Entity 515, also known as The Paintlers are negative level exclusive entities, these entities are usually horrifying in nature due to empty sockets and missing parts, despite this, Paintlers are very passive. A Paintler will usually be seen painting pictures, these pictures are known to be "Calming", some officials claim they can be used to regain sanity, but this is unknown as of now. If a Paintler sees a human, it will usually go up to it and try to sell their art, they will also give a strange packet. This packet contains a paint like substance, this works like normal paint with the exception of being edible, this object is also known as Edible Paint. On lower levels, they will try to kill you using their equipment, the packets also become inedible on levels below Level -90 or on positive levels.
Species
Normal
Explained in description.
Hostile
A hostile Paintler will spawn on Levels below Level -90, roughly 600 hostiles exists as of 1/14/21. These types usually look a LOT more disturbing, sometimes with blood on them, another one of their attributes are claw like hands. These entities will use these hands and their painting equipment to kill any human within a 60 foot radius. They also give a copy of Edible Paint, mixed with toxic amounts of cyanide.
Mutated
A mutated Paintler spawns on levels under Level -999 with a 1/256,703. Mutated Paintlers look like normal Paintlers but have a few key differences such as being taller (11 feet on average), having more extreme deformities (loss of limbs, limbs in places they shouldn't be in), and that they give off a weird green goop. Other than that, they act like Normal Paintlers.
Trivia
These entities are a rapidly growing species. by a minute passing, they’ll be at least 10,000 spawned or birthed into the backrooms.
This is one of the only entities to vary on personality due to ordinal level placement.
Roughly 7800 Paintlers exist as of 1/14/21.

Giving them BackDollars are extremely unadvised, it is very toxic towards these entities. They’ll not die, but get extremely sick. Pay using Objects.
They are remarked as one of all entities to have a calming affect on their products and presence.
Do’s and Don’ts
Do #1
Purchasing A Paintlers Painting If You Have Low Sanity
Since a Paintlers paintings can likely increase sanity due to a "Calming" feeling, purchasing one and keeping it on you is basically infinite and portable almond water, also, if you have too much money, buy some.
Do #2
Not Trusting Paintlers From Below Level -90
Level -90 is the turning point for a Paintler, any Paintlers below Level -90 are hostile and WILL attempt to kill you, Paintlers can't leave the level they originate from.
Don’t #1
Destroy A Paintler’s Painting
Harming a Paintlers picture will not only disappoint the Paintler, but can also have mental effects on your mind, such as feelings of guilt and regret. This lowers your sanity even more.
