Dark Latex creatures, like the name implies, are a species of Latex creatures that appears in Changed and it's Special Edition. They were, according to lore, the first latex creature developed. They have a wide variety of subspecies.

Appearance These creatures appear different from each other. Males have a different body; females have a different mask and tail; and cubs resemble small dogs. There are also dragon-like ones, the Yufeng dragons, which have wings and black horns. Puro and Dragon King also belong to their species (Dragon King being solid, however.). They do have some similar traits, such as white masks, black bodies, and white eyes. Another part of the species consists of gray-furred wolves bearing red crystals, commonly called Crystal Wolves. Similar to the Crystal Wolves, Colin can be transfurred into a Bei Feng, a dark blue dragon with yellow eyes and hair, by touching a crystal. The Crystal Wolf crystals are red, while the Bei Fengs are green. Both the wolves and the Bei Feng lack the mask of their relatives and their gooey properties, making them non-latex creatures.

There is also a Dark Latex Ecosystem which contains bacteriophages and the Wendigo boss. The bacteriophages are harmless, unless they are knocked down. The Wendigo appears to be a more powerful dark latex, having a blue mask, along with being able to manipulate her environment, sending macrophages and blood cells after Colin to transfur him. The bloodcell can mutate into a Light Latex.

Behavior Each dark latex behaves somewhat differently. Most only come off as hostile due to their playful but dumb nature, but the dark latex wolves are hostile instead of playful like the rest of their species, however they are quite affectionate as pups. Every dark latex creature is the natural enemy of the light latexes. They will attack each other on sight, absorbing each other as food. They are capable of feeling grief, as displayed in the Special Edition near the end of the Office level, where Colin runs past a latex cemetery, involving multiple solidified dark latex creatures surrounded by flowers.

The Yufeng cubs love to play games with humans, as displayed with the box puppies. There is also a Yufeng Cub Quick Time Event (QTE), where the pup attempts to transfur Colin as a host. With age, Yufengs can become more aggressive, as displayed in the two-headed Yufeng's Post-Transfur Screen.

In the Dark Latex Ecosystem, small crystals will appear on the ground. If they are stepped on, it will create a harmless dark latex pup which follows you around. The crystal acts as a tail for the pup. Bacteriophages will spawn in the "galaxy puddles," chasing the player only if it is knocked down. It injects a glowing core into Colin, causing him to die and 3 crystals break out of his back. The crystals will eventually turn into Gem wolves, a variant of dark latex wolves, just with blue gem masks.

The bloodcells that the Wendigo sends will go around Colin and envelope him in dark latex. A crystal mask will appear and be put on his face. Sometimes, the mask won't attach, causing it to fall and break. The broken pieces will become light latex, attaching onto his breasts, turning him to a light latex.

Life Cycle Dark Latex The Dark Latex creatures start off as a transparent, dark crystal, which after some time will 'hatch' and break apart like an egg, releasing multiple small newborn wolf or dragon cubs, depending on the subspecies, and they retain some of the knowledge and possibly memories of their parent.

Both light and dark latex beasts create their own goo naturally over the course of their individual lifespan. Dark creatures slowly revert to their crystalline states before they become part of the next generation of pups. Otherwise, transfurring a host can result in another, new beast, sharing some characteristics with the host, such as hairstyle, body shape and type, and occasionally eye color. Having this odd life cycle they can't truly "die" from aging, simply resetting and starting anew with a refreshed body. This asexual reproduction (despite them having genitals) only requires one creature, and can result in multiple offspring.

Dark latex beasts, when their mask-like core is destroyed, will not be able to have their body stick together, effectively dying. Though over time new crystals can form from the broken mask, which may start the life cycle once again.

Behaviors and Abilities All latex creatures have different behavior, however mostly similar: They have an extremely strong instinctual urge to convert or assimilate anyone they come across. On at least two separate occasions, the latex beasts the human runs into will have a heart bubble above their heads when spotting him. They then instantly go on to try to transfur/absorb him.

Just about every latex creature sees humans as prey to either assimilate or convert. Puro is notable for being one of the only creatures that doesn't try to transfur the human on sight (though he still does transfur you if you do not befriend him, resulting in one of the bad endings.). However, their behavior does change a little bit in Special Edition, where most of the latex creatures still hunt the human, but quite a few are apathetic and do not actively hunt him down.
