Level 947 is the 948th level of the Backrooms. Its entities make Level 947 a peculiar level, as most of these entities are known to speak with their shoulders.
Level 947 is a large cosmological spheroid that is said to be the size of The Frontrooms' "Observable Universe". When walking along the surface, many Wanderers have described it having a flesh-like quality, while others reported seeing the ground writhe, while hearing distant groans. This level can cause insanity rather quickly, as the only other sight to behold in this Level is the perfect black sky. When stared into long enough, many have reported seeing visions of various things being consumed or destroyed in both comprehensible and incomprehensible ways. These including eating, burning, diffusing, objects and people falling through crevasses, vaporization, dismemberment, and spaghettification. Many have reported various entities "no-clipping" out of the ground, especially after the sky-induced visual anomalies. The air within Level 947 has been described as "more viscous than tar."
Entities

Entities in Level 947 are numerous in variety, but small in number. They all have a similar quality, trypophobial holes in specific parts of their body, most commonly, their shoulders. Their observed use is communication, as they use tendril like limbs within the holes to vibrate the atmosphere and create "sound". These creatures collectively have been nicknamed "The Tendriled". They will emerge from the writhing ground as if they are digging, and when they reach the surface, they do not move for several days. They are mostly friendly to Wanderers, besides if they're asked about what the place exactly is. From those who've observed such encounters, those who ask are usually thrown off the surface into the infinite blackness. When not provoked, they speak of a dead god, and random historical events assumably pertaining to said god. The god ate until it couldn't. Its meal can't be shared.
Colonies and Outposts
There is only one actual human colony, and one technical colony within Level 947.
The Tendriled
Do not trade.
Have a cataloged 417 members, with many more unseen.
Friendly until provoked, but can be "bashful", which can sometimes lead to accidental death.
Do not have an outpost or colony, they are spread out, and only grouped because of their similar ideals.
Will not reveal the corpse. Can't, Won't. Will not share. They miss Mother.
The Backroom Colonists
Willing to trade.
Have 50 people stationed at the outpost.
Friendly, will help people and allow them to join.
Notable communication: Log 147.
Entrances and Exits
Entrances
It is moderately difficult to reach this Level. They don't share.
Can be reached at any level divisible by 47 by muttering the phrase "Id, Akur, Sumn".
You have a slight chance to fall to this level randomly if you have a large hole in your torso in a dark place in Level 8, Level 29, and Level 973.
When thrown up into the blackness, Wanderers will pass out and wake up in any Levels that are multiples of 47. If reached via the prompt at The End, you will be sent to the Level 150 elevator to go into Level 147, only when the elevator is already in motion.
If a fresh circular wound is opened up in the torso, the Tendriled will allow you to go to Level 8, Level 29, or Level 973.
Carrying Level 0 mold within Level 947 allows you to go to Level 11, but only via awakening in the impossible stairwells.
Staying calm and happy in this level for a long peroid of time will let you enter Level 948.
