DOORS Entities Bestiary: Every Entity, How to Survive, and What They Drop (2026)

Last updated: May 10, 2026. Covers all entities from The Hotel (Doors 1-100), The Mines (Doors 101-200), The Outdoors, Rush Mode, and Endless Mode. Updated for The Great Outdoors permanent update, the Visions tab modifiers, and the upcoming Archives Update (expected May/June 2026).

What Are Entities in DOORS?

Entities are the monsters, anomalies, helpers, and environmental hazards you encounter while navigating through DOORS. Each entity has its own unique behavior patterns, warning signs, and survival mechanics. Some are hostile and will kill you on sight. Others are helpful and guide you to safety. A few are purely cosmetic or atmospheric.

Understanding every entity is the single most important skill for surviving DOORS. Unlike many horror games where you simply run from monsters, DOORS requires you to recognize specific audio and visual cues and respond with the correct survival action within seconds. Misidentifying a Rush as an Ambush (or vice versa) is the difference between a clean run and a game over.

This comprehensive bestiary covers every known entity across all floors, organized by location and threat level. For a general introduction to the game, see our DOORS Beginner Guide.

Entity Classification System

Before diving into individual entities, it helps to understand how they are categorized:

THE HOTEL ENTITIES (Doors 1-100)

Rush

The first entity you meet and the most common throughout every run.

Detailed Behavior:

Rush moves through rooms at extremely high speed. It originates from the direction of the next door and sweeps through the current room before exiting through the previous door. The entire encounter lasts only 2-3 seconds from warning to completion.

Survival Strategy:

1. When lights begin flickering, immediately identify the closest hiding spot – do not waste time searching for the “best” one
2. Run to it and enter – speed matters more than perfection
3. Wait for the whooshing sound to pass and the lights to return to normal
4. Exit and continue

Important Notes:

• Rush always comes from the forward direction (the direction you are heading)
• In rooms with multiple hiding spots, pick the closest one
• Rush can appear back-to-back with other entities or even other Rushes
• In Rush Mode, all entities take Rush’s appearance and sound

Ambush

The multi-pass entity that kills more beginners than any other.

Detailed Behavior:

Ambush functions similarly to Rush but with a critical difference: it bounces back and forth multiple times before departing. The number of passes varies (typically 2-6 passes), and each pass is announced by the same flickering lights and sound cue.

Survival Strategy:

1. On the extended light flicker, recognize this is Ambush (not Rush) and hide immediately
2. Do not exit between passes – this is the #1 cause of death to Ambush
3. Count the passes if possible; expect 2-6 total
4. Only exit when lights are completely normal and no sound is heard for several seconds

Why Ambush Is So Deadly:

The extended flicker warning is the main clue that distinguishes Ambush from Rush. If you hide and then peek out after the first pass thinking it is over, Ambush will hit you on the second pass. Always assume there will be at least 2 passes. In multiplayer, coordinate so nobody exits early and draws Ambush’s attention.

Screech

The invisible parasite that lurks in dark rooms.

Detailed Behavior:

Screech attaches itself to players in dark rooms. It is invisible and cannot be seen or fought directly. When you hear the whispering sound, Screech has latched onto you and begins biting, dealing small but cumulative damage.

Survival Strategy:

1. The moment you hear whispering, spin your camera in all directions quickly
2. Keep moving your view until the whispering sound stops and you hear a hiss
3. If you have a light source (flashlight, lighter), turn it on to prevent Screech from spawning

Pro Tip: Screech can attach to you while you are hiding in a closet if the room is dark. Always keep moving your camera even when hidden. Keeping a light source on at all times is the best prevention.

Seek

The chase entity that triggers a high-speed hallway sequence.

Detailed Behavior:

Seek triggers a long, cinematic chase sequence. A massive black entity pursues you through a procedurally generated series of hallways, doors, and obstacles. The chase is not about hiding – it is about movement, navigation, and quick reactions.

Survival Strategy:

1. When the cutscene triggers, start running immediately
2. Follow the glowing white arrows on the floor for direction
3. Look for floating white hands pointing the correct way
4. Press Space to jump over fallen furniture and obstacles
5. In rooms with multiple exits, Seek’s hands will point to the correct door
6. At the end of the chase, you will reach a room with a door covered in hands – open it to escape

Key Obstacles During the Chase:

Figure (Hotel – Doors 50 & 100)

The blind hunter boss – the most complex entity in The Hotel.

Figure is blind. It hunts purely by sound. Every footstep, every interaction, every run creates noise that Figure can hear. This makes Figure the most mechanically complex entity in DOORS.

Door 50 – The Library Encounter:

Door 100 – The Electrical Room (Final Hotel Boss):

Figure Survival Tips:

• Always crouch-walk (hold C) when Figure is active – running creates loud noise
• Hide in closets when you hear Figure approaching
• Hold Space to hold your breath when Figure is very close to you
• Figure is blind – it hunts purely by sound, not sight
• Interacting with items (picking up books, flipping switches) makes noise – time these when Figure is far away
• If you are playing with others, coordinate to split up and find items faster
• The Door 100 circuit breaker pattern can be broken into smaller chunks to memorize (groups of 2-3)
• Never run in Figure rooms – even when Figure seems far away

Dupe

The fake door entity that punishes the inattentive.

Detailed Behavior:

Dupe creates a room with multiple doors, each displaying a different number. Only one door is correct – the one that matches your current door count (or the next sequential number). Entering the wrong door triggers damage and spawns Dupe to attack.

Survival Strategy:

1. Count your current door number before entering the room
2. Look at the numbers displayed on each door
3. Only enter the door with the correct sequential number
4. If unsure, wait a moment – the correct door sometimes has subtle visual differences (slightly brighter number)

Pro Tip: In rooms with Dupe, always check the door numbers before committing. A wrong door costs HP and wastes time. With 3+ doors, the correct number is often in the middle position, but do not rely on this – always verify.

Halt

The entity that makes you go backward to go forward.

Detailed Behavior:

Halt traps you in a hallway that appears to stretch infinitely forward. The visual cue is that the hallway looks “wrong” – glitchy textures, impossible perspective, or a general sense that something is off. The walls may appear to pulse or the floor may look distorted.

Survival Strategy:

1. Recognize the glitchy hallway – something feels “off” about the perspective
2. Turn around and run backward the way you came (do not just walk – run)
3. After retreating far enough (about halfway back), the hallway resets to normal
4. Continue forward through the now-normal hallway

Why Halt Kills: The counterintuitive mechanic catches many players. Pushing forward in a Halt hallway slowly drains your health until you die. The instinct to keep moving forward is exactly what kills you.

Eyes

The floating eyeballs that damage on contact.

Detailed Behavior:

Eyes spawns multiple floating eyeballs scattered throughout a room. They are stationary obstacles that damage you if you walk into them. They are clearly visible and pose no threat if you pay attention to your surroundings.

Survival Strategy:

• Simply navigate around the eyeballs
• They are clearly visible, so this is more about awareness than reflexes
• In dark rooms, use a light source to see them clearly
• Eyes can sometimes block your path to containers – plan your route

Jack

The jumpscare entity that hides in plain sight.

Detailed Behavior:

Jack is a creepy face that appears when you open certain containers, lockers, or doors. It is purely cosmetic – it startles you but causes no damage. Some players consider it an easter egg entity rather than a true threat.

Note: Jack does not affect gameplay in any way. It is simply a scare. However, the jumpscare can cause you to make mistakes (like running into the open during a Figure encounter), so stay calm.

Shadow

The mysterious silhouette that appears briefly.

Detailed Behavior:

Shadow appears as a brief, dark humanoid figure in corners or doorways. It vanishes almost instantly. Like Jack, it is purely cosmetic and does not affect gameplay. Some community theories suggest Shadow may be connected to the game’s lore.

Guiding Light (Friendly Entity)

The helpful blue light that guides and protects players.

Detailed Behavior:

Guiding Light is the only consistently friendly entity in the game. It appears as streams of blue light that point to important items, highlight the correct path, and can heal or revive players.

How to Trigger Guiding Light:

• Camp (wait) for 3-4 minutes in a room before entering a puzzle area
• It commonly appears before Door 50 (The Library) and Door 100 (Electrical Room)
• In multiplayer, it can revive dead players who are lying on the ground
• It highlights important items like keys, fuses, and books with a blue glow

Pro Tip: If you are struggling with a puzzle, camp before the room to summon Guiding Light. It will highlight the solution path and make the encounter significantly easier.

Void

The existential entity that exists between rooms.

Detailed Behavior:

Void is a rare anomaly where the room’s geometry seems to disappear, revealing an infinite dark void beneath. It is more of an atmospheric/horror element than a mechanical threat, but falling into the void can kill you. Stay near the center of the room and wait for it to resolve.

Sally

The environmental decoration entity.

Detailed Behavior:

Sally is a small decorative entity that appears in certain rooms. It does not interact with the player and has no gameplay effect. It adds to the atmosphere and lore of The Hotel.

Timothy

The drawer spider that provides a cheap scare.

Detailed Behavior:

Timothy is a tiny spider that jumps out of drawers when you open them. It is purely a jumpscare with minimal damage. The “Meet Timothy” achievement is earned by encountering him. Check every drawer anyway – the loot is worth the tiny risk.

Glitch

The game-breaking entity that warps reality.

Detailed Behavior:

Glitch is a rare anomaly that causes the game to behave unexpectedly. It may skip rooms, distort visuals, change door numbers, or cause other unusual effects. It is largely uncontrollable from the player’s perspective. Some players report that Glitch can be beneficial (skipping difficult rooms) or harmful (soft-locking progress).

Snare

The disguised door trap.

Detailed Behavior:

Snare disguises itself as a normal door. When you walk through the affected door, Snare triggers and deals damage. The visual cue is subtle – the door texture may look slightly wrong, warped, or have a different color palette.

Survival Strategy:

1. Before walking through any door, inspect it visually for a split second
2. Look for texture distortions, unusual colors, or anything that seems “off”
3. If a door looks suspicious, find an alternative path or wait for a teammate to check first
4. Snare doors may have a slightly different sheen or reflection – train your eye to spot it

THE MINES ENTITIES (Doors 101-200)

Figure (The Mines Variant)

The Mines version of Figure is significantly more dangerous and appears multiple times.

The Adit (Door 101):

Figure appears immediately but is blind and less aggressive initially. You must find 2 Fuses for the generator while Figure patrols the area. This serves as an introduction to Mines Figure mechanics.

Generator Rooms:

Figure may spawn during generator room encounters. You need to find Fuses and install them while Figure hunts by sound. Crouch-walking is essential.

The Nest (Door 200) – Final Mines Boss:

Mines Figure vs Hotel Figure:

Giggle

The ceiling-dropping rock entity.

Detailed Behavior:

Giggle causes rocks to fall from the ceiling of Mines rooms. The entity itself is not visible, but its presence is announced by audio cues. Multiple rocks can fall simultaneously, creating a hazard zone.

Survival Strategy:

1. Listen for the low growl/ping sound
2. Immediately look up at the ceiling
3. Move away from falling rocks – do not stand still
4. Keep checking the ceiling regularly in The Mines
5. Rocks leave a brief shadow before falling – use this to dodge

Gloombats

The light-sensitive bat swarm.

Detailed Behavior:

Gloombats are swarms of bats that attack players in dark areas of The Mines. They are repelled by any light source. The darkness of The Mines makes Gloombats significantly more threatening than their Hotel counterparts.

Survival Strategy:

• Always keep a light source active in dark Mines rooms
• Glowsticks are especially effective (AoE light that covers a larger area)
• If you do not have a light source, move through dark areas quickly
• Bulklight from Jeff’s Shop provides the strongest and longest-lasting light
• Gloombats cannot spawn in lit rooms – prevention is the best strategy

Grumble

The wandering hunter of The Mines.

Detailed Behavior:

Grumble wanders through The Mines rooms actively searching for players. Unlike Figure, Grumble can see you, so hiding in dark spots is not enough – you need to break its line of sight by using physical obstacles.

Survival Strategy:

1. When you hear Grumble approaching, find cover behind walls or objects
2. Break its line of sight by moving behind obstacles
3. Sneak past when it is looking in another direction
4. Do not run – running attracts attention
5. Use the environment (pillars, walls, furniture) as cover

Hide

The entity that forces you to stay in hiding longer than usual.

Detailed Behavior:

Hide functions similarly to Rush but requires players to stay hidden for an extended period. The key difference from Rush is that leaving your hiding spot too early triggers damage. The flicker warning is longer than Rush but shorter than Ambush.

Survival Strategy:

• When lights flicker, hide as you would for Rush
• Wait longer than you think before exiting – at least 5-10 seconds after lights return to normal
• If you are unsure whether it was Rush or Hide, treat it as Hide and wait extra

Snare (Mines Variant)

The Mines version of the door trap entity.

The Mines Snare works identically to the Hotel version. Inspect doors before walking through them. The Mines’ darker environment can make Snare doors harder to spot, so keep your light source active.

A-90

The fast Rooms-style entity.

Detailed Behavior:

A-90 is an entity inspired by the classic Roblox game Rooms. It sweeps through rooms at high speed with multi-pass mechanics similar to Ambush. The “90” indicates its approximate speed – it is fast and gives little warning time.

Survival Strategy:

• Treat it like Ambush – hide and expect multiple passes
• A-90 arrives faster than Ambush, giving less warning time
• The red visual distortion is the key identifier
• Red warning time means you need to react faster than for Ambush

A-120

The slow Rooms-style entity with more passes.

Detailed Behavior:

A-120 is similar to A-90 but slower and with potentially more passes. The “120” indicates it is slower than A-90. The combination of speed and pass count makes it dangerous in a different way.

Survival Strategy:

• Hide and expect more passes than A-90 (potentially 4-8 passes)
• The slower approach gives more warning but the extra passes demand patience
• Do not exit early – A-120 is known for lulling players into false security

THE OUTDOORS ENTITIES

Groundskeeper

The lawn-patrolling entity that enforces the grass rule.

Detailed Behavior:

The Groundskeeper patrols the garden areas of The Outdoors. Its primary mechanic is simple but deadly: if you step on grass while the Groundskeeper can see you, you die instantly.

Survival Strategy:

1. Always stay on paved paths – this is the golden rule of The Outdoors
2. If you must cross grass, wait until the Groundskeeper is looking away or is far enough
3. Use monuments and structures for cover when crossing open areas
4. The Groundskeeper points at monuments as its patrol behavior – use this to track its attention

Mandrake

The screaming plant that must be contained.

Detailed Behavior:

When a Mandrake is disturbed, it begins screaming. The scream deals escalating damage over time. You must find the Mandrake and return it to its designated hole to stop the screaming.

Survival Strategy:

1. When you hear the scream, locate the Mandrake quickly
2. Pick it up and carry it to its hole
3. Place it back in the hole to silence the scream
4. Act quickly – the scream’s damage escalates rapidly
5. In multiplayer, coordinate so one player handles the Mandrake while others watch for other threats

Monument

The pillar-like entity that can possess players.

Detailed Behavior:

Monuments are tall pillar structures that can activate and potentially possess or control players. The exact mechanics are still being explored by the community, but avoiding activation zones and staying alert is the best strategy.

Surge

The energy-based entity of The Outdoors.

Detailed Behavior:

Surge creates energy-based hazards in The Outdoors. When a surge event occurs, you need to find safe zones or shelter to avoid the electrical damage. The visual cues are bright energy effects and crackling sounds.

Caws

The bird entities that can be fed for achievements.

Detailed Behavior:

Caws are bird-like entities that wander The Outdoors. They are harmless and can be fed Bread for an achievement. Finding Bread in The Outdoors is part of the exploration challenge.

World Lotus

The final entity of The Outdoors hedge maze.

Detailed Behavior:

The World Lotus is the final challenge of The Outdoors. Located at the center of the hedge maze, it requires you to collect 8 Lotus Petals scattered throughout The Outdoors to craft a Lotus Flower. The Lotus Flower can be used for revival or to escape.

Survival Strategy:

1. Explore The Outdoors thoroughly to find all 8 Lotus Petals
2. Each petal is hidden in different locations – some require puzzle-solving
3. Once all 8 are collected, craft the Lotus Flower at the designated location
4. Use the Lotus Flower to complete The Outdoors storyline

FAQ

Q: What is the deadliest entity in DOORS? A: Figure at Door 200 (The Nest) is widely considered the deadliest. You must activate 5-6 Anchors in a large area while Figure actively hunts you by sound. The Groundskeeper in The Outdoors is equally dangerous due to its instant-death mechanic if you step on grass.

Q: Can I fight entities in DOORS? A: No, DOORS does not have combat mechanics. You must avoid, hide from, or solve puzzles related to entities. The only exception is the new shooting mechanic in Rush Mode, where you can shoot Rush-like entities with a gun.

Q: How do I know if an entity is Rush or Ambush? A: The warning duration is the key difference. Rush has a short flicker. Ambush has a significantly longer flicker. Always assume it is Ambush and stay hidden through multiple passes to be safe.

Q: What entities are purely cosmetic and cannot hurt me? A: Jack, Shadow, Sally, and Guiding Light are entirely harmless. Timothy deals only ~5 HP. Caws are harmless birds. All other entities can deal damage or kill.

Q: Do entities change behavior in multiplayer? A: Entity spawn rates can increase with more players. Some entities become easier with coordinated teamwork (e.g., splitting up to find Figure’s books), while others become harder due to increased noise from multiple players running and interacting.

Q: Are there any entities exclusive to Rush Mode? A: In Rush Mode, all entities look and sound like Rush, and Figure/Seek are significantly faster. The new shooting mechanic is exclusive to Rush Mode. No entirely new entities are added, but existing ones are visually and mechanically altered.

Q: How does Figure hunt players? A: Figure is blind and hunts purely by sound. Running, jumping, and interacting with objects all create noise. Crouch-walking (hold C) is silent. Holding your breath (hold Space) prevents breathing sounds when Figure is very close.

Q: What is the rarest entity to encounter? A: Glitch and Void are the rarest entities, as they are anomaly-based and trigger under very specific or random conditions. Jack is also quite rare as a container-opening jumpscare.

Q: Can Guiding Light be summoned on demand? A: Not exactly on demand, but camping (waiting) for 3-4 minutes in a room before entering a puzzle area significantly increases the chance of Guiding Light appearing. It most commonly appears before Door 50 and Door 100.

Q: What is the best strategy for The Nest (Door 200)? A: (1) Enter with multiple Alarm Clocks, (2) Plan your route and memorize Anchor positions, (3) Place Alarm Clocks away from your position before activating Anchors, (4) Always crouch-walk, (5) Coordinate with teammates to split Anchor activation, (6) Use the Barrel of Starlight as a last resort if Figure gets too close.
