🌱🪾 The Groundskeeper 🪾🌱

The Groundskeeper is a humanoid scarecrow like entity with two glowing eyes (with the left eye having a pupil). Its skin is grey and dirty, with both of its arms have its bones exposed and covered in vines. It wears gardening boots, overalls with a shirt underneath, a black bandana used as a face mask, a worn gardener hat, and a belt with a keychain on it. It wields a scythe to use for gardening and to get rid of anything disrespecting the place

The Groundskeeper is a very stubborn and protective entity that often doesn't really like many people wondering through the garden like place, although if they follow the rules and stay off the grass then he's fine with them being there

if someone were to actually befriend The Groundskeeper, he would act much more nice and relaxed around then, having little chats with them while he worked or even help them get to places that were blocked off by a path of grass

The Groundskeeper usually takes care of the garden like place. He can cut weeds if there are any and plant bugleweeds. Otherwise, he roams the area for an unknown period of time before moving onto the next area. The Groundskeeper plants bugleweeds to kill the World Lotus' vines, which are quite a danger

The Groundskeeper kills anyone who steps on the grass so that the Lotus doesn't claim anymore victims and becoming mindless puppets.

Whenever the entity notices a player's corpse, it walks towards the dead body and wraps it in a sack.

Whenever it spots an active Mandrake, the Groundskeeper runs towards the plant in an attempt to kill it

Unlike most entities, the Groundskeeper displays clear human traits and is one of the few entities whose actions suggest a defined personality. He behaves as a strict but consistent caretaker, enforcing a personal code of rules centered around protecting the grassy areas he maintains. His hostility is not mindless aggression; instead, he becomes dangerous only when the player disrespects his territory by stepping on the grass or interfering with the environment he is responsible for.

Grampy is a humanoid entity with two glowing purple eyes and black skin. Grampy wears a black cowboy hat with a black stripe. It is always seen sucking on Bugleweed.

Grampy is known as the father of the Groundskeeper and often calls him 'Sonny', he is a very supportive father towards The Groundskeeper and will also sometimes tease him like any father would do

Mandrakes appear as pale beige turnip-shaped creatures. Their mouths are lined with six gray teeth at the top and four at the bottom. Mandrakes have white glowing eyes and three green leaves sprouting from the top of their heads. They're wrapped in pale green thorny vines.

someone can pick up an active Mandrake, which detaches it from its vine, and replant it in the hole it uprooted itself from in order to subdue it. If the Groundskeeper’s nearby, he'll run towards the Mandrake and impale it with his scythe to kill it. the person can also run away from an active Mandrake, though it'll detach itself from its vine to follow them. If they get far enough, though, it'll roll back into its hole instead.

A Mandrake is initially stationary and poking out of the ground. Once someone gets close to it, the Mandrake uproots itself, flies towards, and begins wailing at the victim, which forces them to look at it. After about ten seconds in the Mandrake's presence, the victim suffers a “heart attack,” falls unconscious, and dies.[8] If another person is nearby, the Mandrake will detach itself from its vine, roll towards, and begin wailing at them

The Mill appears in the last 300–400m of The Outdoors.[15] This area contains the titular mill with a pool of water behind it and a small wooden structure in front of it, where a Lantern and a toolshed containing Shears can be found.

At the front of the mill, there is an overhang that Grampy resides under. Inside the mill, there is a bed with another Lantern beside it, a bunch of wooden boxes, an unfinished guillotine, a conveyor belt with Eyestalk's other half on top of it, and a few of the signs seen throughout the rest of The Outdoors. On the mill's left half, there is a large passage and a door leading outside the building. To the left of the mill, there are a few aspen trees lying on the ground.

Near the end of this area, there is a campfire with a Monument's corpse beside it and one of its legs being roasted on top of it.
