Everyone knew the Oracle's human head was fake but that didn't stop them from looking it right in the eyes that weren't made to see. The real one was beneath its large robes, disguised as an ornate eye that seemed to follow you around the chamber (it did and that was always a bad omen).
Though the human face was pleasant enough to look at, the unblinking gaze and the voice coming from its stomach region made the whole experience a tad uncomfortable. Still, as long as the Oracle didn't start peeking out from under the robe to see you better, your fortune would be mediocre at the worst.
When it felt the need to see you unhindered by cloth, then you knew that ending your life right then and there would be a happier outcome. It took us a fair while to realise that sometimes the Oracle just wanted people to die so it could eat them in a flash of blinding light and crunching bones and claim they ascended.
