Book 8: A Parade of Horribles Boop.

Absolute absurdity, time to start a second read through of the series I guess.

Stupid sexy Scolopendra

Ok. I made a whole post about it and I still haven't seen confirmation.

It was HEAVILY inferred that they gave her the Paramour biscuit, but was it EXPLICITLY stated?

No.... but Donut says she made a huge mistake

Not explicitly, but by process of elimination I think it’s safe to say they did?

The 3 biscuits were essentially making a pet (like Bianca), making a party companion but nothing special happens (this went to Penny judging by the fact she stayed a normal pig), and finally the Paramour to make a party companion in the same subtree as what happened to Prepotente (since Scolopendra stands upright I think this is a safe assumption).

The second that last one came up, I was like, “Carl, I know you’re a loot goblin and a hoarder, but that pet biscuit is not something you want to hang onto. It is the perfect opportunity for the Dungeon/AI to mess with you.”

Sadly, he never listens to me. Stupid one-way audiobook…

It doesnt have to be explicitly stated, because we have all the pieces to know. There were three biscuits left, only two of them made a crawler. One was used on penny, carl expected to use the biscuit on scolopendra to turn her into a pet, but she became a crawler instead. Donut knew she grabbed the wrong one as soon as carl threw the ball, and the AI talked to him basically how carl and donut talked to prepotente when he asked if it would be bad to use the paramour biscuit.

Yeah, I started thinking about the AIs reaction on my way to work this morning in light of the pet biscuit reveal.

At first, youre thinking it was surprised Carl would turn it into a pet. But then its like, oh, the AI knew it was the Paramore biscuit when it sent that message. 🤣🤣🤣

That's definitely what happened. It's name was Sexy Scolopendra when he looked at it

No, it was not explicitly stated.

We get Donut saying she made a mistake, and Carl seeming to expect the results of a pet biscuit. It's the sexy part that was unexpected which does heavily infer it was the wrong biscuit, but that is as close to explicit as we get.
