The Locust is the only mobile antagonist in the current pre-alpha build. AI rework is in flight and the Boiled One is teased.
Footsteps → breathing → visual. Audio comes first; use it for retreat timing.

The Keycard sits on The Locust's body until it drops or is taken.
The Locust was originally an analog-horror series by Doctor Nowhere (Silas Orion), later absorbed into SMILEHOOD.
