Garferman

Where it all started
== Origins ==
The Garferman had its origins back in 2019 when the MegaMeme Pack was in its very early stages of development. As a joke, per the big funny and the internet lore with portraying Garfield in a horrifying way, Mike Kachowski textured the enderman to look like Garf. Meme Lord got to calling it the 'Garferman' and made sounds for it, using the infamous 'wiseguy' voiceforge voice for it's sounds. It would use various quotes from the Garfielf video as well as threats and a doomsday message about Figure 14.19.
The Garfermen would grow to be somewhat of the icon for the MegaMeme Pack, as it was one of the earliest textured mobs (the oldest texture mob in the pack was the Shrast), but while the Shrast expanded into the Shrether, the Garferman expanded into The Garf Dimension, something that ended up being a staple in both Meme Council Lore and, of course, the Garf Lore.
Meme Lord would make a slightly more realistic version of the Garferman in SPOAR, and would also draw a sprite of one as a secret boss that would've been fought in the SCP Hallway in the Abington RPG, if the game were ever finished.
== Garf Lore History ==
Garfermen were the very first garf-type beings to form in the Garf Dimension, and the only 'original' beings of the dimension, before Figure 14.19 and Garfield began twisting Garfield into ruined, terrible and very powerful machinations of war. The Garfermen were primarily neutral, and possessed some level of intelligence, but preferred to remain isolated, and no Garferman had ever been known to make tools or build structures of their own. Garfermen were of particular interest to Figure 14.19, as they were the only Garf entities that could teleport, and in some rare cases, they could even teleport out of the Garf dimension. It was here when Figure 14.19 used the Garfermen to begin infecting the Shrether, without his direct involvement. These contaminations are known as "Garfed Forests", and have a high amount of Garfermen roaming them.
Garfermen are incredibly dangerous if provoked, and are enraged by eye contact. They are also seemingly immune to fast-moving projectiles, forcing their adversaries to fight them hand-to-hand, giving the Garfermen a major advantage, as their 7-foot-long arms and claws are incredibly efficient at quickly disemboweling or tossing enemies. Garfermen also have grossly enlarged jaws that can open to reveal a maw that can fit an entire human head, which the Garfermen occasionally use to quickly decapitate enemies. The Garfermen are also quite physically resilient, as they are born and raised in the extremely devoid and harsh environments of the Garf Dimension and can effortlessly withstand interdimensional travel. Garfermen are possibly immortal, as their cells constantly replace themselves at all times, sometimes falling off their bodies in large chunks and burning away, causing a purple glow. It is theorized this is due to their unnaturally unstable compositions, which may be how they are immune to projectiles and allow them to so easily teleport. Garfermen's only known common "prey" are Garfermite, parasitic, interdimensional beings that have a rare chance of coming into being after a Garferman teleportation. Garfermen will kill the Garfermite on sight, it is unknown why.
Despite the Garfermen being so incredibly strong, resilient, and possessing the abilities that they have, Figure 14.19 and Garfield resent them. 1992 particularly has quite a lot of interest in the Garfermen, as he himself does not understand why the Garf's cannot create their own life from scratch, and questions the origins of the Garfermen. The Garfs are not capable of controlling the Garfermen at large, or weaponizing them beyond what they can learn from them. Thus, Garfermen are often left alone by all parties involved, left to roam their homeland and wherever they may find themselves after a trans-dimensional warp.
Garfermen are a bad omen across different dimensions, as spotting one typically means the Garf Dimension's campaign has spread far enough that the dimensional infection has at least reached near your own home dimension, and soon the legions of Garfield, or Figure 14.19 himself, would arrive to finish the job. Garfermen were, at a time, treated as scouts, as their arrival would quickly alert Figure 14.19 to that dimension and he could seek it out himself to finish it. Garfermen were incapable of being ordered, but they were still 'deployed' in a sense by Figure 14.19 starting mass openings in dimensions he sought to destroyed. The inhabitants would not know better and attack the monsters on sight, or make eye contact, and the hordes of Garfermen would be enraged and more often than not, the battle would not cease until either one of the sides were wiped out. Over time, people learned the 'secret' with Garfermen and would avoid looking at them or bothering them, and thus the Garfermen would no longer have use for Figure 14.19.
It was a Garferman's arrival in [REDACTED] that alerted WeBWorK to the existence of an extra-dimensional threat, thus starting its lockdown of AHHS and infection of its inhabitants. Thankfully, Chase Floyd, with the help of others, defeated WeBWorK and killed the Garferman in the SCP Hallway. WeBWorK was not so easily gotten rid of however, and Dr. Strebwork was ordered to retreat in order to start a second phase of WeBWorK's plan to protect [REDACTED] from Garfield.
