Skin-Stealer

**Danger Level: High // Avoid at all costs.**

**Entity Number: 10**

## Appearance

Skin-Stealers are hostile humanoid entities. They possess the unique ability that upon killing a player, they will disguise as that player. At first glance, it is almost impossible to tell the difference between a normal player and a disguised skin stealer, although they have different behaviour compared to normal players, and act strangely.

Upon spotting the player, skin stealers will chase after the player. Skin stealers are a bit faster than the player, so outrunning or losing it is usually not a viable option. However, skin stealers cannot open doors, and cannot spot the player while they are hiding, so use that to avoid skin stealers.

**It can be found in the following Levels:**

* Level 1
* Level 5
* Level 8

## Behaviour

### Normal

When a skin stealer spots a player for the first time while un-disguised, they will proceed to chase after the player. They will make no noise or indication of any kind when chasing the player, so be observant and prepare for any skin stealers to sneak up on you. Skin stealers are also slightly faster than the player.

Skin stealers are much more aggressive when they are not disguised, and are much more persistent as well. This means that they will not stop chasing the player until they either kill the player, or the player hides of they lose them somehow.

## Appearance

The Skin-Stealer appears to be a large, muscular humanoid entity with gray rotten skin. Its glowing white eyes and blood-stained mouth, which possess razor-sharp teeth, stretch from its head down to its torso.

## Additional information

* The Skin-Stealer does not have the ability to open doors.
* It is also unable to find players in Level 5 who hide under a bed or in a closet.
* It carries a flashlight in Level 8 to warn you of its location.

## Tips and Advice

The only weakness of the Skin-Stealer is that it cannot open doors, so make sure to run inside a room and close the door if spotted. If playing with friends, make sure to all stick together. If you get separated, have a rule to always pull out your ID card when you see another player. If they don't do the same, it is a Skin-Stealer, so run for the nearest door. Teamwork and communication are the best ways to survive a skin stealer.

You can detect a Skin-Stealer by the noise it makes, or if you are in a dark place like Level 1 and Level 8, there is a visual indicator if it is in the dark. If you see a small white dot high up that is moving, that is a Skin-Stealer. Alternatively, in Level 8 they carry flashlights which can be used to warn players of its location and which way it is facing.

## Do's and Don'ts

### Do

* Run away from it and don't look back until you are safe.
* Shut the doors behind you to avoid encounters.
* Keep communication with your team to avoid being tricked.
* If on Level 5 hiding is the best option to survive a chase with a skin stealer. (or go into the nearest room and get into the bed)
* If on Level 8 running back to the start or the exit and turning the valve is your only way of hiding from them.

### Don't

* Attempt to ask someone running at you for their ID Card.
* Leave doors behind you open.
* Try to confront a skin stealer.
* Spam F on a door when being chased down by a skin stealer.
