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.
