TOTK QUESTION
Do the Gloombeasts spawn randomly or are they in set locations? I've seen enough people say one or the other that I have no idea which is correct and any time I travel somewhere remote, I start getting nervous like "it's up here somewhere i know it is"

they are in set locations, definitely.
i'm pretty sure that's the case for every enemy in the game? and they're definitely no exception, so you can safely stamp a "BAD HAND GUYS ARE HERE" and avoid that space for eternity
but yeah whenever i see like a big space where i can see no koroks, npcs, animals or other enemies i'm like
i am in danger
oh my god, thank you. I thought that was the case, but so many people act like they can just come outta nowhere!
that's generally how I gauge whether or not I'm in a dangerous area, too. "There's an NPC walking down the road, this is probably fine, there's a bokoblin camp over there, okay, THIS AREA IS DEVOID OF ANYTHING, SOMETHING BAD IS PROBABLY UP HERE"
like, it's fun that the game makes people paranoid about them, which was definitely the intent, but
those rare moments i forgot the danger like "oh what a nice quiet foreaaaAAAAAAAA"
YES. TOTK is SO much scarier than BotW. Like, I landed on a ledge in the Faron Region and was like "that's awfully small for a chasm, isn't i-oh no" "SHRIEEEEEEEK" literally turned around and jumped right back off the cliff
The devs were like "oh, you all want more enemy types? Well, OKAY"
We went from an endless parade of funny little guys with the occasionally scary guy to a blob of hatred that screams when it sees you and will immediately try to strangle you

imo even the scary guys of botw eventually became like "oh hi! 
" but christ even when i know EXACTLY where the hands are, am expecting them, am prepared to fight them, they still manage to make me jump

Oh definitely. It's been so long since I played BotW that all I remembered was how easy it was to take out enemies by the end and forgot how hard it was starting out. BotW: oh a lynel is no big deal anymore TotK: a lizalfo spit on me and kicked my ass immediately
but the gloombeasts are just the worst no matter how many times i see them. aonuma why did you do this to us
i honestly really appreciate them bc they just have made the experience so unforgettable lmao
