The Whomp's Fortress Creature

The Whomp's Fortress Creature is an anomalous entity that supposedly manifests in Whomp's Fortress and rarely, also in Whomp's Fortress Interior. It is described as a being with no distinct form, instead being characterized by large corrupted objects. It usually only manifests when significant corruption is present in the copy, though this results in some theorists believing it is instead simply corruption and not an entity.

There are several main manifestations of the Whomp's Fortress Creature, usually coinciding with corruption. These usually appear as parts of the Whomp's Fortress Creature manifesting in the level. The full list of common manifestations include:


 * A large grey cloud appearing in the sky.
 * A large black cube appearing and covering the top half of the level.
 * A large pink cylinder appearing out of bounds.
 * A strange sound similar to roaring or laughing being heard in place of music.
 * Enemies disappearing, often the Whomps in the level.
 * Disabled collision of certain objects.

Discovery
A document recently surfaced from the 1995/07/29 Build of a playtester encountering the Whomp's Fortress Creature. It is unknown where it was originally discovered, though has been reported to be in the full Oman Archives. It appears to indicate the Whomp's Fortress Creature was a scrapped boss designed to punish cartridge tilting.

Document
Below is the document containing the first known encounter with the Whomp's Fortress Creature, referred to as "WFC". Images from the document have also been found, though images of the document itself have not surfaced. The document also appears to reference the Personalization A.I., but refers to it as "Project QARC". It is currently unknown what QARC stands for.

This appears to indicate the Whomp's Fortress Creature was initially created to punish cartridge tilting, though unintentionally induced a seizure, and was promptly scrapped. No other reports of the Whomp's Fortress Creature inducing a seizure have been documented.
