Entity Hazard: Class 5
》Entity Number: 29

Description

The Malveillants (Translation: Malicious ones) are current and former Natives of Level -777. They are intelligent and can effectively communicate with humans speaking fluent English and French. Unlike docile members of their tribe, these beasts display malicious, sadistic, demented, and psychopathic tendencies. They are excellent in lulling humans into a false sense of security as they are charming and confident. They also can mimic behaviors of empathy, sympathy, compassion, cooperation, and patience. It also does not help that some wanderers have heard of the Natives and do not realizing a percentage of them can be wick.

An encounter with a Malveillant, even in Level -777, is rare as they make up 1.3% of the Native population of over 250,000 entities. They also require an open world or a living space that accommodates their size to attack wanderers. In any case, there are three types: Dormeurs éthérés, L'abandonné dement and Animaux domestiques.

Dormeurs éthérés

If you encounter a Malveillant in Level -777 known as Dormeurs éthérés (Translation: Ethereal Sleepers) you would be none the wiser as they try to avoid detection by mimicking the pleasant demeanors of other tribe members. Some Malveillants have moments where their drop the façade but it is often not obvious that they have. Wanderers should stay clear of any Natives who put them in danger or try to alienate them from the group. These behaviors are clear red flags as Natives tend to be protective of wanderers and are very social creatures. Wanderers should alert others if Natives and other wanderers disappear around these peculiar Natives. Other tribe members are hellbent on finding them and removing them from the collective by ritual sacrifice to The Void.

L'abandonné dement and Animaux domestiques

Malveillants can escape eternal damnation in The Void by sacrificing themselves to it. It is unknown how self-sacrifice to The Void aids the Malveillant in bypassing this punishment. Native Mystics and Reapers explains that you must slit the throat to bind the Malveillant to The Void. It is not clear how slitting the throat of a Malveillant binds them to The Void. What is known is that the Malveillants are stabbing themselves elsewhere to stay unbonded to The Void. In any case, they are sought out and hunted down to prevent them from doing this. When they escape punishment, they either become L'abandonné dement (Translation: The Forsaken Demented) or Animaux domestique (Translation: Pet).

L'abandonné dement are Malveillants that dwell in Level -222. They have gone completely insane and are often found alone talking to themselves or the voices in their heads. They take pleasure in self-mutilation. They will attack and kill other Malveillants. They will hunt and kill any wanderers they can steal from the Reaping Willows or Animaux domestiques. Some will purposely consume boiled Cashew Water to induce a mentally deteriorating condition cited in Level -777 called La folie des noix de cajou (Translation: Cashew Madness). Why this is done cannot be confirmed.

Animaux domestiques are Malveillants that are best described as charming, pampered sociopaths. They can be distinguished from other Malveillants as they sport scarlet and spiked collars with bells on them. They dwell in Level -404 and another undisclosed location. Level -511 is cited here because they bring victims to this level. These beasts were recruited from Level -222 by the game show host of Escape Rooms: Forget Me not! Kill Streak Kim to serve as proxies. Kim adores them. While they are obedient, they are not mindlessly beast just taking orders. They are just as sick and twisted as Kim and, in some cases, worse. Kim is aware that these creatures could turn on them at any moment, but that makes taming them even more fun. Kim likes the rush of handling, taming, playing with, and owning something that can kill them. It is unknown how many Animaux domestiques are there. There are reports that 37 patrol Level -222 looking for victims, feeding the "trees" and, seeking recruits. Out of that 37, five of them are kept in Level -404.

General Behaviors

The Malveillants are manipulative, compulsive lairs. While they can be impulsive, they are patient enough to wait for the right moment to betray, take advantage of or kill their target. The Malveillant is not capable of remorse or empathy but can mimic those behaviors. The Animaux domestique is the most dangerous as they are charming, approachable, and well-spoken resulting in wanderers letting their guard down.

Entity attack methods

Malveillants are thrill killers. They take pleasure in inflicting as much pain and suffering onto their victims as possible. They like to toy with their prey mentally and emotionally to break them down before implementing a slow execution. Below is a list of their attack methods...

  • Cognitive/Mental attacks: Psychological and emotional abuse such as compulsive lying, manipulation, deception, betrayal, gaslighting, deflection, humiliation, making threats, guilt-tripping, isolation, etc. Some Malveillant mystics reportedly have psychic abilities such as telekinesis, telepathy, hypnosis, remote viewing, teleportation, etc.
  • Physical attacks: stalking, ambush, and dismemberment.

Methods of surviving the entity

It is strongly recommended that you run away, hide and avoid them as conventional weapons cannot hurt them.

Biology

The Malveillant is described as a winged, humanoid, goblin-like creature that is 2 to 3 times the size of your average adult male human. Some of the Animaux domestiques might be missing one or both wings. Kim will sometimes order the removal of their wing(s) to make it easier for them to be tamed or as a form of punishment. Some Malveillants will demonstrate their loyalty to Kim by removing one of their wings. Amara featured in Level -222 is one such Malveillant who did this.

Discovery

The Native Elders of Level -777 will tell wanderers that the Malveillant has always existed amongst their people. They do not know why. Wanderers who venture into the Ethereal Grounds of Level -777 are informed of their presence. The first report of a wanderer being killed by a Malveillant in the Ethereal Grounds of Level -777 happened on November 12, 20xx. The first sightings of the Malveillants outside of Level -777 occurred on January 24, 20xx.
