Pedipulator

__NOTOC__
==Description==
The Backrooms Pedipulator is quite similar to General Electric's Pedipulator, which was manufactured during the Frontrooms Vietnam War. The Pedipulator is a big, 30-foot machine. It has 25-foot legs, 30-foot arms, and a box-like structure on top. One arm is claw-like, and the other is knife-like. The pedipulator spends much of its time on levels with forested areas, where it cuts trees. When it senses an entity or wanderer, it normally ignores it.
Pedipulators can grow quite small, with the smallest example measuring 8 feet tall and the largest measuring 50 feet tall. The larger the pedipulator, the more red its predominant color will be. Smaller specimens are more Vantablack, while taller ones are redder in hue. These larger species typically use a kitchen knife on the trees. All they do is shred wood for fuel. Pedipulators occasionally bleed a yellow, wax-like substance from their mechanical parts. This yellow wax-like material is highly combustible.
== Behaviors ==
If the entity or wanderer makes it feel threatened, it will pursue them at a speed of 18 mph. If it captures this creature, it will use the knife-like structure to rip the entity or wanderer apart. Once this is completed, it will resume chopping trees. This monster alone has driven some of the trees in the backrooms extinct. If it is attacked, screamed at, or simply not given enough room, the pedipulator will chase it. Under no circumstances should you approach this entity, as they will almost always outrun you.
Sometimes the entity will shove their knives or claws into their mechanical parts that are leaking the substance. They do this to get a better grip on not only the trees they cut but also what they grab. Sometimes they will sit down on the ground in a sleep-like state. In this state, they retract their arms and legs inside and stop their grinders. After this, they will simply go to sleep. If a sentient thing threatens it, it will show its knife arm to the creature. If this creature still threatens it, it will try to use its arms to chase it off and/or kill it.
If the trees in the level is limited, they will go into a power-off mode where they lay dormant in holes until more grow. Some pedipulators will result to dirt as a means of power by pulling in their legs and grinding the ground. While the dirt isn't as efficient, it will still do this if it can't find any trees. So it should be noted to not approach any holes in levels with trees. After around 5 years of digging, they will come up and out of the ground to look for more trees. If there are still none, they will simply go back to digging. If there are a good enough number of trees, they will start to repeat the cycle.
If the pedipulator is dirty, it will produce the yellow, wax-like substance to clean themselves using their claw and knife to scrape it and smear it on the metal of it. The pedipulator can sometimes have its shredder lodged in something. They will use their knife to try and hit it out, but if they slip, they could end up grinding their knife, which is their only real defense. While the knife and, to a lesser extent, the arm will not be lost. It can be very dull and not be able to cut down trees. If it is badly damaged, it will drill into the ground and begin to feast on dirt instead.
One way this entity will attack is to simply stomp on the target. The pedipulator can crush 4000 pounds per square inch. This is twice the amount of an American alligator's bite. This stomp can not only immobilize larger things but can also completely decimate smaller things. Another way of attacking is to simply sit; because of the grinder on the bottom, it will shred anything it can, including all wanderers. Their usual method is to simply use their knife. This arm can change 90 degrees in angle in 30 milliseconds. Which makes it able to do a full circle in 120 milliseconds. This knife is also usually very sharp and can slice through most things with ease.
While surviving this entity is difficult it can be done. One way by surviving is to simply avoid it and not mess with it. Simply staying away from it is to not interact with it. No matter what you think, if you think you can give it a tree and it will help you, you are sadly wrong. It will take the tree and then cut you up. It will not help you in any way shape or form, if it does, it is always accidental.
Another is to run away the opposite direction if it gives chase. The pedipulator does not want to waste energy which is why they do so little things to entities attacking it while sleeping. If you make yourself not a threat and run away from it, it will immediately turn around and go back to chopping down trees or drilling dirt.
==Biology==
Pedipulators will usually stay alone. However, it is not impossible for them to be in a group of 2–10. These groups usually contain smaller and less aggressive ones. When a pedipulator has alot of trees around but is digging in the ground. It has a baby; they make babies by using their wax substance to self-create themselves. No one knows how this substance turns into another pedipulator or why they would have children.
Pedipulators disrupt ecosystems on many levels. Pedipulators can be killed; they are hunted down by the M.E.G. and other large groups. While they are not killed by using your regular weapons like guns and machinery but instead throwing easily lodge-able things into the grinder, Throwing things like steel, shaped in the way of grinders. They can easily stop it from getting power, and it will shut down and erode over time.
==Discovery==
This entity was discovered at a now-forgotten level. It is said that the person who encountered it chopped them up into pieces. It is now known that they don't reside on specific levels and simply live on levels with trees.
