'''The Carrion''', also stylized as '''CARRION'''<ref>The creature was initially dubbed "'''The Tomato Sauce Monster'''" or "'''The Teratoma Terror'''" by [[FP]].

'''The 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. Most depictions of it are from a single user named CARRION, of whom nothing is know outside of their signature creation.  


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 popularity of The Carrion has inspired the creation of several other amorphous blobs which would appear alongside it in a loose canon. Some of these are simple recolors of The Carrion, while others (''such as The Sludge by [[Crazy Cat Lady]]'') have drastically different designs.  


An on-site archive of Carrion art can be found at [https://ourworldoftext.com/ArtArchive#x:31,y:10 /ArtArchive#x:31,y:10].

An animated Carrion script is being developed by [[Banksy]] as of December 2025.
 
The finished product will (likely) be a pulsating mass that can be controlled around the canvas. Several components of it have been created so far, such as the animation for a tendril lash that can be aimed to destroy text, and several physics simulations that expand in organic patterns towards where the user clicks.

Latest revision as of 01:13, 28 December 2025

The Carrion[1] is a sentient mass of red flesh that appears at Spawn from time to time. Most depictions of it are from a single user named CARRION, of whom nothing is know outside of their signature creation.

The popularity of The Carrion has inspired the creation of several other amorphous blobs which would appear alongside it in a loose canon. Some of these are simple recolors of The Carrion, while others (such as The Sludge by Crazy Cat Lady) have drastically different designs.

An on-site archive of Carrion art can be found at /ArtArchive#x:31,y:10, though it is no longer being updated. /archivetests also contains most of the Carrions shown below.

IT IS BEAUTIFUL, IS IT NOT?

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.

Automated Carrion generator

Created by e_g. in October 2025. Currently not available to the public.

For Halloween 2025, e_g. scattered randomly generated Carrions throughout the frontpage and challenged users to find them in a treasure hunt.

Animated Carrion

Main article: Banksy § Animated_Carrion

An animated Carrion script is being developed by Banksy as of December 2025.

The finished product will (likely) be a pulsating mass that can be controlled around the canvas. Several components of it have been created so far, such as the animation for a tendril lash that can be aimed to destroy text, and several physics simulations that expand in organic patterns towards where the user clicks.

Trivia

  • The creator of The Carrion is friends with Crazy Cat Lady, 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.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 These two forms of the Carrion have been reused multiple times since their initial creation, often as parts of a larger, original design. Meanwhile, a design that combines these two forms has appeared at Spawn on several occasions.
