Polpettone

Polpettone is a Horrorbrew OC created by JudiiDoodle. He was created on January 11th, 2024.
== Appearance ==
In stage 1, Polpettone resembles Somari the Adventurer, but with a dimmer color palette and red, pimple-like eyes as well as a lack of mouth. He has a symbol on his hat, being the icon of his people. He has larger overall buttons and a sharp white highlight on the tip of his shoes. 
In stages 2 and 3, he begins to melt down into his true appearance. Skin and cloth begin to melt together, and puddles of mass begin to form on the ground around his feet.
In stage 4, he is a lump of mass, held together by flesh, skin and fabric. It is covered in pieces of tissue, bone and flesh, as well as a runny blue substance.
== Biography ==
An unindentified man finds a Somari the Adventurer ROM file on the Internet Archive. The ROM had seemed off from the start, the title screen text was nearly entirely missing, aside from the letter M, and Somari seemed completely wrong. He had pinkish skin, seemed to have been bleeding from his mustache, and he had pimple-like red dots all around the area where his eyes would be. Thinking this was just some sort of neat ROM hack, he continued forward into Green Hill. Somari had retained his look from the title, along with larger buttons in place of Somari's smaller ones. This hack had made Somari considerably more controllable. Our protagonist appreciated this effort.
Moving on into act 2, Somari had seemed to begin... melting? The controls were more familiarly bad this time around, and noticeably slippery. The player had died once during the level, and Somari had seemed to begin melting even more, and he was even slower than he was before. Getting past that, however, the level was finished and he moved on to Act 3.
Act 3 was even stranger than the last. Somari's sprite had no longer resembled Somari at all, looking more like some colorful sludge, and the player had begun feeling light-headed. Somari was unbearably slow at this point, and jumping seemed like more of an after-thought than an action. Slowly, the man had felt his consciousness fading away as he continued playing, feeling the need to keep looking at Somari's strange sprite. eventually, he reached the boss. Doctor Robotnik fell down from the sky, unleashing the Egg Wrecker. Due to the extremely low jump Somari had at this point, he had run into the wrecking ball, killing Somari a second time. This time around, the man had collapsed in his chair. Neighbors had called the police hearing the commotion, and when authorities found him, he was pronounced dead.
No cause of death was ever discovered for the man. The only thing known was that he was found with Somari the Adventurer running in an emulator on his computer.
