Monsters are at the core of Content Warning, as without them, there would be nothing scary to film for SpöökTube!
This primer is an all-encompassing bestiary for the new viral sensation Content Warning, with tips and tricks on escaping the game's ghastly monstrosities.
Angler
Description: A massive angler fish with long, skinny arms and fingers. Lures its prey with mimics.
How to escape: Don't chase after the imposters or get too close to the Angler.
Big Slap
Description: A humanoid monster with sharp teeth whose entire body is creepily disproportionate. Enjoys delivering slaps.
How to escape: Don't let it see you.
Bombs
Description: A Cthulhu-like humanoid horror that tosses bombs and will blow itself up if it means taking you down with it!
How to escape: Bait it into attacking you with bombs, and when it starts preparing to explode, run away and get behind cover before it detonates.
Barnacle Ball
Description: A sizable barnacle with four tentacle-like appendages. Capable of close and long-range attacks.
How to escape: Keep a safe distance from it, and try to put structures and objects between you and it so it can't suck you toward it or hit you with its toxic shots.
Dog
Description: A robot with four legs and a turret on its back that resembles the robodogs from the Metalhead episode of Black Mirror.
How to escape: Stay out of its line of sight.
Ear
Description: A four-legged creature with a giant ear serving as its head.
How to escape: Be extremely quiet. If it spots you, scream into your mic to scare it away.
EyeGuy
Description: A humanoid monster with multiple eyeballs for a head and pointy claw-like hands.
How to escape: Avoid pointing your flashlight at its eyes, and it won't turn hostile.
Flicker
Description: A jellyfish-like monster with a harpoon-like device impaled through the top of it. Wanders invisible before emitting a mind-controlling red light.
How to escape: Extremely dangerous. If you suspect a Flicker is around, immediately leave the area and try to stare at the floor or the ceiling. If you see a Flicker, it's already too late.
Harpoon/Knife (also known as Ghost)
Description: Resembles a child in a makeshift ghost costume holding a knife.
How to escape: If you can dodge its first few attacks, it'll disappear.
Jello
Description: Resembles a half-slug, half-snail hybrid made of gelatin.
How to escape: Not much of a threat. Just don't touch it!
Larva
Description: A frightening centipede-like monster with arms and hands that it uses to grab and hurl players.
How to escape: While the Larva is intimidating, you can easily outrun it, but make sure you preserve your stamina!
Mouthe
Description: A funny-looking humanoid monster with a big mouth!
How to escape: If a Mouthe approaches you, back away from it and go somewhere else, and it probably won't follow. It seems to target lone players, in particular.
Slurper
Description: Closely resembles a starfish.
How to escape: Keep an eye out for Slurpers on the ceilings of the Old World. You can toss objects at it to bait the ropes it shoots out or save a teammate in its grips.
Snatcho
Description: A reptilian-like monster with long, skinny limbs and a tiny head.
How to escape: Shine a light directly at the Snatcho to make it disappear.
Spider
Description: A mutant spider.
How to escape: Run away from it and avoid its webs.
Toolkit
Description: A humanoid monster that can appear with a whisk, fan, hammer, iron, or a vacuum for a head.
How to escape: Bait and dodge its charge attacks.
Weeping
Description: A living iron maiden torture device.
How to escape: Instruct your teammates to solve the CAPTCHA.
Zombie
Description: An anthropomorphic snail that walks upright.
How to escape: Stay away from it. It moves at a snail's pace, so don't let it corner you.
