"DUO NEVER DIES."

-Duo's slogan

**Duo,** also called the **Duo Cryptid,** is the main antagonist of the novel DUO and a secondary antagonist of Project C.M.S. It is a somewhat psychopathic and homicidal mascot that was genetically engineered by Farooq Tech as a experiment, but it escaped. The creature is responsible for at least six deaths, usually in gruesome ways.

## Appearances

### Appears in

DUO, Project C.M.S, The Duo Files (indirectly)

## Appearance

### Regular Form

Duo appears as a green cartoon owl who looks similar to the owl from the app it was based on. It has large, round eyes and a yellow beak and talons, along with lime highlights.

### Corrupted Form

In its corrupted form, Duo is all black with red, grey, or white eyes. Its highlights are now gray, as well as its beak and chest. Different art portrays Duo differently, for example the cover of the book has his eye scarred and blinded, yet we don't see this in the book.

## Personality

Duo is a classic example of a serial-killing mascot with no remorse. It appears not to have much of a personality, except for it liking killing and the song, 'Me Gustas Tú'. It also likes the darkness, a trait exhibited with other characters like Project E and Gentleman Duo.

## History

### DUO

Duo first appeared in the book of the same name as the main antagonist. Throughout the book, we get introduced to how Duo was created in a lab for Farooq Tech, engineered by Doctor Mohammed Omer Farooq. Duo went rouge, decaptiating Doctor Omer and killing various other guards, but was trapped in a IPad.

Sometime later, the creature then escaped from the IPad and tried to kill a student, who was the only known survivor of Duo. He then broke into Joey Sheffield's house in Florida and strangled him to death before escaping.

After killing another student by multiating and decapitating him, as well as writing Copa De Sopa on his back, the thing traveled to Central Middle School. Luring a student named Ascher in a dark storage room within the basement, he killed him using a cleaver. Traveling to another house, he killed a six-year old student by chopping him up with a cleaver, before killing the mother and spelling their remains out to say, Copa De Sopa.

A few months later, when Detective Steven Larson traveled to a abandoned building, Duo stalked him along the way by hanging bodies from trees. When the detective traveled to a abandoned hospital he went to as a kid, Duo attacked him, and Larson fled. He was then cornered in a room after Super Duo attacked Duo, but Larson managed to such the thing up into an IPad, trapping it for good.

### Project C.M.S.

Duo appears in Project C.M.S in the fourth and fifth teaser images as a apparition with glowing white eyes in its corrupted form. It appears in the fourth teaser, EVACUATE, looking at the viewer from the right side, and the final teaser, hanging from the ceiling to the right. We know this is Duo because of the wing hanging down.

It's speculated that Duo was involved in the killings that took place there, and assisted Project E with its work.

### The Duo Files

Duo will appear in The Duo Files as the main antagonist.
