Physical Description
Tuna and sweetcorn, on the verge of being perhaps a deific race, are beings of small-human-sized, sandwich-like visage. They appear to achieve locomotion through some sort of wobbling and sliding, along the base of their baguette-like bodies. Many of purer mind would regard these as true abominations, to animate what is essentially a poisoned tuna sandwich is a terrible plan, but, through luck or through deep evils, this race has achieved not only existence, but the ability to reproduce, through closely-guarded means. There appears to be no gender dimorphism - No Tuna and Sweetcorn seems to identify as 'male', or 'female', and there are no biological properties to indicate as such. Though it may not seem like it, the tuna and sweetcorn can extend its bready/tuna-y/sweetcorny self into two arms, that can indeed wield and act as any normal limbs.
