=Castolossus=
 My mind was splintered as it was flooded with memories never made. Each fragment shows a loved one, performing on a stage I would never recognize. They all felt so real. They made me long for their presence, but they were out of reach. I stumbled into the throne room where I was ambushed by an army of the dead. But those fragments. Those false memories. The people I knew, the people I cared about, instead dragged those raggedy corpses to the ground. That final rest which was always intended for me. I looked up and saw it. Mechanical gears and belts whirring and twirling. It had two heads, robust and metallic. Its hands were like cables of synthetic rope. It twisted and coiled into meaningful shapes. It would not speak, but I understood everything it was saying.

==Description==
Castolossus, a powerful being, has been rumored to exist but recently verified by one single survivor. This entity exclusively resides on Level 2.71, a level only rumored at one point. (Please note that this information is considered restricted as we do not want anyone to try to find this level or interact with this powerful entity.) We've determined this entity to be extremely lethal as we have only one instance on record in which someone has survived an encounter with this entity, despite having numerous instances of wanderers exploring Level 2.71. 
Based on text found on ruins and artifacts as well as conversations with The King of Normality, it is believed that Castolossus can weave and alter timelines. It is uncertain how this entity has this ability or what exactly the implications of this ability are, but it is theorized that Castolossus can see any and every instance of current events simultaneously and can act accordingly in such a way that benefits itself most. It is unsure how far this perception can reach, but we believe that Castolossus can see across the entire Backrooms including any timeline variation. 
The Cult of 2.71 preaches that this entity is a god and can alter the current reality by setting the timeline as it sees fit. The cultists do not visit their god in its throne room, for if they do, they will be swarmed by corpses and dragged to the ground where they are suffocated to death. If they survive that encounter, they must face Castolossus in combat, which is a sure death sentence. Given that this entity can see all instances of any event, it is deemed impossible to hide and evade attacks from this entity. 
 I felt a weight across my chest as my body began to shrivel and my bones began to quake. I no longer had the strength to stand, and I had to kneel. My knees then crumbled beneath my weight and finally collapsed. I looked at my hands, aged and shriveled. What sort of powers did this god have over me? I looked up to its mechanized heads and pleaded for a quick death. It had not a mouth to speak, but rather the shapes of its hand brought forth meaning to my mind. "Purpose I have for you yet. I have not the time nor patience for mortals such as you. Bring this message to your precious organization. Leave me be or perish."

==Appearance and Biology==
There has only ever been one wanderer to survive an encounter with Castolossus. This wanderer wishes to remain anonymous. They described the entity as sitting upon a golden throne. This entity appeared to be mechanical as it was made from cables, cogs, gears, and belts. The wanderer described the entity as having two metallic heads without mouths and glowing purple eyes. The entity has two arms with abnormally elongated fingers that operate like snakes. Coiled within one of these finger-like appendages is a long staff with a green, glowing jewel at the top. Cultists call this staff the "Time Staff" and it is believed to be the source of Castolossus's power. 
It is uncertain whether or not this entity has any sort of biological components or rather if it is entirely mechanical. It is rumored that the entity can shoot projectiles out of its tube-like fingers and stretch its appendages across the entire throne room to grasp and shock intruders. Since there has only been one official record of someone sighting this entity, this information is mostly speculation and mythical. 
==Theories==
The King of Normality
The Double-Headed Puppet Theory
Timeline Theory
Amalgamation Theory
Gary aka The Wanderer
It is believed by some that Castolossus has a close, personal relationship with The King of Normality. It is theorized that they often talk about timelines and current events taking place in the Backrooms as well as potential events that could have been if the timelines were altered to favor such events. The King of Normality denies ever interacting with Castolossus and even denies the entire existence of this entity. Due to the King's deceptive nature and general distrust of humans, people speculate that the King of Normality and Castolossus may be plotting something sinister.
Since Castolossus is believed to be a mechanical entity, some theorize that the entity is entirely controlled by The King of Normality. There is not much evidence to support this theory other than our single record of its appearance and the rumored relationship this entity has with The King of Normality. 
Based off of artifacts depicting Castolossus, some believe that the entity itself is the amalgamation of all timelines manifested, rather it is a process instead of an entity. Timelines can create and destroy themselves using Castolossus as a medium and node for such events. This theory is supported by the sudden loss or shift of data entries that often occur in the Backrooms Database.
Some believe that Castolossus is an amalgamation or combination of multiple entities blended and morphed into this mechanical being. The idea is that they have a collective conscience and intelligence to have time-altering abilities. As of now, there is no evidence to support this theory. 
A few texts have hinted at the possibility that Castolossus and The Wanderer A.K.A. Gary, often interact. These entities will argue, banter, and bicker. The text insinuates that these two entities despise each other entirely.
My vision darkened. The message that I had witnessed, continually repeated as though it were inscribed on the lobes of my brain. I could feel dark liquid flowing through my veins as false memories continued to plague me, driving me mad. I thought about those purple eyes, those deadly long fingers. This being was malevolent, this I was sure of. Somehow though, I was spared, with the sole purpose of spreading fear. Perhaps once I deliver this message, I can finally end this storm plaguing my thoughts. Maybe then will this colossal metal beast allow me to eternally rest.
