One Mysterious Part Of Red Dead Redemption 2 Is Still Scarier Than Most Horror Games

The Wild West can be a scary place in . Overall, is pretty grounded in reality. However, there are lots of little Easter eggs and secrets that touch on the supernatural. There's nothing akin to 's zombie adventure DLC, but there are UFOs, cannibals, and vampires to be found in .
But all these horrific elements are kept at arm's length. The UFO is only visible in the distant sky. The cannibals are only interacted with briefly. And it's left open to interpretation whether 's Saint Denis vampire is actually a bloodsucking creature of the night, or just some pale weirdo. However, one secret remains pretty creepy, even a few years after release. Its basis in real-world horrors, along with a closer look at the game's code, only makes it scarier.
As Arthur explores the area west of the Van Horn Trading Post, he may encounter a decrepit house containing 's greatest horror: the Manmade Mutant. At first glance, it resembles a crucified minotaur: a humanoid body with a boar's head, ram's horns — wait, are those wings?

It appears to be strapped to some sort of surgical table, and its arms are suspended from the ceiling in an outstretched position.
Notes found nearby suggest that the creature is the result of scientific experimentation. They read, "." This seems to imply that whoever created the creature intended to resurrect it. They also reveal that the creator has done even more patchwork than is immediately visible: a bear's heart beats inside its chest, and its skull is half-human, half-boar.
If they interact with it, Arthur or John will sketch the Mutant in their journal. That's the extent of the Mutant's interactivity, though; other than drawing it, there's nothing Arthur or John can do. However, the fire inside its house is lit, suggesting its creator isn't far off. And data hidden in the game's code suggests the mutant might once have walked the earth.
A video posted to YouTube by Nestan depicts a hacked copy of, in whichthe Manmade Mutant is fully animated, voiced, and responsive like the average NPC. This means that vestiges of a walking, talking character exist in its code — it wasn't always intended to be the static model that players see in-game.
This was probably another side quest cut from the final version of the game. Exactly why remains to be seen, but there is in-game evidence of one possible reason. The Manmade Mutant Easter egg bears many similarities to 's "" side quest, in which players help scientist Marko Dragic build and operate a lifelike, humanoid robot. The Mutant's

Each has its benefits (though one side vastly outweighs the other), and must be considered when starting up the game and journeying into Colter for the second time around.
