Entity Number:999


Habitats:Majority

A Gearhead sleeping and/or preparing to ambush

Description

The Gearhead, or entity 999 is a large entity made up of wires, metal, generators and a old TV for a head. It has 2 arms and a tangle of wires, like a tail. It seemingly hides and waits for entities or wanderers to go by. You can tell when nearby one by listening for a rumble of a generator, the humming of static, or the screeching noise it makes, if it screeches that means it has heard and/or found you.

It will blend in with the wall and sleep with its "head" sticking out of the wall, if you get close it will begin to boot up and begin to attack, you have a good 10 seconds to run, once you hear the jingle, its over.

Behaviors

The entity will wander around until it finds its prey, it will begin to chase when it finds any living entity or wanderer.

Once it catches them it will rip it apart and shove it down a hole in their neck, "eating it"

If you want to live to tell the tale i recommend using a friend as bait, or if you are a little risky then try taming it, if it has a broken screen, RUN, you are unable to tame the amalgamations, to tame a Gearhead simply stand your ground, if you run you die. Then begin to shine a light source at it, i have no idea why this works but it does.


Biology

The Gearheads have black cables covering their body which are connected to the main TV and the generators, they also seemingly have rebar arms which they use to move, but as seen in the "worm" variant they do not need the arms, There are multiple variants, the base "Gearhead", The walkers, which have legs but smaller arms, The worm, with no legs or arms and the amalgamation, which is like the worm but with a cracked screen it uses like a jaw.

The walkers, which are the only friendly ones seem to farm to get generator fuel, they also generate the most heat, when they age (little is known about the aging process) or lose their arms and legs they become a worm

Discovery

The entity was discovered by a wanderer by the name of Jackie Thompson, they discovered the Gearhead on floor 00 while looking for firesalt, they saw the entity and began to run, it was rumored that the Gearheads can use firesalt as fuel.
