A backslash inside a string is one character, but is written as two, in a program's source code.

If you replace \ with \\ in your source, it should work on screen, but your image will look like a mess in your code.

I suggest using another character in your source, then have the program replace it with \ before printing.

The screen will look correct, and the source code will be similar to the screen.

  • Fixed the way of accessing the ASCII art (EggBinar[0] instead of EggBinar(len(0))).
  • Added raw strings (r''') formatting for strings, making the code cleaner.

Python:
import math
import random
import time
import datetime as dt

EggBinar = [r'''
  ______
  /    \
 /      \
/  |  |  \
|        |
|   __   |
\        /
 \      /
  \    /
 /|\  /|\
''']

print("Welcome to the world of CCmon! Please be patient.\n")
print("Before you can enter this world, we need a little information\n")
print("to make the right character for this world.")
UserName = input("What is your name?: ")
UserGender = input("Are you Male or Female?: ")

print(f"Welcome, {UserName}, to the world of CCmon! My name is Professor Albert Iggyness, or Prof AI for short.")
print("This world is inhabited by computer-made monsters that were brought to life using ancient technology.")
print("These Monsters are the subject of my research, but instead of just telling you, let me show you one.")

print(EggBinar[0])

print("That, my friend, is a CCmon known as EggBinar.")

Python:
EggBinar = r'''
  ______
  /    \
 /      \
/  |  |  \
|        |
|   __   |
\        /
 \      /
  \    /
 /|\  /|\
'''

print(EggBinar)
