What makes the Meow Skulls skin in Fortnite so unique?
The Meow Skulls skin in Fortnite is one of the many cat-themed skins added to the game over the years, expanding the trend started by Meowscles in Chapter 2 Season 2. The skin was introduced to the game as part of the Chapter 3 Season 4 Battle Pass and added a layer of goth and humor to the otherwise bleak setting of Paradise.
The Meow Skulls skin in Fortnite dons a design that makes it clear that the character is related to Meowscles, the musclebound kitty introduced as part of Midas' roster in Chapter 2 Season 2. Further context clues and interactions with characters tell players that Meow Skulls is Meowscles's younger sister who clearly took a much different path in life than her enforcer brother.
What was the role of the Meow Skulls skin in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4?
While Chapter 3 Season 4, officially titled Paradise, was one of the more lore-heavy seasons in the game, the Meow Skulls skin in Fortnite did not play much of a prominent role in the season's storyline. As a matter of fact, Meow Skulls primary claim to fame is her connection to the Meowscles skin and other cat-themed skins in the game.
Meow Skulls can be seen as one of the many characters that came to the Island over the years, though her arrival came during a tumultuous period. However, despite not having much direct involvement, the Meow Skulls skin in Fortnite still has a distinctive vibe, as it provides a fresh take on the Meowscles design scheme.
This not only allowed developers to have a more vibrant character in contrast with the bleak setting of Chapter 3 Season 4 but also provided a unique iteration of the classic cat-themed skins.
How is the Meow Skulls skin in Fortnite related to other cat skins?
As mentioned, Meow Skulls is the younger sister to Meowscles, but her connections don't stop there. Being Meowscles' sister also makes her the aunt of Kit, the motorhead kitty introduced in Chapter 2 Season 3, who was revealed to be the child of Meowscles and Lynx.
This also suggests that, since Meowscles and Lynx were likely married, Meow Skulls is also sister-in-law to Lynx, the tech genius introduced back in Chapter 1 Season 7. While there are other minor characters like Phantom Meowscles to who Meow Skulls is indirectly connected, those connections have not been confirmed or clarified in the game.
Will the Meow Skulls skin in Fortnite ever come back?
Since Meow Skulls was part of the Chapter 3 Season 4 Battle Pass, the skin will never be brought back to the game, even through the Fortnite Item Shop. As is the case with all Battle Pass cosmetics up until Chapter 5 Season 3, the skin was available to players who played the game during Chapter 3 Season 4, and unlocked the Meow Skulls Outfit.
While it is no longer possible for players to acquire the Meow Skulls skin in Fortnite, Epic Games is likely to release some variation of the outfit in the future. Be sure to check out the Fortnite Item Shop tomorrow to see if the developers add something to that effect.
