Entity #006 - ITs Tool

Description

Entity #006 is a corrupted catalog accessory that appeared on the Roblox marketplace in June 2014 under various titles including "ITs Tool," "The Deepest Desires," and simply a blank name field. The item's thumbnail displayed as pure black, a featureless void with no visible geometry or texture. The creator field alternated between "[DELETED]," "ITs Deepest Desires," and strings of corrupted characters. Price varied wildly from 0 Robux to sold out, sometimes changing while users were viewing the page.

Between June 14 and June 16, 2014, approximately 47 users successfully purchased and equipped the item. The accessory had no visible model when worn. Instead, it caused progressive corruption of the user's avatar, spreading to other equipped items, then to the website interface itself, and finally to other players who viewed the affected profile.

Visual Corruption Pattern

The effects manifested in consistent stages across all documented cases:

Stage 1 (0-5 minutes after equipping): The avatar's limbs begin displaying incorrect colors, textures bleeding between body parts. A leg might take on the texture of the torso, or an arm might render in colors not present in any equipped items. Other players report seeing the affected user's avatar normally during this stage.

Stage 2 (5-20 minutes): Geometry corruption begins. The avatar's proportions distort, limbs stretching or compressing independently. Body parts phase through each other or render at wrong attachment points. The head might appear at waist level, or arms might extend from the torso at impossible angles. The avatar's collision box remains normal, but the visual representation divorces from its actual position. Other players now see these distortions.

Stage 3 (20-40 minutes): Corruption spreads to other equipped accessories. Items the user is wearing begin displaying #006's black void texture, replacing their normal appearance with featureless darkness. Hats, faces, gear items, all become identical black silhouettes. The corruption affects the items in the user's inventory as well. Opening the avatar editor shows all owned items rendered as black voids.

Stage 4 (40+ minutes): Environmental corruption. The game world around the affected user begins displaying visual glitches. Textures fail to load, rendering as black or white noise. The skybox inverts colors or displays corrupted patterns. Other players in the same server report seeing these effects only in proximity to the infected user, as if corruption radiates from them in a 50-stud radius.

Stage 5 (Variable, 1-6 hours): Interface corruption. The affected user's GUI elements begin failing. Chat boxes display garbled text or don't appear at all. Buttons become unclickable. The player list shows usernames as strings of symbols. Health bars, leaderboards, custom UIs, all progressively break down into geometric artifacts and color noise.

Stage 6 (Terminal): Complete visual breakdown. The user's screen displays only fragments of the game world interspersed with black voids, texture corruption, and geometric patterns that hurt to look at. Multiple users reported seeing "things moving in the black parts," shapes that didn't correspond to any game objects. At this stage, attempting to leave the game or close Roblox often fails. The window becomes unresponsive, and forcing it closed results in the corruption persisting through the next login.

Transmission and Spread

Entity #006 demonstrated contagious properties. Users who viewed the profiles of infected accounts began experiencing corruption in their own games within 24 hours, despite never equipping the item themselves. The progression was slower in secondary cases, typically taking 2-3 times longer to reach each stage, but otherwise identical.

Screenshots and videos of #006 effects posted to social media or forums caused viewers to report "afterimages" of the corruption. These manifested as brief flashes of black void appearing in their peripheral vision while playing Roblox, or textures momentarily failing to load in patterns matching documented #006 corruption. In most cases, these aftereffects faded within a week, but 8 users reported persistent visual glitches lasting months.

Documented Cases

User: Aral_Merkel22 (Primary case): First documented owner of Entity #006. Equipped the item at approximately 3:47 PM EST on June 14, 2014. Posted a single message to the Roblox forums at 4:52 PM: "it sees through everything. it knows whats real." The post included a screenshot of their avatar, completely corrupted, standing in a game that appears normal except for a perfect sphere of void surrounding their character, consuming terrain and structures.

At 5:14 PM, Aral's account went offline. Attempts to visit their profile returned error 403. Their avatar image on the profile had updated one final time, showing a completely black silhouette in the familiar stance of a Roblox avatar, but with no features, no colors, nothing but darkness shaped like a person. The image remained visible for approximately 30 minutes before the entire profile became inaccessible.

Attempts to search for Aral_Merkel22 in any Roblox system return no results, as if the account never existed. However, their posts and messages in games remain visible, username showing as "[USER DELETED]" but with timestamps and content intact, providing the only evidence they were real.

User: ████████ (Secondary infection): Never equipped #006 but visited Aral_Merkel22's profile before it was deleted. Began experiencing Stage 1 corruption approximately 6 hours later. Reached Stage 4 over the course of three days. Their final forum post before account deletion: "everything is breaking. my avatar. my games. my friends avatars when i look at them. i can see it spreading. black spots on everything. STI. STOP." The message was posted with a screenshot showing multiple players in a server, all of them displaying partial void corruption, black patches replacing portions of their bodies.

This user's account was forcibly deleted by TREA intervention on June 18, 2014. However, their friends list shows them still online, logged in continuously since the deletion date. Their status never updates. Their location is listed as "[UNKNOWN]." One friend who tried sending them a message reported the message was delivered successfully. No response was ever received.

Mass Incident, June 16, 2014: A popular roleplay game with 800 concurrent players experienced a cascade failure when an infected user joined. Within 20 minutes, over 200 players in that server reported visual corruption. The server did not crash, but became progressively unplayable as the game world itself began corrupting. Buildings rendered as black wireframes. NPCs became silhouettes. The skybox displayed patterns described as "breathing" or "pulsing."

Server logs from the incident show something impossible: player count incrementing beyond the server's maximum capacity, reaching 847 players despite a 50-player limit. The additional "players" had no usernames, appeared in the player list as blank entries, and server position data showed them all occupying the same coordinates as the infected user. When the server was finally manually shut down, 23 of the legitimate players found themselves unable to join any other games. Loading would complete, but they would spawn in a black void with the chat message: "SERVER FULL."

Removal and Containment

Roblox moderation removed Entity #006 from the catalog on June 17, 2014. All known instances were forcibly unequipped from user inventories. However, this did not stop the corruption in already affected users. The visual distortions continued to progress even after removal.

47 primary cases (users who equipped the item) had their accounts terminated. Secondary cases (infected through profile viewing or proximity) numbered approximately 200+, most of whom were placed under monitoring. Accounts showing Stage 4+ corruption were deleted as a containment measure.

However, Entity #006 was not completely eliminated. The item occasionally reappears in the catalog, always under slightly different names, always with a black void thumbnail. These reappearances last only minutes before automatic moderation systems detect and remove it. The creator account remains unidentified. Attempts to trace the upload source return corrupted data or lead to deleted accounts that predate the platform's creation.

More disturbing: some terminated accounts still appear in-game. Friends of deleted users report seeing them online, joining servers, standing motionless in spawn areas. These avatars display Stage 6 corruption, completely black silhouettes with no features. They do not respond to chat or interaction. Their nametags display correctly, but clicking on them to view profile returns errors. When other players approach these entities, they report their own avatars beginning to show Stage 1 corruption symptoms within minutes.
