⛧ ִ་ ִֶ The Lamb ̊୨୧+🐑

In here, the lamb is a loving, caring, kind person. even though he has a bad side, which causes some to fear him, though those who fear him are mostly the ones who weren't in the cult.

Because the faith of the followers must be managed carefully, it is necessary to meet their needs. This can include making sure they are well-fed, are given the proper healthcare when they get sick, given blessings to make them happier, or by giving sermons and performing certain rituals that can improve happiness and other needs. The Lamb can also provide better living conditions by building and upgrading sleeping bags and outhouses. More malevolent acts the Lamb can perform include simply denying the needs of the followers, sacrificing a follower during a ritual, putting an innocent follower in prison (though this act is much more justified in the case of a dissenter), sending others on missions where their chance of survival is dangerously low, forcing someone to eat a bowl of excrement, other cultists, or even straight-up poison that has a high chance of killing them, screeching at them with a scary face to force them to work harder, force them to fight to the death, or even murder them on the spot (if other followers are awake to see that is).

If the player chooses, the Lamb can also do side quests for followers, which may include gathering specific resources, rescuing a loved one during a crusade, requesting a specific meal (which for some reason includes a Bowl of Poop), or even asking the lamb to marry them. Successfully performing these side quests will greatly increase a follower's loyalty, but denying the quest altogether will diminish faith. However followers may make more malevolent requests such as asking the lamb to prank, imprison, or even kill other cultists.

Some of the Lamb's personality traits can be inferred through their body language in certain interactions, though this is up to interpretation. One example is that when the lamb is angry: their eyes will turn red and they will suddenly grow fangs and start loudly wailing. This happens when intimidating a follower, fighting the final boss, or simply being a sore loser over a game of Knucklebones. During a game of Knucklebones, the Lamb will also pout and roll their eyes when one of their dice is eliminated.

The Lamb also has a few occasions where they can be seen crying. These instances include the moment before their execution at the start of the game, when they try and fail to save Ratau from the Fox if the player agrees to sacrifice the former to the latter, and when they are deciding whether or not to surrender the red crown to The One Who Waits, knowing that accepting means that they will die.

The Lamb is also capable of being loving towards their followers. The Lamb can show affection to followers by blessing them, inspiring them, petting them (If they're dogs), giving them gifts or money, or even marrying them and giving them kisses. The Lamb can even feed them meals that, although they typically require more resources, are higher quality and tastier than the simpler ones or even throw massive feasts for them. They can build decorations for the followers to admire, as well as high-end houses for them to sleep in. They can also build healing bays where they can nurse their ill followers back to health using Camellia flowers.

There's also a subtle indicator that they dislike when one of their followers pass away. The Lamb usually has a smile on their face and seems happy to be running the cult. However, they frown whenever they are carrying the corpse of a follower. This could be interpreted as a sad frown, or simply a frown of exertion from carrying the heavy body of a follower, as the Lamb is forced to walk slowly and is unable to run or roll when doing so.

The Lamb is a short anthroprimorphic lamb with white wool, dark grey face, limbs, and ears, and tiny red horns. Their large black eyes feature horizontal pupils. On top of their head is the Red Crown, an object of great power that is black in color with two pointed prongs and a crimson eye in the center. Around the lamb's neck is a black collar with a golden bell dangling from it, and they wear a red cape known as their "fleece".
