Scorches can have different densities, with low grade ones such Density 1 being the weakest, being able to be taken out by just stepping on it, and high grade ones such Density 3 requiring the use of emergency tools.
When left alone for too long, roughly 2 days, soot will eventually clump together and form into a Scorch, a being that has the habit of aiming for a Doll's face and mouth when attacking. Inside the body of a living doll, they live in the stomach as a parasite, causing the soot sickness. Scorches can also die with it runs out of energy, turning into dust. Their main weakness is water, but they can also be defeated if they are smashed with enough strength depending on their density.
They are also capable of fusing together and combining densities. If two Density 1 scorches fuse, they become one with a density of 2 with no difference to size. Being simply living masses of soot, Scorches lack high brainpower and act by pure instinct, attacking any other living beings near them. They are theorised to have the desire to gain a face of their own. Aside from the fusion ability, Scorches are also capable of shrinking, expand in proportion to their density, or splitting off parts of themselves. However these transformations are only temporary and so far, it is impossible for them to naturally grow big enough to become a Phantom without a soot power.

When under soot sickness, Dolls will become unresponsive, move strangely, and are incapable of proper speech. Their eyes also turn black as a result. The actions of Dolls under the illness appears to be random as Rosemary only bumped into walls harmlessly, yet during the second major Phantom Incident, affected Dolls turned violent, attacking fellow Dolls. Jeremiah explained that Scorches control the Doll in their stomachs as a parasite and can be flushed out by drinking large amounts of water until the Doll vomits. The length of the process depends on the amount of soot the Doll has taken in, ranging from rather light to severe.

If the sickness is not treated well enough, the Doll will die from the stress
