Lightlurkers

Description
Entity 69, known as Lightlurker, appears to be a type of mollusk with light tones and indefinite tentacles. The characteristic of these entities is that they have an irrational love for luminous objects. When Lightlurkers are close to one, they warp around it and do not pay attention to dangers nearby. Because of this, they don't represent a threat to wanderers or other entities.
They are generally food for other entities, and it can even be for wanderers in state of starving. Lightlurkers, for its part, seems to feed on light, cutting its luminity. Entity 69 manages to consume 60cd (candela unit) per day.
Behaviors
Entity 69, in dark areas, will be evasive and move away from anything that approaches it. In the opposite case, in areas with a source of light, Lightlurkers will attach themselves to the object and ignore any type of threat. They will only move away from it when they have consumed all the luminity from it.
Finding a live example is a good sign. Since Lightlurkers are food for hostile entities, finding a live one means that these dangerous entities don't pass through that area, which makes the zone almost completely safe to rest in or make a shelter. The entity appears to be trying to camouflage itself every time it feeds by trying to take the form of a plant. Unfortunately for it, this is useless due to the strong smell it emits.
Biology
The body of Lightlurkers is made of full tentacles that can extend up to one meter. Its biological structure is very similar to that of an octopus; however, regarding the tenctaluos, these can vary from 8 to 14. In size, they are usually no larger than a human torso.
Its meat is not harmful for human consumption; however, it requires prior preparation because some of Entity 69 interior organs are.
Discovery
The first example, deceased, was discovered by a wanderer exploring Level 810. Until then, only its biology could be studied, not its behavior. During another exploration, a living group of Entity 69 could be found in Level 124. This discovery occurred approximately in May 2013 and allowed scientists to study the behavior of the entity towards lights.
