Another scary entity you need to watch out for is the partygoer. These funny-looking, and tall entities usually hunt together in large groups or packs. They have the appearance of partygoers, hence their name, and have a simple smiley face without any defined features.
Once partygoers attack humans in the game, they generally take them out by their tiny sharp teeth which can infect you with their venom.

You might also find it useful to know that these partygoers are known to be cunning while hunting, so be careful when you spot them.

In the entire game, wretches are the closest to humans among all the entities. But this does not mean that they are less harmful. Wretches are zombie-like creatures that were in fact properly functioning humans before lack of water and food drove them to turn into wretches.
These creatures lurk around in all the levels to look for food and other humans so that they can prey on them and turn more of them into wretches.
11. Bone Thief
By far, the way the bone thieves attack and eat players is the scariest. They are quite large in size and hence do not move around too much. So their strategy includes making sounds that resemble that of humans which makes players come close to them.
A bone thief is usually like a huge sluggish creature that has a large mouth that opens very wide. Its eyeballs are placed inside the mouth where if any player looks into it, your bones will vanish automatically and only a puddle of flesh is what will be left of you. Then this bone thief swallows you up in a gulp. Scary right? When you see one of these bone thieves, make sure you turn away as soon as possible and run the other way.
