    Inv's story can be explained into the canon easily.
    Inv spends his life tripping balls, or completely insane. When Moon's can fell, her matter rarefaction cells got knocked out of their slots, becoming damaged in the process. They then got scattered around scavengers and the rain. Inv finds them, and being off his rocker believing them to be eggs, takes them into its den each night.
    The red and hurricane lizards he sees everywhere, are just white, green, and pink lizards, among others. The Miros Vultures are just vultures. The red centipedes are normal pedes, if they're pedes at all. The rot and nacho dip is "floor is lava" hallucination, and Inv passes out in contact with it, presumably to be picked off by a lizard or something later. Pebbles didn't find a triple affirmative, he saw a slobbering drugged or otherwise insane slugcat drop into his chamber, and spaz around for a while. Pebbles put him out of his misery. And so on.

    *Seven or eight bricks of a pillar" confused me, because, or symatically, OF a pillar implies the bricks are only Parts of a greater structure, and that, without those bricks there would still be a pillar.
    While "7 or 8 bricks IN a pillar" could be interpreted the same way, but symatically could be interpreted as "a pillar made up of 7 or 8 bricks."
    When I read the first riddle, was racking my brain and spending time all over Rain World looking for pillars in the game with something inscribed on the bricks.
