Refuse

==Description==
Refuse refers to entities within the Backrooms that resemble dark, humanoid figures seemingly frozen in a grieving pose. They do not move at all and, from afar, appear to resemble statues or mannequins. These entities exhibit highly volatile behaviors and can cause deadly bursts of energy capable of disabling all electric devices within a 2-mile radius. As such, it is highly recommended that wanderers stay away from these entities at all costs.
==Behavior==
The Refuse is normally a docile creature, usually choosing to remain in a fixed location for hours at a time. During this state, it will not produce any noise, and will only enter an active state when it senses a wanderer approaching. In this state, it will create haunting sound of crying that can only be heard by the wanderer approaching them. The Refuse will also create heavy vibrations around them to deter the wanderer from getting closer. If the wanderer chooses to ignore it and continue approaching the entity, however, it will enter a volatile state, where it can explode in a violent release of energy. The explosion is able to heat the air around the Refuse rapidly, up to almost 550°C, making it extremely deadly. Despite this, the explosion does not seem to kill the entity entirely. However, it is crucial to note that this explosion will overheat all electronics within a 2-mile radius, causing them to become defective. (This also includes fluorescent lights, meaning that an explosion caused by a Refuse can cause blackouts in certain levels that could last up to 2 months.) Due to this, any wanderers that find themselves in an encounter with a Refuse are urged to leave its vicinity immediately.
Aside from their interactions with wanderers, not much else is known about Refuses. Certain entities, like Smilers and Anethikas, have been shown to behave differently around a Refuse, and some entities even avoid being near one entirely. However, there's no concrete evidence showing that other entities in the Backrooms acknowledge the existence of Refuses, and the behaviors of other entities around a Refuse remain unexplained.
==Biology==
The biological makeup of Refuses is highly speculative due to the volatile nature of the entity. Many wanderers have theorized that Refuses are composed of dust and ash found naturally in the Backrooms, which explains why they do not die upon imploding. Another popular theory states that Refuses are remnants of the mind of a person who has died within the Backrooms, consisting of only the darkest parts. These remnants are then given physical bodies in the form of Refuses. Even with these theories, it is still important to remember that they are only speculations, and often lack crucial evidence to support their claims. Therefore, all information regarding the biology of Refuses is to be heavily scrutinized before being taken as factual.
==Discovery==
It is unknown when Refuses were first discovered in the Backrooms, as there have been many unconfirmed reports and sightings of them dating all the way back to the 1980s, and descriptions of entities similar to them have been around even longer than that. But the first ever confirmed discovery of a Refuse was on July 12th of 2005, when M.E.G. operatives were called to investigate a mysterious figure that had appeared in the middle of a wanderer outpost on Level 4. Not long after this, a massive explosion would occur in outpost, prompting the M.E.G. to investigate the causes of the incident and, by extension, the mysterious figure itself.
