When Epic Games first envisioned Fortnite, it was a realistic, terrifying experience. Throughout development, the art style changed to match the more playful action elements.

In a new video featuring art director Pete Ellis, we get a chance to see how one enemy type evolved from concept to implementation. The Husk still bears the original look of the skull ejecting from the mouth, but it now has a goofier look.

There are multiple types of these creatures, with some pelting players with baseballs and others lumbering around waiting to detonate propane tanks.
