Twitching Anomaly — Animal Hospital

Visual / CCTV Detection LayerEvidence: HIGH

Quick Answer

Twitching: the patient's arms, head and neck jerk uncontrollably, sometimes with a hunched back and an unnaturally stretching neck. It can be seen directly or only through CCTV.

How to Spot It

  • Arms, head and neck twitch uncontrollably.
  • The neck may unnaturally stretch and elongate.
  • CCTV-only variant: Camera Twitching — the patient twitches only on security camera footage.

"One of the harder anomalies to spot" — observe for at least four to five seconds to confirm.

What to Do

Reject — but watch for 4–5 seconds first, because the twitches can be very quick.

Special Mechanics & Warnings

  • Fandom notes a chance the anomaly does not attack and instead walks out like a normal patient (single-source).
  • Can disguise itself as a Mimic (Fandom note).

Source Disagreement

Fandom alone records a chance the Twitching anomaly does not attack and leaves like a normal patient; IGN and Beebom describe it only as an anomaly to reject. Unresolved.
