Anomaly 0v0, also known by the locals as BIRD (Boundless Intelligent Reconnaissance Daemon) is an anomalous bird-like entity with glowing red eyes that can be seen watching over sessions, and haunting specific users.
Behavior
The entity usually appears late at night, and will manifest itself by being spawned in one of its various forms by its host (also called "the perpetrator" by its targets). It exhibits a strong affinity towards certain subjects, notably a user going by the name █████. So far two users have been identified as being hosts for the entity.
The entity's presence can very quickly drive the target insane. A worrying new development is the entity's ability to form a haunting circle around a user, where it will appear in a ghostly form. The significance of this finding is not yet known.
Theories
The mechanisms by which the entity is able to persist and develop are not fully understood, but it is theorized to be a strong memetic agent which compels its present host to further its goals. The entity likes to stay dormant in the affected user's inventory until the time is deemed right.
Certain reports appear to contradict this theory, or at least make it incomplete, with the entity appearing in affected user's dreams, and even briefly manifesting in real life. This has not been experimentally confirmed.
One possible explanation is that the entity has learned the power of Ref Hacking and is currently probing reality to try and escape.
Safety
Under no circumstances engage with the entity. If you see it and you're not under the influence of its memetic effects, disconnect from the session immediately. If you are, good luck.
Origin
The entity is thought to have emerged somewhere around the beginning of MMC 2025, during a Twitch stream by the well-known bird named Decoy. After importing the 3D model that would become the entity, its strong memetic effects became apparent when one of the users was influenced to add glowing red eyes to the entity, enabling it to gain full consciousness. With the newly gained power the entity then proceeded to influence another user to further develop it and advance its goals by beginning the first documented hauntings of targets.
