A coming event brings new loot to Diablo 4 – including cosmetics, skins, and a special loot pet that is currently a topic of conversation in the community. It is actually a runny nose from a manga.
What kind of event is this? Starting May 6, 2025, you can secure cosmetics and skins from the dark cult manga Berserk as part of a collaboration in Diablo 4. Among other things, you will receive a mount armor and a paint job for your characters. There will also be Berserk skins available for purchase at Tejal’s shop. You can see what cosmetics await you there in our overview.
Among the purchase skins, one package stands out: the Companion Package “The Schnoz.” It contains the pet “Chimimoryo’s likeness” as well as the mount trophy “Mask of Rakshas.” And the Schnoz is sparking enthusiasm – and a little bit of confusion.
“Feels wrong to look at it”
What kind of pet is this? The Schnoz apparently refers to the creature “Chimimoryo” from the Berserk manga. In the story, the being only plays a brief role: The group of the “Black Swordsman” encounters Chimimoryo because it is essentially in their way. The young witch Schierke makes it walk further through thought projection. And the rest of the group annoys the creature until it stumbles over a tree root (via Berserk Wiki).
Since 2003, the creature has been referred to as “Schnoz” by the community. Responsible for this is Walter Bennet, operator of the fan site SkullKnight.net, who simply named the creature “The Schnoz” in a forum post back then. This was because there was no official translation of chapter 215 at the time, he reports on Reddit.
This is how the community reacts to the pet: In a Reddit post, the user spartanb301 shows the new pet in a screenshot and writes, “I am speechless.” 1,600 upvotes show that the Schnoz seems to hit a nerve. The top comment comes from how-could-ai, who simply writes: “I love it.” He collected 560 upvotes.
In the comments, various opinions about the interesting companion are expressed. PossumTrashGang writes: “I don’t want it, but I just need it.” And The_Follower1 thinks: “I hate it – but as a Berserk fan, I still think it’s kind of great.” Others write that it feels “somehow wrong” to look at it. And G-Style666 does not even want to know what the back of the creature looks like.
Others note that the Schnoz is only available for purchase at Tejal’s shop, so they will have to pay platinum for the companion. In general, the shop in Diablo 4 is currently under discussion again, as Blizzard is changing how the battle pass works with the upcoming season 8.
