A digital illustration of StrangerConnection's character The Multiavatar crawling and contorting its body at the wooden floor as it ominously approaches the viewer from the darkness. The Multiavatar is a long slim humanoid with pale rotting skin covered in black holes. It has long black curly hair, a rotting left eye with only its right intact that leaks a miscellaneous liquid, a toothy grin that's wider than its face and is full of both flat and sharp teeth, and its fingertips are of its skeleton. It wears a white shirt, black short, and black boots, all of which being tattered in some way.

A sketch in the bottom left corner shows the Multiavatar interacting with Emily, a mutant dog human who is barking furiously at the Multiavatar, meanwhile Multiavatar just laughs at her.
