The Watcher, also known as Observer, is a mysterious figure related to the Purgatory. Its first appearance was on November 4, 2023 in a cutscene once the members were sent into the Purgatory. They had been mentioned before the event by Dark Cucurucho, with them mentioning that The Watcher sought chaos.
Even though it is unclear on what it is, they seem to be observing the residents.
The Watcher's physical appearance is of a black skin with a larger torso and waist. In the center of it's head, they seem to have a large glowing eye that can change its size and a dark pupil that seems to be able to reflect light that hits it.
History[]
The First Appearance - November 4th[]
The first appearance of The Watcher occurred when the members of Quesadilla Island departed from it by train, being transported to Purgatory. The screen then transitions to a loading screen, and subsequently, a mysterious figure is depicted walking into a room filled with computers and screens. The figure pours a cup of coffee and activates one of the computers. The screen displays the Federation logo and the status of each egg, indicating their breathing. Interestingly, the lifeless eggs are depicted without any signs of life. Their breathing starts to deteriorate, becoming labored, with a "Warning" status. The screen then shifts to an analysis of six Islanders: ElQuackity, Cellbit, Jaiden, Maximus, Etoiles, and Slimecicle, showcasing their offspring and detailing how they arrived on the island.
They then appear to ElQuackity when he was alone, being the first to arrive on the island. The Watcher says that it's been a long time since he ever saw him, and they thought ElQuackity forgot about them. The Watcher says that ElQuackity will be a good agent to stir up some drama, spark some clashes, and crush every idea of good they may have left. Later on, The Watcher introduces themselves to the residents and explains the rules of the island. They mention that this place was formerly known as "Egg Island," but they took the liberty of changing the location to turn it into their "Purgatory."
The Canvas - November 17th[]
When Cucurucho meets Luffy, who got back in the Quesadilla Island in the place of the worker, they say, “What? Why? Curious, what are you?” Luffy then gives Cucurucho a map. Luffy gives them pictures of the assembly from Purgatory. “What’s the reason? What are you? What are you doing? Now.” Luffy then gives Cucurucho a canvas with The Watcher on it. Luffy is lassoed and Cucurucho laughs. Cucurucho then says that, “The Federation needs to take back complete control of Egg Island. Anything else is unacceptable. We are the order.”
Meeting the Islanders - November 18th[]
The Watcher made their first appearance outside of a screen for the Bolas and SoulFire teams. After orchestrating Phil to spin the roulette, The Watcher appears, noticeably larger than everyone else in the room. They gaze at the players, and ElQuackity is behind them. The Watcher expresses gratitude for ElQuackity's assistance, mentioning that they didn't expect to have so much fun. They ask ElQuackity if he wants to leave, stating that his place is much better by their side. This would be the only time he would have this opportunity, and ElQuackity agrees to the offer.

Message to the Residents
And so, the blind rats scamper into the open jaws of the cat. Welcome, sinners, murderers, vermin. You know, this used to be a cute little place. I believe they called it “Egg Island”? I’m sure you all would have loved to be here. They were so kind to send you this way. Unfortunately, I despise each and every single one of you with every atom in my being. People like you do not deserve a pleasant little break from the stresses of your previous island life. So, I’ve taken the liberty of changing this place. Welcome to your purgatory. The rules are simple to follow. You will be divided into three teams. Every day, you will compete to determine who will get the big prize. Whatever team has the most wins throughout the following weeks is the ultimate winner. The daily winning team is decided by the following: Activity. The amount of time your team has spent on the island. Global tasks. You will find these in the spawn area. I’m sure you’re smart enough to find the right place. Lives. The least amount of deaths per day. The bar to impress me isn’t high. Events. You’ll see this on its relevant day. Now, that’s the boring stuff out of the way. I’m sure you’re already hungering and dehydrating as you’ve been listening to me. Good. Whatever makes it harder for you to live. Oh, and every hour, a fun surprise will happen! In the form of a devastating disaster that will make your days worse than they already are. Wonderful, isn’t it? Oh, but I already hear you all crying: “What if we don’t want to compete? We can work together to defeat you!” Naive and innocent you all are. One team is cursed. If the cursed team loses, say goodbye to all your lives and eggs. What team is that? Can you figure that out? No. So make sure you do your best to win. But if any of the other teams win… They can pick some of the eggs to come back with you. Aren’t I nice? I really shouldn’t be. Everything that you will be doing from this point on is for the safety of the eggs. Disregard your friendships. There is no room for sympathy in this land. And before I leave you all to rip each other apart, the first important event will be on the 6th. Have a good time rotting beneath the earth.
Announcement of the Egg-War Event
Hello, sinners. I’ve been watching you, and in only two days, you have managed to throw your morals out the window. All of you are hypocrites and evil, even if you don’t want to admit it. Blue team and red team, congratulations on your success. You have killed and betrayed your very friends to obtain what you want. Good. You are all sinners. I love it. But I want you all to be miserable for a little longer, so, let’s get into our next little experiment. Shall I explain the event of this week? This event is playfully called “Egg-War”. You will have two days, starting today, to gather materials and construct a stronghold in a predetermined zone with everything you need to keep your team’s egg safe. That’s right, your team will be provided with a temporary egg. Strong walls, traps, a maze, perhaps. Whatever you need to keep it alive. Play dirty if you must - I know some of you certainly have the capability for it. At the end of the second day, you will have to select the location of your egg. It will not move from there, so place it somewhere strategic. You can complete tasks to get an item to grant temporary egg immunity to your egg. On the third day, you will hunt and slay the enemy teams’ eggs. The first team to kill an egg will get the most points of that day’s percentage. Get an armor, develop a strategy, and win. Oh, and I think I’ll be nice for once and give a huge prize to the best-looking base created; I’m evil, but I also know how to appreciate good art when I see it. Remember, your base has to look good, but protect your temporary egg the best. This is easy to understand, as the bloodthirst has caught up to most of you. See you soon, sinners.
Rules of the Egg-War Event
Greetings. Restless combatants. Let's get to the point. You are here to fight , not listen. The rules are simple. The event will start at 2pm and finish at 4pmst. You will begin hunting for the opposing team's egg on each team base. amidst the three bases, there will be a central cornucopia. you may be able to get materials for your success. They will each have a visible life bar to show their dwindling health. You will have to defend it with your life. Thankfully, I am generous. you will respawn closer to your base for the duration of the fight. You will also retain your inventory upon death. explosives will not destroy terrain, but can still damage your foes. whichever team deals the most damage to enemy eggs will achieve the highest percentage for the day. and because of your nervousness, I will remind you that assumptions about what may happen to your eggs will only result in suffering. May the best team win.
First Information on Eggs
Well, well. Look who's standing. Team Bolas. The "best" of the "worst". Congratulations on your win in the egg war event. An advantage will be waiting for you at our next event "Warzone Flag". This event will start on the 15th and conclude at the 17th. So, savor the tranquility before the storm, or not, because i've got more surprise for you all, despicable creatures. You've been loitering for some time so i'll be generous. I have a small gift, a scrap of intel about your precious miserable eggs. But it wouldn't be any of fun to just hand it over. Head to the nether, complete the mini-game, and you can taste those insipid crumbs of information. See you soon sinners.
Announcement of the Warzone Flag Event
Greetings, rodents. It is time to announce the next event. Listen closely and carefully. This event was named "Warzone Flag". It is divided in three phases, and will span from the 15th to the end of the 17th. You will be earning flags and claiming territory, akin to a strategic game of risk, let's see how the strategists of each team destroy each other, each phase will be explained when it is time, and remember if the cursed team loses your children will perish.
Phase 1 of the Warzone Flag Event
Welcome to the second event of Purgatory. Today we begin with phase 1. I will get to the point so you may begin faster. In phase 1, you must retrieve loot and flags from three stranded ship containers that will be found on the island's shores. You will earn points if you deliver these flags back to the npc. In addition, you are expected to build a base in the designated zone. It must hold plenty of provisions and resources for you to use. Why? Unlike the previous event, you cannot leave your designated zone to acquire more resources once the game has begun, so be sure to stock a fridge or two, you'll likely need it. Though seeing a bunch of fools starve to death and scamper around for food is an amusing thought.
Final Phase and Rules of the Warzone Flag Event
Greetings, pawns. Welcome to the final phase of the event. Its time to start the actual part of this event, the actual game of it. Both Teams will remain within the world borders for three rounds. In order to win a round, you must claim zones using your flags. To give an example, Team Soulfire uses three flags to claim a zone, Team Bolas now must use at minimum four flags to be able to overtake it, and so on. You will be able to steal flags from the enemy base and from their inventory by hitting them, you must carry the flags back to your base to claim them as your own. After that, you can use the claimed flags to continue taking over zones. Additional flags will be rewarded through one-on-one fights at the cornucopia. The team with most round-wins is the victor of this event. Your reward? The grandest prize of all, the egg. Now go forth. Strategize. Play the game. You've all been soo good at doing so.
Announcement of the end of Purgatory
Greetings. Vermins. I spy with my gigant eye a tie! How wonderful. One more opportunity to pit you agaisn't each other. Let's keep it simple. The leaders of both teams will engage in three rounds of one
-on-one combat. This will decide the winning team. You are permitted to choose the equipment you both will use for combat. And remember, dirty tricks are not off the table. Once you have prepared your equipment, you may begin the combat.
Congratulations. You have survived Purgatory. I had my fun shuffling those friendships around. Let's see how you all fare with each other after all of this. You want to return to your little island and prison. Comparatively, I'm pretty nice to you all. I just tell you to suffer and let you go your merry way. you desire your eggs. unfortunately for you, our games aren't over just yet. we will play a couple more games for my enjoyment, and this time, I will participate. isn't that fun? our first game is easy and i'm sure you will enjoy it.

How impressive you've got this far. Leader of the winning team, listen closely. You may spin the wheel once to claim your prize. One egg. Congratulations on surviving Purgatory. It was lovely having you here. In fact, it was so lovely that you should stay here. I remember catching some sentiments from some of you that you'd like to stay here. How about we make that happen? An eternity in purgatory, an eternity as my plaything. That's your fate - Forever here.
ElQuackity and The Watcher have an interesting relationship, where ElQuackity seemingly has worked for The Watcher before. ElQuackity was tasked by the Watcher to be a good agent to stir up some drama between the teams, and to tie the score on the day his team got eliminated so that everybody would die. At the end of the event, The Watcher said that ElQuackity would thrive under their command and that he would stay on the island. ElQuackity agreed to do what he offered.
After being left behind in Purgatory, The Watcher took care of Cellbit and Baghera. They said it was a pleasure to find out that they have chosen to remain here, and that the people they once considered their friends have betrayed and tortured them. As such, The Watcher said they might not be above them, but they can be above those "vermins", and they allowed them to make those new competitors feel the same way they have felt, encouraging their murderous rampage.
The manipulation carried out by The Watcher was so effective that Baghera and Cellbit began obediently following his orders, praising him as the best, declaring their willingness to do whatever he wished, given he "cared" for them during this time and was letting them feel something. Baghera says she understands the watcher because they all have been lying to them and that they are all sinners. However, after finding Pomme and Richarlyson's signs in the island, they start questioning The Watcher, and realize that the one who took the eggs away was him. After killing alot of people, the last mission they received from The Watcher was to kill "the sinners". They teleport to the place and find out it was their bunker, implying that they needed to kill each other. Baghera and Cellbit refuse to do so, since their connection was the only thing they had.
Trivia[]
It is theorized that The Watcher is inspired on "The Big Brother" from the dystopian 1949 novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.[1]
