Carrots Make Florans Uncomfortable

    Due to ninja carrots' ability to automatically regenerate wounds, one would not be able to display a scar, meaning the flesh (carrot?) wound you see on the samurai's face confirms he is an actual, THE ACTUAL, last and only Samurai Carrot.

    Tier 5 floran armor is called Cannibal armor, too (Cannibal's Mask, Cannibal's Pants, Cannibal's Chestguard).

    I play Floran regularly, they're my favorite race because of how deceptive they are. They look so nice and peaceful, so you get close to say hi and they stab you in the guts, take your stuff, and quite possibly eat you. And if you play Floran and hit up a Floran village, one of the guards' lines as you pass by is something along the lines of "Trouble-making sssprouts are tasssty..."

    Scars can be faked, particularly from a distance. For all we know, that could be black marker. Getting close enough to determine the truth would invariably get you gutted, decapitated, and your body hid in a ditch or fed to the kappa while the ninja-carrot adopts you as his next disguise.

    Ah, but that's no far-off in the distance image, that's close enough to see the actual indentation of the wound, confirming its authenticity and the authenticity of Samurai Carrot.

    Really good marker-work! You didn't think a ninja-carrot would half-ass a disguise, would you?

    Look, I'm not trying to be a jerk here, I'm just... just trying to save your life and others. If you approach that 'Samurai' carrot expecting honorable behavior, he's going to flip out and kill you and hide your body where only the Tengu will find it. Samurai Carrots do not exist - it's merely Ninja Carrot propaganda to improve the verisimilitude of the disguise.

    Speaking of which, you're awfully adamant that it is a genuine last Samurai Carrot. PERHAPS YOU ARE PART OF THE NINJA CARROT PROPAGANDA MACHINE! HE'S TRYING TO GET OUR GUARD DOWN HE'S *bzzt*

    I think a ninja carrot would prefer not to be seen at all, instead of going to the elaborate steps of making a disguise that mimics the real thing.

    The fact that someone got close enough to even ask him if they could take that picture without getting dishonorably chopped to bits is another example proving that he's real.

    Maybe YOU'RE working for the ninjas to try and keep people from feeling hope, hope that there's an honest to goodness real Samurai Carrot out there, hunting down the ninja carrots that wronged his family.

    The only thing I know is that mushrooms make good samurai, and carrots are always evil ninjas.

    And if that's not enough proof, some Floran bandits came across my Floran girl and screamed "Sssssupper isss here!" or something like that.

    Floran guards will threaten to eat a player Floran, although they seem apprehensive about it.

    Maybe because it's orange, kinda like fire, and Florans are afraid of fire, dunno :D

    It's because carrots don't come out once they are in.

    A particularly stifling weapon indeed.

    This really feels like something that would be posted on reddit with a pic with the actual dialog.

    This seems like it could be true but there is a small amount of evidence that suggests otherwise. the Floran starting quest says "Tired of Floran savagery, you have taken to the stars to pursue a more honourable hunt." Though it's not much, this suggests that the players Floran character has tossed away the practice of cannibalism.

    More confused. The sentence could be interpreted as the player eating the guard, due to pronoun confusion.

    "Floran will stay out of trouble, or Floran will eat... Floran? Floran is confused..."

    Also- "Weakling troublemaker Floransss are tasty."

    This confuses me a bit, because I remember talking to a Floran once who said.

    "Floran hear monssster eat plant. Floran go and hunt it!", which seems to imply that they see the lives of vegetation as being of similar value to their own.

    And yet at the same time I am aware that if you examine some plants, Florans will proclaim them delicious. So I think Floran History has some contradictions that need to be worked out.
