Composer is a hostile creature found in Flathill.

Appearance

Composers are towering creatures with an unnerving, lanky figure. They have long, slender arms that end in hooked fingers. A constant, low hum emanates from the hole in their chest.

Behavior

Due to their lack of hearing, Composers rely solely on sight to detect threats. They wander their designated area, humming ominously. When they spot a player, they will chase after and attempt to capture the player with their hooked appendages.

Attacks

• Grab: When a player gets too close, the Composer will reach out with its long arms, attempting to grab the player with its skeletal hands.
  • If successful, the Composer will "eat" the player by inserting them into its chest cavity, which instantly kills the player.
• Smack: Occasionally, it will swing its right arm in a wide arc, sweeping from right to left.
• Stomp (AOE): If a player is directly behind a Composer at close range, it will slam its foot down, creating an area-of-effect attack around itself.

Defense

Composers cannot be harmed in any way, but they can be stunned momentarily by high-damage weapons.

Movement

Despite their tall stature, Composers can squeeze through larger doorways. Their size prevents them from entering standard-sized doors, but they will reach through doorways to attempt to grab players.

Strategy

• Avoid Composers as much as possible. Sneak around and be aware of where they are.
• If one sees you, sprint away and look for somewhere to hide, typically in a vent or through a standard size door.
  • Stay away from the doorway, as Composers will attempt to reach in to grab you. Sometimes, they will attempt this multiple times, if they catch sight of you again after moving away from the door.
• If cornered, you may be able to avoid its grasp by circling around it. Maintaining distance is key to avoid being grabbed.

Trivia

• Prior to the early access release, Slushie Bombs froze Composers.
  • At one point, this was changed to slowing them down and making them unable to attack, before granting them immunity to freezing entirely.
