Minor characters
Civet
Civet
- The Many Deaths of You: The first of many many game overs the player will encounter in this
Nintendo Hard game. If you idle on the balcony overlooking the ruined city for just under one minute, it will appear and absorb you. - Predation Is Natural: All you are to this prowling creature, is prey. It's licking its lips at the prospect of mercilessly consuming you.
- Wall Crawl: The Civet notices straightaway from wherever its vantage point was, that you're staring forlornly at the ruins. The hunter scales the outside of the tower complex to come pounce on you unawares.
- Watching the Sunset: If Colin absently gazes at the view of the Urban Ruins for too long (just under a minute real-time), the creature climbing the megastructure, will catch him.
Hypno Cat
Hypno Cat
- Curiosity Is a Crapshoot: It only attacks Colin should he interact with the box it's hiding in.
- Sickly Green Glow: Its eyes, mouth, and stripes glow a bright luminous green.
- Hypnotic Eyes: Its eyes are hypnotic, with Colin being stated to be unable to look away from its eyes as it transfurs him.
- Mind-Control Eyes: When it 'transfurs' Colin, his eyes gain the same green rings in them that it does.
Cerberus
Cerberus
- The Assimilator: They appear and grab Colin in the Vents, forcibly transfurring him into one being with the three of them.
- Chromatic Arrangement: They're almost identical, yet have yellow and red eyes each. Their fusion with Colin results in a multi-headed canine with all three sets of eyes forming the primary colours.
- Gender Bender: The yellow eyed one is female, yet the final fusion with Colin and the red eyed one seems to be male, as it is predominantly male and has no visible mammaries.
- Like Brother and Sister: Colin's thoughts indicate he feels like he and the other two heads have always been brother and sister of a trinity, although he doesn't start thinking this until he has Death of Personality.
- Mind-Control Eyes: As Colin is undergoing Death of Personality, his eyes change to be blue with white circles in them. When he's fully lost his identity, his sclera are black just like the other two heads.
- Multiple Head Case: The final fusion is one canine humanoid with three heads: the yellow eyed one, the red eyed one, and Colin (after suffering Death of Personality).
- Point of No Return: They prevent Colin Backtracking from Puro's home to the Library once the player has gone into the Vents.
- Showing Off the New Body: They intend to cruelly do this in front of Puro, gloating they have the human he only just met and was desperate to make friends with.
- Sibling Fusion: Colin's thoughts after being merged with them suggest that the two are brother and sister.
- Stalked by the Bell: Their purpose as part of Railroading is to stop the player backtracking to an earlier section of the game when a new area has opened up. Cerberus is the first of many such "punishments" for straying. Justified In-Universe as all the monsters are now aware of Colin and determined to capture him.
Purple Fox
Purple Fox
- Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: It has purple and lavender fur, as opposed to all of the orange and white furred foxes it lays near.
- Ambiguously Related: To the other foxes in the room. It has a different colour scheme but the same shape as them, and they all stare at it curiously upon it 'transfurring' Colin.
- Don't Touch It, You Idiot!: With the orange fox brethren, it's content to just idle, and they don't chase after Colin in the vents. Problem is, the young man is The Klutz and can accidentally slip on discarded paperwork straight into them.
- Fox Folk: It turns Colin into one if he gets accidentally transfurred by it.
- Interspecies Romance: It seems to spark one if Colin runs into it while wearing No.25. It splits off from No.25 upon 25 transfurring Colin, with 25 then kissing it while the Purple Fox blushes profusely. It smiles and wags its tail after the kiss, with the post-transfur screen showing them embracing each other. It's the only creature known to happily reciprocate its longings for companionship, as both Yuin and the Goo Deer are less than impressed to meet it.
- Non-Malicious Monster: It's perfectly fine with Colin's presence, and will only 'transfur' him if Colin instigates the collision, such as running into it.
- No-Sell: Unlike every other latex creature, which is forced to unhappily fuse with it, the Purple Fox is able to separate from No.25 as its own humanoid creature.
Khaki Cat
Khaki Cat
- Animal Testing: Like the Ming Cat, it was brought in for latex-infusing experimentation in the 'Genetic Project', but escaped sometime after the mass riots.
- Anthropomorphic Transformation: If the cat successfully assimilates Colin, both'll undergo a 'transfurmation' into a humanoid-cat which the protagonist quickly begins to enjoy.
- Creator Cameo: A fursona of bloodytear, the character has prominent Facial Markings that look like a teardrop of blood on the cat's forehead note .
- Inescapable Ambush: In a Non-Standard Game Over if Colin backtracks to the Vents, the Cute Kitten is now a Killer Rabbit as its awake, pouncing on him and instantly absorbing him.
- Inside a Wall: The little goo has made its home in the ventilation shafts. It's an inaccessible area that the player can see, but cannot get to.
- Obvious Rule Patch: It's there to prevent Colin retreating from the Stiger's lair (and a cruel Hope Spot for messing up his Block Puzzle thinking it'll reset).
- Sleepyhead: The first time you see it, you cannot reach or interact with the Cute Kitten as it sleeps. The second time...its not so benign.
Moth
Moth
- Adults Are More Anthropomorphic: It's just a small insect-like latex goo the Stiger keeps around for pranks. Once it makes contact with Colin, the 'transfurmation' process allows it to mature into a more anthropomorphic form that's commonly associated with the latex beasts. Stiger however, now views them as food instead.
- All Webbed Up: Upon Colin getting 'transfurred' by it, the Stiger webs him up, presumably with the intent to eat him.
- Fantastic Livestock: It seems to be food for the Stiger, as they web Colin up and salivate upon it transfurring the human.
- Moth Menace: Downplayed. The small creature isn't much of a threat, and can't assimilate Colin without the Stiger trapping the player beforehand.
- Slower Than a Snail: There's no way the little fellow could ever catch Colin, were it not for the fact that it's an unwitting participant in another of the Stiger's cruel jokes.
Dancing Latex Wolf
Dancing Latex Wolf
- Blob Monster: They started off as just three common light-latex blobs skulking around Stiger's lair that he kept as his pets (and food source). They become more anthropomorphic if Colin tricks them into merging.
- Clothing Damage: If Colin gets 'transfurred' by them, his growth in size causes his benign latex pants to rip and tear at the top.
- Fusion Dance: Played quite literally. If Colin tricks the three latexes into merging, instead of chasing him like the other blobs do, they become an anthropromorphic white wolf-like latex that begins dancing in happiness.
- Growing Muscles Sequence: If Colin gets transfurred by this fused form, he becomes a light-latex wolf, but also becomes massively ripped and beefy. The transfur sequence even depicts him looking at his muscular chest while shocked.
- Happy Dance: It begins to perform the pirouette upon fusing like a ballet dancer, while smiling, presumably happy at finally gaining a body.
- Mind Hive: The fused wolf presumably contains the minds of all three light-latexes that compose it, though Colin seems to become the dominant mind should he get transfurred into the body.
- Non-Malicious Monster: Upon fusing, they're content to merely dance in place, even if Colin walks right by the fused wolf. It only transfurs Colin should he stupidly walk into them. Even then, the transfur seems to not result in Death of Personality for the former human, and don't make him pirouette if he doesn't want to.
- Non-Standard Character Design: Their fused form is one of the only latex wolves in the game to have a flat face with no snout.
- Sizeshifter: Upon 'transfurring' Colin, the resulting wolf fusion is noticeably massive. Justified as they're made up of multiple monsters.
Five-tailed Fox
Five-tailed Fox
- Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: Their fur colorations, already peculiar after Animal Testing, become much more fantastical after they assimilate Colin into a large Asian Fox Spirit with markings over its body and tails.
- Ambiguously Related: It's a possibility they were created from the same transfur gas Dr. K uses if Colin calls him too many times, as both are mainly dark with glowing accents, have spike-shaped markings all over their body, and have glowing cyan paw pads.
- Animal Testing: The two little foxes were among many other specimens brought to the tower as part of the Genetic Project for latex infusion tests. Now transformed into goo monsters with exotic fur colors, the metal cages do nothing to contain them.
- Badass Fingersnap: Asserts its dominance over a struggling Colin by doing this, changing its color and growing larger with four additional tails to show off how powerful its new body is.
- Cardboard Prison: Because they're latex beasts who can turn into a liquid state, the bars of their cages do nothing to contain them.
- Killer Rabbit: Both critters in their cages grab Colin affectionately before absorbing him, proving they are very adorable, and very dangerous.
- Schmuck Bait: Even though the player ventures into this room because their Curiosity Is a Crapshoot, the first adorable caged animal doesn't 'transfur' you straightaway and merely embraces and licks you (first time). Naturally you'd think it's safe to go poking round the other Ridiculously Cute Critters cages, only to find out how sorely mistaken that notion is. Once these two have you, they will never let you go.
- Your Soul Is Mine!: Colin fighting from the inside tries his best to resist them, but both latex foxes going through the Anthropomorphic Transformation overpower him with a Badass Fingersnap, fully absorbing his identity into themselves. The fox then grins in triumph at consuming him wholly, body and mind.
Chimera
Chimera
- A Head at Each End: When 'transfurred' by it, Colin becomes a snake protruding out of its rear, while the creature asserts its dominance over him by controlling the main body he's now become a part of.
- Animal Testing: Captured and brought in for testing as part of the Genetic Project, it's unclear what animal it was originally, before the bioengineers put it through DNA infusion and it started to rapidly evolve far beyond what the designers intended to act as a cure for the Pale Virus.
- Bizarre Alien Biology: Like with Stiger, its a hybrid of several specimens that have no doubt undergone a 'transfur fusion' together. Being part lion, part cervine, part bat, and Colin making up its snake tail if he's assimilated.
- Classical Chimera: The hybrid desires to become a mythical goo beast, and not just an anthropromorphic one. Though Chimera even when it consumes Colin, is still lacking the goat's head so there's room for improvement (unless it were to successfully find and merge with Yuin).
- Curiosity Is a Crapshoot: By this point now, the player has no doubt been assimilated by several different caged latex critters, all for exploring this hazard-filled room, and the Chimera is the coup de grace for straying off the path.
- Obvious Rule Patch: It's there to prevent Colin from taking the service lift directly down to the generator room, and thereby bypassing the Behemoth, decontamination chambers, and a majority of the Aquatic area.
- Showing Off the New Body: Chimera's very pleased if it catches Colin, and embraces the snake tail that he has been 'transfurred' into.
Blue Latex
Blue Latex
- Air-Vent Passageway: She jumps out from the vents to 'transfur' Colin.
- Box-and-Stick Trap: Her trap is an opened can of peaches on a counter, in a laboratory where there's almost no other food besides terrible tasting oranges. Upon Colin eating the peaches, she's alerted and rushes at him when he tries to walk away.
- Disproportionate Retribution: She'll jump out at and 'transfur' Colin if he eats a tin of peaches found in the room.
- Failed a Spot Check: She's smart enough to know any surviving humans in the complex would no doubt be hungry, she's oblivious to how conspicuous her overeager traps are.
- Gender Bender: Getting 'transfurred' by her results in Colin gaining eyelashes and breasts. Strangely, this is one of the only female 'transfurs' in the game to have Colin not suffer Death of Personality nor Gender Bender Angst, with the post-transfur screen having her posing and Showing Off the New Body.
- Man, I Feel Like a Woman: Colin's immediate response to seeing her new breasts is to start poking and rubbing them with a slight blush.
- Schmuck Bait: Her attempt to catch Colin with food is just too obvious. Puro picks this up immediately that opened tinned food with a spoon, directly below a vent, is a very poor trap that no one would fall for (but there's always that one player who can't help but to backtrack).
Latex Bunnies
Latex Bunnies
- Berserk Button: They only attack Colin should he step on the puddle in the hallway too many times. Otherwise they remain neutral.
- Bizarre Alien Biology: They'll only 'transfur' Colin into a female bunny if both 'transfur' him. Just one results in a male bunny.
- Gender Bender: Both bunnies assimilating into Colin turns him into a female latex bunny with large mammaries and long hair. To say Colin isn't happy with her new parts is an understatement.
- Inescapable Ambush: Once on the scene, the goo bunnies trap the human from both sides in the corridor, and are impossible to escape.
- Long Hair Is Feminine: Being 'transfurred' into a female bunny results in Colin gaining breasts, but also in her hair greatly increasing in length, going from shoulder length to waist length.
- Neutral No Longer: They are easy to avoid but taunting them repeatedly by stepping on their latex patches, will make them reveal themselves, bursting out of the vents to come claim you.
- Orifice Invasion: One of them burrows into Colin's bellybutton in its bid to assimilate him.
- Power Dyes Your Hair: Upon being 'transfurred' by one of them, Colin's hair is dyed pink with light blue accents.
Alien Goo
Alien Goo
- The Assimilator: When Colin notices it, it first throws a glob of blue latex at and 'transfurs' him into a creature similar to itself. It then uses Hypnotic Eyes to make alien Colin come closer, before giving him a Kiss of Death and merging into one being.
- Body Horror: The creatures are evolving into all kinds of beasts, both real and unreal, giving it an unearthly gelatinous multi-eyed xenomorph-like appearance.
- Curiosity Is a Crapshoot: It can only appear to sneak up on Colin should he inspect a blocked-off inaccessible passageway too much, otherwise it's easy to avoid.
- Entitled to Have You: An infected-Colin will try to fight off its control and influence, but the alien-like latex refuses to allow him to run, hypnotising him repeatedly to become one. Once merged it is the dominant force of the 'transfur fusion' and Colin inside its chest, can never escape from this union.
- Goo It Up: It slings a blob of itself right at Colin's face, instantly covering his head and 'transfurring' the rest of him as it spreads down his body.
- Humans Need Aliens: Inverted. This monster by design and instinct as a Blob Monster is determined to absorb a human being for itself.
- Hypnotic Eyes: After transfurring Colin, it makes its eyes and paw pad repeatedly flash red and white to hypnotise the former human into merging with it. Colin manages to resist at first, before giving in eventually.
- Kiss of Death: Upon the hypnotised Colin coming close, it gives the former human an abrupt kiss, presumably transfurring his insides to be fit for merging with it.
- Rule of Three: It'll appear to Colin if he looks through the vent door window three times.
- Split-Personality Takeover: After using Hypnotic Eyes on and merging with Colin, it's implied to have done this, as Colin's head no longer moves or displays signs of life at all, and the creature begins a Victory Dance at having transfurred a human.
- You Are Already Dead: If it appears to Colin, he's a goner. There's no way for the player to have Colin look through the window thrice and survive.
Manta Rays
Manta Rays
Click here to see the males
Click here to see the females
A large amount of flying variegated-latex manta rays that attack Colin as he crosses the catwalk at the end of the aquatic area.
- Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism: The males have full legs, while the females have serpent-like tails instead.
- Cheaters Never Prosper: If Colin attempts to cheese their section by sprinting through the bridge at full speed, they'll suddenly change tactics and charge at the human.
- Gender Bender: Being close to Puro when caught results in Colin becoming a humanoid manta ray with a snake-like tail and... large Non-Mammal Mammaries.
- Jumping the Gender Barrier: Upon being 'transfurred' into a female ray and suffering Death of Personality, Colin grabs Puro with her tail and shows her breasts, silently flirting with the dark-latex wolf.
- Non-Mammal Mammaries: Despite being manta rays, the female transfurred variants have breasts.
- Prehensile Tail: The female transfurred variant grabs Puro with her tail to flirt with him.
- Snake People: The female transfurred variant has a serpent-like tail instead of legs.
- Zerg Rush: Their main attack is to swarm Colin, and Puro protecting his best friend can sometimes be overwhelmed by them even if he stays close-by.
Hyena's Pets
Hyena's Pet Snake and Lizard
- Animate Body Parts: Upon being transfurred into a Medusa cat latex, the snakes in Colin's hair appear to be their own animate parts, as she waves at and poses with them.
- The Assimilator: The lizard and snake both do this if Colin interacts with them, turning the human into a lizard person and snake-haired cat person respectively.
- Ass Shove: The lizard latex chooses to transfur Colin by attaching itself to the human's lower back and entering there, with its tail sliding into the place of Colin's rear.
- Body Horror: The lizard transfurs Colin from the inside, resulting in the human skin on his left arm and leg popping off like an actual lizard to reveal lizard scales underneath. Colin then starts forcibly ripping off his human skin all over his body to reveal he's been completely turned into a lizard person, while his shedded human skin lies at his feet.
- Cat Folk: The snake latex merges with Colin into one of these, albeit with snakes inside of Colin's hair.
- Clothing Damage: Colin's pants get tattered and ripped during the lizard transfur.
- Don't Touch It, You Idiot!: Both of them hang harmlessly from small trees in the corner of Hyena's room, and only transfur Colin should he walk into them.
- Easily Forgiven: Despite transfurring him into a Medusa-like cat latex, Colin doesn't seem to have a grudge against the snakes. She's even shown smiling and waving at them after being transfurred, with the transfur screen showing them all smiling and posing together.
- Gender Bender: The snake latex turns Colin into a female Medusa-like cat. Strangely, Colin doesn't display any tendencies of Gender Bender Angst, though whether she suffered Death of Personality isn't clarified.
- Gorgeous Gorgon: Colin will get engulfed by a latex snake that lands on him, in Hyena's den if he carelessly pokes around the trees. They both transfur into a female Gorgon-like creature with many snakes for hair.
- Hidden Eyes: Upon being transfurred into a lizard, Colin's face is mostly obscured, leaving just glowing blue eyes visible.
- Lizard Folk: The lizard latex merges with Colin to turn them both into one of these.
- Medusa: The snake transfur has Colin turn into a feline Medusa-like latex creature, with her even waving at the snakes in her hair.
- Non-Mammalian Hair: Colin still has hair after the lizard transfur, despite then being a lizard person.
- Self-Duplication: The snake latex seems to be capable of doing this, as when it turns Colin into a Medusa-like cat, her new hair has four different snakes within it.
- Tear Off Your Face: The lizard transfur ends with Colin tearing off the human skin on his face.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Colin has Ophidiophobia, or the fear of snakes, so he panics greatly whenever the snake is on his body. Strangely, he panics in the same way when the lizard is on him, suggesting he may have complete Herpetophobia, or the fear of reptiles in-general, as opposed to just snakes.
Sun Cat
Sun Cat
- Anthropomorphic Transformation: While at first she's a small feral cat-like creature, Sun Cat transforms into a large humanoid to transfur Colin.
- Baby Be Mine: Upon Colin petting her, she doesn't hesitate to transfur him into her child, even becoming bigger to help support a 'transfurred' Colin sleeping on her back afterwards. Luckily for her, Colin seems content with being made into her child.
- Children Raise You: If Colin is foolish enough to touch her, Sun Cat will absorb him, and in doing so, shifts the size and mass from her prey into herself, making her the parental figure, and the human her child. Even after she's done transfurring him and undergoes a Unanthropomorphic Transformation again, she's now larger and has a more human-like face.
- Curiosity Is a Crapshoot: Her encounter is completely optional and easy to avoid. The only way Colin can ever find the feline-like monster sunning itself, is if the player backtracks to the starting room of the Aquatic Area and interacts with her.
- Happily Adopted: If Colin starts petting her, she'll 'transfur' him into a child for herself. Cut to her sleeping peacefully again with Sun Cat Colin sleeping peacefully on her back.
- Hates Being Touched: She won't transfur Colin unless he starts petting her.
- My Biological Clock Is Ticking: She seems to be this. She's by herself when Colin finds her, yet she doesn't hesitate to transfur him into her child upon noticing him, and then becomes bigger to help support a 'transfurred' Colin sleeping on her back afterwards.
- Non-Mammal Mammaries: Inverted. Despite being a female cat, she has a flat chest.
- Rapid Aging: The Sun Cat will quickly mature into an adult if Colin pets her, and for his affection, his "reward" is becoming her child.
- Sleepyhead: On her own, she just sits on her pillow and sleeps. She'll only transfur Colin if he wakes her up and starts petting her.
Watermelon Cat
Watermelon Cat
- Body Horror: If the mimic creature wraps around Colin, they become a writhing crying mass of dark gooey latex, before 'transfurring' into a humanoid cat.
- The Ditz: She's oblivious to how she ended up so far from the Greenhouse. When woken, the monster doesn't even assimilate the man because she failed to notice him, unless he happens to be standing right in her path.
- Gender Bender: After 'transfurring' into a humanoid cat, the creature becomes female with pronounced breasts.
- Like a Duck Takes to Water: If she consumes Colin, she's content to remain in the Aquatic area, taking one of the lifebuoy rings the otters were using to float around lesuirely.
- Man-Eating Plant: Like the Gardeners, she mimics ordinary plants to trick and capture prey. If Colin obstructs her path back to the Greenhouse after waking her up, she'll happily wrap around the hapless man, before assimilating him.
- Misplaced Wildlife: The latex beast belongs in the Greenhouse with other plant-like mimics, but somehow ended up wandering into the Aquatic area.
- Planimal: A mix of both a plant and animal creature, that borders on a Cartoon Creature, with her stretchy default form and bizarre 'transfurred' appearance.
Skunk
Skunk
- Ambiguous Situation: It 'transfurring' Colin into a fellow skunk is one of the only times in the game a latex beast chooses to transfur the human instead of assimilate him without their relationship afterwards being shown (whether it be friends, family, or lovers).
- Curiosity Is a Crapshoot: Both of its tricks are only encountered if the player chooses to backtrack when they have no reason to do so. The second time it's for keeps, and the player has no one to blame but themselves.
- Evil Laugh: It starts mischievously laughing once Colin starts transfurring into a skunk latex in its second trap.
- Fluffy Tamer: It appears to have a cat-like watermelon creature as a pet, as said creature assists the Skunk by luring the human into the Skunk's trap.
- Jerkass: The door to Hyena's den slams behind you, preventing retreat because this latex monster is deliberately holding it shut all while he laughs at your misfortune, forcing Colin to face Hyena in a Rush Boss battle.
- Obvious Rule Patch: It appears in the giant Hyena battle and holds the door shut so that Colin can't pull a Screw This, I'm Outta Here. The Skunk later prevents the player from venturing back to the Vents after making enough progress in the Aquatic area.
- Oh, Crap!: When you defeat Hyena, you might notice the skunk is aghast before it nervously retreats, allowing your exit.
- The Prankster: Both of its appearances have it exploiting Colin's curiosity, by locking him in a room with the mother Hyena and 'transfurring' him into a skunk.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After Colin manages to beat Hyena in its first trap, it produces an 'Oh, Crap!' look before bailing.
- Smelly Skunk: When it appears for a second time, it tricks Colin into entering a gas vent chamber, then releases a green canister of green gas that 'transfurs' the human into a latex skunk.
- Smug Smiler: When Colin walks into his second trap in the vent room, he has a big mischievous smile on his face, which changes to an Evil Laugh once the human starts being transfurred.
- Weaponized Stench: The skunk is unable to transfur Colin via touch, instead can only infect any humans via the same experimental latex gas that created it. Unfortunately for Colin, it's smart enough to bring along a canister of the gas, and open the valve when the man's in close-range.
Big Otter
Big Otter
- Adopt the Food: A digested-Colin tries to force his way out of its belly after being 'transfurred'. The beast obliges, molding him into its 'little brother' who falls onto the floor. The Big Otter is most pleased with its hunger sated and the outcome.
- Giant Mook: The otter's not yet a giant, but through overeating has definitely outgrown all the other resident otter-like latex creatures.
- It Can Think: It's not a brainless glutton, and knows Colin only backtracked to the room because he's Constantly Curious, so lures him into an evil trap by putting photos on a fishing line and hook, just to entice him to stay. It's impossible for the player to look at these documents and escape.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: The big guy doesn't want to play or lounge like the other small otters, and only desires to consume Colin.
- Rod And Reel Repurposed: It hooks photos onto its own fishing line after observing Colin is exploring and reading whatever he can find within the complex.
- Sizeshifter: The greedy goo beast stands in at about ten feet, but isn't as big as light-latex monsters such as Hyena or Behemoth. The large Lutrinae cleverly found a work-around by shifting all of its mass to act as a giant-version of its own head to easily ingest prey. Once it digests the hapless human, it shifts back to its default form.
- Swallowed Whole: It effortlessly gulps up Colin, who tried to leave the area by walking over its large latex goo puddle. It shifts its own mass to form a giant-sized head in order to swallow him down.
- Villainous Glutton: The otter wants to devour Colin whole, and will go to great lengths to ensure it succeeds.
The Aquatic Inhabitants
The Aquatic Inhabitants
- Adaptational Nice Guy: In the original game, different species of latex monsters generally keep to their own kind (out of Animal Jingoism). In the Special Edition, the squid pups and sharks have learned to coexist side-by-side. Dr. K studying them learns any scrimmages they have are more playful in nature, than outright hostile battles for territory.
- Ambiguously Related: The emo and fishing shark both have white hair, red eyes, are the same species, and appear in the same location together, leading to the possibility they might be siblings or another form of family.
- Apathetic Citizens: The Siren is the only one of them who cares about Colin, a human, being inside their environment. None of them intervene when a fight breaks out between a squid dog and shark either, with everyone either watching with interest or trying to block it out.
- Artificial Meat: The fishing shark and squid dog eat the generic white fish. Said fish appear to be latex, as they drip out of the tubes and pipes from the ceiling into the water.
- Compelling Voice: As soon as Colin steps into shallow water near the shark siren, she'll start singing, and the player temporarily loses control. Colin in a trance, will walk in random directions, and this spells disaster due to the close-proximity of deeper water. It's almost impossible to get past her without getting 'transfurred' by the orca monster that lies in wait. However, her singing can be drowned out by instigating a fight between a squid dog and shark latex on the prowl.
- Death Glare: The fishing shark will give Colin one of these is he starts kicking the fish she caught back into the water.
- Elemental Eye Colors: The Siren has blue eyes, indicative of her being an aquatic being inside the water. Inverted with the fisher shark, who has red eyes.
- Emo Teen: The emo shark in the room immediately notices Colin, but can't be assed to give chase.
Word of God describes him as unhappy he's changing into an adolescent. Even if Colin manages to walk up right to him, he just stares back making no attempt to assimilate him. - Eyes Out of Sight: The sleeping shark has messy white hair that completely covers their eyes.
- Facepalm: The emo shark will have one of these upon a shark losing a fight against a squid dog.
- Friendly Enemy: Despite all being squid dogs or sharks, enemies of all humans, they're mostly content with Colin's presence. The only one who does anything to stop him is the Siren, who still doesn't directly attack him and will always smile regardless, even if he made it past her.
- Furry Female Mane: The two female sharks are among the only sharks to have hair.
- Gameplay and Story Segregation: The fishing squid dog and shark catching fish just serve as random idle animations, and neither of their fish piles will ever get bigger, regardless of how many fish they catch.
- Logical Weakness: The fighting between the shark and squid dog is notably so loud it makes a large amount of the room cover their ears in annoyance. It being this loud also means that Colin is completely immune to the Siren's Compelling Voice when it's occurring.
- Long Hair Is Feminine: The two female sharks both have long white hair, unlike almost the male regular sharks, who are all bald.
- The Misophonic: The fishing squid dog and sleeping shark will cover their ears with a frown whenever the Squid Pup and Shark in the water fight with each other.
- Non-Mammalian Hair: All four latex sharks have prominent white hair, and the fisher squid dog has hair-like tufts of fur on her head.
- Non-Mammal Mammaries: Despite being a shark, the Siren has pronounced breasts, likely to add to her siren-like nature.
- No-Sell: Colin is completely unaffected by the Siren's Compelling Voice whenever the squid dog and shark are fighting, as the loud fighting drowns out her voice.
- Not So Above It All: The Emo Teen shark who displays little care of anything still shows signs of the Fantastic Racism present between his species and the squid dogs. He watches with interest when a shark and a squid dog fight, and he'll smirk if the shark wins.
- Our Sirens Are Different: The Siren is a Shark Woman with the lower half of a real shark who can sing to attract Colin.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Subverted with the emo and fisher sharks. They both have red eyes, and yet are among the only sharks that make no attempt to attack the human.
- Sleepyhead: The fishing squid dog will doze off whenever she isn't getting a bite or covering her ears to drown out a shark and squid dog fighting. The squid pups in the hammock above also nap whenever they're not watching a fight. The sleeping shark beside the emo shark also rests lazily whenever he isn't covering his ears to drown out the fight.
- The Smurfette Principle: The two shark women the only two female latex sharks encountered in the game. All of the other ones are male.
- Tender Tears: The young shark-girl is overcome whenever listening to the singing of the nearby Siren. The other monsters trying to catch fish or sleep don't appreciate it, and her song hypnotizes Colin if he hears it.
- Terrestrial Sea Life: Despite being a shark, the Siren is perfectly fine sitting on a floating crate outside of the water. The fishing squid dog is also fine sitting on the bank of the water, though she is part dog.
- The Unfought: Downplayed as the Siren isn't a major enemy, but she notably doesn't transfur Colin herself, instead using her siren voice to trick him into falling into deep water and getting assimilated by another shark.
- Villains Out Shopping: The squid dog and one of the sharks are both shown harmlessly fishing for food, and neither make any attempt to attack Colin.
Latex Gargoyles
Latex Gargoyles
Click here to see the male transfurmation
Click here to see the female transfurmation
Two variegated-latex Rock Monster-like mimic creatures pretending to be gargoyles that are encountered after the aquatic area on a hidden ledge. They feature outside on the Tower's balconies, in the game's Special Edition.
- And I Must Scream: When Colin's captured by either of them, they force him to become assimilated in their clutches. This happens without any Death of Personality, but the cruel twist is without any autonomy to move of his own free-will, ever again. The young man's become a rigid ossified latex gargoyle, with a permanent horrified expression, that can only watch-on helplessly, as the clingy monsters do with him as they please.
- Dramatic High Perching: The Gargoyles sit upon their perches from the megastructures' balconies, and return back to their perches, if they successfully absorb Colin he'll become their entrapped partner. Both will watch over the ruined city with him, forever.
- Entitled to Have You: Both are extremely possessive of the young man and long to have him. The male pawn gives an Evil Laugh when he finally captures a struggling Colin, whereas the female queen gleefully kisses him under cover of her wings before transfurring her hapless love-interest for keeps. Afterwards when Puro is searching for Colin, the male pawn wraps his wings around his new "friend", and the female covers Colin's face with her hands, cruelly ensuring the wolf will never find the human again.
- Failed a Spot Check: Zigzags into Artificial Stupidity. They don't seem to understand that a Living Statue trying to sneak up on prey, shouldn't keep moving. Yet both of them slowly pursue after Colin in broad daylight, while making a stomping racket, averting any chance they could be Mistaken for Granite. The beasts take the most-direct path to catch the human, and can get stuck on the balcony tree, or hop impotently, unable to follow the escaping man down the ladder. Both are playing by different rules instead of teaming up in disguise, the male Gargoyle imitates a a statue instead of following the rules of Chess, which all the other Gargoyles do.
- Field Promotion: The female monster is imitating Chess, not pretending to be a sculpture with the male Gargoyle. She follows the rules of the game where a Pawn can become a Queen. If she manages to follow Colin around the checkered-floor balcony from one side to the other, she'll transform into an older, bigger creature.
- Kissing Discretion Shot: When the enlarged female (Queen) gargoyle catches Colin in her vice-like grip, she'll cover him under her wings and starts smooching him. Colin does not enjoy it.
- Living Statue: Both mimic-type latex goos are imitating gargoyles. The male is pretending to be various classical Sculptures in a Stock Pose, whereas the female is mimicking a pawn on a Chess board that can become a bigger threat if she promotes herself into a queen.
- Mighty Glacier: Their latex is a heavier denser material than most batches of the goo, giving them a solid Rock Monster-body that makes a stomping noise as they move across the balcony. The Queen even has Jiggle Physics for her breasts as she stomps after you. They are easy to outrun as they try to go faster, and can only catch an especially-unlucky player if cornered in the cramped layout.
- Nobody Here but Us Statues: Both don't move at first, but are unwilling to lie in wait for long as Colin explores, and soon give chase.
- Our Gargoyles Rock: The mimic-type monsters with Hidden Eyes are pretending to be gargoyles fixed upon their Dramatic High Perching. But a savvy person would know a modern building housing the Genetic Project wouldn't have those kind of Sculptures decorating its exterior. Gargoyles are meant to ward off evil away from the structures they protect, but like all latex goo these are only interested in assimilating Colin.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: To their credit, they do try to blend in with the railings, but no one would be fooled by their appearance. The megastructure the game's story is set in, is a modern building (formerly a high-tech robotics company), its not Gothic architecture, and wouldn't have gargoyles installed outside by Thunder Science.
- Stock Shoutout: The male gargoyle chasing Colin makes various Stock poses of classic Sculptures. For every stomp he makes he switches forms into Auguste Rodin's Thinker Pose, then Discus Thrower (aka Discobolus), and Michelangelo Buonarroti's David.
- Taken for Granite: If they successfully capture Colin, he 'transfurs' into a part of their Living Statue form. Horrifyingly, he doesn't suffer the Death of Personality most transfurs result in, and is trapped petrified forever in their inescapable embrace.
- Variant Chess: The female monster is playing a strange game of Chess against you. She's (in her mind) a Pawn piece that when lead along from one side of the balcony to the other, promotes herself into a Queen. Becoming a larger creature, with Jiggle Physics breasts and stomps slightly faster.
Fennec Fox
Fennec Fox
Click here to see Colin's transfurmation.
A variegated latex fox that appears in the balcony outside Dr K's laboratory in the Special Edition. It has made its home in the piles of sand being used in an unfinished construction site.
- Adorable Abomination: The little goo creature is very playful when first seennote , and delightfully hops into Colin when it catches him. As it grows anthropomorphic it loses this innocence, becoming Cunning Like a Fox, and developing a mischievous temperament.
- Anthropomorphic Transformation: At first it's a small feral fox creature. After absorbing Colin, it transforms into an anthropomorphic fox. Like Sun Cat, it has shifted the body and mass of the ingested human to take control, while 'transfurring' the human into the smaller animal.
- Audience Participation: The developer put it to a 2023 poll online what monster should be encountered before the confrontation with Dr K. It won out against a Land Shark enemy that swam through the sand.
- Come Back, My Pet!: Transfurred into a puppy, Colin retains enough memories to be frightened by Fennec Fox laughing he's in its clutches. He attempts to escape. The fox is displeased and immediately follows behind to snatch him up again.
- Controllable Helplessness: Once Fennec Fox has transfurred Colin into a little puppy, there's not much the former-human can do about his predicament. He's too small to escape via the doors, and there isn't enough time to squeeze into the vents before the pursing fox is upon him. His movement in the sand is still impeded like before. Puppy Colin can only get abducted by the fox, or opt to jump into the crying Puro's arms, who takes him back to his home.
- Crisis Catch And Carry: Fennec Fox can only 'transfur' Colin if he refuses Puro's help in carrying him across the construction site. The sand hinders Colin, meaning its very difficult to avoid getting assimilated.
- Entitled to Have You: The canid creature wants Colin to become its pet after undergoing its Anthropomorphic Transformation, and refuses to allow him to escape. One of two Non-Standard Game Over screens show the fox gloating he's caught puppy Colin.
- Get Out!: After transfurring Colin, both of them have merged together. But the fox immediately dislikes the hair color of Colin's being on its head, and pulls him out of their body through the abdomen. The transfurmation leaves Colin as a helpless brown puppy the fox now smugly intends to keep forever.
- The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body: 'Transfurred' into a little adorable canine goo, Colin can no longer understand the human language, what construction materials are used for, and has the urge to pee on the trees.
- Unsuccessful Pet Adoption: If the frightened Puppy Colin jumps into Puro's arms to evade the chasing fox, the dark-latex wolf will take care of him as a pet, leaving the Fennec Fox visibly enraged at Colin's escape and rejection.
Virus Crystal Wolves
Virus Crystal Wolves
- Chest Burster: Or back burster. Horrifyingly Colin's withered corpse slumps on the testing room floor, after the virus replicates itself inside of him, and erupts out. His mind becomes the three crystal wolves, and his body's remains then melt away into dark-latex goo to make up their new forms.
- Crystal Landscape: The testing room starts to flood with dark-latex goo from a vent. It quickly becomes an Eldritch Location with portals to outer space as various crystal monsters appear; some friendly, some hostile if disturbed. Two bacteriophages form and levitate above the goo in a dormant state. If the player messes with them and pushes them beyond the gooed floor, they will awaken.
- Crystalline Creature: Like all dark-latex monsters, the crystal is their nucleus. As a virus, its a six-sided prism center with six-side pyramids on both ends. After bursting out from Colin, its grown into three octagon cabochon structured crystals. These newly-formed gems make up the upper-part of their faces.
- Developer's Foresight: If one or more of the crystals bursting from Colin lands out-of-bounds, it will not form a crystal wolf body.
- Don't Touch It, You Idiot!: It's harmless and dormant when it first materializes and leviates on the dark-latex goo floor. Colin can push the bacteriophage around, but if shoved beyond the flooded area it lands on the testing floor room, and will awaken. You do not want to wake this thing up.
- Double Consciousness: Just like the dark-latex wolf pup crystals found earlier in the Offices, that split Colin's body up into five critters, a similar 'transfurmation' occurs. Colin's identity gets split into three Crystal wolf monsters emerging from his dead body, and two of them are shocked. The third monster, is dispassionate about the whole ordeal.
- Gem Tissue: In its default state it can only form (when awakened) dark-latex legs where a bacteriophage's tail sheath and fibers would be, to move around and chase after Colin. After infecting Colin and replicating itself into three dark-latex crystal wolves, the crystal secretes goo to make up their new bodies. The new gems become their eyes and upper head.
- Gemstone Assault: A variant. When stupidly woken up by the player, it will give chase. Once it catches you, it'll latch onto Colin's back to inject and infect him with its crystalline core.
- Mega-Microbes: This bacteriophage is several magnitudes of mass and length bigger than its real-life counterpart pathogen, about the size of The Ming Cat, and will chase and infect you if you wake it up.
- Synthetic Plague: It lampshades the sheer Irony of the failed "Genetic Project" - a last-ditch endeavour to save mankind from the Pale Virus pandemic. The bioengineers looking for a cure, created the very thing they are trying to defeat: a deadly virus.
- Transformation Horror: It's the most horrific transfurmation in the game to date.
- The Virus: Like a real-life bacteriophage it cannot reproduce on its own, and needs a host body to infect and replicate itself. After injecting its code (or crystalline core in this case) the original virus now just a lifeless shell, shatters. Difference is, unlike real-life pathogens, it creates a new species of sentient anthropromorpthic dark-latex monsters, instead of more viruses to repeat the cycle.
- Viral Transformation: Colin's 'transfurmation' here is horrific. After injecting its crystalline core into the man, the dark-latex creature uses the human's internals, organs and brain as material to replicate into three separate cores that grow. Colin's back bulges as they violently burst out. Leaving behind a dead husk with Prematurely Grey-Haired. The only upside is the crystal wolves themselves aren't horrible monsters, and at least two of them are shocked at the 'transfurmation'.
- What Have I Become?: Once the bacteriophage has infected Colin as its host, he splits into three beasts. Two of the three crystal wolves that burst out are shocked at their new male and female 'transfurred' bodies. The third wolf accepts this fate, flexing his hand, looking on with disinterest.
Wendigo
Wendigo
Click here to see the mutation
A large female dark-latex creature that acts as a dendritic cell in the transforming dark-latex ecosystem. She is hostile, instinctively commanding 'macrophages' to absorb Colin, who has unwillingly intruded on her expanding 'territory'. Wendigo is found in the Testing rooms of Doctor K's laboratory in the game's Special Edition.
- Alien Blood: The beast summons tensome "macrophages" identical to the shape of red blood cells, to engulf Colin who is intruding. They float above the goo-covered floor after the human. Though slow-moving, as more appear, it becomes harder and harder to escape.
- Anthropomorphized Anatomy: Dendritic cells in your body notify your immune system of bacterial invasions and viral infections. Wendigo is one such being in the greater dark-latex ecosystem, that alerts other non-anthropomorphized dark-latex entities to foreign bodies and absorb them.
- Artistic License – Biology: The macrophages she summons take the shape and form of Mammalian (human) Red blood cells with no nucleus. Their primary function inside an organism is delivering oxygen to the body tissues through the circulatory system. They don't fight infections as real macrophages do, and the latter recycles their components when they come to the end of their lifespan.
- Crystal Landscape: The testing room starts to flood with dark-latex goo from a vent. It quickly becomes an Eldritch Location with bacteriophage creatures and portals to outer space as various crystal monsters appear; some friendly, some hostile if disturbed. Eventually it becomes a Womb Level and the creatures here are anthropomorphized cells living out their lives, within a greater unseen otherworldly beast.
- Crystalline Creature: Like all dark-latex monsters, the crystal core is her nucleus. If Colin makes enough of a disturbance in the dark-latex ecosystem, her large gem manifests above a portal. The goo will rise up to form the body, and the gem makes up her crystalline face, with Tsurime Eyes and antlers, spreading to her abdomen. Colin will become her subordinate, with his own smaller gem, and Cartoony Eyes if he allows himself to get "transfurred".
- Dimensional Traveler: Heavily implied this creature is not of this Earth, the emerging portals filled with "stars" simply being extraterrestrial having greater implications for the 'creation' of the latex beasts and their true origins. note
- Don't Wake the Sleeper: If Colin remains stationary, she will not show up. Its only by messing around with the tiny crystals forming over the goo by running into them over and over, that ultimately causes a ricocheting cascade that wakes up her to investigate what the commotion is.
- Humanity Is Infectious: She's alarmed and revulsed by Colin upon sight. Justified as she fulfills the function of a dendritic cell in this bizarre extra-dimensional/organic Crystal Landscape to repel invaders. To her the human, not the Crystal Viruses, is the dangerous foreign microbe in an unseen gargantuan Blob Monster.
- Irony: In desperation against the unstoppable Pale Virus pandemic, Mankind crossed the Godzilla Threshold by turning to the latex monsters for salvation. What do these creatures view humans as? An infection - one that needs to stop existing immediately and become a part of the bigger whole.
- It's What I Do: Though hostile, she's not evil. Merely seeing Colin, his humanity, and individuality as an error in the vast Hive Mind that must be captured and corrected.
- Mega-Microbes: The creature and the "macrophages" are several magnitudes of mass and length bigger than their real-life counterparts. Wendigo is imposing, standing at half the height of Hyena, and her minions having the same mass as Colin each, as they stretch and deform around him when absorbing him.
- Mutants: There is a low chance that once captured by one of Wendigo's "macrophages", the crystal core is unable after several attempts to fuse with his main body. A benign mutation occurs. The gem cracks into white goo, leaping into the human to make up his breasts. Colin 'transfurs' into a light-latex creature. note The Non-Standard Game Over screen shows the former-human revelling in his new form, but over where the light-latex beasts are forming, implying Wendigo kicked him out.
- Seeker White Blood Cells: Wendigo reacts to Colin's presence with surprise and revulsion, believing him to be an invading threat to the dark goo Womb Level she is part of, ordering the "macrophages" to assimilate him immediately.
- Transformation Horror: The "macrophages" when they catch Colin leap onto him and shrink-wrap tightly around his whole body, from head-to-toe with their cellular structure, leaving the man writhing in a zombie-state unable to move from the spot, until the crystal core manifests.
- Wendigo: She is modeled after the wendigo of tribal mythology, having the appearance of a dark-latex wolf, but with the ears of a deer and antlers on her mask. The supernatural aspect of the monster is invoked by her Dimensional Traveler entrance, with greater implications for where the sentient latex originates from.
Silkworms and Bugtaur
Silkworms and Bugtaur
- Atrocious Arthropods: The end result of their 'transfurmation' has Colin change into a Bug centaur-like creature instead of a moth. How it nurtures the silkworms though, is gross.
- Big Creepy-Crawlies: Not so much when they're sleeping peacefully but when actively chasing you, what they do to Colin next is disgusting. At least the Bugtaur affectionately carrying their young is depicted as lighthearted.
- Death from Above: Once awakened they string-shot themselves up to the ceiling of the Testing rooms, and only their shadows are visible. They're undeterred by the unbreakable glass walls that imprison Colin. Just like the annoying Circle in the original game, they will chase after the player in this area, and catch him if he doesn't quickly escape.
- Don't Touch It, You Idiot!: If anything bumps into their cocoon, they'll wake up and pursue the player. At this point, you're still playing the Control Room Puzzle with the roomba, and You Are Already Dead. Worse still, the roomba you need to unlock the doors to the next area can become Unwanted Assistance, when it also accidentally bumps into these cocoons.
- Don't Wake the Sleeper: The silkworms only want to be left alone, and when disturbed will punish you by turning Colin into a Spawn Broodling, so they'll have somewhere (or someone) to sleep in again.
- Monster Is a Mommy: Overlaps with Spawn Broodling. The first rudely-awakened silkworm will 'transfur' Colin into a Bugtaur. They'll be in a catatonic state if more latex infants haven't awakened. If the player through bad luck, or curiosity, provokes all the resident goos they'll make Colin into their parental Spawn Broodling, and crawl inside him to rest. The former-human is delighted to be their host.
- Orifice Invasion: After Colin's 'transfurred' into a Bugtaur monster, the rest of them force their way into its abdomen (where the anus would be), crawling up to the thorax (stomach).
- Transformation Horror: Their 'transfurmation' of Colin is just nasty and really drives home the fact there's some latex creatures you don't want to mess with.
Headless Knight
Headless Knight
- Adorable Abomination: The incomplete Blob Monster only wants to be with Colin once awoken. Unlike White Knight, the beast allows him to keep as much of his sentience as possible, when they become a centaur together. Once assimilated it happily wags its tail independently, while Colin becomes the upper-half of their new body and looks on confused with the change.
- Don't Wake the Sleeper: Headless Knight only attacks Colin if he goes near it, disturbing its sleep. Should he stay away, it remains docile.
- I Just Want to Be Normal: It appears to be deformed, as it isn't anthropomorphic and also has no head. Its Game Over screen has it testing out its new arms and eyes, happy to finally be complete.
- Logical Weakness: Because it has no head (and thus no eyes, nose or ears), it can't tell Colin's present unless he gets too close to it. Once disturbed, it will employ Mysterious Animal Senses to chase after the human, who now can't escape due to the beast's close proximity.
- Luring in Prey: They try to blend in with the forming sponge-reef and sea-floor fauna the other light-latexes are mimicking in the Special Edition though their Paper-Thin Disguise is revealed as they take form.
- Misplaced Wildlife: In the Special Edition Headless Knight emerges from white latex pouring out of a vent in the testing rooms, alongside aquatic light-latex monsters.
- Our Centaurs Are Different: Upon 'transfurring' Colin, he fuses with the human to become a centaur-like wolf latex beast.
YY
YY
- Adorable Abomination: They're just a sweet little latex goo. Even Puro, though unamused by their half-hearted attempt to absorb Colin, doesn't attack in retaliation. Instead the wolf puts YY back in the vents. Colin notices later the little one watching them both from their home with innocent eyes.
- Creator Cameo: A fursona of one of the game's testers.
- Filching Food for Fun: YY is always tricking and stealing food off Doctor K. Despite his best efforts, he can't catch or stop the little monster. Frustrated, the scientist begins leaving angry notes above the creature's home threatening to catch them next time.
- Objectshifting: They're known to have mimicked tin cans of food, to trick and steal more food off K. After YY pretended to be a meal one evening, the incident put the doctor off microwavable dinners for a long time.
- Press X to Not Die: Defied. Colin, in the company of Puro, gets pounced upon by the little latex monster. Doesn't matter what the player does, because onlooking Puro effortlessly lifts the monster off Colin's head, with a deadpan expression, averting the 'crisis'.
- The Thing That Would Not Leave: Dr K does not appreciate YY's company, not even bothering to tame them. He cannot get this little thieving creature to leave him or his supplies alone.
