If The Crimson Was Real..

[Purplex :)]

We all know the crimson is not a pretty place, a land of literal flesh and blood, one of the reasons its so disturbing is the fact its so.. unnatural looking a land that shouldnt even exist luckily though, the crimson isnt real but what if it was.. what whould it look like, how dangerous whould it be, and most importantly, how many nightmares whould you have for a week or more from looking at a crimtane creature, prepare to grossed out, and oh yeah, dont read this while you are eating food or you probally vomit with that out of the way here we go,
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The crimson: the crimson is one nightmare fuel of a zone, with literal meat, bone, flesh and blood as its "natural" resource, the place is literally a giant formless mound of ever-growing flesh,
We always say the crimson is creepy in game, but imagine it in real life, picture this...
a blood {puns} red land with grass saturated with blood, grayish trees with pieces of flesh and organs hanging from the branches, the smell of the place whould make you vomit, you know how bad rotten meat smells? well imagine an entire place of rotting meat and blood, giant mounds of crimstone which seems to be solidified blood whould stand out in the landscape like giant tumors or worts in the ground, if you had the heart to venture inside, the smell whould be probally even worse making you gag the whole time inside, then you have the creatures, imagine a pack of blood crawlers or a group of face monsters chasing you pure natural nightmare fuel itself, the worst part whould be the zone is highly infected with viruses, disease you name it, even breathing in the air inside the crimson whould be lethal, if you drank from the water if you had the stomach you whould be infected possibly dying, if you just slain a crimtane creature and its blood squirted into your eyes you whould be infected, literally anything in the crimson whould be fatal, unless you had a hazmat suit and a fresh oxygen tank, simply put, you whouldnt survive very long at all,
and then the worst part whould be its ability to spread, imagine one day simply relaxing on a chair drinking tea while watching the forest/purity then you wake the next day and its been trasformed from a tranquil pleasant land into a literall bloody hell, and that horrible feeling of watching your world being slowly but surely being consumed and transformed into the crimson, and if you cant stop it or you can`t afford a clentaminator, well good luck, if not contained or removing like mold it becomes an even bigger issue, if not turning all of terraria/the world into one giant organism ready to consume the once tranquil terraria`s planetary neighbors like its moon into crimson
EDIT: oh yes i almost forgot to mention the UNDERGROUND crimson and its inhabitants
the smell whould you make vomit, i whould assume the underground parts of the blood lands whould be very warm and damp {with blood of course} so that whould mean it whould a breeding ground for disease, viruses and so much more even touching the crimstone whould be dangerous, and then the hellish abominations that call it home
the ichor sticker is a giant floating squid like being, that has the ability to squirt a yellowish fluid called "Ichor" with its tooltip: the blood of the gods, that chould mean its a parasitic being that feeds off god beings like cthulhu and uses its blood as defense and its way of killing the ichor is dangerous to the touch, getting shot by the ichor streams whould be very dangerous, the ichor is possibly acidic allowing it to break down your armour or even skin which whould explain why it does so much damage and reduces defense points allowing the ichor sticker to shoot a second stream allowing to pierce your flesh and break it down until you turn into a blob of flesh, remaining half solid bone and blood and just imagine what it does to your broken down body after you die from the acidic ichor,
Blood crawlers are a human sized spider like creature, instead of using venom like most spiders it seems to use brute force to hunt and kill so using fangs to pierce flesh, like other spiders it can climb walls, i whould assume the blood crawler is a "ambush predator" a predator that ambushes its prey and kills it before the victim can even see what hit it, and imagine having jump on your body out of nowhere on the helpless as it drives its fang through your flesh, we have yet to see a blood crawler nest and possibly its queen but i whould assume considering the crimson`s gore/blood theme it whould heart shaped, or it uses webs, if not it chould like the goliath bird eating spider of brazil, instead of making web or using a trap like the trapdoor spider instead it wanders around looking for food.
Floaty gross, im not sure what its supposed to be but im pretty it chould be a defiled spirit, corrupted and infused with the crimson becoming yet another abomination or it chould a person who was unlucky to wander to to deep into the crimson before perishing and its spirit who before it go to the afterlife it was infused with the crimson and its spiritual body mutated, the bottom of it appears to be some kind of bag hanging underneath it possibly filled with body fluid like bile or the acidic ichor, it doesnt seem to use its ichor if it has any, the top of its head appears to its exposed brain or perhaps just a misshaped head, its most unusual ability is its ability to go through walls which backs up the theory its a trapped defiled spirit, curiously enough, it drops vitamins which im not how to explain that either when it was alive it had a jar of vitamins on him/her or its just a gameplay mechanic,
And finally the brain of cthulhu, it is a giant floating brain with purplish tentacles at the bottom and odd floating eyeball like beings called "creepers" [alot better then mc creepers} that follow around, they seem to some kind of beacon of power, that allows the brain to not be able to die, if all the creepers are destroyed the brain becomes vulnerable to attack which allowed our brave terrarian to strike it dow, im not sure about brain`s orgin, but it chould just another body part of cthulhu that fell onto terraria like the eye of cthulhu and decided to make its home in the,
the other creatures i can easily explain,
crimera are possibly mutated birds or maybe even mutated eater of souls which means that corruption actually exists at the same time as the crimson in some continent
face monsters are mutated humans, zombies, goblins and other humanoid beings with the instincts of a predator
herlpings are just well animated blobs of meat maybe even the reanimated fleshy blobs of the victims that died to the ichor sticker`s ichor attack\
crimslimes are well just slimes mutated by the crimson

So pretty much it would be a wasteland of decease? Mmm. Makes sense.
10/10 would go get the Black Plague again.

[Beelzebub Crumpethorn]

we'd all enclose it and if god forebid one of us gets some sort of disease from there, they shall eat their foot and then die footless...

[Man, that was dark]

Glad you haven’t mentioned the Underground Crimson populated with human-sized spiders shooting pus in your face... and ghosts mostly made of pus.

And a flying brain casting hordes of infected eyeballs to tear your body apart and with the power to create shadows of himself.

Actually enjoyable to read big 10/10
