Are Burricks supposed to be EVIL?
We All love our cave-dwelling, tunnel-building creatures. They are so cute and adorable and sometimes they are our beloved pets. Nothing to be afraid of. At least in my headcanon and the Thief FMs. I recently played Seven Sisters again for example and theres this Lady who keeps a Baby Burrick as her companion. When you free it, it knows exactly where his 'Mom' lives and they are so happy to be together again.
I actively avoid killing them because they are not that dangerous and they just do their thing - living in packs, just wandering around and if they spot you, their attack is easy to avoid. Just run past them and leave them alone. I dont care if some Burricks dig a Tunnel into a wine cellar. Who am i? A taffin saviour for the noble people?!
But is this view on these "beasts" intended by the developers? There is this concept Art right here where the Burrick looks pretty nasty and aggressive. Maybe they wanted the Burricks to be an evil beast but couldnt quite get it to work and/or the fan community made Burricks friendlier than they were supposed to be? I know that in the original games Ramirez loved his Burricks but yeah maybe the gas attack should have Bern far more dangerous etc.
