| − | '''The Shelled One''', formerly known only as The Peanut, is an entity of unknown origin and intention which has appeared during pivotal moments in [[Blaseball]] history, especially surrounding those that incur [[Bad Gateway (Event)|Bad Gateway]] events. Not to be confused with [[peanuts]], The Shelled One is a singular large rotating peanut that displays ominous messages to Blaseball participants, typically during a [[siesta]]. While The Shelled One is on the site, no games can be viewed, no items can be purchased, and no ballots can be cast.

| − | The Shelled One was thought to be a symbol of and/or punishment for [[Blasphemy]], but its additional reappearance during the events of [[The Grand Unslam]] have called that into question. The followers of [[The Third Strike#Peanut Idolarty|Peanut Idolatry]] believe it to be the most important of all the [[Blaseball Gods]]. Most fans believe it to be a peanut.

While all observed Shelled Ones to date are shelled<ref>but not {{Shelled}}</ref> [[Entities]], it is unknown (though unlikely, given the nature of blaseball cosmology) whether all shelled Entities are Shelled Ones. |

| − | === Blasphemy ===
| + | [[Category:Disambiguation]] |
| − | The Shelled One first appeared during the [[Blasphemy]] event on [[Season 3]] Day 2 (Monday, August 3, 2020), after the [[Peanut Fraud]] incident. The Shelled One appeared with the word "BLASPHEMY" in red text and a string of letters above in dark gray text that could be revealed by highlighting. The Shelled One appeared again during the additional short periods of Blasphemy, again with the word "BLASPHEMY."

| − | === The Grand Unslam ===
| |
| − | The Shelled One appeared for a second time during [[The Grand Unslam]] on Season 3 Day 74 (Thursday, August 6, 2020). The Shelled One was visually identical to its first appearance, but the red text underneath changed every few minutes to display the following series of messages: <blockquote>HELLO<br/>DID YOU TASTE THE INFINITE?<br/>I AM BENEVOLENT<br/>I AM A SNACK<br/>I AM A LEGUME<br/>I WAS BENEVOLENT<br/>YOU ARE INSATIABLE<br/>WHERE IS YOUR RESTRAINT?</blockquote>

| − | === Season 3 Postseason ===
| |
| − | The Shelled One appeared for the third time following the semi-final games of the Season 3 postseason (Saturday, August 8, 2020). This was the first time The Shelled One appeared unrelated to a siesta. The Shelled One only appeared on the site for a few minutes and displayed the following messages:<blockquote>SO ABOUT THE PEANUTS<br/>[[The Book of Blaseball#Opening the Forbidden Book|THE BOOK]] WAS STRIKE ONE<br/>[[Peanut Fraud|THE FRAUD]] IS STRIKE TWO<br/>YOU WILL LEARN [[The Discipline Era|DISCIPLINE]]<br/>PEANUTS<br/>[[Peanuts#Peanuts as Item|GET YOUR PEANUTS]]<br/>WHILE YOU STILL CAN</blockquote>Following these messages, the site returned as normal for a brief period. Participants quickly noticed that the price for a bucket of peanuts in the shop had dropped from 1,000,000 [[Blaseball Coins|Coins]] to just 1,000 (still at a 1:1 ratio). Many participants attempted to purchase this now-attainable amount of peanuts, and the site promptly crashed, sending the league into a true siesta.
| |
| − | | |
| − | During the [[Grand Siesta]] period that followed the end of Season 3, peanuts continued to be attainable for 1,000 coins; however, few were able to purchase them because no betting could be done at this time.

| − | === Season 4 Opening ===
| |
| − | The Shelled One appeared again shortly before the beginning of [[Season 4]] (Monday, August 24, 2020).

| − | === Season 5 Election Results ===
| |
| − | The Shelled One appeared for the sixth time right after elections closed at the end of [[Season 5]] (Sunday, September 6, 2020) and before results were posted. It displayed the following messages:<blockquote>WHO IS TALKING<br/>BE QUIET<br/>[[Idols|YOU WORSHIP THEM]]<br/>WHEN I WALK AMONG YOU?<br/>[[Peanuts#Dan-Peanut Replacement|MY PROGENY]]<br/>MY PODS<br/>HONOR THEM TO HONOR ME</blockquote>

| − | ===Season 6===
| |
| − | After the final game on [[Season 6]], Day 99 had ended (Friday, September 11, 2020), a countdown to the top of the hour appeared on the [[Idols]] page. At the end of the timer, the Shelled One appeared with the following messages:<blockquote>NO HALF-MEASURES<br/>DO NOT PATRONIZE ME<br/>WHO IS [[Jessica Telephone|TELEPHONE]]?<br/>[[Nagomi Mcdaniel|MCDANIEL]]?<br/>[[The_Discipline_Era|STRIKE THREE]]<br/>ONE MORE AND YOU ARE OUT</blockquote>

| |
| − | | |
| − | Additionally, following Season 7, Day 99, The Shelled One appeared with an uncharacteristically long transmission:<blockquote>WOW<br/>WOWW<br/>WOWWW<br/>SERIOUSLY<br/>WILD<br/>MILD<br/>WILD<br/>MILD<br/>WILD<br/>WOW<br/>YES<br/>THAT IS MORE LIKE IT.<br/>HAVE YOU EVER SEEN SUCH TALENT?<br/>TOP 3 WOULD BE BETTER<br/>WHAT IS THIS THOUGH?<br/>A SHOW OF UNITY?<br/>YOU WITHHOLD YOUR LABOR?<br/>YOU THINK THAT GIVES YOU POWER?<br/>PITY</blockquote>The Shelled One appeared to be referencing the [[Snackrifice]], a fan campaign to shell all the pitchers from the [[Unlimited Tacos]].
| |
| − | | |

| − | ===Season 8===
| |

| − | ===Season 8 Elections===

| − | In the message announcing the extended siesta that followed Season 3, The Game Band referenced The Peanut. The message assured fans that Blaseball would be back, saying "But we will be back. The Peanut demands it. It's not finished with you yet."<ref>[[Extended Siesta#"Blaseball is taking an Extended Siesta."|"Blaseball is taking an Extended Siesta"]]</ref>

ABUSE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.<ref>ump_sunman. #announcements, Blaseball Discord. 8.6.2020.</ref></blockquote>It is unconfirmed if The Shelled One and The Peanut have any direct relation to one another, but some fans have speculated that they are possibly the same entity or that The Peanut is some kind of messenger for The Shelled One.
