The Unsummoned is a rare driving event in Death Road to Canada.
Encounter Text[]
The group notices a foul smell coming from the floorboards. Sulfur. Rotting mutton. Candy corn.
A flash of light and the sound of a thousand whales exploding fills the car.
If alone[]
The smoke clears to reveal THE DEMON HEKATRIUS.
He asks if you have pizza. He could use a hot slice.
If not alone[]

He asks if you have pizza. He could really use a hot slice.

Trivia[]
- If the Unsummon happen on characters with locked weapon slots (usually the topmost weapon) then the weapon will be replaced with the Devil's Fork. Characters like Bee Mann, Fencer, and L*nk will lose their special, permanent, weapons. Characters with only one weapon slot like Kaiju and Giga Guy will permanently have the Devil's Fork.
