Entity Number: 11
Habitat: Majority
Sixarms are six armed entities that can be encountered throughout many Levels of the backrooms. They are sometimes considered to be an extremely hostile variant of the Faceling, though this has been contested, as they are only vaguely humanoid in appearance.
Description
Sixarms have been described as only vaguely humanoid creatures; shambling masses of arms and legs that seem to end in insect like appendages, which they use to impale their victims multiple times until they are subdued. Despite being called Sixarms, the number of limbs these entities have been documented possessing can range anywhere from 6-11 arms, though the exact limit has yet to be determined. The heads of the Sixarms have been described as completely round and featureless, as well as uncannily smaller than a human head.
Behavior
Sixarms are infamous for their tendency to hide within dark, cramped spaces and behind locked doors. They have been known to wait for hours or even days within these spaces, remaining nearly entirely motionless until stumbled upon by some unwitting wanderer, at which point they will spring into action and impale you with their multiple limbs until you are incapacitated.
Once their prey has been subdued the Sixarm will use its remaining limbs to tear a hole into the nearest wall and crawl inside it, dragging you along with it. These tears are known to close only seconds after the Sixarm has passed through it, making retrieval of victims impossible past this point, though it is speculated that these holes may serve are temporary portals to other levels of the Backrooms.
Discovery
Sixarms were considered for a long time to be just a myth within the Backrooms, their existence discounted due to the hallucinatory effects the Backrooms tend to have on the beleaguered minds of those trapped within it. It wasn't until 2016 when a team of wanderers managed to document the behavior of a Sixarm living within the corridors of Level 143 that the existence of the creature was recognized by the larger community.
