The Smiler

Not to be confused with The Smiling Man.

The Smiler is a monster and a major antagonist in It Lurks, then became a supporting character in They Lurk.

Appearance
The Smiler is a simplistic looking monster with a black humanoid and a glowing smile face. He also uses the Robloxian 2.0 body package.

Chapter 3
Grim found a note in the kitchen of The Smiler's cabin that says, "I am still alive" with a smile marked on the bottom right of the page. After a moment, the door opens and The Smiler quickly makes his way into the cabin to jumpscare Grim.

Chapter 4
After The Stranger chases James into the cabin, The Smiler opens the door and jumpscares him.

Chapter 6
The Smiler assists the Player, although he doesn't say it's him doing it.

He played some music through a GPS Walkie-Talkie device in the underground tunnels which leads the Player to a maze. In the first maze, Capone teleports after the Player. The Smiler plays a beeping sound to lead the player to the other end of the maze to the next one. He does the same with the second maze as The Stompers chase after the Player. Upon reaching the end of the second maze into an elevator, the Player finally sees that The Smiler was the one helping them and he proceeds to explain things.

In Office, a side game inspired by the Five Nights at Freddy's games, he is the only one hunting you. You have to watch him on the cameras and shut the doors once he is at the, although you can't see him in the doorways yourself, he can only be seen on the cameras. If you run out of power, he will just kill you as you cannot prevent him from doing so anymore.

In Complex, the possible sequel to Office, he is only active on Night 2 and Night 3, although he acts the same as he does in Office. However, there's a third door/vent directly in front of the player and he is very visible in it, so you don't have to watch the camera for the vent as much.

The Smiler's origin
The smiler is a Creature from it lurks and they lurk. In the past the community beleived it was an enemy and a monster. But since the release of they lurk chapter 6 The shadowy figure helps you. Have you wondered the monsters origin? well, It is revealed in they lurk that the monsters are spreading an infection and turning humans in to monsters. So there must be many smilers out there. How do we know the one from chapter 3 is the ORIGINAL one? Well looking at chapter 6 if this wasn't the original smiler it would have helped the player and Richard wouldn't have shot it. And the "i am still alive" note wouldn't be there. If it was a normal smiler it would have been less aggresive. And we know all of the original Roster are aggresive monsters. The infection only turns people into smilers. So we can conclude that the smilers origins are. The mutator mutated a human erasing all of it's thoughts and anything, this was the first smiler ever. It joined the monster to spread this it became evil. Soon it became a mutator itself mutating other humans into smilers just like itself. And it wants to capture and turn you into a smiler. And that's the origin story for the smiler and why ONE of them helps you in Chapter 6 of they lurk. (this was made as of feb 21st 2022)
