The Quinkin

The Quinkin is a main antagonist of episode The Many Place from Creeped Out

The Quinkin is a monster in Australia. The Quinkin was trapped in the Many Place, a type of labyrinth that could lead to multiple realities. It was used as a prison in the past for criminals to be punished for their crimes with a penalty of wandering the Many Place or another reality forever. To make matters worse, the Quinkin fed on the eyes of people so there was a high chance the prisoners would be blinded as a result. However, that is more of a natural instinct and the Quinkin is actually quite nice. Once it has eaten the eyes of someone, or if they have their eyes closed, then the Quinkin will try and help the prisoners return back to their reality, the only downside being that they may never see again. Eventually, criminals no longer faced imprisonment in the Many Place.

But on a rainy day three siblings Nita Blellison, Jet Blellison and Max Blellison and their parents went to a hotel in Australia to spend their summer vacation there, while Max explores the place she finds the elevator and sees that if she presses all the buttons then the buttons blink. As she is about to press the last button, the Boiler Man warns her not to, stating that bad things would happen if she did. Later, Nita went to the indoor swimming pool to meet a boy she met but was forced to take Jett and Max as well. While in the elevator Max pressed all the buttons and the elevator suddenly started violently shaking. When the doors opened, they found that the elevator wasn’t working anymore and there were no hotel room numbers or signs anywhere. They knocked on a door which opened slightly, revealing another corridor exactly the same. All the other doors lead to that as well. Suddenly, large swampy feet are seen behind the bottom of a door. This is the Quinkin. The sibling run away as the door is opened. Max is so scared she runs without them and gets lost. Nita and Jet also can’t find their elevator but they do find another one with red wallpaper, not yellow wallpaper like before. They find their hotel room but their parents are not in their. Nita and Jet go to reception asking if they got moved, but according to the Database they never visited the hotel. This realities Boiler Man recognises that they are not from his reality and tells them they need to retrace their steps and avoid the Quinkin at any length. They also notice that reality has flying cars. Nita and Jett find multiple realities including an underwater one and a reality with some sort of war. Eventually, they find Max, but she won’t reveal herself to them until they promise to close their eyes. Max explains that she is with the Quinkan and that is he noticed their eyes he will eat them. Nita and Jett reluctantly close their eyes and the Quinkin guides the siblings to their reality. However, they realise that Max is from a different reality, she is wearing red shoes rather than their Max’s black shoes. The two Max’s are shown to be friends. Max wearing black shoes managed to find her way back to her reality with some help from the Quinkin, hoping Nita and Jett would have come back. Max is pleased to see Nita and Jet, and is thrilled to see her alternate self. She asks their father if her alternate self can stay with them, excited at the idea of having a new playmate who could potentially be her adopted sister. The rest of the family stare in horror at the Quinkan’s mistake.

The Quinkin's origin is not known exactly but the boiler man knows of his existence, it is possible that the boiler man has gone to the Many Place and returned and Max from another dimension says that the boiler man from her dimension was blind meaning the boiler man already looked at the Quinkin and was attacked by him not having the same luck as the boiler men from other realities, The Quinkin must have already attacked other people eating their eyes but he was very kind to the siblings showing that as much as he eats eyes he is good with travelers who keep their eyes closed, and wishes to help people.
