The Observation

-- NIGHTMARE INDEX --

• TYPE: ASCENDED ENTITY
• TIER: 8
• METHOD: PARALYSIS, SIGNS, "BLACK BRANCH"
• ----------------------------
• Yearning for guidance,
  they blindly navigate.
  But their demise is imminent,
  a fate they can't escape.
  A greater force looms,
  one I deeply despite,
  Accursed futile struggles,
  beneath my watchful eyes.

-- EXTRA INFO --

• Music: Lappy - Heart of Corruption
• Death Tip: "You were executed by the Observation."
• Death Tip (Branch): "You were killed by the Observation's Black Branch."
• ----------------------------
• The Observation spawns with 200 on the timer. The Observation consists of two phases, and cannot be stunned in either of them.
• In its first phase, The Observation will follow players very slowly; randomly changing targets. If no players are around it, it will silently teleport nearby a player in a small puff of black particles. If The Observation reaches a player, it will impale them with a sign, lifting them up before many more signs execute the player captured. This attack does not instantly kill the player, but instead hits them four times very quickly which will usually kill the player if hit by all of them and will bypass Kat Charm Shield; though if the player is lucky, they can escape it. After this, The Observation will find a new target.
• After 87 seconds of being active, The Observation will activate its 2nd phase. The Guidance, The Navigator, and three BooBooBabies will spawn at the Thorn; and The Observation will change visually, gaining glowing eyes and an angelic halo.
• The Observation speeds up slightly in its 2nd phase, and will begin applying Paralysis to the person it is targeting every 10 seconds, alongside a short hallucination effect. This can also affect nearby players, and there is a light particle indication prior to the effect happening around the player he's targeting. This usually will lead to the player being targeted being at the mercy of The Observation unless The Observation either changes targets or is lured away by another player. Additionally, The Observations now indicates its teleport with a voice clip, and occasionally will talk while chasing.
• The Observation also possesses a rare attack that it may do instead of its execution, where it will summon its "Black Branch" and begin dashing around wildly before jumping and smashing the ground, causing a blackout of the entire map for a moment. While dashing, the map is darkened, and players hit by its dash will take medium amounts of damage rapidly, with a chance of instantly killing the player, while also inflicting paralysis. The final smash AOE it does will also bypass Kat Charm Shield.
• The Guidance spawned by the Observation has a higher chance to use Red Light, and purposely avoids players, which may catch them off guard. Besides that, this Guidance functions the same as the normal one.
• The Navigator functions as a line of sight rampage killer, after being enraged it will remain enraged for around 8 seconds. If in that time it spots another player, it will continue its chase; else it will calm down. The Navigator will also passively create more BooBooBabies, and up to 6 can spawn in a round.
• The BooBooBabies spawned by The Observation will roam the map completely randomly, but occasionally running up to players. Every so often, they will trip and fall on their face. If this happens to be in front of a player, they will take minor damage and have their item stolen. When tripping, a trap called a Sign is placed. BooBooBabies can be killed by stunning them, and it is heavily recommended to destroy them as early as possible, as each BooBooBaby will spawn a Sign each time they fall, which can make a map very difficult to navigate quickly.
• Signs will attack if a player steps over their roots, impaling players with a bunch of signs. They deal very little damage, but inflict Slowness for 10 seconds on hit. Once a sign has attacked, it will retract its roots temporarily for around 5 seconds. It can be safely crossed while its roots are inside. After that, it will spread its roots out again. After a Sign has been placed, it cannot be destroyed, and up to 30 Signs total can be placed.

• Surviving The Observation will give you an achievement and the Have Plush.
• The Observation is the replacement for The Navigator, who is also featured in this round.
• Additionally, The Navigator is the only non-removed killer with a 'Legacy' achievement in ToN as of 1.15
• The Observation is based on Have's roblox avatar, and an inside joke regarding Scarab Beetles.
• The BooBooBaby is based on drawing done of the Guidance labeled "booboo baby", which became an avatar modeled by Beyond and has been a running joke. However, the BooBooBaby seen in ToN is modeled by Have; who has also uploaded it as a public avatar.
• The sounds BooBooBabies make is sampled from the Axolotl from Minecraft.
• The sounds used for Black Branch are taken from The Black Silence from Library of Ruina.
• The Observation is the fifth killer created using the Stickman Base created by nkt_にこまる, and the Observation itself was made by Have.
• The Index entries of Observation were used to tease its addition. Additionally, the "true absolute" referred to in its entry is that of death itself.
• There was originally a second verse intended for the death screen, which would have read: " REJECT IT’S DIRECTIONS. FOLLOW ONLY MINE. I AM THE TEACHER, A PROPHET, A SIGN. LESS YOU KNOW YOUR PLACE IN THE FOREST'S ROOTS. YOU WILL COME TO LEARN THE ONLY TRUE ABSOLUTE.
