Lord Mc Diggles

## Description

Lord Mc Diggle is a tall, bright-white mass of various scrap, souvenirs and junk coated in semi-fluidous, paintlike material, resembling a horned, golden-eyed cat wearing a top hat. He acts as the replacement and retexture of *Pillar Joe* and all of the *Pillar Joe Related Enemies* from the base *Pizza Tower* game.

Lord Mc Diggle's internal anatomy is composed of various clusters of junk and memorabilia owned by the statue's original nameless creator, submerged in variously colored coats of oil, acrylic & vinyl paint as the statue was to be a "crowning project" that grew alongside the sculptor, and acted as a reflection of their entire life up to that point.

The original creator of the statue remains unnamed, though due to seeing themselves as "unrecognized in their time" they'd buried themselves inside the last layer of white paint on the statue, to very literally cement themselves as the final ornament in a fit of desperation and ego.

The statue was later found by at a sale, and brought over as an impulse purchase for 's taste in weird, big, cool and *"definitely haunted, without question"* decor. Seemingly to the enthusiasm of the statue, as they'd happened to prefer the role as a semi sentient, semi-human potted plant living in the supernatural tower.

Despite the statue's constant pacing and monitoring of the tower, the creatures living there are seemingly aware of its sentience and just rolled with it, though it is assumed that that is only because the creatures got tired of putting it back every time it moved.

## Behavior

In-game, they act no different than from the original *Pillar Joe.* Being placed at various locations around each custom level, and requiring a Mach 2 collision or a set amount of collected *toppins* in order to pass them.

## Trivia

- The Mini Diggles are meant to be smaller attempts at recreating the original statue, being formed in small picture frames and boxes, and filled with leftover trash.

- The first edit ever made on the this wiki page was "DIcks"

- An idea was pitched to add *Gold Stars* to the scoring system of the mod, where gaining a certain score after completing a level during *Pizza Time* would award the player with a gold star next to their rank, allowing for potentially endless score possibility, from S+ to S++ and so on. In-universe, these stars would exist as a means for Lord Mc Diggle to monitor skilled players from anywhere, due to using said gold stars as eyes.

- Lord Mc Diggle's design initially started from a taller, horned, top-hat-toting version of co-developer *Mc Diggles* design, though it switched base concepts throughout development and began to take inspiration from *abstract art garbage sculptures,* and the inspiration and fittingly vague symbolism behind covering those statues in white paint; all of which eventually played part in Lord Mc Diggle's backstory as an animated statue.

- It is left unclear as to how the original sculptor managed to fit a top hat and stars onto the head of the statue after burying themselves.

- It is unclear as to whether or not the original sculptor is possessing the statue, or if their willpower caused it to develop a separate consciousness.

- Co-developer *Mc Diggles* remarked that the reason why they chose such an angsty backstory for their character was that "they thought it was interesting, even if they weren't sure if everyone else was doing the same thing"

* Also the fact that it had little to no impact on the actual gameplay was kind of funny.

- Lord Mc Diggle's internal anatomy when cut open was regarded as "looking like a jawbreaker with garbage in it"

- The face inside of the hollowed head of the statue only appeared after living in the tower for some time.

- Lord Mc Diggle's body being made of *Fordite* (Motor Agate, or Layered Paint Stone) is a possible reference to their appearance heavily resembling the *Kit* skin from *Fortnite Battle Royale(2017)*
