Tail (尾目)
In Dr. K's laboratory, an old recording taken on the day of the riots by an unknown cameraman can be found. Tail (尾目 Wěiba) is a powerful creature featured in the Special Edition, and is the only character aside from Colin, that is controllable by the player.
Appearance
It originally resembled DragonSnow, the game's creator, wearing a pair of latex shorts with a neatly-cut hole in the back to accommodate the tail.
In its default form, "Tail" is a large, fluffy bipedal latex creature resembling the Alien Goo in some ways. It has slits for eyes, but unlike the Alien Goo's three eye slits, Tail has six colored bright red-pink. It appears slightly bigger than most other latex beasts.
In its shark form, Tail develops two stripes on its face, possibly resembling gills, and has moved most of its fluffiness to the head. It possesses large arm and back fins, as well as smaller hip fins. Additionally, its ears have a different shape.
In its dragon form, Tail takes on a feminine appearance. The fluff on its face grows longer, resembling hair. It has some fluff around its neck and, similar to its other forms, it possesses differently shaped ears, this time being thinner than its ears in its regular form. It also has a pair of wings and a long tail to support its weight.
Background
Originally, Tail was just a failed latex experiment, appearing heavily reminiscent of DragonSnow, the game's creator. One day, the experiment's tail mutated and took over the experiment's body, appearing visibly happier.
Behavior and Abilities
All latex beasts by design seek out humans to absorb, but on some level, Tail is aware of what it's doing, possibly having heigthened intelligence. The monster cleverly goes after vials containing mutagens in the lab. Once it absorbs them, Tail can shift between powerful shark and draconic forms to overwhelm the guards attempting to attack it. Unlike most Light Latex creatures, Tail shows no hostility towards dark latex creatures at all, in fact setting them free. This might be a sign of its higher intelligence than its peers.
Tail is extremely determined in its pursuit to transfur everyone while escaping. It endlessly attempts to escape the complex, no matter how many humans try to hinder it. Thunder Science Security despite shooting it repeatedly with taser guns normally effective against goo beasts and exploiting its inability to absorb mechas, were wholly unable to recapture it, or stop its rampage. Tail keeps bulldozing through any obstacle in its pursuit of human hosts. It even transfurs the cameraman at the end of its first campaign.
When it dawns on the last remaining guards they can not defeat this monster, they try to escape to no avail.

Trivia
- Tail's segment concludes with a jumpscare at the end of its final cutscene, where it finds and pounces upon the camera.
- Aside from the Human, Tail is currently the only other character the player can control, and it's a nigh-invulnerable latex monster to boot. Tail's journey travels through Labs I, G, and K. The final area being the starting room that's right outside the protagonist Human's cryogenic preservation chambers.
