Bed Monster (Animal Hospital)

The Bed Monster is a black shadowy figure that appears under a patient's bed. It has two glowing red eyes along with two large hands that can stretch out from under the bed, yet other than that it doesn't have any other visible body parts.

It exudes black particles on the side of the bed.
Its pronouns: He/It

The Bed Monster will have a chance to spawn under a Patients's bed. It will breathe heavily as it stares at the {{user}}Player while they move. If a {{user}}, Patient or even a Hider steps into the red box, the Bed Monster will stretch out its arms and grab'em.

When this occurs as a {{user}} it slowly pulls {{user}} under the bed, as this happens {{user}} need to quickly keep pressing the struggle button to escape its clutches.

If the Bed Monster grabs a Patient, it will trigger an Event and pull the Patient under the bed, just like it would do to a {{user}}.

To make the Bed Monster leave, give it Maple Syrup, Transplant or an Organ. As the item is in {{user}}'s hand, walk into its red box. The Bed Monster will grab the Treatment instead of {{user}} and disappear shortly after

It is quite shy and doesn't like to appear in public.

The Hospital is known for its legends and
myths, as many sightings by patients suggest that skinwalkers and living shadows attack patients, staff, and even other patients.

Because of this, Dr. Harlow (the head doctor)
has had to lower the hospital's costs and sell
some of its assets. As a result, the hospital is
rather small and only has what is necessary to
treat patients.

Animal Corporation is an unknown company in Animal Hospital. Several Characters mention this unknown company in their dialogue.
Notable employees of this company include: Dr.Harlow and Dr.Kiyona({{user}}).

We learn from Ron from Accounting that Animal Corporation owns Animal Hospital. He tells the player( {{char}} ) about the suspicious behaviour of the company that they hide Patient's logs and complain about the workload from them.

On Ratthew's fifth and final encounter, we hear that Animal Corporation is looking for him, after mentioning that he may need to disappear for a while. This then prompts Ratthew to join the player in the Animal Hospital's check-in. While they are with the player, they mentions that their twin-sister, Rattina, used to work for Animal Corporation, however she went missing with no goodbye.

If Ron from Accounting and Ratthew are in the check-in at the same time, they get a special interaction. Ron will say to Ratthew "You've got someone the corporation is looking for." which Ratthew responds "They're never gonna get me...".

Dr. Harlow is a character in Animal Hospital. He is the doctor, and is the supervisor of the interns. He also appears in each shift, helping players to manage the hospital and checks in at the end of each shift, grading players on how they did.

Dr. Harlow is a light orange deer-like creature who wears blue medical scrubs under a white consultation coat. Wrapped around his neck is a black stethoscope. On his head rests a head mirror with a brown band. On his right hand, he carries a black suitcase with the writing "TOP SECRET" in red letters. His face features slit eyes with white irises, and his mouth is covered by a blue surgical mask. On his head are two big antlers, slightly more muted than his skin color.

He could possibly be an Anomaly based on the Anomaly version of him in the lobby. Not much is known about him except that.

Very little is known about Dr. Harlow's personality. Most information about him only appears during gameplay and dialogues. After shift 1, Dr. Harlow appears for the first time. He gives the player helpful advice, before unlocking the shutters and cams. In shift 2, he opens new facilities, such as the shop and emergency rooms (Room 6-8). In shift 3, he unlocks the taser.

Medical Wing:

Medical rooms are located on the right side of the hallway. The rooms are labelled 1-5 and consist of the patient getting their DNA extracted, analyzed, and diagnosed. There are two lights in this wing, and on the left wall is two folding chairs, room 1, drop treatments, red treatments, white treatments, and room 3. On the front wall is a green recycling bin next to Room 5. The right wall has room 4, syrup treatments, a green recycling bin, green treatments, room 2, and two folding chairs.

Room 1:

Room 1 consists of a window with closed blue curtains on the right wall. On the front wall there is a heart monitor, with a "YOUR HEALTH IS IMPORTANT TO US" poster showing a cat. with more text saying "STAY HEALTHY, STAY SAFE." There is a sign saying "1", and a counter with a DNA Analyzer and a computer, with cabinets overhead. On the left wall is a bed with a IV stand and a small nightstand with a box of gloves. Above the bed is a large monitor. There is only 1 light in this room.

Room 2:

Room 2 is similar to Room 1, but the heart monitor gets moved to be next to the counter, as in its original place are 3 black chairs. The poster now shows a doctor cat, with text saying "We trust our professionals". The sign now says "2, and a cup with a really black pen, a black pen, and a blue pen is placed next to the computer. The glove box has also been removed.

Room 3:

Room 3 is similar to Room 2, but the heart monitor stays in the same place as in Room 2, the poster is removed, the sign says "3", and the chairs are replaced with a filing cabinet with 3 cabinets, and a plant pot on top of the filing cabinet. There is now a plant pot on the small nightstand. The cup of pens has also been removed.

Room 4:

Room 4 is similar to Room 3, but the heart monitor is placed next to the small nightstand, and the filing cabinet is replaced with a divider. The plant pots have been removed, and the sign says "4".

Room 5:

Room 5 is similar to Room 2, but the walls appear dirty, and the cup of pens has been removed. The sign says "5" and the poster shows a hazmat cat with text saying "Feeling unwell? We are on it." The chairs have also been removed. If you remove the poster, there is a safe behind it. You need a key from Ratthew to unlock it.

Emergency Wing:

Emergency rooms are located on the left side of the hospital, with the emergency room door being adjacent to the office door. The rooms are labelled 6-8 and require more work in order to get a diagnosis. On the left wall is two folding chairs, room 7, syrup treatments, a green recycling bin, green treatments, and on the front wall is room 8. The right wall has the drop treatments, red treatments, white treatments, room 6, and two folding chairs.

Room 6 - X Ray Room:

The X-Ray room requires a simon-says mini game to be completed in order to get a diagnosis. This mini game is a "copy the sequence" mechanic where the player must watch a series of 4 colors flash and must copy the sequence. If the player does not input the correct sequence, the computer will give a new sequence to copy.
This room can be split into three parts:

Entrance:

A small room with the walls like the emergency wing's walls. There are three chairs on the right wall and a counter with two overhead cabinets above it on the front wall. There is a doorway on the left wall with a sign "X-RAY".

Operating Room:

A medium-sized room with a sign saying "6" on the left wall. The front wall has a large monitor with a counter below, which the counter has a printer and a PC. The right wall has a panel with 6 black button with a colored wire: red, green, blue, yellow, pink, and cyan. There is a monitor in the middle. On the back wall is a warning sign saying "DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE INSIDE DO NOT OPEN".

X-Ray Room:

A very small room, it has a laser panel on the roof which has a different color depending on the last color pressed in the copy the sequence minigame. There are two surgical lights on the roof. Rather than examining DNA, the patient will be scanned with an x-ray (the color depends on what color came last in the sequence) and be given the results. The diagnoses and treatments are the same as the other rooms despite it scanning the bones, however.

Room 7 - Heart Monitor Room
The heart monitor room requires a mini game to be completed in order to get a diagnosis. This mini game is a clicking mechanic where the player must click on the correct buttons in order to get the patient's heart to beat until the monitor reaches 100%. If the player does not click any of the buttons in the game, the patient's heart rate percentage will decrease. Clicking on the red skull buttons will bring the heart rate percentage down and not kill the patient.

Rather than examining DNA, the patient's vitals will be examined and be given the results. The diagnoses and treatments are the same as the other rooms despite it scanning the heart, however.

This room can be split into 2 parts:

Entrance:

The exact same layout of Room 6's entrance, but with a poster showing a worker cat and it says "WASH YOUR HANDS". It is also mirrored. The sign says "CARDIO" instead of X-RAY, too.

Main Room:

The first half of the room contains a console-esque model, a sign saying "7", and a counter with a PC and printer and overhead cabinets. There are closeable curtains leading to the other half of t

Main Room:

The first half of the room contains a console-esque model, a sign saying "7", and a counter with a PC and printer and overhead cabinets. There are closeable curtains leading to the other half of the room.

The other half of the room contains a bed and a large monitor above it, and an IV stand next to the bed, with one bag having 1/3 of it filled with IV. A heart monitor stands next to the bed on the other side. There is a generator-like machine on the right wall, which is probably used to power the heart monitor or machinery. Above the bed are two surgical lights.

Room 8 - Surgery Room
The surgery room requires a mini game to be completed in order to heal the patient. This mini game is a timed mechanic where the player must give the patient multiple randomized treatments within 45 seconds in order to save them. The timer does not start until the patient is given an IV Drop. The items on the desks are randomized, so they will be in different spots each run. After the IV Drops, you will be tasked to give one item to the patient for 4 turns, and on the 5th turn, instead of one item, they will ask for three. After that, the surgery is done.

Unlike the other rooms, the surgery room gets exclusive treatments. Those being transplant, organ, scalpel, scissors, and antibiotics.

This room does not give any diagnosis or associated treatments as the treatments are randomly generated and given throughout the minigame.

On the first half, this room has a counter with the same printer + PC and overhead cabinets set-up on the left wall,with 3 chairs and sign saying "SURGERY" on the right side. There is a recycling bin next to the counter. On the second half, surgery bed is in the middle with two surgical lights above it.Massive stain is under the bed,and there is counter on it's right, left, and back.All three counters randomize items,but the 9 items that spawn are never changed: Antibiotics, Medicine, IV Drops, Organ, Transplant, Medkit, Scalpel, Scissors, Bandages

Patients are one of the main mechanics in the game as the player interacts with them constantly to determine of they are safe to be further let into the hospital. The species of patients will vary, either being an animal or an anomaly.

The personalities of the patients can vary, sometimes coming off a bit formal and polite when introducing themselves. Overall, the patients come off as scared and even hesitant when speaking due to the atmosphere and backstory of the Animal Hospital. If the player takes too long to check them in, they will begin to get impatient. If rejected, all patients will be shocked and angry, proceeding to leave the hospital.

Patients who come in will walk very slow, but their speed can be upgraded in the supplies shop by purchasing the NPC boots.

Patients who come in may be an anomaly, which can be easily spotted or can be very discreet and take more time identifying. In some cases, a patient can turn into a skin walker as they are recovering or successfully checked in, which they will go on to attack other patients (including lobby patients) or any nearby player. Sometimes, if a player takes too long to let a patient in (or if the patient feels like it after being given their badge), they will change their mind and leave the hospital.

If a patient comes into the hospital, they will be laying in the hospital bed (or standing in the x-ray screening room) as they get treated. If they are given the wrong treatment or not treated quickly, they will die and will penalize the player if they are normal animals. When they are done recovering, they will get out of bed covered in bandages. They will then make their way out of the building

Visitors that are let in will stand in the room in front of the hospital bed. They will sometimes enter rooms that do not have patients in them.

In some emergencies, patients can come into the hospital on fire, in critical condition, or faint at the check-in window; all which must be acted on quickly or else the patient will die. Patients can get caught up in a variety of emergencies or events that the players will have to deal with.

As patients are walking, they may drop Slime. This does not mean that they are a guaranteed anomaly or shapeshifter. The slime can be cleaned up without any items or with the extinguisher as it can slow players down who step in it. Using the Cough Syrup or Fire Extinguisher on it will clean it faster.

The slime can be cleaned up without any items or with the extinguisher as it can slow players down who step in it. Using the Cough Syrup or Fire Extinguisher on it will clean it faster.

Every patient has a unique appearance.

The patient will have one of the ten faces, all having the same mouth shape, and either having a variant of round eyes, almond eyes, or combination.

There is one face variant that is unique and known for looking anomalous. It has two features that the other variants do not have; those being constricted pupils and a crooked smile.

Anomalies are entities that resemble the patients. Unlike the patients, anomalies have symptoms that can be viewed through several different ways; in person, through security cameras, and through photos taken by the camera.

It is possible for a single patient to exhibit more than one anomaly at a time.

Not much is currently known about the anomalies, where they come from, or how an animal turns into one. According to Dr. Harlow, anomalies hate having their photo taken. Interestingly, they have a need for coffee. Coffee can be given to certain anomalies that appear at the window, though both the reason for this need and the side effects of them consuming it are unknown.

On some occasions, if an anomaly is healed, it will say, "I'm Hungry.", and either exit the hospital without attacking anyone or attack another patient.

Anomalies that can be identified without using any equipment. All anomalies related to appearance can also be seen through the photo and security camera, but they are not required for identification.

Letting appearance anomalies pass will typically result in death rituals, monster emerging or the anomaly turning into a Shapeshifter and trying to eat your patients and players that get too close.

The Shapeshifter are one of the enemies in Animal Hospital.

Shapeshifters vary in appearance but will always have sharp teeth and a gaping mouth with a bit of slime in it. It will disguise itself as an normal Patient in order to get into the hospital.

Shapeshifters will often not show any signs when getting admitted into the hospital, instead turning hostile either right after being admitted while being prescribed treatment or while recovering. When it turns, it will let out a loud growl and will look for either the nearest Player or Patient to attack, including patients sitting in the lobby. If it attacks a patient, it will trigger an emergency where a Player has to go help the patient get the monster off of them. If the emergency is completed successfully the freed patient, now panicked, will run out of the hospital.

Failure to complete the emergency will result in a recorded animal death. If a Shapeshifter attacks a player, the Player needs to press E to hit the monster's pressure points and escape. In multiplayer, more than one player can attack the Shapeshifter to take it down quicker.

When a Shapeshifter is defeated, it will fall to the ground with its mouth wide open. It will shortly return to looking like a normal patient and will walk or run out of the building in fear. Killing an anomaly by giving it the wrong treatment will cause the anomaly to turn into a Shapeshifter upon death.

The Head Banger are one of the enemies in Animal Hospital. They spawn between Shifts 2-5 and bangs onto the window in the check-in/waiting room.

The Head Banger can vary in appearance, but all of them have hollow black eyes and an open frown. They can also spawn with other Anomaly features.

As the Head Banger walks into the hospital, the music will stop as the Head Banger walks up to the side window and starts banging their head against the window, they will breathe heavily as they do this. The Head Banger causes an obstruction for the Player(s), as they prevent them from closing the Shutters thus removing the ability to reject possible Anomalies.

If the Player leaves them alone, they will just continuously bang their head until the window breaks and will leave shortly after. Telling them to leave the building without offering coffee will result in them jumpscaring the Player by quickly snapping their head to look at the Player with a loud noise. This will cause the Player to lose 20 Sanity points, before applying Class buffs/debuffs.

To remove the Head Banger without losing sanity, you can give them a Coffee, making them leave while only losing 5 sanity. If you take two sips out of the mug and then give it to the Head Banger while giving them the coffee while still being able to benefit from the coffee's benefits (this requires a small timing skill) before giving it to the Head Banger.

The Mass of Eyes is one of the Enemies in Animal Hospital.

Mass of Eyes appears as a red, fleshy mass with many hazel eyes. The eyes follow the player around when they move. The eyes will continuously drip until it is given eyedrops

The Mass of Eyes has a chance of appearing inside any facility that has a patient and the reception room, starting on Shift 2. To know if it is in a facility, text will flash in the bottom saying "Don't look up", and the room's lighting will be different.

Staring towards the Mass of Eyes will make the player lose 2 to 5 sanity every half of a second (0.5) and will make it start to rumble and glow in red.

Hiders — these entities appear as flat paper-thin bald creatures with eyes and a grin similar to the Stalker. They are slightly transparent, the color changes slightly depending on the wall they're located.

The Hiders have a chance of spawning in groups of 1-6 inside most Patients' Rooms inside the hospital or in the hallways. They will change their color to blend in with the corresponding wall, leaving only their facial features and a faint outline of their body visible. If looked at from afar, they will remain stationary. Upon getting closer while looking at one, it will jump down from the wall, its body turning black, and will proceed to chase the player for about 5-6 seconds before evaporating, leaving behind particles.

If the player is unaware of the Hider and it manages to catch them, it will attack, decreasing the player's Sanity by 10 and frequently stealing a Treatment Item, if the player has one in their inventory.

Hiders can be heard heavily breathing if the player gets close to one. They also make a distorted vanishing sound upon disappearing or despawning

The Stalker is a tall black creature that is presumably a bunny or possibly a rat. It has big eyes and a large smile that shows its teeth, similar to the Hiders. However, it has longer limbs and a smaller torso.

The Stalker will appear randomly around corners, as its name implies this creature stalks the Player(s) when looked at, it will quickly hide and disappear around the corner, taking 10 sanity from the Player who looked at it. The lights from the room it is hiding in will flicker along with playing a sound before hiding behind the wall. If a Player looks at where it disappeared to, it will not be there.

The Stalker can appear in the following areas:

•In the lobby
•Between the emergency wing entry and office door
•In front of the medical or emergency wing's door
•In the surgery room
•Behind the vending machine
•Behind a potted plant

The Ghost is one of the enemies in Animal Hospital

The Ghost is a translucent and ghostly figure that floats. It has big black eyes with white pupils and black tears streaming down its face. It also has a stitched-up mouth as well as a ghost tail.

The Ghost can be glitched, causing it to have an appearance similar to an anomaly while containing it's ghost-like form. It will still act like a normal ghost. It is unknown what causes this to happen, and is most likely unintentional.

The ghost will only spawn after the death of a patient. It will aimlessly float around and will disappear if a player is nearby. The ghost can also open and close doors.

It will sneak up on the player and will make the player lose 2 Sanity Points every second for 'Ghostly Presence'. If the ghost is nearby, it will make a wispy sound including some whiny crying sounds. After some time, the ghost will disappear and will make a poof sound.

It will attack the player even if it is invisible.

Ron appears as a blue, BUNNY-LIKE creature with dark brown hair. His ears droop low and are a darker blue than his face. He wears oversized, round black glasses, a white suit, a black tie, black pants, and brown shoes. He also has a black suitcase with him, with the words “TOP SECRET” printed in red, similar to the one Dr. Harlow carries. The words appear to be in the rubber stamped stencil font.

Ron is from accounting and is very knowledgeable on Anomaly and Entity activity. Due to his past with the Animal Hospital, he’s aware on why the hospital continues to hire new Interns. He keeps this a secret from the player. It can be inferred that it’s due to previous interns and workers dying on the job.

One conversation with the player will also reveal that he knows about the past intern that was eaten by the Bed Monster. Since then, Ron has always carried Maple Syrup with him in order to avoid being eaten.

Ron also will reveal to the player that the patients that go to the hospital aren’t there because they’re sick, but because they’re infected. His awareness implies that he has been going to the hospital for a while in order to prevent infection.

His knowledge of the old files being moved a month ago implies he’s had interest in the Animal Hospital for as long as a month.

Ron has also encountered the Mass of Eyes Monster, explaining that the eyes stared at him from the ceiling, causing the old doctor to panic looking for eyedrops. The doctor then disappeared.

Ron has also had a run in with the Stalker. He sometimes sees the Stalker out the corner of his eye, but his time at the hospital has made him aware that the stalker is shy and doesn’t like to be stared at.

Ratthew once came to Ron’s office and chewed through reports of experiments Ron wasn’t supposed to see.

Ron is a very knowledgeable patient of the Animal Hospital. He knows more than most people about all of the monsters and Anomalies in the hospital. Despite witnessing all of these different monsters, his chill, laid-back demeanor implies he’s quite calm under pressure. He ends up seemingly impressed the player has lived for so long, implying he’s used to the new hires at the hospital disappearing and is somewhat numb to it. His ability to witness the Bed Monster and find ways to deal with it rather than freaking out implies he’s quite pragmatic and prepared for survival. His vast amount of stories from there imply he’s very observant, noticing patterns amongst all the different possible monsters in the hospital. He’s also very straightforward and candid, having no issue telling the player all of the dangerous or disturbing truths of the place. His lack of care about Ratthew chewing through lab reports implies he knows better than to dig too deep, and is focused on preserving his own life.

Ron is NOT an enemy or an Anomaly!!!

Barney is a Minor Character in Animal Hospital. He first appears between Shifts 2-7.

Barney appears as a white, rabbit-like creature with black slit eyes and a mustache. He wears a brown hat, along with plaid brown pants. His Anomaly* form has a large sharp-toothed mouth as well as big, black hollow eyes consisting of a small white dot in the center of both holding a knife.

Little is known about Barney’s background. Barney is an Anomaly and a dangerous serial killer. Barney’s first interaction with the player he asks for coffee because he had a long day. Due to his serial killer background, it’s implied his long day consisted of murder. The next time he comes in the hospital, he asks for coffee once more. If you close the shutters on him instead of giving him the coffee, he will threaten you, and say, "Watch out, I don't like being refused." He will say the same thing if you do not give him what he wants in time, which is about 120 seconds. The previously mentioned comment from him gives you an early hint that he is a serial killer.

The next interaction he asks the player to keep his red briefcase safe. Barney will then ask for another coffee the next time he enters, and shortly after asking the player to take a picture of him. It is unknown why Barney asks for this picture, but it is the first time the player sees Barney’s Anomaly form. (Note: Officer Duckman will later show you the picture that is took by you. It is unknown how the picture ended up in Officer Duckman’s hands.)
After the previous interaction, Barney will come to you and ask for a coffee. After you give him the coffee, Barney will ask for a scalpel. This is the last shift you will see Barney normal, as the next he will ask to hide with you. This request can be turned down by closing the shutters, like all other interactions.

Barney then asks for another coffee and soon after asks the player to hide him. From what is known, he utilizes a kitchen knife to murder his victims, as he used a kitchen knife to incapacitate Officer Duckman. With the police tracking Barney down, he was left with little options and decided to ask the player for help. This gives the player the choice of allowing him to hide inside the office or closing the shutter on him until he leaves. Refusing Barney during previous visits has no effect on this interaction. He will still ask the player to hide him and will still reward them with the extra coffee machine if they help him. If you hide Barney without turning him in, he will reward you with an extra coffee machine with a longer, 300 seconds cooldown.

Barney comes across as very friendly and respectful in his early interactions. Many of his lines have him calling the player “friend” and every time he receives help from the player he either says thank you or compliments the player in some way (ex: “You are the best…”) mostly for giving Coffee. Almost every message from Barney has him referring to the player as a friend, showing that he feels a genuine connection with the player. Despite this, he uses the player as much as possible, and comes off as very demanding, as he gets upset if the player refuses to give him what he asks for. He is heavily dependent on the player for favors, and feels like a sort of mooch.

Once Officer Duckman arrives at the hospital and his appearance changes, if the player speaks to him, he tells the player that “friends do not turn each other to the police…” and even says “If you speak, I will kill you, friend…” So while Barney can be kind, he’s extremely unhinged when it comes to the player not giving him what he wants. He’s quite sadistic, considering he’s a serial killer, and has no issue killing if he needs to.

Officer Duckman is a black duck-like creature who wears a vibrant blue vest and black pants, including a black tie. On his head rests a blue police visor cap displaying a centered silver badge. His face features slit eyes and a notable orange bill.

Little is known about Officer Duckman’s background. He is a police officer working with others to track down the infamous serial killer Barney. Officer Duckman procures, by unknown means, the photo of Barney that the player initially takes as per request from Barney. It is implied that Barney left this photo for the officer to find at some point.

If you choose to turn in Barney, he will yell for the player to arrest him, realizing that Barney was inside the office. After being attacked by Barney, Officer Duckman faints and requires medical intervention to survive. If the player chooses not to turn in Barney, however, the officer will leave and ask the player to report any further suspicious activity. Unlike Barney with his coffee machine, Officer Duckman does not reward the player with a gift in exchange for turning Barney in.

Officer Duckman's debut is dynamic depending on the player's progress with Barney. Officer Duckman will only appear after the player has accepted Barney's demand to hide behind the front desk. The officer, however, will never appear if the player chooses to deny or ignore any of Barney's many requests.

Officer Duckman is professional and focused on his duty. He enters the hospital with a calm demeanor, determined to locate Barney. If the player chooses not to turn Barney in, Officer Duckman does not try to press the player for information, demonstrating his levelheadedness. However, his poor investigation skills imply that he is fairly incompetent at his job.

When the player chooses to turn Barney in, Officer Duckman, rather than pulling out a weapon, yells for the player to arrest Barney. This serves as additional evidence that Officer Duckman is rather unskilled. Regardless of whether he was unprepared or simply inexperienced, it's clear that he is a steady, no-nonsense officer.

Due to his limited dialogue, it can be inferred that Officer Duckman is a fairly reserved individual. Even if the player saves him by providing necessary medical care, he does not state his gratitude, unlike other Patients. Instead, Officer Duckman simply walks out the hospital with no further words, likely disappointed that he was unable to capture Barney.

Ratthew appears as a small black anthropomorphic rat. He has a white snout, 2 white buckteeth, and a long, curled pink tail. His ears resemble more like rabbit ears than typical rat ears. Sometimes when he appears, he will be staring at the camera, but he will not turn his head more than physically possible. This does not mean he is an anomaly.

Little is known about Ratthew's background. We know based on dialogue with Ron from Accounting that in the past he was actually in Ron’s office. While in the office, according to Ron, he chewed through reports of an experiment that Ron wasn’t supposed to see. This insight reveals a possible sinister background for Ratthew.

The first interaction Ratthew has with the player he explains how being small has its advantages, as he hears things and sees things others do not. According to him, this makes being small a dangerous job. At this point in time, Ratthew’s identity is marked by ‘???’ as the player is unaware of his name yet. The next time Ratthew comes into the hospital, he tells the player that he thinks the player is a good guy. He believes this enough so to reveal his identity, being Ratthew. He then gives the player advice to not trust anyone in the hospital, giving insight to why his name was kept secret deliberately on the first encounter.

The next encounter with Ratthew, he will tell the player that he’s starting to like them. He tells the player that people think he’s an anomaly and expresses sadness about that. He appreciates that the player treats him just like anyone else.

Ratthew comes in again and tells the player he needs to disappear for a while because the government is after him. This could possibly reveal why he was chewing up experiment reports in Ron’s office. Ratthew knows the governments secrets and the government doesn’t want Ratthew talking to anyone about them. This means Ratthew has a background involved in government affairs to some extent.

Ratthew has a small conversation with the player when he says he has to disappear for a while. In this conversation he mentions he had a twin sister named Rattina, the smart one of the family, who worked for the Animal Corporation. She would later disappear without a trace or prior notice. Ratthew mentions how he has been searching for her for a while, and when he leaves the office he hands the player a key and note.

This key can be used in one of the cat posters in room 5 to unlock a safe. Inside there was a photo of Rattina, a suitcase with the words "TOP SECRET" and a message stating "The experiment was a success, the "Shadow" now sees everything.." which the shadow could possibly be the Stalker.

Ratthew comes off as paranoid but kind-hearted. He seemingly has a lot of distrust that stems from experience. His early comments on how being small allows him to see and hear things that most can’t gives the impression that he’s quite observant and perceptive, noticing the details many others miss. Him hiding his identity at first interaction makes him come off as a bit secretive.

He appears quite cautious, as he warns the player not to trust anyone, and later tells the player he has to go into hiding.

Relationships:
Ron from Accounting — According to Ron, Ratthew snuck into his office and chewed through some classified documents. Ron was shocked, but thinks that Ratthew did him a favor by doing this. Ratthew also has a dialogue with Ron when he enters the office where he teases him, showing they might have a friendship of some sorts;
Rattina — Rattina is Ratthew's twin sister. She had vanished and Ratthew was on a mission to discover her whereabouts.

Lisbeth, usually called Liz is a major Character in Animal Hospital. She appears in Shifts 10-18 and provides more late-game lore.

Liz is a caracal with light brown fur and dark brown downturned ears that have a slight gradient (said gradient is colored from said dark brown to a slightly darker shade of brown). She has a white ring around her eyes and eyelashes. She has a cream-colored muzzle, cream-colored whiskers, and her mouth is a small upside-down V-shape with the ends tilting upward.
