Trivia

• The Converter is a reference to a converter, a device or system that changes the form of something.
• According to Edmund via the Four Souls Isaac lore stream, the Converter's sprite was originally supposed to be similar to an adapter that converted US-standard power plugs for UK-standard power outlets, then he "just threw some wires on it."
• The Converter can be seen as an opposite to Guppy's Paw. Where the Converter takes two Soul or Black Hearts to form a Heart container (or just one Soul or Black Heart as of Repentance), Guppy's Paw takes one Heart container to form three Soul Hearts. Additionally, their flavor texts are similar.
