Mutant Effigy

This page is about the structures made by cannibals. For the various structures built by the player, see Effigy.
**Cannibal Effigies** are similar to the player-built effigies, and they are often built near the player or their base to scare them away or warn them. They can be found made in caves, villages, in hunting grounds, and at random places around the map. There are many different effigies that they can and will make, some for very specific reasons. Examples; the effigies that have a skinny pole with a woman's face strung to the top, are markers, with the face facing the place marked. They usually mark villages and sometimes caves, but sometimes the cannibals will build one nearby the players base, making the effigy face the base, Oddly, it seems that the cannibals will sacrifice one of their own, and place three of these effigies around the sacrificed cannibal, this can be seen all around the island, particularly on the northern half of the island. Another pattern is that cannibals will build a torso effigy with skulls stuffed inside, with one basic skull effigy on each side, these are built next to the players base. You cannot light effigies made by cannibals, but you can destroy them and gather their parts (cloth, skulls, sticks, and rocks) that are always dropped once destroyed.

## Overview

The cannibals also have different types of grotesque effigies, which can often be found along the shorelines and beaches but also in other locations all over the island. Cannibal effigies can be destroyed since v0.08D. There are at least seven different types of effigies, which can be unlocked in the "Effigies" Tab by losing sanity. The "Effigies" tab is a click button at the bottom of the first page of the "To Do" list marked effigies that takes you to the effigy pages.

## Fresh Human Effigies

These are possible effigies made out of humans and passengers. They will stay fresh as the first day through the whole player's game experience, not even attracting flies. Some passenger effigies will have equipment such as weapons, ie. Katana. This weapon can be found in the body of passenger with the canvas of his tattoo that was apparently flayed from his forearm.

* A nearly naked, dead, male passenger crucified on a stick structure, with his wrists slit open which is the likely cause of death. Perhaps, his death is related to cannibals finding and emulating a crucifix. Cloth and wristwatches can be found on him.
