Chiron

Chiron is a cryptid that Kris Straub has designated as the mascot for the Local 58 series. He is a bipedal, multi-limbed creature with several CRT television sets for a head that first began appearing in artworks posted by Straub on Instagram and Patreon in the summer of 2020. In 2022, several t-shirt designs were added to the series' online storefront which not only featured Chiron's likeness, but even designated his name for the first time. While Chiron has not yet appeared in any Local 58 videos, Straub has confirmed that he plans to formally introduce him into the series at some point.

Trivia

• Chiron's design, namely the trait of possessing multiple devices in place of a head, is reminiscent of Canadian horror artist Trevor Henderson's creation, Siren Head, a character that Straub has cited before as an inspiration in his character design process.
• Chiron shares his name with a moon of Saturn that was claimed to have been discovered in 1861 before it was determined to have never existed in the first place as well as a centaur from Greek mythology whom the Roman poet Ovid believed was honored by the constellation Centaurus.
