Pest

Pest is an NPC that can be found in-game, and will enter the elevator.If on a mobile device, click here to see all of Pest's dialogue. 
==Appearance==
Pest has a blocky build, mainly resembling a 2011 Roblox Guest. His face texture features a devious grin with two sharp red eyes and red accent lines below and above the eyes, giving the impression of slight eye bags and brow creases. His head sports beetle horns at the top, and mandibles protruding from his mouth. His teeth are sharp and white, as seen when grinning.
In Pest's Halloween outfit, the letters "吸血鬼!!" appear on the back in Japanese, which translates to "VAMPIRE!!" in English.
All of his body parts are black with his head having a black shadow on top. On the front of his upper body is the word "Regret" in Japanese hiragana (こうかいする, Kō kai suru), and on the back of his torso are the words "Do you regret your decision?" also in Japanese. (自分の決断を復悔していますか？) The numbers "1314" in red are vertically placed on his left arm. He also sports a modified version of the Roblox "R" Baseball Cap, with the R slightly rotated to the right and replaced with a P instead.
In his previous appearance, he wore a shirt with the Japanese Roblox logo (ロブロックス, Roburokkusu), and on the back of the shirt, there was the inscription "make a free account to change how you look!", also in Japanese. (見た目を変える ためにフリーのアカウントを作りましょう! ) The word "guest" (ゲスト, Gesuto) in red was vertically placed on his left arm. He used to sport the default ROBLOX 'R' Baseball Cap.
==Description==
Pest enters the elevator saying "こんにちは ! 今日は素敵な日です。", which roughly translates to "Hello! Today is a lovely day". He can steal coins if a player is close enough to him. The amount of coins depends on the victim's coin amount and Pest can steal up to 5-10 coins.
He climbs out of the elevator to steal the ruby from the Temple of, Something floor. He also exits the elevator on the Cardboard Mansion, Happy Home Party, and Turret floors.
Personality-wise, Pest is standoffish from the other NPCs. He is a loner and doesn't wish to make friends, denying the fact whenever an NPC calls him one, often making them depressed. He is easily annoyed, straightforward, and will often steal items and lie about it when asked if he knows where they've gone. Pest tends to insult other NPCs in Japanese so they cannot understand what he is saying. Despite this, he may have a somewhat softer side to his personality, such as his interactions to DrRETRO or him apologizing for snapping at Spud.
