Smiler

Smilers are hostile entities, recognizable by their signature reflective eyes and gleaming teeth. These entities only appear in dark corners or doorways, where the rest of their form is not visible. Sighting of these entities are among the most common in the Backrooms. It is speculated that these entities do not have bodies; rather, the darkness is their bodies; however, some researchers beg to differ.

Behavior

Smilers are attracted to light, similar to Death Moths, and will chase after anything remotely bright, lunging at any source of light they see (Turning on a flashlight in front of a Smiler will have the Smiler lunge at you). If you engage with the entity, be sure to have a good throwing hand; if your throw is weak, the Smiler will simply lunge at you.

The Smiler are typically passive creatures but sudden noises or motion (from panicking or retreating), will make them highly aggressive. When seeing a Smiler, it is best to stare it down and retreat. Do not blink.

Smilers have a rivalry with Frowners and Rattlers and will go out of their way to attack them, even abandoning their wanderer target.
