Entity TH-4 flying in an unknown level
Description:
Entity TH-4 or Rainbowlings are a type of small creatures resembling poultry. They've dim colors and may be one of the entities that wanderers can commonly encounter in Cluster TH
Behaviour
The behavior of Entity TH-4 is peaceful in nature. They prefer to stay in flocks and can often be seen clustering together on walls and ceilings, or flying through various levels in Cluster TH. However, when a Rainbowling feels frightened or startled, it emits a brighter light from its body, which is believed to be a self-defense mechanism before it flies away. The sensory system of this entity is somewhat similar to that of butterflies and insects like flies. Additionally, Rainbowlings are known to be creatures that enjoy both light and darkness, but they react negatively to all forms of liquid substances, such as Almond Water. They will instinctively avoid damp or wet areas as much as possible, making it a notable discovery that Rainbowlings prefer dry environments.
Biology
Rainbowlings, based on observation, resemble small poultry-like creatures. They are capable of emitting a seven-color spectrum of light: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The light produced by the entity maintains a constant brightness level, illuminating only itself and remaining steady over time. The dispersion of this light is low and does not affect objects from a distance, appearing more like a cluster of faint glows. However, when in a state of fear or distress, the light intensifies, resembling a flashlight effect,1 and would be more brightened if Rainbowlings were in a group.

The appearance of the entity remains unclear, except that when they are attached to objects or not making any movements, they resemble sheets with a twisted rainbow-like shape. When floating, they resemble a flapping motion, but appear more like lights drifting around, leaving trails of light before fading away shortly afterward. However, Entity TH-4 'have' physical appearance, but for whatever reason, cannot be seen, as if being invisible. According to research by the Backrooms Conservation Group during one of their discovery, one of the research member had wrote down the results as follows:
"I can feel a thousand of legs clinging on my palm, and when it flew away; I can feel something soft and fragile impinging on my hand."
— Dr. Winittha Promchai
Despite the discovery, true appearance of Rainbowlings are yet to be debate. Some group of wanderer believes that their appearance are similar to some sort of butterfly, due to their nature. Contrast with some group that believes they're a bird. But due to preferences, majority of wanderer sees Rainbowlings as some off-spring type of a butterfly. Life cycles of Rainbowlings are, however, remain unclear. More research involving these entity are currently executed by the Backrooms Conservation Group.
With unique light emitting property of Entity TH-4, they can be used for beneficial purpose, such as: acting as a source of light in replacement for standard flashlight, or other man-made ways to keep Rainbowlings actively triggered. For them to illustrate out light. One of the most used examples are: Keeping the entity inside a jar that has been modified into a lantern.
Do's and Don'ts:
Do:
- Leave them be.
- Avoid eliminating if unnecessary.
- View them as a beauty of Cluster TH nature.
Don't:
- Beat or step on them
- Make them frightened in a group, which can result in you having a temporary blind vision.
