Bed Monster

A black shadowy figure with two glowing red eyes that has a chance to spawn under a patient's bed, exuding black particles and breathing heavily while staring at whoever moves nearby.

Bed Monster is a black, shadowy creature with two glowing red eyes that has a chance to spawn hiding underneath a patient's bed in Animal Hospital (Anomaly). You'll notice it from the black particles it exudes and its heavy breathing as it stares at anyone who gets close. Step into its red hitbox and it grabs you, a patient, or a Hider and starts dragging its victim under the bed — a fast, sanity-draining threat that will kill a grabbed patient within 30 seconds if nobody frees them.

Behavior

A black shadowy figure with two glowing red eyes that has a chance to spawn under a patient's bed, exuding black particles and breathing heavily while staring at whoever moves nearby. If a player, patient, or Hider steps into its red hitbox, it stretches out its arms and grabs them, slowly dragging them under the bed: -10 sanity on the initial grab and -5 sanity every 2 seconds while being pulled in. It will kill a grabbed patient within 30 seconds if not freed, and can also trigger the same grab event on patients as a scripted Event.

How to Respond

Equip Maple Syrup, an Organ, or a Transplant and walk into its red box — the monster grabs the item instead and disappears shortly after. Otherwise avoid the hitbox by walking around it, or lure a Hider into the box to remove both threats at once.

Quick tips

  • Equip Maple Syrup, an Organ, or a Transplant and walk into the red hitbox on purpose — the monster grabs the item instead of you and disappears shortly after.
  • If you don't have one of those items, just walk around the visible red hitbox to avoid triggering the grab entirely.
  • The initial grab costs 10 sanity, plus another 5 sanity every 2 seconds while the victim is being dragged in — free them (or bait it with an item) quickly.
  • You can also lure a Hider into the Bed Monster's hitbox to remove both threats in one move.
