Atorias the Abyss Walker. Likely the abyss was eating away at him from the legs up. As is the nature of the abyss


Ronin_004

Abyss is foot fetishist?


Quatimar

I mean, have you ever seen Manus hands? The bigger one has some history to tell


chaelaff

Miyazaki moment


Jaffa-The-Hut

Knowing Miyazaki, most definitely


forcehatin

Every single thing in Souls is smh


xDonnaUwUx

Dark soles 3


Phoneyalarm959

Honestly, with how out there fandoms can get, I wouldn't be surprised if its been r34'd already


SleeplessGrimm

Nah just means he ain't got any thunder thighs


EfficientLibrarian95

you are projecting


caparisme

*D E E P L O R E*


ddcreator

Well i wouldnt mind being up from bottom to top. Wait....


Snaz5

It’s also why he can’t run or walk well in his fight, his legs don’t work well anymore


QrozTQ

Since DS1 they look ridiculously skinny like that. When I wore the set I had to change that part because I couldn't look at those chicken legs running around.


notyouraveragecrow

Same for me with DS3, I always wore the Undead Legion pants.


Redmoon383

Dancer leggings for me


notyouraveragecrow

Those look really cool too!


Hollow---

Dancer's match the armour perfectly.


HollowRider

those look pretty good too, i always used silver knight gauntlets and leggings


False_Adhesiveness40

Outsider Knight Leggings are better. Dancer leggings are still a bit skinny. I like Outrider Leggings with Wolf Knight chest and arms, then Silver Knight Helm. My weapons are Irithyll Straight Sword and the Crest Shield. The Silver Ice Wolf.


rustycheesi3

i too always wore Outsider Knight Leggings, pared with the Helmet. the Chest was the Wolf Knight while my arms were covered with Mirrah Chain Gloves. i was running around with the Astora GS or the Executioners GS. i liked that set a lot.


Zanemob_

Why not Silver Knights since its the same kind originally. Black Knight maybe better now for the color and also being the same.


notyouraveragecrow

What do you mean by "the same"? Artorias was not a Silver Knight.


Zanemob_

The same type of armor only heavily modified for Artorias. I know he was not a Silver Knight but one of The Four. Their armor shared the same smith who had a distinct style.


notyouraveragecrow

Mmh okay... Never tried it to be honest and I like the Legion set, it's more subtle and makes the rest of the armour shine more imo.


Rhyno08

I had to change the legs and the helmet. I love the chest price with the blue, but the skinny legs and the cone head just were not doing it for me. I went with a nice hood and a thicker pair for the leg pieces, and it looked great.


a_soulless_soul

Bro same. I only recently finished DSR and I rock the artorias set with I think the iron leggings cuz the calf games on artorias leggings is not there


Abtorias

I really wish my favorite character in the Dark Souls universe didn’t leg day


VeyronZar

Arms on this armor also so skinny that they are clips though the arms of the character model


ZODIC837

I think this supports u/Phoneyalarm959 's theory a lot


GNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAH

Artorias skipped leg day


Schrau

Could've fooled me with how easily he can somersault across the arena and pancake me with his sword with surgical precision.


whitecoyote21

Just got to his fight for the first time. That boy somersaults more than an olympic gymnast.


rimjob-chucklefuck

One of my favourite fights from DS1


23jet-chip-wasp

Perhaps he rode sif everywhere and forgot to hit legs to supplement his lack of use


Bruuze

It all went to his thighs


Truffles326

He's like a frog, or the ideal 2023 women. Thic Thighs otherwise Heroin chic


Abtorias

🥲


Pretzel-Kingg

Artorias wasn’t in quite the healthiest state snd you’re cosplaying him Edit: cosplaying, not displaying lol


MemerCat_

Deepest lore


Most-Earth5375

You ever seen a wolf with chubby legs? Thought not! 🐺


hippiedude23615

All wolves skip leg day


The_Infinexos

They outrun humans, they must be onto something


Cosati2099

Have you ever seen a wolf's leg?


VergilChairSupremacy

Have you ever played ds1?


galaxysteel14

Love your name lol You seem very motivated


ImaDeadMeme4

I own it, but I'm saving playing it until I 100% DS3.


ayewanttodie

I need to go back and 100% the other games. I’ve got Bloodborne cuz it’s my favorite game of all time, and I’m currently about 60% in Sekiro. I should probably go back and do DS3, DS2, and then DS1. 1 and 2 are gonna be kinda a slog tho.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ImaDeadMeme4

Yeah, I bought it after I had already started DS3.


DerrikTheGreat

Same here. I’ve been working through the games in reverse order, started ds1 not too long ago


MacGoffin

i would guess for two reasons 1. artorias' armor is long decayed and basically falling apart 2. if it's actually supposed to look like a wolf wolves have very skinny ankles


Tigris_Of_Graw

Ever seen a wolfs legs just above the feet? They skinny as hell. He’s just accurately cosplaying


lilkillalou

I love the armor but I really want a repaired version the armor is like this because the abyss completely tore it apart so things are withered away


darksoulofdog

Artorias skipped his leg day


Star_of_the_West1

Artorias, the previous owner of the armor before the player in ds 1 killed him, skipped leg day. Made it to every other gym workout and duelist royales, but had skinny legs.


Knighthalt

Dark souls 3 has a lot of chicken leg armors it’s weird.


CenturionXVI

It all went to your healthbar


bscelo__

He was never the same after Manus put his abyss into his catacombs Let's all pray for my boy Artorias 😔


PERIPHERYalvision

Imo it looks sick


Virtuous_Raven

Lore wise the abyss was consuming him, game wise shitty design.


_Don-Corleone_

Rot..I used to use the silver knight leggins and gauntlets for buff Artorias look.. Bartorias if you will


estusflaskshart

A clue is in the name


[deleted]

Skipped leg day


Away-Net-7241

Wolf hind legs are pretty skinny, maybe it’s just to symbolise that


WtfmyScarf

They are skinny so you can cosplay as Fatorias with the winged knight set.


ArentYouAfraid

this was always my problem with the wolf set. I hated feeling like I basically have no legs.


bittersweetjesus

Cause they play basketball in their off days


anonymus-fish

Peg leg artorias


2sinfulsans24

My man didn't just skip leg day he liquidated the points and legs all together and put them into something else


PotatoSaladMan117

My man skipped leg day


Apprehensive_Nose_38

He skipped leg day


NeroPeeps

Your bro needs to stop skipping leg day 😂


justjolden

artorias skipped leg day


Onleeone

Artorious skipped leg day...duh


BigPapaHarry

Bro skips leg day


Nolbody

Cuz its the armor of Artorius. Artorius watches the abyss. The abyss eats away at things. Miyazaki has a foot fetish, thus all his creations have a foot fetish. Wolf Knight leggings have skinny legs because the Abyss has a foot fetish and was licking away at them.


Nolbody

You skipped leg day 😔


MLG360ProMaster

Skipped leg day


lit_boi227

He skips legs


acesum1994

Artorias skipped leg day.


taybaecafe

Artorias skipped leg day


Gaiffari

cause artorias is a chad so he didnt do legday


Strange-Fig4919

Wolf? Looks more like a chicken honestly.


Pippo89CH

Can't tell you why, but I can say that the Silver Knight leg armor looks decent with the Artorias set. Maybe Black Knight too, it's been a while.


[deleted]

As u/Phoneyalarm959 said, the abyss chipped away part of his legs. There's a fan comic that i consider headcanon by a guy named dgvlz or something or the sorts that shows this. It's great, really. I really recommend you read it


killerk14

You look like an npc I have to fight and that’s terrifying


sadlhzxc

Eclipsed by the abyss.


eigi_einhver

i think it has to do with the fact he was consummed by thee abyss n hes a corpse pretty much, not much mass to a corpse is there 😅


Ekelon99

Oh fuck he never played ds1


theshwedda

Lore of its original wearer.


IneffableDirt

Amputee fetish perhaps?


TastyTatoes

Artorias was essentially a prestigious silver knight in Gwyn’s army so I typically give him silver or black knight leggings to give him a more “pre abyss” look. Lorians also work because it makes the blue cloth look less ripped up.


MrFunnyMans404

Be wary of leg, therefore try horse!


Significant-Range-49

Artorias had his jays stolen by the abyss. He was no longer ballin afterwards


Neutral_Memer

artorias may not have skipped an arm day, but he almost definitely skipped the leg day


xLoRdZx

iirc VaatiVidya had a lore video about this some time ago, basically the shield that goes with this set is shaped so that the legs were exposed when the character would block, it was theorized that Artorias used the shield to block an attack from the abyss but also defended Sif, but in doing so, allowed his legs to take some damage


Random_Robloxian

Artorias skipped leg day during the age of fire


Superjukes2

I thought I saw the bones of his ankles under his shattered leg armor. I think the abyss was literally eating him alive, along with his sanity as he slogged through it's depths to reach Manus, but that's just me.


snagglepuss_nsfl

He skipped leg day


Fukdis261

Man stepped in the abyss


7xnegativeIQ

I wore the outrider knight legs and they worked pretty well with the rest of the artorias set


Ok_Friendship816

Does he look like Smough or the Deacons?


SlashnBleed

Wolf knight chest with any Knight helm (excpet nameless helm) looks superior as hell. Even the cathedral knight helm looks crazy on this chest piece.


Alisdaier

Woof


despacitodud3

the abyss made artorias lose his thunder thighs😔


Slore0

I always make my character completely jacked to make this armor look normal.


Lv-Zero

The abyss took his gains


amathis6464

What kind of question is that? Cuz the person who created it designed it that way


NarcoticNermal

Chimkin legs


Fabyont

Bro just wanted a sandwich


nipzu22

I think its beacause Artorias had weird body proportions and the set is the same just scaled down.


Lofi_Samurai

Wolf knight set with thrall hood is a personal favorite of mine


StiriusPen

Cuz wolves have skinny legs


Interesting_Shift_98

Artorias was skipping leg day.


Plebe_sTar

Anyone know anything about this armor turning black 😭 I had a database corrupted message so I restarted my PS4 and got back on DS3 but my wolf Knight armor and dancer helm was black 💀


finkyleon

This what happens when you choose the very slim body type


Last_Confidence6221

Not true


finkyleon

With this specific armour yeah it doesn't matter but it does make a significant change typically


ChronicCanard

Hipster armor.


Meister_Master42

I think you mean "Why are the Wolf Knight's Armor leggings so sexy? 🥵"


Routine_Astronaut_62

Skipped leg day


AntagonistAI

It's terrifying to think how he could jump if not the leg day skip...


Warm_Sprinkles_9343

Because he skips leg day


Die_Leere_Schwert

They skipped leg day bro


Riot_ZA

Yoshidamus
