Vita Carnis is an Analog Horror series created by Darian Quilloy on Youtube in 2022.
Plot
[edit]The series is set in an alternate earth where a species of creatures dubbed "Vita Carnis", Latin for Living Meat, emerge from the earth and rapidly spread across the planet. Humanity now has to adapt to survive against these new creatures from passive Trimmings to predatory Mimics. Between most of the videos, there are brief showings of a children's storybook. Telling the tale of a prince who crashed onto an island, went into a deep slumber, and was awakened by island inhabitants.[1] The creator, Darian Quilloy, stated that the visual style was heavily inspired by Trevor Henderson's artwork.[2]
Species
[edit]Crawl: The Crawl is a series of vein-like vines that spread across the ground, walls, and ceilings like moss. The rest of the organisms seem to emerge and be born from the Crawl. People have thought these creatures to be inedible, but over time people have found ways to make the organism edible. Trimming: Trimmings have an appearance similar to skinned raccoons. They look relatively dangerous but are actually completely harmless, screeching incredibly loudly at worst. Humans have even taken in trimmings as household pets. They seem to enjoy various activities like watching tv or listening to the radio, even if it's just static.
Meatsnake: Meatsnakes, As their name would suggest, have the appearance of a fleshy snake. Despite their frightening appearance, they are completely harmless. Feeding solely of corpses and dead matter.[3] These are the only members of the Vita Carnis species to be known to reproduce. Once they eat enough, another Meatsnake splits off from the previous Meatsnake, using a form of mitosis.[3] The average length of a Meatsnake is 5 meters, but there is a Meatsnake that has reached a length of 40 meters due to cult activities and war.[3][4]
Mimic: The Mimic has the appearance of the muscular system of a human with exaggerated features. These creatures' diet consists solely of human flesh.[5] There are multiple stages of a Mimics' life. The first stage of the mimics' life is when they are first born, they feast on small creatures and work their way up to larger and larger creatures. The middle stage of the mimics life fits the description stated above. In this stage, mimics now focus solely on humans and attack humans when they are the most vulnerable. The final stage of the mimics life has multiple options. The first option is that they have eaten enough humans to take on the appearance of a human while keeping some of their exaggerated features, allowing them to blend in with humanity and continue their hunt easily. The second option is that if they have a surplus of humans, they develop a darker shade of maroon flesh, a pale pink face, and grow multiple feet, becoming an elder mimic. The elder mimic is a more experienced and evolved mimic, making it one of the deadliest predators on the planet.[6][7][8]
Harvester: The Harvester is a large mass of flesh with tendrils lining the bottom, submerging itself into the ground.[9] This organism works like a biological beartrap, using its tendrils to paralyze its prey and use a separate tendril to drain the blood of the prey, drag it underground, and consume it.[10] Using military technology, these creatures have been proven to be able to be pacified. [7][11]
Host of Influence: The Host of Influence is a semi-humanoid creature, faceless and with tendrils in place of legs. The Host's main method of attack is dispersing orange spores that, if inhaled, mind control the prey to start walking to the host so they can eat them alive. Humans seem to have made these spores into a flavor enhancer.[12][7]
Monolith: Not much is known about the Monoliths, only that there are only 7 of them in the world that all stand in a ring on a fictional island in Northern Canada.[13] They stand at 120 meters in height with various tendrils rooting themselves in the ground and bear similarities to other members of the Vita Carnis species. They are passive creatures except for one time they released an EMP blast and started attacking a nearby car.[7]
Singularity: The Singularity is the only member of the Vita Carnis species that does not look like the other members, instead being a black ball, measuring 1 meter in diameter, with a red triangle in the middle. The Singularity is often seen floating in the air. There are an unknown number of Singularities in the world. There are multiple readings coming from the singularity like magnetic waves and energy signatures.[7][14] There seems to be a cult worshipping the singularities.[15][11]
