Vegan (creature)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Artist Trenton Doyle Hancock uses the word vegan to refer to fictional creatures responsible for the death of The Legend, the oldest of a plant-like species known as 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 doesn't eat meat; rather, such a person is a "vegan vessel", the victim of a vegan that has taken residence in his stomach.
Hancock's depictions of vegans are more than likely parodical, although in interviews with the artist, this is less than clear.
