The Carnage Referee[2] (also simply Referee)[1] is a non-playable character in Contra: Rogue Corps.
Description[]
This character appears as a human-like Fiend with a large video recording studio camera as a head. He appears to be primarily tied to television materials involving LIVE action sports, such as CON T.U.B.E. and the Carnage League, likely to provide LIVE video feed to the crowds and spectators watching the action. Two are present at the Base Camp as they wait for players to join PvP mode; one can be seen grooving atop the APC while the other sometimes appears off to the side of the vehicle nearby, behind barricades. At times this second Referee may appear either by himself or in front of two Jaegers.
Carnage Referees make an interactable appearance within Carnage League matches. As they perform their Referee roles up-close, they can be hit by weapons fire, eventually killing them. Much of their motions are identical to that of the Red Axe Fiends and they also explode into purple blood like one. The Referees can also be stunned by various and weapons if not killed by these attacks first. Once stunned, they can be carried by a hero, where the carrier can toss them into an opposing team's Shredder to Score game points. Once one Referee dies, another one takes the fallen one's place on the arena by simply falling out of the sky with a face first landing.

Trivia[]
- The Carnage Referees are one of the few Fiends to not be hostile to the Rogue Corps (along with "Bugs"), so much so that they are allowed to roam freely around parts of the Rogue Corps's Base Camp. It is unclear as to why this is, as an explanation is never given. With the death of the Damned City, it is possible that the Carnage Referees eventually expired.
