🗨	"Bob wants to make friends with that Timothy guy... it's a- it's- it's a bug, man!" - El Goblino mentioning Timothy

Timothy (Originally referred to as Spider) is a minor entity in DOORS, spawning in containers in the Hotel.

Appearance

Timothy is a cartoony black spider with eight thin legs, dark green eyes, and two fangs on its cephalothorax.

Behavior

Taking the appearance of a small spider, once the player has opened a drawer with Timothy inside, it jumps at the player dealing 5 points of damage (0-4 if the player has 5 or less health, unless the "Itchy" modifier is enabled). After the attack, Timothy will fall off of the player's screen and disappear.

Notes

• Timothy has a $\frac{1}{200}$ (0.5%) chance to appear in any drawer or loot chest.
• Timothy can appear twice in one container.
• Timothy can spawn in The Reception, Dark Rooms, Seek's Crescendo, Door 49, and The Library.
• Timothy is the first harmful entity that cannot kill the player, the second being Snare.
• It is possible to finish the game without encountering Timothy at all.
• Similar to Jack and Shadow, Timothy is intended to be a jumpscare only, so there is no risk of dying to Timothy.
• If the player is at five health points or below, it will leave them with 1-4 health points remaining. Because of this, it is simply impossible to die to Timothy without glitches. The same goes with Snare.
• There is a bug that if the player turns away after finding Timothy, then the jumpscare will happen 'behind their back'.
• There is a bug where Timothy can hurt the player before the jumpscare.
• If the Modifier "Itchy" is on, Timothy can kill you, and have a death screen of "Died to Timothy".

Modifiers

• If "Bug Spray" is enabled, Timothy cannot spawn.
• If "Itchy" is enabled, Timothy has a higher chance of spawning and is rendered a lethal entity.

Bugs

• There is a bug that causes Timothy to spawn outside the container, making it floating in the air.

Trivia

• It has been confirmed by developers that the name Timothy is not a reference to anything and was just a joke that they came up with when adding its achievement.^{[citation needed]}
• There is a Timothy easter egg in the Lobby. In the hall with the leaderboards, there is a spider web where Timothy resides.
• Timothy has its own UGC item named Timothy, and another named Timothy Jr.
  • Timothy Jr. was originally named "Timothy with a hat".
  • Timothy Jr. is the same size as Timothy.
  • Timothy was the first entity to have more than one UGC item dedicated to it.
• Redibles has expressed interest in making another UGC item of Timothy, which consists of a shirt pocket with Timothy inside.
• Timothy's jumpscare doesn't appear to jump directly onto the player's model, as in the 3rd person glitch, it still jumps on the screen.
• Before the Modifiers Update, It was possible to get a message from Guiding Light saying "Died to Spider". There are four ways to do this.
  • The first way is to get damaged by Timothy and then encounter a bug where you die to something that isn't a known entity. Since Timothy was the last known entity to damage you, you will get the "Died to Spider" message on the death screen, and Guiding Light will not give any advice.
  • The second way is to encounter enough of Timothy at once that the game can't register your health in time and you die.
  • The third way is only possible at Door 50 and is quite rare to encounter; if Timothy happens to appear in any of the drawers in the Library, the Figure will be alerted when you open that drawer, and if you die to the Figure after this, it will also say "Died to Spider" strangely enough.
  • The fourth way is only possible in SUPER HARD MODE (April Fools exclusive). If a player encounters Greed in a drawer and gets damaged by Timothy, and then continues collecting Gold until they die to Greed, the player will get the "Died to Spider" message.
  • The Methods are no longer possible as it was replaced by the Died To Timothy message.
• Timothy is the only non-joke entity that can spawn in Door 0.
• Timothy is the only entity that resembles an animal (spider).
• Timothy is one of the few entities to be referred to directly by El Goblino, the others being Bob and Jeff.
• Timothy will likely appear in The Mines and other future floors.
• It is unknown if Timothy is a supernatural being or a simple spider.
• Timothy is confirmed to be aromantic and asexual.
• Bob once tried to be friends with Timothy, according to El Goblino's dialogue.
• Timothy used to have red eyes. Possibly before the Hotel+ update.
• When Timothy attacks the player, it makes a hissing noise.
• Out of all the entities, Timothy probably tastes the best.
