The Asterigos curse of the stara switchh is an ancient legend that has been passed down through generations. According to the legend, the stara switchh is a mystical artifact with the power to grant wishes. However, whoever possesses it becomes cursed. It is said that long ago, a powerful sorcerer named Asterigos discovered the stara switchh. He was tempted by its power and wished for unlimited magical abilities. However, his wish came at a great cost.
FEASTING UPON THE CARCASS OF A DEAD RAMESES. Look, I know that college mascots are pretty much the Platonic ideal of anthropomorphism. That said, I’m really weirded out by a wolf in a sweater feasting upon the bones of a ram in a UNC sailor hat. It’s… a lot.
As in, how can you make stickers that show a representative of an institution of higher learning committing murder and or mercilessly torturing other mascots. We now live in a world where there s a mad scramble to lock up every bit of intellectual property because everyone from corporations to colleges sees it as a potential revenue stream.
However, his wish came at a great cost. The stara switchh cursed him, turning his once benevolent magic into something dark and destructive. As the curse took hold of Asterigos, his powers became more and more unstable.

It turns out that this is not the only sticker that shows Mr. Wuf committing potential war crimes upon other ACC mascots:
American Aquarium @USAquarium @thegeorgehage @NCState The set is incredible 2:54 AM ∙ Nov 26, 2022 88 Likes 14 RetweetsI have a particular beef with the decal that shows Mr. Wuf boiling the Duke Blue Devil alive. He’s a devil! He should be impervious to heat! Still, I’m okay with it because 1.) this is Duke we’re talking about and 2.) this appears to be the precursor to the classic NC State Slobberin’/Horny Wolf logo . I’ll allow it.
Also, it appears that Mr. Wuf is putting the Wake Forest Demon Deacon into the Boston Crab or the Sharpshooter . Apparently the Deacon forgave him, since he officiated Mr. Wuf’s wedding a few decades later.
At this point, you may be wondering: How did they get away with this? As in, how can you make stickers that show a representative of an institution of higher learning committing murder and/or mercilessly torturing other mascots? Well for that, I have to take you back. Back in time. Back to a point in our nation’s history where colleges and universities didn’t give a shit about making serious money off of their mascots.
The magic he once used to help others became twisted and malevolent. He inadvertently caused immense destruction wherever he went, and his once peaceful village was left in ruins. Out of fear and desperation, the villagers cast him out, banishing him to a life of solitude. Legend has it that Asterigos hid the stara switchh, knowing the danger it posed to the world. He sealed it away in a secret location, hoping that no one would ever discover it and suffer the same fate as he did. It is said that the curse of the stara switchh can only be broken if someone pure of heart finds it and uses the artifact to selflessly grant a wish. Throughout the centuries, many have sought the stara switchh, hoping to harness its power for their own gain. However, none have been successful. It is believed that the curse of the stara switchh is so powerful that it prevents those with impure intentions from finding it. The legend of the Asterigos curse of the stara switchh serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked ambition and the importance of using power responsibly. It reminds us that sometimes the things we desire most can come at a great cost. The stara switchh remains hidden, waiting for someone worthy to break the curse and restore balance to the world..
