Vegan (creature)

Artist Trenton Doyle Hancock uses the word vegan to refer to fictional creatures, sinister beings that have made it their personal mission to destroy all mounds, plant-human hybrids,[1] and are responsible for the death of The Legend, the oldest of the mounds. The concept of a vegan is based largely on the more common usage of the word (see Vegan). However, in Hancock's language, a vegan is not a person who abstains from meat; rather, such a person is a "vegan vessel", the victim of a vegan that has taken residence in his stomach.

In the saga of the absurd told through the art of Trenton Doyle Hancock, the battle is fought out between Mounds, giant creatures half plants and half animals and Vegans, who struggle to annihilate them, an allegory of the eternal conflict between good and evil.[2]
