[http://tapestry-of-horror.deviantart.com/ Tapestry of Horror] is an [[Original Character Tournament]] currently taking place on the art website [http://www.deviantart.com/ Deviantart]. The theme and setting is basically a [[Circus of Fear]] with animals. The basic guidelines for entry were that all characters had to be non-human, although there was never clear definition of [[What Measure Is a Non
Although most Original Character Tournaments operate on either a 16, 32, or 64 competitor bracket system, Tapestry of Horror managed to fit in 36 competitors by adding a Danger Zone. The Danger Zone competitors fought an extra Lightning Round before Round 2 started.

Line 58 ⟶ 57:
* [[Circus of Fear]]

* [[Colour
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]
* [[Creator Cameo]]: Sort of. Pft, the jackalope, is one the character of the tournament's host. Despite not being involved in Tapestry of Horror at all, it keeps making appearances and cameos.

Line 111 ⟶ 110:
* [[Intellectual Animal]]: Naturally, as it would be rather difficult to have a non-intelligent animal competing, although some of the competitors make you wonder...
* [[Insane Equals Violent]]: Gatling.
* [[
* [[Kill It With Fire]]: Dear god, how many fire users are there!?
* [[Kill Us Both]]: Void uses this tactic to finally take down Revenant, with help from Quincy.
Line 127 ⟶ 126:

* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]

* [[What Measure Is a Non
** Of particular significance for the robot characters. The competitors have gotten into some interesting philosophical debates about whether killing them actually constitutes committing murder since they have no souls.
*** A problem further complicated by the fact that Mortie was GIVEN A SOUL at the end of Round Two. Mind screw anyone?
* [[Who Is This Guy Again?]]: ''Who the heck is Void?''
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Ach'M and his terror of anything that flies. Also, Quincy's fear of technology.
* [[Wolf Man]]: Carlotta, who is actually a woman.
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]
