The Carrion: Difference between revisions

'''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]].  

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]].

The first three sets of symbols must be typed with the '''bold''' text decoration in order for them to appear at the correct angles. You can enable text decorations using the command <code>ctrl/alt+q</code>.

Characters inside The Carrion's mouths can also have {{Main color|#9f3737}} as their cell background color, though there are some iterations of the creature where the interiors of the mouths are simply white.
