The Beast in its lair.

The Beast of Level 5 is an entity that inhabits Level 5. It is a tall creature with a human body and the head of a cephalopod. It is believed to be hostile, with camouflage abilities similar to a cuttlefish.

Description

The Beast of Level 5 is something only mentioned by those who have lost all sanity while trapped on Level 5. It appears to be hostile but is not shown to attack on sight, instead slowly toying with their victims until they go insane. It has been described as a tall and scaly creature wearing a suit and tie, as well as having humanoid body with the head of a cephalopod, with tentacles around its mouth. Those who are reaching the end of their sanity claim it has camouflage abilities, and if you look closely and pay attention, you can see its glowing eyes watching you from the wallpaper pattern. Some people doubt it exists, calling it off as just being an illusion of this floor's cobwebs, flickering lights, and ornate wallpaper.

People believe that the beast uses the fifth floor as a web of sorts, carefully filling it with furniture and items to make it easier for him to camouflage and stalk his prey. This is evident in the amount of items on this floor that almost look like they have eyes. These include the numerous statues, paintings, busts, carpet and even wallpaper patterns. Some believe The Beast is somehow connected to the Deathmoths as they also have the eye pattern it does.

A recent theory states that The Beast was once a human man from sometime around the 1920s, explaining Level 5’s furnishings and the creature’s outfit. They No-Clipped on Halloween while wearing a squid mask and somehow merged with it in the process of falling into the backrooms. The theory also states he has resorted to killing people or driving them insane on this floor to keep himself entertained.
