Background

For a more in-depth explanation of its story, visit Scarecrow Searching for Wisdom on Lobotomy Corporation Wiki.

Scarecrow Searching for Wisdom appeared in the prequel game, Lobotomy Corporation, as a HE Abnormality, with a similar appearance. It is an enemy with the appearance of a scarecrow wearing a red shirt with white stripes and exposed torso, blue overalls with unattached belts, and a large orange bowtie with white spots. It also wears a large coil of rope as a hat, fully covering its head. Its body is composed of a long pole of bloodied straw, with several entrails spilling out. It has a metal rake for its left hand, and a hoe for its right hand.

Scarecrow Searching for Wisdom's stage is composed of a large wheatfield. The sun can be seen over the horizon in the background, creating an orange sky.
