Screech is a recurring entity in The Lost Floors.
Appearance
Screeches appear as spherical entities with pale pink skin, with most of their body being coated in a pitch-black and lustrous substance that retains a slimy or gooey consistency. They possess 6 tentacles that are attached around its body in a circular pattern, with a dry, sinister, yet unsettling smile with 14 white eyes. It has pearly-white human-like teeth with red gums.
In The Lost Floors, an icy variant of Screech, named IcyScreech, appears. It resembles Screech, but the goo is replaced with brown ice with ice spikes scattered across its body, and its eyes are cyan.
Behavior
In The Lost Mines, Screeches are able to spawn in any dark room past Door 101. Upon spawning, they will fade in and float near the player, and after a few moments, a player will hear a quiet static sound and a slight shaking of the screen. Following that, Screech will emit a "psst" sound. If players do not look directly at them within a certain amount of time, it will bite the player, dealing 40 damage. If players do look directly at it, Screech will scream, and quickly despawn. Actively using or being near any light sources decreases the chance of Screech spawning. Light sources can be shared with other players, and can be "stacked."
In The Lost Floors, IcyScreech appears in The Hailstorm and doesn't care about light. He makes no sound, but instead applies a freezing effect to the edges of the screen of the player he appears next to. Like Screech, IcyScreech deals 40 damage if it is not looked at in time.
Screech can be crucified by the Crucifix.
