Painter

The Painter is an Unknown Specimen, that is randomly encountered in the Immemorial Gallery during Endless Mode.

Appearance
The Painter is a wooden, mannequin-like figure with a slender build. His limbs are disproportionately long compared to his torso. His left arm holds a palette while his right has a paintbrush.

He wears turquoise overalls and a black beret. His body, especially the head, is covered in splashes of pitch black paint. When enraged, these spots show white eyes.

Introduction
The Painter is found in his docile form, peacefully painting and observing his other drawings, not facing the player nor bothered by them. However, while he is docile you are unable to move onto the next room until he enters his enraged form.

Chase
The Painter himself will not harm the player, but rather follow them at a distance until the pursuit is over. Occassionally, he will stop at the nearest canvas he can find in the environment, and sketch up a foe or two with a few quick brush strokes.

Said sketches run at varying speeds, though all can be outrun. They will dissipate after a while, or when catching the player and doing some damage by essentially splashing themselves onto them. Health does not regenerate from this during the chase.

The chase pauses if he -or any of his nearby sketches- can't see you, and they will roam freely.

Attack
Each sketch that hits the player will take a quarter of their health. Vision will increasingly distort with each hit. The damage may change depending on the sketch, but it will still take a few hits to die.

Trivia

 * The Painters' design is by PuppetTheMarionette.
 * He's the only Specimen that does not deal any direct damage.
 * The Painter is responsible for the paintings found throughout the Immemorial Gallery during both Endless Mode and the regular game.
 * This heavily implies he's the one who drew Steve, another Specimen encountered in the same area.
