Rendog Variants: The Masterpost

Back in August, I set out on a journey to watch the entirety of Ren's Hermitcraft backlog. In preparation for an animatic I was starting to think about, I took a mental note of every character I came across. Having recently picked the animatic back up, I've started sorting through this list again, and I thought it would be fun to compile the entire list for anyone who was curious.

I've broken this list down into five categories: Standard, Roleplay Characters, Possessors, Friends, and Enemies.

Due to the amount of Ren Variants there are, I have had to split the list up into several reblogs. The full thread can be found here.

Disclaimer: This list includes only Rens from Hermitcraft and Third Life/Last Life. Variants from other series will not be included on this list, mostly because I haven't yet had the time to go through and learn about them. In addition, there are a few of Ren's standard skins that, due to Tumblr's image limit, I could not include in the posts. This includes Ren's Get Gorgeous and lumberjack skins from season 7. Apologies for the missing Rens!

More pre-existing evidence has surfaced and has been collected to further solidify our theory:

• Tomato Yoshi - ninja dog rat, 10/10

• Longren Silver - pirate dog, 10/10

• Nigel Silverfeather - disguised dog, 10/10

• Renperor - dictator dog, 10/10

• The Apprentice - murder dog zabrak, 10/10

This discovery introduces non-dog characters, a deviance to precious findings. Despite the variables, they are unequivocally perfect and thus aligns with our initial claim--how exciting!

Rating Rendog characters–a professional, thoroughly researched analysis:

• Renson - detective dog, 10/10

• RenBob - hippie dog, 10/10

• Grimdog - reaper dog, 10/10

• Ren the Kid - cowboy dog, 10/10

• Triple R - pro-wrestler dog, 10/10

• The Red King - royal dog, 10/10

• Stargazer - space dog, 10/10

based on my extensive and non-biased study i can form the hypothesis that every ren character is perfect, thank you for listening

Rendog Variants: Roleplay Characters and Possessors

Ren's Roleplay Characters and Possessors are both actually Ren. Either Ren dressing up as a character or Ren being possessed by some outside being. Typically, Roleplay characters are benevolent and possession characters are not, though this is not always the case.

Roleplay Characters

Ren played Renson during the Jangler arc in season 6. Renson was a play off of Sherlock Grian, who Ren and Doc had hired to help them solve the case of the Jangler and their missing diamonds. Over the course of the investigation, he was referred to both as Scooby-Doo and as Dogson. Notably, Renson was the one who suggested the method they eventually used to solve the case.

Nigel Silverfeather is an interesting case among Ren's roleplay characters, in that the fact he's a roleplay character is actively commented on in the narrative, rather than merely implied. He appears during Grian and Ren's scouting mission to Falseworth, when they take a tour to gain information about Area 77. He's played, rather unconvincingly, as an upper-class British tourist who's there on vacation.

RentheKid was the character Ren played during the Game of Life arc in early season 7. He was a cowboy/sheriff character who was originally meant to suit the western theme of the Game of Life, but who was quickly tied into a more emotional arc after Jevin stole Ren's mooshroom Pamela and held her for ransom. With his beloved Pamela in the balance, Ren had no choice but to win the Game of Life, and so Renthekid challenged Doc Holliday to a duel. In a tragic turn of events, he lost the duel, and we never saw him return.

Triple R was Ren's wrestling persona, and his last chance to save Pamela before Jevin killed her. He participated in the Hermit Wrestling Federation's biggest match. Due to the stakes involved, Triple R cheated to ensure his own victory in his match, using strength potions that were provided to him by the Goatfather to throw the match in his direction.

The Red King was a character Ren played in 3rd Life. He took up this mantle after sacrificing his yellow life, with the main goal of defending Dogwarts and fighting alongside the Red Army. While he managed to stay alive until the final session of Third Life, he was eventually slain within Dogwarts' walls, in a last stand against the Crastle Alliance.

Possessors

Grimmdog is the entity that possessed Ren during Demise. He was the first Hermit to turn gray, and established much of how Greyskin life was handled. Grimmdog became a figurehead of sorts for the Greyskins, often appearing to welcome new Greyskins and tending to the graveyard they respawned in. After Demise's completion, Grimmdog made a deal with Iskall: He'd go through a gauntlet of five challenges, determined by Iskall, and should he survive all of them he'd get 500 diamonds. Should he die during any of them, he'd be freed from the Demise curse. Grimmdog survived two of the five challenges and died during his third, releasing Ren to the living and never being heard from again.
