Obvious Theories cause I re-read this!

So a prominent theory in here is that Guwon is a maggot (the "zombie" of this universe) and that he's the very first maggot to ever exist or is a mutated maggot.

In the introduction of this universe, it was revealed that a natural disaster hit Korea and possibly the world (unstated) with the release of these zombie-like creatures that are called Maggots. It is unknown if these maggots infect other people via bite, spores or any other means (althought spores are unlikely). It is also unknown how these maggots move, what triggers them to be violent, blinded rage? Hunger or starvation? How they live, how many have been infected. Hopefully these questions can be answered soon.

The leading theory that Guwon is a maggot isn't entirely bullshit. As we know, maggots have a distinct appearance, dislocated joints, somewhat elongated limbs, and especially their white irises—which, you guessed it—Guwon also possesses. The stitch marks all over Guwon's body suggests either tattoos or actual stitches. This is where the theory of how he is patient zero of the maggots—a perfect experiment. Fully conscious, extremely strong, great stamina and acute observation. A fact supporting this theory is, of course, Guwon's lack of basic education as well as failing to talk about his past because he simply "doesn't know". This leads me to believe that not only was Guwon the patient zero, but he is a fully lab-created being who's body parts were stitched (or was a corpse stitched back together). Another fact supporting this is his statement about particularly not needing sleep. We don't know how a maggot functions or how they replenish their energy, we can guess that they are really zombie-like and stay awake until they collapse from exhaustion—and this can be applied to Guwon. Him being the perfect experiment just means that he truly does not particularly need sleep and does not need to eat much.

Okay I've yapped enough, it's 12 AM and my sleep paralysis demon is behind me, until next time!

    Tbh, that's pretty fair to theorize that considering Guwon is strikingly inhuman compared to the rest of people here, even the Hounds.
