__TOC__
== Appearance ==
 
Pandemonium takes the appearance of a melting, heavily distorted human face, with hundreds of eyes inside of its mouth. Pandemonium’s jaw is warped into a curved shape with numerous distorted, loose teeth. Similarly to [[The Angler|Angler]], Pandemonium's face will always be facing the player, regardless of where they view it.
Pandemonium's is a heavily distorted monster that appears to be in a constant state of melting. Pandemonium does not take on the appearance of any recognizable creature or figure on Earth and is best described as a "brown husk." Its "mouth" has numerous distorted, loose teeth, and its jaw is heavily warped. Where eyes in an eye socket would be is instead empty. This base appearance changes when Pandemonium spots a player, with its two empty eye sockets replaced with glowing white eyes, and a dozen eyes appearing inside its mouth.
 
== Mechanics ==
[[Pandemonium]] acts similarly to Angler and its variants. Pandemonium has a chance to spawn if the player’srun's current or previous room has a valid [[Hiding#Hiding Spots|hiding spot]]. When Pandemonium spawns, nearby electronics will flicker briefly, and Pandemonium will begin advancingadvance.
 
AfterOnce Pandemonium spots thea player, regardless of the distance, it will beginemit loudlya screechingloud screech and advancingstart moving directly towardstoward thethat player. If Pandemonium manages to make contact, regardlessit ofinstantly kills the distanceplayer. PandemoniumIf willthe instantlyplayer killis anyspotted players whoand arein nota hiding onspot contact.as Pandemonium passes, Pandemonium's minigame will occur instead.
 
Pandemonium's minigame requires players to keep their cursor in the middle of the screen while Pandemonium attacks the hiding spot; Pandemonium will periodically slam into the locker, knocking players' cursors off the point in the middle of the screen. If a player's cursor is outside the point, they will begin to lose energy. If players run out of energy, Pandemonium will force open the locker and kill them; energy can regained by keeping their cursor on the end or whenever Pandemonium slams. Players who survive Pandemonium's attack long enough will make it leave, ending the minigame.
If the player is in a hiding spot as Pandemonium passes, they will be forced into a minigame requiring them to keep their cursor in the middle of the screen while Pandemonium attacks the hiding spot, causing their cursor to jump.
 
In more advanced difficulties, the point will move with every slam; a red point also appears that will drain energy if a player's cursor is inside it.
While the player’s cursor is off of the point in the middle of the screen, they will lose energy. They can regain energy through keeping their cursor on the point. If they run out of energy, Pandemonium will force open the locker and kill them. After a while, Pandemonium will leave and the minigame will end.
=== Notes ===
* Pandemonium will only spawn after room 25, and can only spawnspawns once per run.
* Angler and other [[Monsters#Node Monsters|node monsters]] are able tocan spawn right after a Pandemonium attack.
* Pandemonium will attackslam into the locker more frequently as theit's minigame progresses.
* After Pandemonium’s minigame, the player will not be forced out of their hiding spot, and their [[Hiding#Cleithrophobia|cleithrophobiaCleithrophobia]] will reset.
 
=== The Ridge===
<!-- If a monster has no special behavior in the ridge, remove this header. -->
{{Further|The Ridge}}
 
Pandemonium has a higher chance of spawning in the Ridge. MuchVisual likecues Angler,such Pandemoniumas lights flickering will not beaccompany accompaniedPandemonium's byspawn anyin visualthe cuesRidge. Players are forcedhave to rely on sound alone to know when Pandemonium is coming. To compensate for this, Pandemonium's sound cues happen earlier while attacking in the ridgeRidge, giving players more time to react.
 
== Strategy ==
When hiding from Pandemonium, makeplayers sure toshould not hide too early; otherwise, or youthey will be forced out of yourtheir hiding spot due to cleithrophobiaCleithrophobia.
 
Pandemonium uses a raycastingray-casting hitbox to create its line of sight, so hiding in places that cover your charactercharacters completely (includingsuch as office cubicles, or separate hallways, etc) will work in evading Pandemonium. Unlike Angler, Pandemonium can deviate from its set path and has a much larger line of sight that ignores translucent objects such as vents or windows, making it harder to hide without using a locker.

* Pandemonium's eye sockets are usually empty and black, but its eyes will glow white when it spots a player. name was changed to Pandemonium to avoid following what YourFriendZeal considered the "boring naming convention of DOORS".
* Pandemonium was not executed while in Urbanshade's containment due to it being impervious to execution methods.<ref>[https://discord.com/channels/974102561554587738/1171542785225138176/1236334560820596746 "pandemonium is impervious"] YourFriendZeal on Discord, May 2024.</ref>
* Pandemonium alongside [[Death Angel | Death Angel]] are the only node monster that breaks away from its nodes to attack players.<ref>[https://discord.com/channels/974102561554587738/1171542785225138176/1232378271916884070 "but he stops using the node system if he detects a player"] kibo_ on Discord, April 2024.</ref> It is also able to spot at a longer range to redirect its path.<ref>[https://discord.com/channels/974102561554587738/1171542785225138176/1245002791026692116 "pandemonium just has longer range"] YourFriendZeal on Discord, May 2024.</ref>

* Unlike Angler and its variants, Pandemonium has physical form and can be described as "flesh".<ref>[https://discord.com/channels/974102561554587738/1171542785225138176/1244734822371561482 "also, pandemonium is flesh"] YourFriendZeal on Discord, May 2024.</ref>
* Pandemonium's movement and attacking sounds are sampled from [https://davidszymanski.bandcamp.com/track/it-wakes Iron Lung's OST, 'It Wakes' by David Szymanski]
** It was said that [[Sebastian Solace]] could most likely beat Pandemonium in a fight.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/974102561554587738/1171542785225138176/1244734837609336923</ref>
