==Personality==
{{Plathname|seed=4}} has a strange, abstract, and mazelike mindset.<ref>Thoughts twisted through the horror’s mind, making several turns at odd and impossible angles before reaching their destination. - excerpt from [[Break 4]]</ref> It frequently does what it perceives as "mating with the universe", which manifests as spitting blood out its ear canal.<ref>The horror twitched, head tilting, and it mated with the universe, spitting out more blood. - excerpt from [[Break 4]]</ref><ref name=":0" /> 

Michael Horst, the remnant of the man that {{Plathname|seed=5}} used to be, is horrified at what he's became and wishes to be destroyed.<ref>The Alabaster stood next to him.  “Same as before.  All you have to do is remain in that seat-”<br><br>Michael rose to his feet.  He turned around, facing her.  “You can’t let it- ''me'' have the seat.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/09/21 Excerpt] from [[Break 4]]</ref>

==Description==
{{Plathname|seed=6}} is about two feet tall, naked, with skin-like scar tissue and an ear for a face. Its ear canal is crusted with blood, and blood frequently spurts out of the ear canal.<ref>And there, on a section of concrete stair that jutted out of the wall, was the small, naked, gangly Other with an ear for a face, dangling from a high point.  It spat blood from the ear canal. - excerpt from [[Break 2]]</ref><ref name=":0">Francis frowned as a small Other vomited blood onto the bloody rink.  It was two feet tall, misshapen hands and feet, skin like thin scar tissue, and an ear-like shape for a face, crusted with blood at the canal, which had a spiral inside it. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/09/21 Excerpt] from [[Break 4]]</ref>

Due to some space-warping effects, its features are tightly compressed inside its small form. When damaged, it expands out into a fractal structure of arms, hands, ear canals, and blood.<ref>An arm emerged from the blood spatter, ten feet long and slender, fingers nearly a foot long, a ridged hole in the palm that seemed deep, though there was no hole in the back of the hand.<br><br>“Get back!” Cleo shouted.  “Back, back, back, back!”<br><br>Something slithered up through the arm and out the hole in the palm- two more arms, connected by bowed strings of flesh, each with a hole in the palm.<br><br>And more hands were emerging from the pool, in varying size.<br><br>“When they shrink a space down too much, try to make a dollhouse with a real house inside or some shit like that, you can get a horror like that,” Toy said.  “Features so pushed-together they get folded inside.  Compacted.  Give ’em an excuse, an outlet, and… explodes out.  Like compressed gas.”<br><br>Each hand was giving birth to more.  Some spurted blood, which produced more pools of blood, while others simply branched out, or groped, scratching, tearing, pressing against the fake plexiglass barrier. - [[https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/09/21 Excerpt]] from [[Break 4]]</ref>

==Abilities and Art==
Its name changes constantly, such that although one can tell who is being referred to, it is difficult to remember what the name had been previously. This may be an anti-binding measure, and is typical for [[horror]]s and similar [[Other]]s.<ref>''Srentystrpleth''.  The name had changed, but as Francis thought about it, he couldn’t remember the permutation of sounds from before, and he knew exactly who it was meant to refer to this time.<br><br>An anti-binding measure?  A way for it to slip easy labeling and summoning?<br><br>It fell in the right ballpark for horrors and darker things. - excerpt from [[Break 4]]</ref>

==Chronology==
{{Plathname|seed=7}} was originally a man named Michael Horst. How Horst came to be trapped within the form of a [[horror]] is unknown, but this kind of transformation generally occurs due to practice gone awry.

He entered the contest for the Carmine's throne and managed to kill several Witch Hunters, including [[Cleo Aleshire|Cleo]]. Afterward he was due to go up against [[Lauren Snyder]], but after seeing her familiar he forfeited and was dematerialised.
