Class-3
Phantom Smiler
A static grin-pattern entity embedded in the geometry. Emits no audio and pursues no pathfinding; functions as a recurring psychological pressure cue.
Algorithmic behavior
Does not pursue. Appears at corridor junctions and structural seams as a flashing grin pattern. Reliant on reflective eye-shine for visibility under the Flashlight.
Evasion strategy
No avoidance protocol - this entity does not move. Treat as a stress marker and continue transit.
