The beast like creatures which humans and Pthumerians become themselves have many physical and thematic ties to the Moon Presence's actual appearance. In reality, it would appear that the proximity of the moon and therefore the Moon Presence mixed with use of the Old Blood is what triggers the transformation in humans and Pthumerians, into beast like creatures. Its appearance, mixed with the use of Old (Great One) Blood, triggered the scourge of beasthood.īeasthood was understood to be a contagious plague that transformed those afflicted with it into hideous and blood thirsty beasts. We know from the artefacts and descriptions found concerning the Pthumerian civilization under Queen Yharnam that long ago the Blood Moon was seen in the land of Loran. The Blood Moon and therefore the Moon Presence have appeared multiple times in the history of Bloodborne. The Moon Presence is perhaps then, a manifestation of the moon, a physical form for an abstract idea. Interestingly, the moon in Bloodborne does not appear to be in space as it is in our reality, but rather the moon seen in the sky is actually within the atmosphere, so low to the ground that clouds are able to pass in front of and behind it. However, its physical form actually descends from the moon, indicating it is a separate entity, that the moon is simply a place in which it lives which it seems to exercise control over. When it is seen descending in the Hunter's Dream, it appears at the same time that the Blood Moon becomes visible, indicating that when the Blood Moon descends, so does the Moon Presence. Whether it actually is the blood moon or whether it resides on the blood moon is unclear. The Moon Presence is absolutely synonymous with the blood moon.
Its actions are the primary instigator and driving force behind many of the events and situations that have arisen in Yharnam and throughout that world's history. The Moon Presence is a nameless Great One in the world of Bloodborne, a being synonymous with the Blood Moon, Paleblood and the likely source of the Hunter's Dream.
