## Basic Info

The Bogs are a mysterious non-bunker entity said to be the physical manifestation of Greed and Envy. They manifest themselves with the appearance of two floating human faces surrounded by shadows.

Way before the Event, The Bogs got sealed in a underground location called the Antechamber, a pocket dimension that is rumored to be acessible via the Bog tunnels. Their main goal seems to break free from their prison and slave humanity so they can feed from their avaraice forever.

The names of the 2 Bogs have been confirmed by randomaspland to be Ig and Grich (As a reference to Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff, the people whom the appearance of the Bogs are based on).

While their physical whereabouts are unknown, they have appeared in the dreams of the Bunker inhabitants. Every time they appear at the dream of someone, all colors disappear.

## Relationships

Due to being trapped in the antechamber, the power that the Bogs can exert into our world is limited. For that reason the entity uses the Boggist Cult to achieve their goal. The Cultists are extremely loyal to the Bogs, worshiping them as the gods who will free humanity. The Boggist doctrine include every act that propagates greed and envy, so the Bogs can feed on them and build strenght to destroy the walls that trap them in th Antechamber.

The Bogs comunicates with their follower through Dylan, The Bog Priest. While other Boggists simply hear random whispers in their minds (some even being driven crazy by those), the Bog Priest can fully communicates with them, and use this ability to learn about the Boggist doctrine and then repass the message to his disciples.

In their qurst to achieve liberty, the Bogs have found a big obstacle in the form of The Computer. With his primary guidiline being ensuring humanity survivalship at all cost, the Computer has taken all actions possible to stop the Bogs from fully manifestating, such as phoribitting barter, strongely regulating the Bunker economy and violentely supressing the Boggist Cults. In response to this, the Bogs keep incentivating their followers to dethrone the machine and creating a system of free-trade across the Bunker.

The Bogs also hold deep hate against a entity known as Sminem or The Great Vehicle. The Vehicle is believe by his followers to be the god of charity and good luck, the opposite of everything the Manifestation of Greed represent. It is also speclated that the Vehicle was the one that trapped the Bogs in the antechamber.

## Other canons

### The Death of the Computer

Without the Computer to stop them, The Bogs seem to heing getting stronger. There is a post for the Bogs with cryptid text behind their image, however it hasn't been translated yet.

### The Luxury Canon

With the Boggists taking control of the Bunker and creating a market bades society, the Bogs are stronger than ever. Their influence over our reality have increased to the point taht they now can enter the mind of non-boggists and transform them into servants in the for of Tallies and Charmed. The Antechamber walls are near to be broken.

### The Deep Dark Canon

The Bogs have an increased influence and are seen in the Great Game quadrants in the Deep Dark Compass. We can also see that they have sent the Boggist Priest into our world again and are telling him where to go however the Bog Priest doesn't know where this is.

### Coalition Vision

After the Coalition took over, the Boggist Cult was destroyed and their prophet, Bog Priest, was killed. with that, The Bogs have shifted their attention to the Purple Eyes, a esoteric division of The Coalition that follows the Boggist doctrine. The Bogs are slowly being feed from the all of the power hunger and selfishness that is perpetuated in the Coalition strict hierarchical system.

### The War to Take the Surface

During the first WTTTS, the Bogs don't actually have their own quadrant however they are referenced as appearing more in the dreams of the Remainders and are seen behind the Guy in a Hot Air Balloon.

## Trivia

* Their quadrant in the 6x6 contains text in wing-dings, which reads "WE MUST UNCOVER THEM FROM THE GREAT ANTECHAMBER DEEP WITHIN THE OLD TUNNELS" when translated.
* Their quadrant in the 9x9 contains "The physical manifestation of our greed, they keep screaming in our minds make it stop, the five seals have been broken, the Great King of the Abyss had obtained his Great Crown of Lies and is finally able to claw their way back into the world of man, yet their forms can be manipulated by the Shifter to sow chaos in the minds of those where chaos is needed. The Surface calls and screams and the Fog is rolling in.
