A god worshipped by the Brazilian crawlers Osvaldo and Filipe — the faith that bars them from the Cabaret escape.
Tupa is a god (or goddess) worshipped by the Brazilian crawlers Osvaldo and Filipe L of Team Flamengo — a deity Carl has never heard of. The name (echoing the Tupi thunder-god of Brazilian myth) surfaces only as Carl reckons with the Pineapple Cabaret's entry rule: no one who worships a god may enter without instigating a smite. Because Team Flamengo worships Tupa, they can never be smuggled to the oasis — a devastating realization that leaves Carl stuck with them as unsaveable rivals in his heat.
An unmanifested deity, unseen and undescribed in these chapters.
The god of Osvaldo and Filipe, whose worship disqualifies them from the Cabaret escape.
