The Car

The Car (also the ex-main antagonist) was introduced in Headspace #5 and appeared in every Headspace after that.  It was revealed that the reason Rick and Carl were trying to capture Damien, Norman and C in the Ban was to protect all of them from the Car, though Carl created the cars.  The car had powers, such as:  Driving underwater, teleporting, and flying.  It seemed to have one weakness:  Nyquil being inserted into the engine.  The car had so far gotten Cas, and had almost gotten Rick.   The car also liked apples.  It is estimated that there were between 20-30 known cars after the Great Car Massacre of 2012.  The cars did not like bright lights.  It could drive in the daylight, but couldn't look at lamps, or other headlights.  Shifters can identify the car by a low rumbling sound in the distance, a crawling sound, or if the wind begins to howl lowly out of nowhere.  If an individual is trapped inside the Car for 3+ weeks, they will lose their memory, and become a car.

The first victim of the Car was Cory in Headspace 3.0, creating "Weird Cory" after Cory escaped.  Weird Cory was knocked out by Dave and Dashie and then having been temporarily transported into Headspace 3.1, automatically dragging Cory's boyfriend, Damien, and all of his social connections with him, making the switch from Headspace 3.0 to Headspace 3.1.  This was fixed when Sam Davis killed the main car, and brought Damien, C, Cory, and Weird Cory back to headspace 3.0, before putting Dave and Dashie back where they belonged.

The Car was ended by Sam Davis when after tried to kill "Weird Cory", but he escaped.  Sam Davis apologized when he discovered that Weird Cory was a victim of the car, and was a real, genuine person.

The Car relied solely on movement and vibration, though it often went for the nearest vibrations, if it acknowledged that a person it disliked was nearby, it would go for them instead, no matter the distance. Cars used to be able to walk free, possessing whatever human or object they felt the need to, before Carl banished them all into one car.  However, there would always be a telltale sign that they were actually a car.

## The Creation

Carl was driving around in The Ban alone, when he crashed into a car.  He thought it was funny, so he crashed into all of the cars in the dealership (All the same make, build, and color.)

## Attack Identification

It can be hard to identify whether you have been attacked, and if you've escaped.  Victims claim it's like "being drugged" as they recall escaping.  It's a very faint memory of getting dragged out of the engine, or spit out.  Victims often need 1-2 weeks to recover afterwards.

Often, the car will create a new vision for you.  Victims are often dismembered in the hood but they see beaches, apartments, or forests.  The way you can tell if you have not escaped is if there are humans in your vision.  Check to see if they have a rumbling sound coming from their throat.  Often, these "humans" are actually cars in disguise.

Indicators of cars in disguise as humans:

* Rumbling sounds coming from the throat

* Low humming noise coming from their stomach (the engine)

* If their breath smells like any "car related scent" (ex:  motor oil, exhaust, rubber)

* Odd proportions (ex:  longer arms than normal, bigger nose, otherworldly proportions, such as 5 foot long arms)

* If you are expecting that you may be inside the car, everything should be taken into accountability.  While you think you are inside, if anybody is acting off, do NOT trust them.  However, if they are randomly acting weird and you HAVE NOT had a run in with the car, they are not secretly a car.

## Zuknos (before death)

Zuknos is the god of all cars.  He is a roach with the soul of a man.  When Carl ran Jeremiah over, he had a roach on him.  Jeremiah died, and entered the roaches body.  Zuknos has a husband, the Fish.  All of the cars nest inside him, and only come out when he says so.  They can no longer turn into other objects or humans under Carl's Car Law.  The other cars follow everything Zuknos says, whether it is acceptable or not.  Often, when an individual is inside the engine and sees humans, the rumbling sounds is an indicator that the human is actually a car in disguise.
