>>102778143I'm pretty sure the route they tookwith Golb was he was true death / destruction, in the form of returning to the univese and destruction of the organisation that makes a creature, as in chaos. like the garbage compactor at the very end of the universe which is why the lich worshiped him, as he was the very meaning of destruction of all.
This would explain why he didn't really actively attack too much when he was summoned. he didn't give a shit or was actively antagonistic, but just fucked around a little bit. he only truely started paying attention when the song started and he started panicking and screaming at them, before that he was just sitting around, which also explains why he ate people that went near his mouth, because as seen when finn dodged death in
>>102778143 it's likely his job, almost a natural reflex even. it's his point in the universe. but the problem with this theory is it doesn't explain the corpse monster beyond him fucking around, or maybe a tool for removing large amounts of the time-to-be-destroyed people that enter his realm naturally.
>>102778223he represents destruction of all matter in my opinion. not actually death but a greater death of everything eventually maybe.
