Ernesto, also known as Ernesto The Magic Talking Anglerfish, is a popular fan character created by the community of the 2019 action-adventure video game Outer Wilds. He first appeared in the Outer Wilds mod New Horizons Examples, and has since been circulating within the modding community as an inside joke and unofficial mascot.
Description[]
Ernesto is a talking anglerfish who regularly makes appearances in Outer Wilds mods. He loves to chat (he took speaking as an elective in college) and is mostly passive, with the exception of occasionally beating you to death with a rock. He is married to a talking jellyfish named Geswaldo, who was also introduced in New Horizons Examples.
