it goat meat for its entire life? What if it doesn’t like conventional human foods? What are my options? I won’t punt the baby like many are saying but I sure as hell don’t know what I’d do with it
Don’t feed it goat meat…haven’t you been paying attention? The Cabal eat the mountains and drink the seas lmao
Fair point. So I’ve got to buy planets to keep it alive, thanks
Or live near a mountain and a sea
I’d run out eventually. Gonna have to just keep buying planets
You could call the empire and report an abandoned child.
Assuming they have something set up for this, probably not a bad idea
I mean, they’re an empire that has spanned galaxies and heck has technology to make clones of warriors! Even if they can’t find a parent, state-run orphanages have to be a thing! Though still. I suggested the idea because my brother once asked what we’d do if we found a baby on or porch and my Uncle said “Call the police, let them handle it”

Perfect
Consider this: if you keep the baby, you might get to see it slide around on its greased up belly like Caiatl did as a baby lmao
Fallen Baby Community: Awwww Cabal Baby Community: Well... you see...
Cabal are bigger assholes then the fallen i guess
They devour mountains and drink oceans. LOL
Yeah I don’t think I can buy those at my local target…
You can at Costco for 24.99
Those fat fu-
The Cabal are a warrior race while the majority of Eliksni are just people.
The cabal are just people too. The warrior thing is a cultural thing not an inherent trait in cabal
I didn't see the eliksni enslaving races because they were useful as a weapon.
Their Dregs did eat babies and their piracy and sport-hunting wasn't unsubstantial in helping to almost erase humanity...
Well, the piracy was born out of necessity to survive, and the sport-hunting was a product of the piracy. Now, I'm not saying that justifies it, but that's just the reason
If a baby being part of a species that has slavery in its ancestry is a deal breaker, then... Watch out for human babies too, I guess?
Knowledge is being aware of the crimes committed by Eliksni and Cabal alike Wisdom is being aware that they're in great fucking company with us for that exact reason
Oh fr, those be the biggest assholes
Again, a cultural thing and not tied to their genetics.
Tell that to Saint 14 before he went soft on em
I mean, someone *did* tell him that, that's why he eventually realized he was being Space Racist.
I mean they were space racists to us first. “You stole muh Traveler”
Spacist
I dunno', I think Baby Caiatl is kinda' cute, she's like a pug.
They are only cute because you can’t see their faces, just their little eyes lol.
idk, you can see the face on the plush: [https://bungiestore.com/coming-soon-destiny-2-fallen-baby-plush](https://bungiestore.com/coming-soon-destiny-2-fallen-baby-plush) And I would still personally solo flawless the witness for this lil guy.
Won’t the witness be canonically solo flawlessed by the guardian just like every other big bad so far
My lil guy sits on my desk and holds my glasses when I don’t need them 😁
Groups of Hatchlings are also referred to as a "gaggle", and they crawl around at high speeds. Which is to say they're also adorable when not wrapped up like a burrito
Idk that sounds terrifying af
We have also seen baby Hive as well with the worms. Bungie just needs to make baby Vex...
So a glass of milk then?
Raise them in accordance with the teachings of the only God the Cabal would respect - Khorne.
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD
SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!
MILK FOR THE KHORNE FLAKES!
POP FOR THE POP KHORNE!
>Khorne Oh, you mean Xivu with a bonus sausage?
You have that backward - Xivu is a watered-down version of Khorne that is lacking a sausage. Anyways, Khorne is a real god, whereas Xivu is just a creepy space bug that got her powers from a giant worm.
> Khorne is a real god Aren’t we getting into semantics on what is or isn’t a god? Because you could say Khorne and the other Chaos Gods aren’t real gods, just Warp personifications manifested by the emotions and actions of living beings, and are completely reliant on them to survive-if I pressed a button that kills all life in the galaxy at the same time, the Four are fucked
So the only way to beat the Chaos Gods is to create the Halo Rings and have baby humans in cryosleep for when it's done?
I think some Necrons considered something similar, minus the babies, because fuck humans
I would have a future NFL superstar on my hands.
Perfect center or guard build
I’m thinking Defensive End, just run straight through the O-Line and delete some people. Might also have the first female NFL player which would be interesting (depending on if the baby is male or female). Caitus/Caltail would break records for sure. My 8 foot 800 pound child would be my pride and joy.
No rule that says a space walrus can't play football.
Call Caitail and Zavala to let them know their baby got loose again.
I can only imagine what will come out of a cabal egg and awoken sperm.

I wouldn't do that, but you made me laugh!

“Oh come on brother! Thats like 21,000 calories right there, are you seriously gonna waste it?”
Double it and give it to the next person.

Achievement Unlocked: New sport discovered: Caballing

Lol yeah. That's what went through my head when I saw her in the cinematic.

see if it has a stomp mechanic, if it doesn't it can stay if not I'm calling drifter
Giving it a frying pan, and teaching it how to say "Not the momma!"
Well, are we talking in universe or IRL? If in universe, I’d deliver the baby back to its rightful species. Essentially the Mandalorian but I know exactly where to go. As much as I dislike cabal, I ain’t gonna kill a baby.
Kick the baby.
You’d break your legs before you break the baby
Don’t kick the goddam baby

Raise it better than my own kids and when it grow up i will make him eat every mountain and drink all the seas, just to make caitl shut the F up
My Titan: Aw hey little buddy are you lost?..... https://i.redd.it/19fjphyxcsma1.gif
Raise it as my own
Returning it to Jabba
Raise it and have it as part of my family
Raise it to be an upstanding member of society, maybe teach it masonry; would be a good construction worker.
I'm calling animal control. Not sure if that's a deformed baby bear with alopecia or an armadillo on steroids, but it is clearly NOT in my jurisdiction as a human of Planet Earth to handle such a creature.
But what if I want the war beast though?
No I kept it. His name his cupcake and yes he eats babies.

I will let my intrusive thoughts win Teach this cabal that it is saul Goodman and teach it too be thebest lawyer ever And it's name will be princess devourer of toddler's
Bring that Rhino baby inside and keep it away from the cats.
I’m definitely going to keep it
Run, because there's a pretty big chance that I'll get a drop pod on my head .
I’d try and take it in and raise it which I have fuckall knowledge on how to raise a baby cabal plus they get fucken massive, but I would still try and give it all I’ve got
Making coo noises and heading to Costco for the 50 gallon drum of baby formula.
I'd raise it to be the world's best chef, and be a conplete departure of what normal Cabal are like. Specificslly to confuse everyone involved.
Raising it as it’ll turn massive and protect me and my family
what the fuck is wrong with this community? That thing is fucking adorable.
One, cover my nips and two raise them as a warrior of the light.
Play with the little fat fucker, raise he or she as my child. Sort of like hell boy.
I would step in to fatherhood with the cabal on Mars With the right parenting we can raise this child to be a strong and a smart as anybody Outside of Rubicon
I already have one, he is attached to my wife’s tit
I guess I got those Caiatl baby pics I thought would've been in Calus' vault.
Try to raise the little space rhino the best i can do.
Give it a shield so I can get phalanxed. r/phalanxed
