__NOTOC__"I never saw it coming - said after being attacked by a Filing Cabinet and being badly injured. "
==Description==
Filing cabinets are hostile entities that manifest predominantly in level 1 that appear to be a moving filing cabinet, It is very rare to encounter one.

In a few days, another wanderer discovered a 2 COMPARTMENT Filing cabinet. As news about the entity spread, it became apparent that limited research had been conducted, and the varying number of compartments determined the entity's level of danger. Initially unaware of this distinction, the second wanderer encountered a 2 COMPARTMENT Filing cabinet, eventually realizing its passive nature due to its sluggish movement. Opening the compartment, the wanderer found supplies and placed a bottle of almond water inside to thank the entity, Surprisingly, the entity began following the wanderer, reinforcing the realization of its passive demeanor.

===The following tabbers show the abilities of distinct Filing Cabinets===
<tabber>
|-|2 COMPARTMENT=
These represent the most slow and feeble incarnations of Filing Cabinets. Their passive nature stems from their vulnerability, as their reduced speed renders them easily outpaced. Despite their passive disposition, they harbor work supplies within their compartments. Remarkably, these entities can be tamed by placing almond water into their compartments.

|-|3 COMPARTMENT=
The 3-compartment variant of Filing Cabinets constitutes a slower and weaker iteration. Exhibiting a propensity for swift evasion, these filing cabinets rank as the most common type and are relatively easy to avoid.
|-|4 COMPARTMENT=
Filing Cabinets with four compartments display noteworthy speed, yet their pursuit is outrunnable. These entities, possessing enhanced intelligence compared to their 3-compartment counterparts, prove more challenging to elude.
|-|5 COMPARTMENT=
The speed of these Filing Cabinets surpasses their counterparts. While out runnable by humans, their likelihood of noclipping into other levels is diminished. Displaying heightened intelligence compared to 4 COMPARTMENT Filing Cabinets, losing them proves considerably more challenging, often resulting in depletion of one's energy reserves.
|-|6 COMPARTMENT=
Encountering a 6 COMPARTMENT Filing Cabinet equates to a precarious situation, necessitating exceptional speed for survival. Although potential for evasion exists, these entities lack astuteness. Redirecting them in an erroneous direction ensures safety; however, survival without exceptional speed remains improbable, the 2 COMPARTMENT Filing cabinets can be used for storing items but is pretty much of a handful mainly because they are really slow.
