This is meant to be Firestorm Citadel! I did NOT see any McDonalds or KFC or any crappy fast food on the way to the Throne Room! So why is he so fat Q_Q I die a little more each time he charges at me with his giant rolls. It's like an inevitable doom where you're going to be swallowed by his fat tissues. :|

Srs, I always wonder what was going through the designer's mind when he drew vanaduke O_o What do you think guys? *cough*diet*cough*

The god that Vanaduke

The god that Vanaduke appealed to predicted that the guy would destroy all the mirrors in Almire, so it decided to make Vanaduke overweight with his transformation.

He never really struck me as

He never really struck me as especially fat, more like a very physically powerful being with a large frame.

But that's just my experience of human musculature speaking, where a physically powerful person will have a square build, and may even by our standards look fat, when in reality they could probably break you in two without even breaking a sweat.

Or he could be fat, who knows.

Hes swollen with a thousand

Hes swollen with a thousand years of rage and lack of a bathroom. You saw the sprites.... someone shut off the water, and it got so stagnant it actually congeals.

There is a Mickey Ds. If you look in the verrrrrrrrry background on the wall of the level sphere you can see a McDonalds Arch lol.

Also he can't help that he is fat, it's a genetic glandular problem, so DONT make fun.

He's a Space Marine

He's a Space Marine Terminator. Probably a hold-over from when we were all Warhammer 40K knockoffs.

no, truth is better than watermelon soda.

Geez, you'd think all that

Geez, you'd think all that charging around with a heavy mace would help him peel off a couple pounds. I guess it's time for him to start hitting the Dreadmill...

My thoughts

In the 5th stage of the fight, you can notice that he has the same eyes as a spiral knight, but he's much bigger. I'm thinking perhaps that he might have been deformed by the core's energy, or something to that effect. That or the power he was given when he was changed, as explained in the lore of the Firestorm Citadel

He's not fat.

Why does he hide his face? Why does he have such a low head? Why is he so oddly proportioned?

It's because he's really the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

OMNOMNOMNOM, begone now, you puny Knights!

When you become so powerful and angry (and lonely), nobody's going to yell at you for a bit of binge eating.

Then again, he just looks bulky to me. Not particularly fat. o.o

Well

The idea was probably to make him look strong. The formula for that is huge shoulders, tiny legs it seems. Vana should trip more often, so much weight on those tiny legs.

He's immune to fire, so he probably can't burn fat.

:P

Because devs like big butts and players can't lie when they walk in with a round thing in their face and get sprung (as in excited to kick his butt!).
It's also so he can't fit your monitor as you move around the map so you can't see him rushing you with a waistline of fireballs or hit you with his hammer off screen. Don't you hate that? lol.

If you look closely, he walks

If you look closely, he walks extremely slow. So against all those saying he is not fat, he is definitely fat.

Drugs

I don't have a lot of information on Vanaduke, but judging from your descriptions I'd say he's been overdosing on steroids or something of the such. Just goes to show younguns: don't do drugs.

Duh!

Well, I mean, it is pretty obvious. He promised his kingdom a victory in his war, and failed. He is obviously a comfort eater, and just continues to eat until he is happy. Of course, considering that foreboding >:( face on his mask, he obviously is still eating.

Of course, there is another theory. He is a Tier 3 boss, that isn't an easy thing to achieve. Steroids perhaps?

He's just a victim of poor water retention, and even the shadow fire cant help him sweat it off. D:
