'''The Carrion''', ~~formerly called "~~'''''The Tomato Sauce Monster'''''" or "'''''The Teratoma Terror'''''," is a sentient mass of red flesh that appears at ~~spawn~~ from time to time. It is created from ~~unicodes~~ and [[Symbols for Legacy Computing]].

'''The Carrion''', also stylized as '''CARRION'''<ref>The creature was initially dubbed "'''The Tomato Sauce Monster'''" or "'''The Teratoma Terror'''" by [[FP]]. OWOTers began referring to it as "The Carrion" in February of 2025, though there was an isolated instance of [[Rscr]] calling it by that name in late November 2024.</ref>, is a sentient mass of red flesh that appears at [[Spawn]] from time to time. It is created from unicode and [[Symbols for Legacy Computing]].

~~It is unclear whether there is~~ a single ~~creator behind The Carrion~~, ~~or if~~ it~~'s a shared idea between many different users~~.

Most instances of The Carrion are drawn by a single artist, though other users have created recolored variants of it. In addition to these clones, The Carrion would also appear alongside The Sludge and The Void, two creations of [[Crazy Cat Lady]].

~~Historically~~, The Carrion ~~has interacted with several other amorphous text creatures, most of which were created by different users. These include~~ The Sludge and The Void, two ~~black unicode blobs by~~ [[Crazy Cat Lady]]~~, and Mustard, a yellow version of The Carrion~~.
