Clumps

==Description==
Clumps are hostile entities that resemble massive clumps of human limbs that flail about and extend in every direction. They are known to inhabit vents, cabinets, and other tight spaces. These entities are infamous for their uncanny level of intelligence when it comes to ambushing and preying on Wanderers.
These entities spend most of their time tucked away in tight spaces like closets, drains, pipes, chimneys, and most commonly, vents. Generally, the only part of a Clump that is seen by a Wanderer consists of its frontal arms, which they allow to hang freely and dangle from within their hunting space, a behavior theorized to serve as a form of "bait" to get Wanderers to approach them. While occasionally an arm will flex or a hand will clench, these arms are generally immobile when no Wanderers are present.
==Behavior==
When not in hiding, Clumps will take great care to avoid all contact with other entities or humans and remain mostly sedentary while they wait for prey to approach them. However after extended periods without food, these Clumps have been known to migrate to other Levels of the Backrooms, moving forward by propelling themselves with their arms at speeds of up to 20 mph, making them relatively fast in comparison to other entities, though they rarely display this ability. 
Instead of chasing after prey, Clumps prefer to lay motionless in wait for Wanderers to come within their vicinity. Once they sense a Wanderer is close by, Clumps will begin to perform several movements to entice them into approaching it. These movements may include waving, clapping, snapping, pounding on the walls, communicating in sign language, and other sorts of hand gestures. Do not be fooled, as going anywhere near a Clump is likely to swiftly end in your demise. If you see a Clump, slowly walk in the other direction without being noticed (in some severe cases, you may need to run), also, keep your eye on the Clump to make sure that it doesn't do anything, and try not to make any noise while backing away, in general, you must stay at least 8 or more feet away from it otherwise you could be grabbed in and receive your terrifying fate.
==Biology==
Clumps measure, on average, 6 ft in diameter and can fit in spaces as small as 2 ft by contorting their limbs to fit within these tight spaces. The arms of a Clump vary in skin color, with some even bearing injuries or blemishes on the skin.
Clumps are also known to possess a single arm which can extend well over 20 ft in length, and is surprisingly strong despite its slenderness. It has been recorded to lift objects weighing up to 800 lbs. This arm is used to catch prey and grip them tightly before pulling them past its many arms and absorbing them into its body. How this is accomplished remains unknown, but due to the bloodcurdling sounds of your bones being crushed, it is believed this process is extremely painful.
==Discovery==
A sighting of a Clump was first reported anonymously to the M.E.G. Database on March 2nd, 2008, though at the time the Entity had been well known across several other groups. Due to their secretive nature, likely, they have also existed in The Backrooms for a very long time.
