Dinner manners, cooking skills and more of every citizen of hell!

Ever wanted to invite your friends over, say for a party, but don't know how to make chat with them and their interests?

Ever wondered what food certain people would be able to taste and enjoy, but otherwise be completely unable to taste?

Wonder no more, for this educational document covers all current creations resting in hell as of the discovery of the violence layer.

FILTH

Filth are known for their agility, able to run at Olympic speeds.
They are far more predator-like than human. They are carnivorous and have practically no table manners. They are also poor chefs, but they are exceptional hunting pets.

A filth can be as short as 5'4 and as tall as 5'9, weighing in at about 105 lbs. Their green skin camouflages them in the bushes of Limbo, waiting to pounce at any unwary prey.

STRAY

Strays are nearly identical to humans. They have one major separating difference though: they can hurl flames and fireballs.
This alone, if mastered (which most are forced to) can make them exceptional chefs who don't even need equipment.
Just like humans though, their situation has forced them into a world of famine and war. Most of them likely won't have the best table manners, but other than eating quickly and messily they'd likely make good friends.

It really depends who you talk to when it comes to Strays, as each can have varying personalities. One thing to note is that generally the young haven't mastered the art of cooking and the elder are more prone to accidents. They are the third most smart husks as of the discovery of the Violence layer.

SCHISM

Schisms are the freak result of two Strays attempting to teleport or form at the same area at the same time.
The two bodies form together as a sort of "telefrag" with one having most of the control over the top part of the body and one having most of the control over the bottom.

This is not a perfect explanation, as there's always variance and never perfect equilibrium with these two, but this is as perfect as it can get.

Schisms are carnivorous prey, a mix of the attributes of Filth and Strays. They are very resilient to all kinds of bites and burns, able to use their rapid spread fireballs to burn holes through filth, strays and low tier creatures.

This has led to their downfall, however, as they are terrible chefs. Whenever they try to cook something with their rapid powers there's bound to be a forest fire inside your house.

Not only that, but they have very poor table manners, likely due to their low intelligence. They also eat very slowly compared to other creatures.

They often weigh 250 to 370 lbs. Despite this, they are surprisingly healthy, as having twice the body mass does spread out unhealthy fats quite a lot.

SOLDIER

Soldiers are cybernetically rebuilt Strays. They do not eat, and are instead put on basic life support. They often look anorexic and very thin compared to their regular counterparts.

They are very resilient, as under their skin is metal. Generally soldiers can only be manufactured, made from the ground up from Strays who met their untimely demise likely being mauled to death by filth. This explains why their flesh is also much more decayed and colorless, and why only some limbs are robotic.

They are the best chefs when it comes to husks, as their cybernetic hand can shoot multiple fireballs in a closed burst, cooking meals in seconds.

They are programmed quite poorly, relying mostly on visual sensors to reply and execute. Despite this, they are quite respectful and have good hearing and table manners. They are likely to take requests and help you.

Soldiers are the smartest husks.

STALKER

Stalkers are the 4th most intelligent Husks, and are very brittle. They have been tasked with carrying hell's special spice around.

Stalkers are herbivorous and carry protective equipment everywhere they go. Their skin is inedible from all the work they do, and even if it were, what they wear makes sure it isn't. As for this and their charming salesman attitude, Stalkers almost never get attacked by others.

Stalkers are great chefs - but not in the way the previous ones were. They carry a massive barrel of absolutely scrumptious spice around and can use it to make food cleaner - dissolving blood and replacing it with said spice.

Stalkers are the lightest husks in hell, weighing 40 to 55 lbs on average. Only a filthy machine could hate them!

SISYPHEAN INSURRECTIONIST

Pheas are known for their incredible strength, being able to carry the incredibly heavy Maurices like they're nothing, flailing them wildly as a weapon.

They are carnivorous and can weigh up to 430 lbs, but are incredibly fit. They act similarly to Cerberi, but are instead organic and live to serve Sisyphus - be it his tomb, relics or constructions. They are quite sparse, but go on rampages when provoked, which has killed dozens of even the strongest angels and demons before.

They have no table manners, and are sort of forced not to, as the way they eat has them turn meat into pulp, then slurp up the nutrients with their bone-like teeth protruding out of their dismembered body.

They cannot cook or help in the kitchen.

FERRYMAN

Ferrymen are the second most intelligent husks and are omnivorous, sharing a lot in common with Strays.

Despite this, they couldn't be further apart. Ferrymen have been seen held together by a possibly theoretically divine power, as when their cloaks are torn off it reveals a skeleton.
Further proving this theory is that every time a body of a ferrymen was recovered it had its bones broken or severed, generally through the spine, head or chest.

One example is Hank, who was discovered with his head severed and later left at an upper layer. As his bones "decomposed" and power was stripped from him his bones went from blue to white. This phenomenon needs to be discovered further to be proven.

Ferrymen make good chefs, as their intelligence allows them to operate complex equipment and they can use their powers to summon lightning. Every instance of using their lightning to cook something, however, has always ended in either obliterating the meal or overcooking it.

Ferrymen are highly respectful and eat with great manners. They are very social and even allow you onto their ferry, wheres most other husks are either highly territorial or aggressive, needing to be approached slowly.

OWL MAN

Incredibly social and hell's best chef, having both spice and controlled fire.
Keep an eye on him, wouldn't want said spice to be poisonous.

BLOOD THING

Every machine's dream. Can't cook or talk, only to be used as a punching bag for the bigger punching bag.

CORPSE OF MINOS

Minos, once a gentle king who was great mannered and social was struck down for having those who lived with him enjoy greatness that was deemed "unnecessary" by the higher council. While he is better at cooking now, his body forces him to cook what he had refrigerated. As he sees everyone who he loved and who loved him be defrosted by his infested body he knows he died for what he lived for.

BLUE BOY

Creature that can only be theoretically described as Minos's soul. Was brought back to life by the power of friendship, but was then put in jail.

An exceptionally social and great chef, but no-one will ever know now that he's trapped. All attempts to retrieve him have failed.

RED RAG

It is unknown who this is. Clearly not Sisyphus, he's just too fat to be.

He's fat, so likely not the best table manners.

He's fat so he's either an amazing chef or a nightmare.

A WICKED SOMETHING

Contact is lethal.
Upon contact, phases creature into itself, like an instantaneous black hole.
Unknown if it cooks meal before consumption.
Seems antisocial, doesn't like you disturbing its session.
Locked in some kind of basement?

MAURICE

The Maurice are the second smartest species of demon as of the discovery of the Violence layer. They have been known to act like massive spiders, they are quite territorial but otherwise very helpful for the environment, being made out of stone and able to shoot fireballs at low tier creatures with ease.

Their primary method of eating require they burn their prey sufficiently so they can crush it between their stone teeth. This is because their body is very stiff, including their mouth.

The Maurice are well-mannered and are exceptionally great chefs in the entirety in hell. Without them, Filth would roam freely due to their high re-productivity and would be hard to keep in check.

Interestingly, the legs of Maurice cannot be interacted with or damaged. They also seem to be able to extend to any surface no matter how far or how slippery, as long as it is solid. It would theoretically be impossible for such slim legs to carry a 700lb stone, but they fly anyway.

CERBERUS

The cerberus is the third most intelligent demon. They seem to be omnivorous, but they just phase meat into their stone bodies. It has also been discovered that starved Cerberi drop less meat than fed Cerberi when their bodies are cracked open.

The Cerberi are good but slow chefs, taking time to perfectly cook any meal from any range with their energy ball. Such perfection may only be necessary in 5 star restaurants in Limbo, where there are also highly respected Cerberi waitresses.

Cerberi are also highly territorial, guarding the doors to hell. They will not hesitate to burn you alive.

They can be up to 14'8 and weigh up to 500lbs. Despite this, they cannot get fatter or skinnier. They simply self-destruct after gorging themselves past the total amount of meat their body can store.

Cerberi are also never created separate. They seem to fade into reality by hell under mysterious circumstances, and always have either a twin or a family.

HIDEOUS MASS

The Hideous Mass is a mass of a lot of creatures forced into one, similar to a schism. Instead, these are created purposefully in rituals designed to spawn enough hell mass in one area to cause an outbreak. This will morph all dead bodies into one, 6 feet under the ground. One a young mass has harnessed enough energy, it will break its hands through the ground.

Hideous masses are the toughest demons you can find early on. They are carnivorous, highly territorial and insanely resistant, boasting mortars to blast anything apart. They can also flip themselves over, using their hook to bring food closer to them and then using the teeth on their hands to eat.
They are fairly bad at cooking because of the explosive nature of their mortars, and have next to no table manners either. This is because they are a highly pure creation of hell energy, with consciousness being given to hell's hivemind instead of a true sentience.
Hell energy is a lot like radiation.

While all the previous creatures had at least some, and some like Strays had learned to harvest its power, none of the previous creatures had to be made out of hell energy to be created. In fact, that's half the reason why they look so damaged aside from hell being hell.

Because of all these factors, it'd be impossible to have a tea party with the Hideous Mass. Sorry.

IDOL

It's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ statue, what do you want me to say?

MANNEQUIN

Mannequin are the smartest demons in hell. They are extremely territoriality aggressive and are made of a substantial amount of hell energy condensed into a small casing. This destroys the mind of the attempted escapees who were forever entombed into these casings, leaving them no freedom over their actions.

Left forever trapped in a body that now mangles them, there can be up to two people forced into a single mannequin at once, forced to break all their bones repeatedly, forever, just to move.

Mannequin are ambush predators, hiding and camouflaging within the halls of Violence waiting to strike. They are incredibly quick and get their name from the way they pose to appear innocent. Interestingly, Mannequin is plural for Mannequin, but there's also Mannequin's.

Mannequin are good chefs who can cook with the hell energy they shoot, however, they cannot eat and do not stick around in areas with lots of creatures unless they want to attack.

LEVIATHAN

The oldest known demon to reside in hell even after the discovery of Wrath and Violence! Created by a large mass forming with hell energy like the Hideous Mass, except this time the sufferers don't consent.

Leviathans are rather disocial, eating very messily and not staying after mating. Despite these downsides, they are amazing cooks. They can cook hundreds of meals at once and in varying ways!

Not only that, they're quite friendly despite their gargantuan size. Unless threatened by quick movement, they are like snakes. Keep your sightseeing at a distance and walk away slowly to stay alive.

Minotaur

The Minotaur is the oldest surviving creature and is the only non-humanoid fauna to exist in hell. But that's only what you know. It was a very social creature once, now traumatised by the poor treatment and lack of love it was given by whom I gave it to. It runs rampant in Violence, trying to find its owner and its freedom one last time until it disintegrates.

SWORDSMACHINE

Swordsmachines feed on blood and can rebuild themselves from scrap. This is why machines bleed. Yes, V2 feeds on blood as fuel, it just doesn't heal him. This is why machines bleed. My headcanon, I win.

There is not much to say. Swordsmachines could make good chefs, but only because they are masterful with their cutting skills.
They also seem to be quite social and can be easily angered. Despite being agile, they struggle to take down anything quicker than it.

They have a high blood intake of 6 pints per day. They can run on a minimum of 1 pint per day for 4 days before shutting off.

DRONE

Drones used to be security devices, but now they can take in hell energy and shoot it out in a burst of three balls. This makes them good chefs. They are also highly social, chirping like birds. They enjoy moving and are quite playful.

Drones are the friendliest machines and can even identify humans as a non-threat! Don't jump on it or ride it though, unless you want your ass's hole to get a whole lot bigger.

They have a low blood intake of 0.5 pints per day. They act like vultures, hunting dead bodies and in large packs when hungry. To play it safe, take a small donation of blood in a bottle either donated by yourself or an enemy of yours.

STREETCLEANERS

Streetcleaners are quite aggressive, coming out at night to burn bodies and intruders to crisp.
They are some of the quickest chefs in hell, but you better keep a close eye on them as they won't hesitate to overcook your food, curtains, house, lawn etc. They are also antisocial, seeming unusually upset when it's day and angry at night.

They have a medium blood intake of 1 pint per day. Their flamethrower is ineffective at getting blood from their enemies, so they will often go on killing sprees and just burning everything in general when hungry.

MINDFLAYERS

Mindflayers are rare and exceptional lures. They are highly dangerous, but given enough blood and you can make them friendly.

Mindflayers are very social and are also very friendly, being incredible chefs. But being friendly doesn't make them nice. They have various stingers that will electrocute you and release a lot of hell energy in their attacks and deaths, making it so even if you survive, your skin will melt as you die in the next week.

Interestingly, their body is made of latex. There also seems to be no male versions, despite clearly being gendered.

Mindflayers take a high amount of 6 pints of blood per day to feed. They have no problem getting this amount from unruly prey and will mutilate the bodies with their stingers, supposedly "the last drop of blood always tastes the best"

SENTRIES

Boring.

GUTTERMEN

Guttermen are incredibly aggressive, but don't take in blood like most machines do, surprisingly!
Instead, they have a host body in a coffin attached to their back with life support to feed the machine's body.

Guttermen are antisocial not like how Mindflayers are, but simply because that's not what they were made for. As an early war machine design, they weren't designed with fame in mind like the swordsmachine or basic security yet prettiness like Drones, they were made out of necessity.

They take 13 pints of blood to feed each day, constantly sucking and draining the host body. At least 3 pints of blood aren't necessary to donate and are lost simply because the machine is so pointlessly aggressive and reckless.

GUTTERTANKS

From being the strongest enemy in the game to the weakest, literally making you unkillable (if you read 0-3's tip of the day), the Guttertank is a masterclass in both making an iconic machine and a powerful one.

Guttertanks are incredibly social, even if they can't cook. They love trying to dance, even if they always slip (making you unkillable). They are also the younger child of the designers, being their favorite and most proud work. Poor Gutterman.

Guttertanks take a large 8 pints of blood each day to feed. They are generally more defensive and rend enemies apart with their fists more than they do with their rockets.

EARTHMOVERS

Earthmovers are very social machines, who enjoy helping others. He takes things slow unlike Guttertank and enjoys deep, personal relationships.

They are also very good at cooking, helping you even in long-distance relationships!

They don't need blood, as they are powered by a cpu that already comes filled with enough to last it forever.

V2

V2 is basically human. They are social, angered by "stop hitting yourself" jokes and are good at cooking. Slower than V1, but still fairly quick.
Going by lore, there'd be no reason for V2 to exist since Guttertank beats Gutterman, Earthmover beats everything and V1 beats Earthmover (not guaranteed). This means there'd be no reason for anyone to make a V2 to beat V1 since V1 wasn't released yet. Not only that, V2 sucks at his job and is slowed down by the extra weight of the metal he's made of. Because of this, the people who made V1 must've been working on V2, but since V2 was so much slower and less sustainable than V1 there'd really be no need as there was no counters to V1 yet. Were they planning to have a show where'd V1 would fight his counterpart? Who knows?? All I know is that implications of recent lore show there'd be no reason to make V2.

whoops forgot to read the terminal entries about v2 apparently he was designed to be peaceful

Anyway, he needs 5 pints of human blood to live. V1, I assume, would need more.

JON

Robotic doppelganger of Jon, famous r34 and r63 artist. Camouflaged to hide within the walls of Jon's home and steal his thigh highs, then bring it back to The Creator. Famously murdered Jon after he discovered JON in his closet. He then committed suicide by hitting Jon with a grenade. Rest in peace. Both of you.

VIRTUES

Virtues are amazing chefs. They are, quite unfortunately, unable to socialise in any way other than flying slowly in a cool pattern. They are quite lonely, possibly because of how impatient they are. Their blood tastes the best.

GABRIEL

Egotistical ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, who also knows how to cook really well. Sells merchandise themed around himself. Has a weird fetish for medieval European knight furry roleplay. Never takes off his clothes and owns two katanas.

FLESH PRISON

Mysterious mass of flesh somehow created by a concentrated amount of hell energy yet in the hands of the angels. Found inside Minos's corpse. Cooks well, though highly antisocial.

Scientists have stuck various objects up the mouth of the prison before. Organic meat would be eaten, but it would refuse inedible objects. Seems to be able to eat the most poisonous foods on the planet with no problem.

FLESH PRISON²

Ditto.

CANCEROUS RODENT

It's like the immortal snail problem but the snail isn't immortal.

VERY CANCEROUS RODENT

Ditto but fireballs.

[Ain]

Take my favorite

[Ain]

Ngl this is epic

[Artificer]

... IS THAT COOKING

[<#76428a>Sharkbilby]

That is indeed what the mindflayer was hinted at

[Klanko Mantard]

latex body ?

[hparks0000]

you described gabriel PERFECTLY

[XS]

How much time did you take to make this?? True dedication, unlike my father.

[AwesomeSause]

Sharkbilby does it again

[Myst3ry X]

unironically such a good guide

[<#76428a>Sharkbilby]

Thanks for clearing that up about V2, completely forgot about that.

I still like the headcanon that male mindflayers were hunted to extinction more than them being rare but I know I'm wrong
