Appearance

The Tendril appears as a massive purple blob with protruding tentacles of the same color, resting on top of the patient sitting on the surgery table in Room 8 which is a surgery room.

Behavior

When a patient is recovering from a surgery, there is a chance that the patient will state that they feel strange and The Tendril appear, starting an emergency event with a timer notifying the player that a Monster has emerged in Room 8. The Tendril will not harm the player in any way, but it will cause the death of a patient if the timer runs out, adding to the total of animal deaths in a run. Upon starting the surgery, the timer will not reset to 45 seconds, but will instead continue until either time runs out or the surgery is complete.

Strategy

  • To get rid of the Tendril, a player must perform surgery on the patient to remove it.

  • This specific surgery will always follow this order: Scissors, Transplant, Scissors, Transplant, 3 Random Treatments.

  • Shooting, tasering, or offering coffee to the Tendril will automatically kill the patient, so it is not recommended to take this approach.
