Native Americans in the area called it by a word similar to dragon and performed rituals to appease it.

Some people have sudden desires to worship that organism or even throw themselves into its gastric pits.

What will happen if he wakes up? Is he asleep? Can he "wake up?"

The Permian Basin Superorganism is so large and has lived for so long that a unique ecosystem of troglobitic creatures has evolved within it, having been cut off from the rest of the world. The majority of the park's fauna include bizarre variations on arthropods, echinoderms, molluscs, cnidarians, worms, etc., leading to speculation that the PBS was originally located in an aquatic environment. A few vertebrate species have wandered into the superorganism over the eons, one of the most notable examples of which is the "Amorphous Shame" - descended from common weasels, they became so dependent on parasitism of the superorganism's blood that almost all of their bodily features atrophied, leaving them little more than a sessile blob of organs (vaguely similar to liver flukes). Several creatures within the cave-like ecosystem can grow to massive size, such as the Abyssal Copepod - a 20 foot long, 300 pound crustacean with unusually human-shaped hands. Increasingly more bizarre fauna in the depths of the pit defy current scientific understanding.

One of the most drastic but least understood properties of the Permian Basin Superorganism is that living creatures trapped within it will at times, through unknown forces, become horrifically fused together.

The "Mystery Flesh Pit National Park" was created within the superorganism by the Anodyne corporation, treating this living and not even fully explored creature much like a natural cave system to attract tourists and adventure-seekers

The "flesh pit" is officially referred to as the "Permian Basin Superorganism" (Immanis Colosseus). It is an ancient, vaguely echinoderm-like underground superorganism of such colossal size that it is measured on a geological scale. While the entrance is located near the town of Gumption, its biomass spans across multiple counties in West Texas. Expeditions have only mapped it out to at least 100 to 150 kilometers in width and at least 20 kilometers in depth, but this may only be a fraction of its full extent. While it is dormant, perhaps in some form of hibernation, its biological processes are still very much active.

The age and origins of the superorganism are unknown. Geological evidence indicates it has been in its current location for at least several hundred thousand years, and possibly millions of years. Some speculate that it might be extraterrestrial in origin, although there is no evidence to support this, and other known details about it suggest that it is from Earth; for example, it is biochemically compatible with terrestrial organisms. There is widespread scientific speculation that it was aquatic in origin or at least spent a great deal of time in the ocean, given the large number of prehistoric seashells in its digestive tract and the presence of numerous endosymbionts and parasites that reside within its body which are descended from aquatic ancestors.

Mystery Flesh Pit National Park is a science fiction horror project by artist Trevor Roberts that combines multimedia illustrations, text, and immersive world building. The story revolves around the fictional Mystery Flesh Pit, a colossal and ancient superorganism discovered beneath the town of Gumption, Texas, during an oil drilling operation.

It's a simple organism that lies underground, dormant, impossible to the ages. It somehow consumes everything that enters its fleshy bodies. Within its organism, flora and fauna adapted to its interior exist.
