"I am a great soft jelly thing. Smoothly rounded, with no mouth, with pulsing white holes filled by fog where my eyes used to be. Rubbery appendages that were once my arms; bulks rounding down into legless humps of soft slippery matter. I leave a moist trail when I move. Blotches of diseased, evil gray come and go on my surface, as though light is being beamed from within. Outwardly: dumbly, I shamble about, a thing that could never have been known as human, a thing whose shape is so alien a travesty that humanity becomes more obscene for the vague resemblance. Inwardly: alone. Here. Living under the land, under the sea, in the belly of AM, whom we created because our time was badly spent and we must have known unconsciously that he could do it better." - Mankind, upon enslaving itself with Abominable Intelligence.

Here’s also the original Blob Monster design from the 1995 MS-DOS point-and-click game I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream that this Wumpus version is based on. Knowing the context, this is potentially the most torturous image of Wumpus yet lol

Fun fact: every character said a part of the original monologue. In the novel, Ted says it. In the game, any survivor can be the unlucky survivor.
