### Traits

* STIGMA: Caught investigators have their endurance reduced by 8%. This trait is disabled in Classic Mode.

 Skills

 COMPASS: Pulls up a compass for a few seconds that will roughly point in the direction of the Investigator with the lowest Stealth or the nearest highlighted Investigator. The color of the pointer on the compass varies depending on the distance from the investigator. Red means far away, yellow means getting closer, and blue means nearby. If the compass is a single pale blue dot, it means that the investigator is near the general area. There is a cool-down period between compass usages.

 TELEPORT: Teleports the creature near the investigator with the lowest Stealth.

 DECOY: Creates a larva that makes the same sound as Tapes. An Investigator's Compass will point to the decoy if it's closer to the Investigator than a real Clue.

 SHUTDOWN: Temporarily disables every Investigator's flashlight. Shutdown ends prematurely if Olkoth grabs an Investigator.

 INVISIBILITY: Makes Olkoth completely invisible to investigators, and able to traverse through light without getting slowed down. During invisibility, Olkoth also has his Perception increased by 20%. Invisibility will end after a certain amount of time or if Olkoth enters a certain range of an investigator.

 SPRINT: Movement speed will temporarily be increased. Exposition to light will cancel the sprint.

## Tips

Olkoth's completely average stat spread gives him no real advantages or disadvantages, although his Traits and Skills are very helpful. STIGMA will make escaping much more difficult for Investigators, especially for Investigators who have low Endurance, such as Vincent and Denali. RANCOR helps set up Decoys or use Shutdown, although it does not take effect if Olkoth uses Teleport while devouring an Investigator or after being stunned.

Decoys should be placed in areas where Clues would ordinarily spawn. However, this requires remembering the map's layout and where Clues can spawn. Decoys should also never be placed near real Clues. Shutdown will help Olkoth grab Investigators more easily, as it forces Investigators to walk slower. It will, however, disable outlines on Investigators. Invisibility should be used and forced off in front of Investigators, as if an Investigator hears the sound of Olkoth becoming visible, they will most likely check behind them. The sound for becoming invisible and visible is also very loud, meaning that Olkoth should try to use it when at a decent distance away from Investigators.

## Trivia

* Olkoth is the only creature to have their stances differ when selecting a Creature and when the game starts. Their idle animation on the selection screen has them sway from side to side, while when the game starts, they seem to take Subject 23's idle stance.
	+ However, Olkoth formerly shared its menu animation with Subject 23.
	+ The red model of Olkoth used when selecting a random Creature uses Subject 23's menu animation as well.
* Olkoth, along with Rusalka, are the only creatures to be in a White Noise 2 profile background on Steam. They are both in the "A Tale of Horror" background, which costs 500 Steam Points.
* Olkoth is featured on the first and last images posted by Milkstone Studios' Twitter account.
