Cylinder

The **Cylinder** was an entity in *Turtle Man and DaPhantom* created by The Devourer to spread havoc across The City of Nexus, but he accidentally installed a self destruct feature within it, leading to it's own demise.

## Appearance

The Cylinder was a humongous cylinder that was orchid in colour, but was constantly engulfed in an aura of swirling purple cosmic flames that make it near impossible for one to touch without suffering cosmic burns. All across it there was symbols that would alternate; the most common symbols seemed to include a sad face, a crack, a symbol of the Devourer himself and respective symbols for each of his Sentinels. Furthermore, on it’s back there was a device with a display screen, which is where the Devourer could code it to actively change it’s behaviour from.

## Background

A few years before the Devourer, Storm and Veiled first even arrived on Earth, the wretched Evil King was spreading chaos across the lands and in one of his many evil schemes, he created a giant Cube to spread his power which the Storm did actually see once on of his planet scouts. Many years later when the Devourer was roaming the lands looking for things to help him in his upcoming creation, he had stumbled across many broken pieces from the Cube left behind after all this time and decided to use them alongside other materials to make a giant Cylinder. This creation reminded Storm of the shape he saw rolling around on planet Earth a few years back and even told him about it, but the Devourer insisted that it was a completely original idea of his. He installed coding into the Cylinder to allow him to specify what it should do, coding it to specifically roll to the City of Nexus and target Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. if they are seen in the area. The Cylinder then started sliding slowly but surely and in a few hours, first reached Nexus where Victor first took note of it and the Devourer, even trying to throw a pie at him so as a result the Devourer also coded the Cylinder to attack Victor. However, the pie that Victor threw missed and hit a button on the Cylinder that the Devourer accidentally left on, which caused it to start counting down from 6 hours until something. With this countdown “EXP” was displayed on the Cylinder’s monitors which the Storm worried that it meant EXPlosion, but the Devourer assured him that it probably meant something else. When Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. returned from Yoshi Resort after Victor called them informing about a bomb, the timer had already hit 0 and the Cylinder seemingly just burst into confetti, but also a small grenade which created a colossal explosion which destroyed a lot of Nexus. The Devourer told Storm that they were both partially right, and they decided to flee back to the lair.

## Personality and Relationships

Since the Cylinder was inanimate just like it’s predecessor, it’s inability to speak or really communicate with it’s surroundings means it has no personality or friendships/relationships with anyone to speak of. It only knows to follow it’s master, the Devourer, and the orders he programmes into it’s system, but unlike the Cube it does know to target specific people that the Devourer has specified it to.

## Abilities

The Cylinder had some different abilities built into it, most of which were self-defensive to make it difficult for others to even come close. As previously mentioned, it’s aura of cosmic flames is extremely hot so anyone apart from those resistant to the cosmic flames (like the Devourer and his sentinels) could not really stay near it for that long. It was also capable of occasionally releasing a burst of cosmic fireballs and sparks from itself on unpredictable intervals, which were very dangerous towards anyone and could cause some serious damage to the environment around it. The Cylinder, unlike the Cube, runs on a bit of an AI that the Devourer would regularly code and change in order to make it follow new commands - for example, if he wanted it to target somebody new then he would have to code that into it’s wiring on the back. Somewhere on the Cylinder though, the Devourer left in a button that if hit, would cause it to start a 6 hour countdown until something happened. When the time was up the Cylinder simply exploded into confetti but also a small grenade which caused an enormous explosion - it seems that even the Devourer himself did not know that this was going to happen.
