Habitat: The Timerooms(With The Exepction of Level 7)

Description

The Dread Octopi are hostile entities found in The timerooms, the appear as large grey-black like octopuses that usually appear in the sky, there are not many photos of them due to the fact that looking at one for more than 10 seconds causes insanity and mental breakdowns, however looking at images, camera footages, or paintings of them is 100% safe, they usually are found floating in the sky or coming out of skies, and at a certain distance every colour began to turn into a brown-greyish colour, as well as mirrors shattering. They can be found in every level of the timerooms except for Level 7, however they are usually found in level 5 and 6. M.E.G Advises that if you see one, you turn around and began running in the other direction, and go into an area with no windows or holes. All of them have different sizes, with some being over 100 meters, whilst some are as small as childs, they can also detect radio waves such as television broadcasts. They have not been found outside of the timerooms, and it is most likely that they do not exist outside of it yet. They are considered a very dangerous entity due to their insanity inducement, and thus it is advised to avoid them all costs. They are one of the only entities exclusive to the timerooms, with the other one being the lurker.

Behavior

The Dread Octopi are hostile and are attracted to radio waves, despite their eye sight, they use radiowaves to find their victims , which is why using any internet network is not advised if you are in the timerooms. When they found their victim, they will either attempt to neutralize them by using their insanity gaze, or by using their tentacles to catch them and take them away. It is unknown what happens after they catch you, due to nobody actually surviving it. However it is likely they would either consume you or use you as bait to trap more wanderers. They also seem to be hostile to all other entities with the exeption of smilers. However, it is unknown whenever their insanity inducement works on other entities or not.

Biology

The dread octopuses seem to look similar to octopuses from the frontrooms, however there are several key differences between the two. The skin of a dread octopus is usually a grey-blue like colour or a black colour, and their tentacles can range from 6 to thousands, their eye colour tends to be a yellow-green-greyish colour however some of them have red eye colours. They also have different sizes, and it is likely that they can alter their size in some way. Most of their biology is unknown due to their hostile nature.

Discovery

First encounter with a dread Octopus was made by a wanderer known as "Josh" In the second level of the timerooms, he was able to tell M.E.G about it, however he was unable to escape the timerooms and likely got killed by a dread octopus. After this, It was spotted many times, M.E.G has confirmed that they are in every level of the timerooms with the only exclusion being level 7. There have been not sightings of any dread octopus outside of the timerooms, the closest things to that were the beast in level 5, and visions seen in the "ozymandias" level of the serpentrooms, however they are most likely dread octopuses.
