The Cornivore

November 21, 2018 at 12:00 AM

A Genetically Modified Crazy Cornstalk

The Cornivore has arrived at the Science and Research Center in Ark City, without having to fund any research (it seems the SARC may have used some leftover EC from a previous fund!). It seems that this creature was part of a research project that began a few years ago, as outlined in its Archives entry:

Cornivores are a genetically modified organism created by the Science and Research Center in Ark City. Research began to find a freeze-resistant strain of corn a few years back and the Cornivore is the culmination of that research. The Cornivore can indeed withstand freezing temperatures and not die but there was another unexpected side effect from the experimentation: the Cornivore likes to devour other plants (all others except corn). This makes them an incredibly dangerous invasive species.

They are available for purchase from the Creature Labs for 1,000,000 EC each.

Support the Efni Fund

The Efni is still being actively researched at the Science and Research Center. The fund is nearly halfway to its goal. More support is needed!

Many EC sinks as of late, few EC fountains 😋

It looks quite a-MAIZE-ing. 😉 Hey, you set 'em up and I'll knock 'em down.

I find its face oddly cute in the last stage.

I miss that one user that used to complete the EC fund in a whim. Not too fond of the Cornivore, I want an Efni, they look amazing.

@foxbit, you mean Glados? 😱 They used to do a bunch of auctions and then donated the EC to the SARC

solaris • 21 Nov 2018, 6:05 PM

I think I’ll have to get one just because that pun is amazing!

Is the cornivore drawn by the same person who did the turkey? It's a twistedly unique drawing style!

jirachiwishmaker • 21 Nov 2018, 6:45 PM

I guess I'm in shock, whoa! Cool creature!

foxbit • 21 Nov 2018, 9:30 PM

@prairie Yup, Glados. Or should I write it as GLaDOS? Hmm.

I think the Eggcave team is either having some difficulties letting go of Halloween or really loves some Children of the Corn vibes lol
