The Carrion, also stylized as CARRION[1], 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.

First recorded instance of The Carrion on November 11th, 2024. This prototype was covered with yellow warts and had eyes made from block characters. It did not contain any Symbols for Legacy Computing, nor did it make use of the ability to customize cell background colors, since that feature wouldn't be enabled at spawn until much later.

How to Make a Carrion

The color of The Carrion's flesh is #d00000 . Most of its body is composed of the full block character "█"(U+219).

As an amorphous creature, the Carrion's body can be whatever shape the artist desires. It is covered by multiple eyes and mouths, which can be arranged in any order.

The Carrion's eyes and mouths make use of several triangle symbols:

  • Sides of the Irises: ◄, ►
  • Corners of the Eyes ◤, ◥, ◣, ◢
  • Teeth: ▼, ▲
  • Corners of the Mouth: 🭡, 🭖, 🭐, 🭅 (Can't be rendered on the wiki due to them being Symbols for Legacy Computing)

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 ctrl/alt+q.

Characters inside The Carrion's mouths can also have #9f3737 

as their cell background color, though there are some iterations of the creature where the interiors of the mouths are simply white.

Trivia

  • The anonymous creator of The Carrion is friends with CCL, who joined OWOT at around the same time as the flesh mass' first sightings.
  • The Carrion is inspired by the 2020 video game of the same name.

Notes

  1. ↑ 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.
