Wagyu

Official Character Description
"A normal object from High Society. While he means well, Wagyu’s attitude often reflects his posh lifestyle. He tends to be selfish, careless, and entitled... and wonders why nobody likes him." Source

General Information
Wagyu is the thirteenth main character featured in Objectified in the episode "For Doom", which released September 23rd in 2022. Wagyu first appears approaching in the background of a scene where Sunny, Water Wiggler, and Milkbone are discussing how poorly their last venture went together, all looking beaten up. Sunny apologizes since the expedition was their idea, and is forgiven by Water Wiggler when Wagyu interjects to insult everyone's intelligence. In response, the group tricks Wagyu into keeping watch outside of their camp and keep him locked out of the building when he is approached by an assimilated object, despite his pleas. The parasite changes its mind about attacking him as it draws closer, leaving him sliding to the floor in confusion and exhaustion while assessing the situation. Wagyu is then seen in some other abandoned building having a pity party when he's approached by Palmtree, who asks if he's okay. In the next episode featuring Wagyu, it's revealed that he is infected with parasites and spreads them to his survival partner through contact. Confusedly, he runs away in panic as Palmtree is assimilated after patting Wagyu on the head. As he's running, he experiences a pain in his left eye and reopens it to reveal that it has dulled in color. In a monologue, Wagyu reveals that he was part of a wealthy family and lived in a mansion in High Society before riots occurred during the outbreak that resulted in the mansion being burned down, Wagyu implied to be the only survivor. The riots in question seem to be acknowledged in the news report in episode 4, where it's stated that they're occurring in High Society specifically.

Additional Info

 * Wagyu is a unique main character who means well but is presented as antagonistic due to him being an extreme threat to other survivors.
 * Wagyu is implied to have been respawned an insane amount of times in the promo art for "Carrier", which might imply that this is how he was infected in the first place after Gum reveals that respawn terminals have been printing parasites.
 * Other promo art featuring Wagyu contains strange unsettling imagery, such as Wagyu standing with a blindfold on holding a glass of wine with a sacrificial dagger over his head. This imagery is also included in his merchandise where he is wearing the blindfold with the knife in his head as he vomits blood, making his sticker in the Simple Set stand out like a sore thumb.
