All 7 Backrooms Entities

• Shadow dwelling — exists only in complete darkness
• Light vulnerability — retreats from direct light
• Instant kill — fatal attack if caught without light

The Smilers may be the oldest entities in the Backrooms. Some theories suggest they are the darkness itself given form — that the Backrooms created them as guardians of its deeper levels. Their smile is the last thing many wanderers ever see.

Smilers inhabit dark zones of the Backrooms. You will see their grin first — a crescent of teeth hovering in the black. Keep your flashlight on them and they will retreat. Let your light die and they strike instantly. Always carry backup batteries.

• Sense drain — reduces player perception and reaction time
• Aura of lethargy — slows players in proximity
• Camouflage — blends into the environment when still

M.E.G. researchers believe the Duller feeds on cognitive energy. Recovered agents who survived prolonged exposure report weeks of mental fog and inability to concentrate. Some never fully recover.

The Duller is deceptive in its threat level. It does not charge or chase — instead, it lingers nearby, slowly draining your awareness until you can no longer react to real threats. If your vision starts to blur and your movements feel heavy, a Duller is close.

• Sound tracking — follows noise made by players
• Erratic movement — unpredictable patrol patterns
• Ambush — waits motionless in dark corners before lunging

Once human wanderers who spent too long in the Backrooms. Their bodies twisted and mutated from prolonged exposure to the fluorescent hum. They no longer remember who they were — only hunger remains.

Wretches are drawn to sound. Walking, talking, or using equipment will attract them. They move erratically, making them hard to predict. Crouching and staying silent is the best way to avoid them. They often lurk near puzzle areas.

• Sprint burst — extreme speed in short distances
• Scent tracking — can follow players across rooms
• Territorial — patrols specific areas aggressively

No one knows what the Hound was before. Some M.E.G. researchers theorize it evolved within the Backrooms itself — a predator perfectly adapted to the endless corridors. It marks territory with scratch patterns on walls.

The Hound patrols its territory relentlessly. If it spots you, running is rarely an option — it is faster than you. Hiding or using distraction tools is your best bet. Listen for its growls to gauge proximity.

• Teleportation — moves players to random locations
• Team separation — targets isolated players
• Spatial distortion — warps the environment near it

The Transporter may be a manifestation of the Backrooms' spatial anomalies given sentient form. M.E.G. teams have documented cases where transported agents ended up in completely unmapped sections, never to be found again.

The Transporter does not kill directly, but being transported to an unknown area alone is often a death sentence. Stay with your team and avoid its spatial distortion field. If you see the environment warping around you, move away immediately.

• Perfect disguise — mimics the appearance of team members
• Voice replication — copies voice patterns
• Ambush strike — devastating attack from disguise

The most feared entity in the Backrooms. The Skin Stealer has no known original form. M.E.G. files suggest it feeds not just on flesh but on identity itself, consuming the very essence of who its victims were.

The Skin Stealer separates a player from the group, eliminates them silently, and takes their appearance. It then rejoins the team, waiting for another opportunity. Use VOIP communication carefully — trust but verify your teammates.

• Lure — creates party decorations to attract players
• Mimicry — can imitate human voices and laughter
• Infection — contact can begin a grotesque transformation

Former wanderers who were "invited to the party" — a euphemism for a grotesque transformation. Their skin takes on a yellowish hue, their smiles become permanent, and they exist only to bring others to "the party."

Party Goers set elaborate traps disguised as celebrations. If you hear distant party music or find balloons in the Backrooms, be extremely cautious. They can mimic teammate voices to lure individuals away from the group.
