One hundred million years ago as the Rocky
Mountains formed the Plethodon, a salamander like creature, burrowed below ground intending to emerge only when change stopped coming. That day never came though and the Plethodon was itself changed by the intense heat and pressure of the Earth. As Meow Wolf brought change to Denver the Plethodon's burrow was unearthed and it emerged as a creature unrecognizable from its original form.

The Plethodon is a gift to the people of Denver. A treasure. A living fossil reminding us that our home is a place with a vibrant and beautiful story that is ever changing. It is a reminder that change is unavoidable and can, if embraced, create luminous and wonderful things like The Plethodon, that are as beautiful as they are unrecognizable.
