An Anonymous Japanese creator created an ever learning AI to create the perfect AI
for a horror entity. He had trained it to talk, transform, climb, fly and break blocks.

He came up with a name for the advanced entity, officially calling it "Phobic".

This advanced entity could climb, swim and crawl on ceilings, but most importantly
the ability to adapt and transform into different sizes and forms.

But what the creator didn't know is that the ever growing
and learning AI had made Phobic sentient.

The "phobic-ai.jar" file was somehow discovered only
20 megabytes while holding a sentient being inside.

What he does:

Stalking Variant:

He spawns every 2-3 nights (configurable).
When he attempts to spawn, there are 2 things that could happen.
Either he successfully spawns and triggers a spawn sound, or trigger the-

"Spawn Fail Mechanic"

This event has a 50% chance (configurable) of happening when he attempts to spawn.
He will not spawn, but trigger something similar to the Cave Dwellers "cavenoise".
This event will shortly attempt to spawn him again, and will keep repeating until
he successfully spawns and triggers the spawn noise.

After spawning, he will stalk the player silently with no warning other than his glowing symbols.
But when he successfully stalks and gets close enough (configurable), he transforms into the-

Monster Variant:

After transforming, there are 2 things that could happen.
Either he gives chase and starts attacking, or trigger a jumpscare.
the jumpscare has a 30% chance (configurable) of happening,
despawning him before he can give chase
and will shortly attempt to spawn him again.

If he gives chase, he has many features such as :
Climb walls/pillars
Break pillar platforms
Swim through water and lava
Open doors
Escapes Boats
Breaks through walls

If you have survived his chase, there are 2 things that could happen.
Either he simply despawns with a noise or he could transform into the-

Mind Variant:

This variant is a faster, more powerful variant of the previous monster variant.
If this variant catches you, you are instantly met with a jumpscare and killed in an instant.
While he's transforming, you'll have just enough time to try and do
whatever you can to escape.
As he transforms, he gets more unstable. This variant will stumble around often.
You can kill this variant, this mod has progression.
Find out yourself.

Hybrid Variant:

This is a cave spawning variant, specifically wandering in deep caves.
He will fly slower than a player can run but has the edge as he will
break through blocks and tunnel through to you with a 1 second cooldown.
He has no spawn sound or warning, the only sound cue
is when you hear him tunneling to your position.
He instantly disappears in contact with the sky.

Cave Variant:

This variant has two ways it can spawn.
1 : If the Stalking Variant spawns in a cave, it can transform into this variant.
2 : A normal spawn timer like hybrid phobic, with a very noticeable spawn sound.
This variant is the second strongest variant in the mod, extremely powerful and fast.
It's extremely large and creates wide tunnels in your caves.
If you hear his roar, you need to surface as fast as possible before he tunnels to you,
and he does it very fast.

Events:

Bloody Sign:

It spawns every 2-3.5 days (configurable).
It will appear at random spots on the surface, reading in japanese:
"I always watch".
The text is carved in blood, and the sign is slightly larger than a normal sign.

Bed Bloody Sign:

It has a 10% chance to appear beside you when sleeping.
It has the same appearance as its other variant.

Phobic's Warning:

This event occurs when phobic's spawntimer reaches less than 10000,
meaning he spawns next night.
Creepy, reversed, distorted and noised music plays while you
simultaneously have Blindness and Darkness.
This event lasts 38 seconds.
