Sidesteps

==Description==
Sidesteps are entities in the Backrooms that reside on many levels. They appear to be made out of a thick, goo-like substances that can become webby upon feeling threatened. Sidesteps are usually very introverted, and shy towards wanderers, slinking behind corners on sight.
Sidesteps appear to be able to change shape and size at will, and use this ability to traverse narrow spaces such as in Level 0. They are also in-humanly agile, and can easily dodge attacks aimed at a Sidestep while it is in its physical manifestation
==Behavior==
Sidesteps are very simple entities, due to the fact that they simply wander around levels aimlessly. Sidesteps are of no threat to wanderers unless cornered by one. Otherwise, they will simply shelter out of sight if they spot or are spotted by a wanderer. Sidesteps appear to be knowledgeable about no-clipping, as this is their primary mode of transport throughout levels. It is unknown wether or not the entities know how to get to certain levels, or simply not clip to leave one level or enter another.
Sidesteps are not completely safe entities, however. If a wanderer decides to provoke and corner a Sidestep, it will convert to its physical form. The physical form manifests as a white blob made out of a web-like substance, which can also manipulate shape. It will grow rows of sharp teeth as well as arms topped with heavily clawed hands. The Sidestep also grows a tail like appendage that attached to the entities secondary mass on the ground. The secondary mass is also expansive and corrosive, flooding the entire room in an attempt to kill the wanderer. A Sidestep also has increased speed in its physical form, and is nearly impossible to run from. Its primary mode of attack in this mode is simply ripping apart their victims or melting their flesh off their skeleton with the corrosive mass. Only a handful of survivors have managed to escape from a Sidestep in its physical form. All wanderers were severely wounded, however, and required extensive medical care.
A simple way to survive A Sidestep is to avoid it. If you leave a Sidestep unprovoked it will be completely neutral to you. However upon triggering a physical form Sidestep, your best bet is to run as fast and as far as you possibly can. This is not a guaranteed method of survival and you will likely perish upon provoking A Sidestep.
==Biology==
Sidesteps consist of a non corrosive substance that is unknown to wanderers. It has been simply dubbed as Substance S by M.E.G. The substance appears to be bioluminescent, as it has an unnaturally bright tint to it, and glows in dark levels. Sidesteps have no set height or length, due to their shape shifting properties. However, the physical form is estimated to be around 6 inches wide and 5-6 feet tall when originally manifested.
As stated, Sidesteps are bioluminescent. It is unknown as to wether on not this has a use, since it has no recorded dietary routines. They also appear to be somewhat intelligent, as it knows when a wanderer is threatening it. It also has knowledge of no-clipping and using exits to transport to their levels. This is presumed to be simply due to exploration and curiosity rather than due to hunting or consumption.
==Discovery==
It is unknown who discovered this entity, as there are no traces of it ever being mention in any M.E.G logs; however it is assumed that due to their natural curiosity and tendency to wander cross-level, they were discovered in Level 0. The oldest mention of the Sidestep in M.E.G. data logs was when a member documented a "...weird looking shy white blob wandering around level 0." Several members after that began seeing them, so it is presumed that that is when they were discovered. The entry was several years old, but had no specific date recorded on it, so the exact discovery date still remains unknown.
