Smiley

Smiley is the first monster encountered in Labyrinthine, wandering a small section of the maze. He appears to be blind, however, you will find that his sense of hearing is exceptional. His body is marked with strange, red runes.

Mechanics (Spoilers)
Smiley will wander aimlessly through the maze until its interest is piqued by the sound of a player. In this heightened state, the runes on its body glow, and it turns its head while listening for the source of the sound. If a player moves during this listening behaviour, Smiley becomes aggressive and will hunt the player.

Player Input:

Smiley will do a light growl and his runes will glow a bright red - when this is happening freeze and do not move, he is actively searching for the sound he just heard. If he growls twice then he is hunting and you can attempt to run away, but most often he will end up catching you. Other nearby players can become casualties during his "hunt mode", but the most sound advice is to stay frozen.

Smiley will respond to proximity chat - so make sure to remain silent when he is near or you will trigger his search or hunt functions.

Often times, but not always, when "search mode" is triggered he will change direction, so you can use this to your tactical advantage.

Tip: You can hear him muttering and talking to himself as he walks. Make sure your game sounds are turned up a bit so you can hear him from farther away before your trigger his search mode.
