Entity Number: 212
Habitat: Level 18
Threat Level: Class 1
Description:
Entity 212, nicknamed "WOOOM", are passive / semi hazardous entities that resemble a fat, rainbow axolotl plush in fresh condition. They are rare and highly elusive, with only 10 confirmed sightings across Level 18, Level 25, and Level 998. It is theorized, however, that WOOOMs could inhabit levels that are not yet completely explored.
Behaviors:
WOOOMs have limited mobility, so they use a shockwave process for faster traveling. The following process consists of this, The entity compresses its body similarly to a person squeezing an accordion. This action compresses mass around itself in a 1-meter radius, making objects or air packed tightly together. Once it completes the process, it will then release the compressed matter, causing a shockwave of about 3 meters in radius, creating a sound which gives it its nickname (WOOOM). This then makes a WOOOM blast itself with the shockwave for faster traveling. Although the shockwave is not lethal, it can cause symptoms of headache and sore muscles that lasts for 5 to 10 minutes if you’re too close to the shockwave buildup. Due to their more peaceful nature, they tend to do fewer shockwaves near humans. It's theorized that WOOOMs use this passive behavior to attract humans into carrying them as a method of transportation due to the slowness of a shockwave buildup, but that Is not confirmed or denied yet . As of now, no one truly knows what they want from humans or what their goals are in the Backrooms as there have been no reports of intentional malicious actions performed by these entities.
Biology:
WOOOMs have many strange properties, for example, they are not affected by gravity, they are indestructible, and they are extremely light. WOOOMs are believed to be sentient, and they can view their surroundings clearly. However, they are believed to be deaf. WOOOMs aren't also believed to be organic as they have not been reported to have the need to eat or drink. Despite their limited mobility, they can move their limbs.
Discoveries
The following logs / notes are each of WOOOM's first discoveries in Level 18.
First discovery report:
<Begin Log Level 18>
Unknown Wanderer: Reporter
M.E.G.: Operator
M.E.G.: Hello, and how I can assist you.
Unknown Wanderer: I found a floating plushie in Level 18.
M.E.G.: Please be more elaborate.
Unknown Wanderer: It's a floating plushie that looks like an axolotl that is rainbow-colored.
M.E.G.: What is it doing?
Unknown Wanderer: It's just floating on top of the couch.
M.E.G.: Okay, stay right where you are, and officers are on their way.
Unknown Wanderer: What is this thing?
M.E.G.: This could be an undocumented entity.
Unknown Wanderer: It looks like it's squeezing itself slowly.
M.E.G.: Is it looking at you?
Unknown Wanderer: No, but should I step back?
M.E.G.: It's highly recommended you do.
A WOOOM sound followed by the sound of the wanderer yelling in pain.
M.E.G.: Hello?
Unknown Wanderer: …
15 minutes passed as the officers arrived to see Entity 212 laying on a green plushie shaking as the entity finally notices the wanderer is sitting on a chair, recovering from the shockwave. It was as if the entity didn't notice him.
This then starts the documenting on Entity 212.

Do's and Don'ts:
Do:
Stay 3 meters away from it as it's about to build up a shockwave (you have enough time to notice).
Make your presence known to a WOOOM.
If you're lucky enough to encounter one during a hostile entity situation. Throw it at the hostile entity when it's about to start a shockwave. This can stun it and you can quickly get away. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Don't:
Stay right next to the entity while it's building a shockwave.
Attack it.
