== Becoming the Horror ==
There are only 2 ways to become an Eldritch Horror. Either through a Traitor curator summoning you with an uplink or the Spawn Eldritch Horror random event. You must have the Eldritch Horror preference toggled on (use the verb for special candidacy in the Preferences tab) and you may be selected.
== The starting Tools ==
As an Eldritch Horror you start off with the basic abilities and tools.
* Hide - Allows you to hide under certain objects.
* Knockdown - Allows you to trip crew who are near you.
* Mutate - Menu for unlocking more abilities and getting minor upgrades.
* Seek soul - Allows you to pick a targets soul to take out of 4 options.
* Vent crawl - Allows you to go inside vents with alt-clicking them.
== Time to Hitchhike ==
You're a freshly spawned Eldritch Horror. First thing is to quickly reach a ventilation system or use the hiding ability that allows you to go under certain objects and get out of sight. These abilities can also be used later on to sneak on your targets stealthily. To steal a soul, first you activate a "Seek soul" ability on your HUD, which opens a radial menu offering up to 4 targets. Choose one of them, and they'll become your selected target. You can only eat soul of your current target which means you have to track them down. To help with that, you immediately acquire a pinpointer on your HUD that will point itself to your target. You start with increased mobility. While not as fast as a running human, you are small enough to fit in vents and even through airlocks!
[[File:EldritchHorrorDemostration.gif|thumb|Demonstration of an Eldritch Horror getting inside a host.]]
To squeeze yourself through an airlock, simply attack it. Once you get to your target, it's time to strike and enter their head! You start with an ability that knocks everyone around you onto the floor, giving you enough time to enter their head.
== Why is it so Hollow inside here? ==
Once inside a host, you can begin absorbing their soul by clicking on the Consume Soul Ability.
While inside a host, you can also temporarily take over their mind, making you the one in control, you can chat with them and even inject chemicals directly into their bloodstream. You can also leave your host at any time. This will be your main form of transportation safely and will go in conjunction with a lot of your later abilities you will gain through successfully consuming souls.
== I consumed someone's soul. Now what? ==
Congratulations so far, but don't rest easy just yet, as the more alert the crew becomes, the more they will do to stop you.
To help you achieve your objectives, you can spend consumed soul points on abilities and permanent upgrades that will surely make you survive a lot longer.
Click the "Mutate" action on your HUD, and a window with all mutations will appear.
Keep in mind, you can only mutate while outside of a host. Most abilities cost chemicals to use. You can see the amount of chemicals you possess on your HUD. You generate chemicals at a slow rate whilst inside an alive host. As a small note, you also regenerate your health while inside a host.
=== Abilities ===
Below is a list of all the abilities an Eldritch Horror can use.

== Minor Passive Upgrades ==
While pressing the mutate Hud you can also find upgrades in the menu. Unlike abilities, these are passive buffs that will change how your abilities work, how you react to certain objects, and make you a lot more versatile and lethal.
* '''Electrocharged tentacle''' - 3 soul points - Upgrades your starting ability to knock someone over into shocking them, knocking them unconscious for a little while so they don't see you crawling into their head.
* '''Efficient chemical glands''' - 2 soul points - Increases your passive chemical regeneration from 2 to 4.
* '''independent chemical glands''' - 2 soul points - Lets you regenerate chemicals without the need for a host!
* '''Regenerative skin''' - 1 soul point - Lets you regenerate your own health over time without need for host. Can mitigate the effects of unsuitable atmospheres, such as plasma floods.
* '''Rhino skin''' - 2 soul points - Increases your fragile health from 65 to 130, greatly increasing survivability outside of a host.
* '''Reflective fluids''' - 1 soul point - Hosts will not be alerted when you exit them, and you'll be covered in reflective fluid that makes you invisible. If invisibility is unlocked, it'll activate when you exit a host.
* '''Sharpened teeth''' - 1 soul point - Increases your biting damage from 10 to 20.
* '''Advanced reagent synthesis''' - 2 soul points - Lets you synthetize more advanced chemicals into your hosts, including adrenaline.
* '''Precise probosci''' - 1 soul point - Lets you take control over host's brain noticeably faster.
* I'''nsulated probosci''' - 2 soul points - Increases time it takes for a mind-controlled host to regain control over their body. Doesn't affect the effect of body control being returned to host in reaction to being hit.
== Combating the Squid ==
The Horror is extremely vulnerable when outside of a host. Try baiting it out then smashing it down. One can also be surgically removed out of your head via the organ manipulation surgery. Try to keep it away from vents by pulling or pushing it away. Remember to weld vents inside the surgery room while trying to remove a Horror from a victim's head or they will easily leave the body in the middle of the surgery and go into the vents, also don't forget to have a partner to watch over you as the Eldritch Horror can easily slip into you while you're conducting the surgery.
== "This is just like my Japanese Animes!" ==
The Eldritch Horror can also be created through the use of a Traitor curator with their uplink. After this is done you are '''Mindslaved''' to the curator. You must follow all their '''commands to the dime'''. if they tell you to die in a ring of fire, '''''<s>you make sure to put up a show</s>.''''' As your Traitor's sidekick, you ''can'' (hopefully) provide a very useful and versatile ally, being able to heal them, equip them with a deadly weapon, control other people and more.
The Traitor curator also will get a special horn that will automatically recall you. Be warned if the horn is used by anyone else other than your original master it will break after use.
