Level 186 is the 187th level of The Backrooms.

Please don’t edit this and add stupid information. The info might confuse some wanderers.

Template:Class -1

Description

Level 186 is an otherworldly adaptation of The Frontrooms. It is covered with unique plants and objects (except in The Alien District). There are many entities here, a vast majority of them are usually quite friendly. Most flora here produce air for wanderers and entities to breathe. The temperature vary in certain areas of this level, but between different areas, the change in appearance and temperature are very noticeable, as the change isn’t ‘smooth’.

Areas

So far, there have been three reported areas, but there are likely more.

The Alien District

This area is unique in the fact that there are some plants from Level Alien World that are found here. It is about 33 degrees Celsius (91.4 degrees Fahrenheit) here. These are the plants that have been found so far:

Flora Not Found in Level Alien World

Purplegrass (Zoysia purpula)

This grass is a light-purple shade. It is said to have healing properties when consumed. This has been made into medicine by an organisation known as Org186. This grass is smaller than the more-common green variant. Wanderers have reported that this grass has a soft silky feel to it. It is found all over this district.

Transportal Plant (Dionaea alienus)

This is a big plant with a big mouth. It looks like a big Venus Flytrap. Don’t worry, it isn’t dangerous. It is covered in purple hair that feels very soft. It looks similar to Level Alien World’s deadly Carnivorous Cave Plant, but the Transportal Plant is harmless unless provoked, isn’t found in caves, and when you jump in its ‘mouth’ you get sent to Level Alien World! What a good plant! Something to note is that when provoked, the Transportal Plant’s hair will become venomous and turn dark red.

Flora Found in Level Alien World

Soulflower (Allium anima)

It is a small purple flower with two or three buds growing out of the same root system. Going near a soul flower creates an unknown effect that lowers insanity levels and emits a light healing aura around it. Dubbed ‘Soul Spiritualism’ by some, wanderers have reported that they felt calm being around this flower. It is unknown if this is true, but apparently it’s ‘Soul Spiritualism’ also releases an addictive gas that makes wanderers become addicted to the flower, carrying it around everywhere and fighting just to keep it in possession. There is an an easy cure for this addiction though, and it is taking the flower away while the affected victim is unknowing (preferably asleep) and hiding the flower. The victim will wake up, and if the flower is far enough, then the victim will wake up for a bit, and then lose consciousness. Don’t worry though, this is normal. When they are conscious again, they will no longer be addicted. But the danger of this is that the person who hid the flower may become addicted. The soulflower is created when an animal or a person dies from natural causes or age and within the next day, they would be grown as like a weed, but when a month passes by they began to mature and would grow seeds which would fly off to land on an animal or human. The soulflower would only store memories of good and great things, and also when blowing at it would create a light hush sound. The soulflowers seeds store each and every memory which is why the seeds of the flower look like they would never keep coming since there is about over 4000 seeds for each and every soulflower. Soulflowers are really important plants since they can give the holder their memories to the human so that they could carry it onto other people.

Pom-Pom Tree (Dais mollis)

A common species of alien deciduous trees within areas in which are both humid and cold, pom-pom trees are trees in which can grow up to 20 to 40 meters tall, and are mainly found almost everywhere except in the hottest, coldest, highest, and most barren places. Pom-pom trees are named by their puffball branches in which produce very long leaves which makes it look like a pom-pom ball. Pom-pom trees are one of the most important plants within the level since not only they have tough fibrous leaves in which can be used to repair tools their bark is also really tough, so tough that it is as strong as titanium, light as a wallet, and is very resistant to almost any type of damage. Pom-pom trees during their life they become mature at anytime, unlike trees on earth these trees would become mature instantly as they grow, and would already start to produce wheat-like seeds in which are inedible to humans, but are important for the tree to survive, since their chances of their populations growing are increased due to their ability to become mature at any age. They also change color at certain times, from purple, magenta, and pink to light blue, dark blue, and navy in color depending on what temperature it is or how mature they are. This also indicates that they have the ability to change sexes, since the tree’s colors indicate a sex change, blue as male, to pink as female. Not only do they disperse seeds but they also need a partner to produce offspring. The ability to change sexes can increase their genetic diversity to a high in which makes them remarkable plants. They don't produce flowers, in fact, they lost the ability to grow flowers due to evolution, and interestingly enough they rely on a parasitic slug-like creature known as a “Flower-slug" named by their appearance. Flower-slugs would use and connect the fibers of the pom-pom tree and would act like it's a part of the tree, but it won't do any harm to the tree in fact would do more good than harm to the tree. Flower-slugs eat insects in which if close enough to their radius or landed on them they'll catch the insect by their tongue and would use it to gain nutrients. Although it would have all the nutrients to itself, it won't for long since the waste that they'll produce would be transported to the pom-pom tree’s fibers in which can be used to create more flowers, which release more seeds. The life of this species of tree is very interesting since they have many things that were done by research by the A.R.G, a research group in Level Alien World. The reproduction system of this tree is quite peculiar. The trees come in two different colour groups, pink & purple (female) and blue (male). They also produce seeds of the tree’s colour. Depending on the gender of the tree, the seeds release different scents which attract other seeds. The seeds (which have somewhat of a mind of their own) instinctively travel towards the scent of the opposite gender. Upon meeting, they combine. After combination, they both find an empty patch of land. Once they have found one, they fall into the ground. Upon entering the ground, both of the seeds die, but not before producing a smaller seed that is either male or female. This smaller seed grows into another tree, and the cycle continues. It is not rare to find seeds around, but be careful not to interact with them, because that disrupts their life cycle.

Fauna Found In Level Alien World

Flower-Slug (Ariolimax stercorat)

It is a slug-like creature that is found in Level Alien World and this level. Unlike other flora and fauna in The Alien District, this was found and documented in this level before Level Alien World. It has small growths on its back that resemble flowers. Like the Pom-Pom Tree, female Flower-Slugs (the more common type) are bright pink and male Flower-Slugs are a light blue. It is the thing that gives the Pom-Pom Trees its flowers. It does this by catching the small insects at the base of the tree with its long tongue. They eat them, and the slugs waste products help germinate the tree to make it flower. They help each other, because the Pom-Pom Tree can only flower with the help of the Flower-Slug, and the Flower-Slug eats half of the flowers as a food source, and leaves the rest there so the tree can make seeds and attract a seed of another gender. Due to evolution, the Pom-Pom Tree for some reason started losing the ability to generate flowers, so in turn, the Flower-Slugs evolved to help continue to food chain.

The Grasslands

Currently, not much is known. The temperature here is around body temperature. There are plants in The Grasslands that are still being documented in the moment, so if you want to see those, please be patient.

Flora

Greengrass (Zoysia japonica)

This is the grass commonly found in The Frontrooms. Wanderers say that this gives them a nostalgic feeling of the life they had before The Backrooms. The body cannot ingest greengrass.

Spore Species

There are three known species of spore.

Ground Spore (Rafflesia humus)

This is a spore that grows on the ground. It is similar in appearance of a rafflesia, except it is way smaller, is yellow, and doesn’t have a hole in the middle of it. Instead of the hole, it has a brown centre made of things called ‘spore releasers’. They release healing spores into the air around it. The ground spore produces yellow spores. They can be used as medicine, but make sure not to grab all of them, as that is their way of reproducing!

Root Spore (Rafflesia subterra)

This is a spore that can only spread via cultivation by wanderers or entities. They are easily identifiable by 2 crimson leaves sticking out of the ground. Pull them and a flower-like object emerges, connected to the leaves. When it does this, it releases its spores much like the other spores do. The root spore produces crimson spores. These spores are a delicacy in cooking, used to make many meals, but make sure not to grab all of them, as that is their way of reproducing!

Ingestion Spore (Rafflesia manducare)

This is a spore that grows on the sides of other flora, especially greengrass. They are really small, are green, and can be consumed (unlike the others, where only their spores can be consumed). Their way of reproducing is that when taken off of a plant, it triggers a reaction that releases green spores. These spores only are good for reproducing itself, they are actually poisonous and make you severely ill after consumption. But, when the ingestion spore itself is consumed, it lowers sanity levels.

Medicinal Weed (Aloe viriditas)

This plant is like the weed of this level. It is found basically everywhere, as long as it has dirt and is in The Grasslands. This weed has medicinal properties. It is mainly used as an edible to soothe a sore throat. It is similar to greengrass, except its leaves are pointy and has many jagged edges, unlike the smooth edges of the greengrass.

Barrowland

This is the only known dangerous area of this level. There have been no fauna and only one flora found at the current date. It is a very small area that appears far away between the borders of Grasslands and The Alien District. The soil there looks like ash, and has been found to be almost completely infertile. There is water, but it at boiling temperature and it is tinted red and black. It was named after the poor wanderer who found it...and he was never seen again. A supply of almond milk reward is open for anybody who finds them.

Flora

Hell's Hair (Zoysia infernum)

This is a grass that only grows in clumps of three or four. It is red in colour and is very spicy, and can grow in the ashy infertile soil of the Barrowland. Not much else is known about this plant.

lonies & Outposts

There are currently 3 colonies/outposts.

M.E.G. Research-186

There is a minor M.E.G. team just for this level that launched March 21st 2022. Currently they are few in number but they are growing, because people do like researching safe levels compared to dangerous ones! The other colony is researching the plants, but the M.E.G. are researching the entities. They have only started very recently so they haven’t finished any reports yet.

Org186

They are the other research group for this level that are researching the flora. They formed about a week before the M.E.G. group.

Ciantifiko

This is the research group that is given the information of flora and fauna (not entities) and runs tests. This is also the group that gives names known to the group as ‘scientific names’. To create these names, the group normally uses the genus of the flora/fauna as the first word and a classifying feature translated into Latin as the second one. For example, the scientific name of purplegrass is the genus of lawngrass and the word purple translated into Latin. So, its scientific name is Zoysia purpula. Keep in mind that the first word in a scientific name is always capitalised, unlike the second word. They are always open to edits to this page with scientific words, but they only accept the scientific name if the definition of the name is given on the edit field ‘Describe what you changed’.

Entrances & Exits

Entrances

You can jump in a Transportal Plant in The Alien District to be transported to Level Alien World in the middle of a patch of soulflowers.

Exits

You might find a patch of soulflowers in Level Alien World. In here, there is a small portal. Jump through it to be transported next to a Transportal Plant in this level.
