Specimen 3, also known as Subject 5, the Spider, or the Centipede, is the third villainous-creature and a major antagonist from the 2014 indie video game Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion.
Appearance[]
Specimen 3 appears to be a dark brown spider-looking creature. The body of Specimen 3 is very similar to a centipede, while its build and face remind more to a spider. There appears to be four legs on each segment, with two on each side of its body. It appears to be having eight fluorescent green eyes and five sets of pinchers.
Biography[]
Past[]
As detailed in notes throughout its location, Specimen 3 was created as part of a lineup of creatures by GL Labs, whose purpose was eventually revealed to raise enough ghosts to invade the land of the living. Specimen 3 was the fifth creation made in GL Labs' newer laboratory.
During this time, Specimen 3 began to become unstable in its conception, prompting the people of the labs to reach out to Spooky for help, only for her to leave the scientists to die. Specimen 3 promptly broke out, causing the facility to become abandoned.
By the time the game starts, there appear to be at least three separate cases of Specimen 3, though whether or not they were all designed at the same time or if one was just able to reproduce is unknown.
Original[]
The Specimen officially starts appearing from room 120, in which the player enters a laboratory in which creatures kept in glasses are seen. While one of the glasses appears to be broken, meaning Specimen 3 escaped from its containment. The player has to take a key to unlock the door, entering a room with a note on the floor and a hole on the ceiling. Once the player reads the note or approaches the exit of the room, Specimen 3 appears from the hole before chasing the player.
While chasing the player, several holes can be seen on the ceiling of the rooms. Specimen 3 will emerge from the first hole that the player walks past. If there are no holes available, it emerges from the door instead.
HD Renovation Mode[]
In the HD Renovation, Specimen 3 moves a lot faster than before, but slows down greatly while turning corners. It can make holes in the ceilings and crawls out of them, making it easier for it to murder the protagonist. When it damages the player, it will scuttle about in a circle before chasing them again. Hitting it with the axe also causes it to move in a circle.
Also in the HD version, Specimen 3 has a death screen. Upon killing the player, they are shown lying on the floor with multiple holes on the ceiling. Multiple Specimen 3 come out from the holes before lunging and mauling the player to death. As the player lies injured, a flash of text appears reading "Once, In a land of dreams, I thought I could be free, But now the hunger never sleeps."
