Pajama Sam in "No Need To Hide When It's Dark Outside" |
Carrot is the leader of a group of freedom fighting vegetables in the first Pajama Sam game. He is met in the garden across the river from the dock. He also appears in the second and third games, and the books Pajama Sam and the Magic Hat Tree and Pajama Sam: Mission to the Moon.
Characteristics
The leader of the Salad Liberation Front is a fully grown carrot with a "hippie like" personality. He speaks in a dialect of the late 60's hippie. He has a small green goatee, the same color as his stalk. For most of the game, he is wearing Sam's mask, stating that "it belongs to the people" and "property is theft." He later admits that he is really wearing the mask to protect his identity. His fellow carrots look up to him as the only one capable of leading for the cause. For the appliances in Darkness's Kitchen, he is a menace. The refrigerator describes him as a "troublesome carrot leader guy."
History
Salad Liberation Front
The Salad Liberation Front is "A group of veggies fighting against the course system." Tired of being "relegated to the salad," their goal is to become the main course of mealtime. However, their plans were cut short when a majority of the carrots were taken prisoner by the appliances in Darkness's kitchen.
In some games, Sam will find Carrot in Darkness' garden and notice his mask on Carrot. Carrot reveals himself and states that he needs Sam's mask in order to protect his identity as the leader of the Salad Liberation Front. The leader promises to give Sam his mask in exchange for Sam helping him free the carrots from Darkness' kitchen.
After Sam finds the kitchen and frees the carrots, Carrot gives Sam his Pajama Sam mask back.
World Wide Weather
After earning a degree in economics at the University of Cauliflower at Broccoli (a play on real-life university the University of California at Berkeley), Carrot infiltrated World Wide Weather, disguised as the nose of a snowman named Langston, in order to expose the egregious exploitation of their workers.
After giving Langston a new nose that matched his outfit, Pajama Sam took Carrot to a board meeting at the weather factory, where Carrot helped Sam either explain Giffen's Paradox or describe the U.S. economy, so Sam could pass a test and become a board member. Then he was allowed to use the members-only key, which he used to open the door to a bathroom that the Velocimomometer was locked inside.
When Sam left the meeting he left his "assistant", Carrot, there to represent him. Carrot influenced the board to make lots of changes, such as providing proper seating for all the board members, and soon he became the chairman of the board.
Moptop Island Peace Conference
When General Beetfoot decided to declare war on the Fats and Sweets of Moptop Island, Carrot organized a peace conference at the Food Pyramid, choosing one member of each of the six food groups as a delegate. Four of the delegates had trouble getting to the conference (mostly because of the Sweets), so Pajama Sam helped them get to the Pyramid, and then he gave a speech at the conference that convinced General Beetfoot to declare peace.
