Red Fanatic

-- NIGHTMARE INDEX --

• TYPE: ENTITY
• TIER: 3
• METHOD: Uses her massive greatsword to obliterate anyone who stands before her. Entity has some connection to some greater power, but we are not sure what.
• ----------------------------
• Filled with hatred and emptiness, she allowed the sword to guide her hand. The roots tore into her soul, and now lead her to destroy whatever lies within her path. It seems her lord watches over her through the holes in the ground.

• After spawning, Red Fanatic will slowly patrol towards players. Red Fanatic cannot be stunned.
• When spotting players, she will speed up to chase. Red Fanatic has three main attacks they perform in their first phase; and she will slow down to perform these attacks except for her leap. Getting hit by Red Fanatic's attacks inflicts Infection.
• Slash
  Red Fanatic swings their sword, inflicting moderate damage.
• Slam
  Red Fanatic slams their sword down, stopping themselves.
• Leap Slam
  Red Fanatic leaps, then slams their sword down, dealing heavy damage. This can be performed at a distance as well.
• After 90 seconds, she will phase transition into her second form, eyes opening and burning while bells begin to toll. Three Pitfalls will spawn and begin attacking players.
• Triple Slash
  Red Fanatic swings their sword thrice, inflicting moderate damage each time.
• Slam
  Red Fanatic stops, then dashes forwards for a hit.
• Leap Slam
  Red Fanatic leaps, then slams their sword down, dealing heavy damage. It is performed much quicker than phase 1's version.
• Divinity
  Red Fanatic stops, raises their sword, then causes a small burst of infection around themselves. The player they are currently targeting will get a quick indicator and must move to avoid being pierced by a spike that deals moderate damage, inflicts bleed and halts movement, the same as The Restless' spikes.
• Pitfalls are invisible, and can appear underneath players or near players, slowing them down and draining HP if ontop of them. They have three attacks they can perform.
• Chomp
  Pitfall will manifest, then attempt to bite players standing over it; instantly killing players and bypassing protection.
• Claws
  Pitfall will manifest, then raise its two arms out and spin them, clawing any players for low damage while inflicting bleed and slowing them down.
• Infection Spew
  Pitfall will manifest and only its eyes will be visible. It will then begin spewing infection for around 7 seconds, causing nearby players in the area to become infected before vanishing.
• ----------------------------
• Red Fanatic is an OC by Beyond based on Nintendo Mii's.
• The model itself is based off an unused model from Dillon's Dead-Heat Breakers of a pre-made Mii based off Kaori Miyachi, the Coordinator of Nintendo. Additionally, "Coordinator" used to be Red Fanatic's name.
• Red Fanatic's sword is infected with the Arrival Infection. It is also inspired by Erlking Heathcliff's sword from Limbus Company
• Red Fanatic was reworked & rewritten with the May 2026 patch.
• Red Fanatic is linked to Arrival & The Restless, utilizing the same infection they have. She serves a greater being known as the Husk Lord, who will appear in ToN:BR. Husk Lord is also the creature inside Pitfalls, reaching through them.
• It is implied Red Fanatic becomes The Restless through being consumed by infection.
• Pitfall was originally created for the 2023 Halloween event prior to its cancellation. It was then almost readded for Terrors of Nowhere's release, but was scrapped for being too boring to have it’s own round.
• Pitfall can be seen in Terrors of Nowhere's release trailer.
