Corcunda

A mantaur split vertically down the middle, left standing on one right leg with a right arm and a second right arm above it, and sealed into a shiny black vinyl bodysuit with a zipper at the mouth to keep his insides in place. Chiyome says halfsies rarely last long and that this one used to be a dancer. The System names him as Dong Quixote's best friend, nicknamed Corky; his missing half is nicknamed Porky, and rejoining them requires a fleshmancer. He waves at Carl's group from garage number three as the door comes down, with Free Bird playing behind him.

Book 8 appearances

• Chapter 13 — Watches Carl's group from the shadows of garage number three and waves before the door closes; the System then names him as Dong Quixote's missing friend and makes reuniting them a quest.
• Chapter 19 — Corcunda rides curled up in the back seat of the Lady Dominators' GTO with an Unconscious notification over his head, put to sleep by a spell.
• Chapter 20 — Pontiff, who used to work with him, asks why Corcunda is asleep when he is that strong; the two womantaurs say nothing for a long moment before answering with a question of their own.
• Chapter 22 — Bucket Boy shouts to Dong that he saw Corcunda during the heat, the one thing Donut had just remembered they should have told him not to say.
• Chapter 23 — Bucket Boy places him as Corky, drugged and on the fifth-place team in the garage two doors over, which sends Dong straight at their door.
• Chapter 24 — The AI's quest text lays out the split: two halves with identical memories up to the moment of the spell, diverging since, one of whom will die on the tenth floor unless a fleshmancer recombines them.
