Awful Hospital: hi-res Harold (and minor spoilers) (Patreon)

Harold first appeared as a dummy lying in the corner of Jay's Hospital room, and was mentioned in his journals as something he used to talk to, then something he was taking out his aggression on. This references the real-world horror folk tale of Harold the scarecrow, made more famous by Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

Harold, in the original story, slowly came to life because of the two farmers treating it like a living being, and pouring so much of their emotion into it as they began to mistreat it. Whether something similar happened between Jay and this being is something I don't plan on really deciding myself.

Harold is one of the "Old Flesh" pieces, like the inner circle Parliament, but commenters have already correctly guessed that Harold was rejected by them, possibly for being too unstable to keep under control.

Beneath the sack, Harold is a basket-like webbing of fleshy tubes.
