Entity 230 appears as a wolf or a large dog. It has two variants: the wolf of darkness and the wolf of light, which are responsible for killing or caring for wanderers. This entity can be found in a large number of levels, except those that block entities. It has been observed to prefer levels in urban areas or open places.
Its senses are highly developed, more than any canine or feline in the frontrooms, except for its vision. It has been seen how its sense of smell, hearing, and touch have been able to detect its surroundings with great precision, which helps it have better control of the environment and choose the best possible option.
The Cadejo possess unique abilities. They can block the entrances and exits of the level they are in, although they are limited to a certain number of people or a specific person. They can block no-clipping within a 50-kilometer radius at will.
It can pass through solid objects at will, which prevents it from receiving or inflicting physical damage while this ability is active. Only the Cadejo's counterpart can harm it in this state, which occurs during battles that have been recorded. They have also been seen to walk at great speed on completely vertical surfaces or ceilings.
The Cadejo can perceive the emotions of all living beings around it, along with their memories. The entity can see the memories of everyone present at that moment, allowing it to understand the intentions and nature of the people it encounters, and thus, it decides whether to hunt or help, depending on the type of Cadejo it is.
The Cadejo has strong limbs that allow it to reach high speeds; when it runs, its paws are extremely silent, making it practically undetectable. Its fur also makes it nearly invisible to various forms of detection used by humans. Its powerful jaw generates extremely high temperatures when it bites, resulting in burns that, in some cases, can be as severe as third or fourth-degree burns. It can regenerate quickly within a few hours, including the regeneration of limbs and organs. The entity can revive once defeated after a few hours.
The dark Cadejo possesses a unique ability that its counterpart does not: the creation of auditory and visual illusions, such as the sounds of children, cries for help, environmental noises, and others, which it often uses to confuse its prey. On the other hand, the light Cadejo can illuminate its fur, and when this occurs, the effects on sanity and hallucinations decrease.
The light Cadejo can make its fur shine, which helps maintain sanity and eliminate hallucinations in the area while it is nearby. This is usually used when the place is dark or when the level has properties that affect sanity.
The entity has two appearances, but both share the characteristic of being a large canine with strong, long limbs, as well as the ability to change its traits. It improves all aspects of conventional dogs, including intelligence. The entity measures 230 cm and has an average weight of 92 kilos, this being the maximum size that both forms can reach. Its skin is immune to weapons and fire.
The dark Cadejo manifests with black fur and red eyes. It has also been noted that it never changes its appearance, unlike its counterpart. This wolf has been observed to act with great aggression, ambushing its prey gradually. When this occurs, its fur becomes camouflage.
The light Cadejo, on the other hand, manifests with white fur and blue eyes. It has been seen to change its appearance to smaller dogs or a less threatening version for the wanderers it usually seeks. It has also been observed that its fur can shine if it wishes, which it usually uses to help wanderers navigate in the dark.
The entity prefers dark and gloomy places when appearing. It has been seen to tend to appear in the colder months.
Dark Cadejo
It will seek out people with bad intentions or who have caused great suffering to others. When this happens, the entity will hunt them using illusions or tricks until they are completely alone. Finally, it will attack when the situation allows. It has been observed that the entity tends to make its victims suffer before finally killing them. There is no chance of escape unless another Cadejo intervenes.
Light Cadejo
The entity focuses solely on seeking out lonely people who perform acts of kindness and help others. Its main function is to guide these people to safe places or help them find their way to a safe level. The entity will watch over the wanderer throughout their journey and protect them under any circumstances. If forced to do so, it will eliminate any danger present in the surroundings. If necessary, the entity will stay with the person until they are safe.
Although rare, fights between Cadejos have been witnessed, as they seek out different types of people. However, sometimes, the dark Cadejo attacks the people protected by the other. Fights between Cadejos have been recorded, and when they occur, both are present. The battle does not end until one of them is defeated. These encounters are extremely bloody, and both usually end up with both of the Cadejos having deep wounds or one being killed. In all recorded encounters, the light Cadejo has emerged victorious, prevailing over the darkness to ensure that the person it protects reaches safety.
I have a memory in my mind of when I used to leave my home just to accompany my father on his travels. Our dog always accompanied us with a beautiful smile; I don't know if it was because of the desire to be with us or to go out and play and have fun. I lost everything I had left of that life. I thought that being in this place, I would lose those memories, but they became stronger in the worst moments. It has been useful in moments when my emotions are altered.
On a long and dark night, during my countless adventures with no true end, I felt the sensation of being watched as I walked. Every time I looked back, I realized that I was surrounded by loneliness. The place was a dark urban area; I expected no less than to find entities in my path. While escaping, I could only think about how my life had become an involuntary reflection of my flight from my problems. Always running, destined for that, to flee. I never thought of anything other than escaping. My legs got used to it after many years of doing the same.
My mind only worried about taking me to a place where I could go. I thought about what would happen when my legs finally gave up or I couldn't find a safe place. I couldn't think clearly about my surroundings because of everything happening in my mind. I thought that, anyway, I kept doing the same thing over and over again. When will I stop doing this? At that moment, in the distance, a howl and barks took me out of my reverie. Before my eyes, a white wolf, and seeing it, I could feel nothing but curiosity and vague, blurry memories.
I thought it would attack me, like everything in this place, but I simply felt it approaching gently, adopting a stance ready to defend me from the entities. It, with great strength, attacked them and in a few minutes eliminated them, then approached again. Seeing it smile, I couldn't help but remember those moments with my pet. It came closer to me, lowered its head, and, by an involuntary reflex, I petted it. I felt happy to reconnect with what I had suppressed for so long.
The wolf signaled for me to follow it, and it guided me to a safe level in the cold night. While writing this, I couldn't help but feel nostalgic and melancholic, while a lump formed in my throat. "A beautiful memory..."
