Spoilers ahead
Spoiler note: thin, launch-window data — details are provisional.
The Carving Man is a spooky monster that the local youth of Septemburg call by that name. Rather than a standard arena boss, he stalks Mina through the harvest-themed region, introducing a survival-horror chase element that reviewers compared to Resident Evil’s Mr. X or Nemesis.
He’s confirmed as a major official illustrated character (he appears in the game’s press-kit key art), and he’s the signature threat of Septemburg, where paranoid farmers turn people into scarecrows and crops have merged with wildlife into aggressive monstrosities.
Detailed attack patterns and how the encounter resolves weren’t documented in accessible sources at launch, so treat any specifics as provisional pending post-launch coverage. See the Septemburg area page for the region around him.
