   Basic Information Nicknames Monster (in a Still Wakes the Deep achievement & by Eileen Finlay) The Horror (by the developer Dominique Buttiens) Died December 26, 1975 North Sea, Beira Delta (presumably) Cause of Death Immobilized/died by the explosion (presumably) Game Information Appears in Still Wakes the Deep Still Wakes the Deep: Siren's Rest (inactive/remains) It's a fucking drill, you've got a fucking drill, so drill through it! Yeah, well, Roper's a whiny old fud, he's got a problem with everything. I don't care if it feels 'off,' just fucking do it! Or I'll come down there myself! Rennick, unknowingly ordering the Shape to be awoken.

   The Shape, or the Monster, is a primary antagonistic entity of unknown origin of Still Wakes the Deep. It seemingly was awoken from the seabed of the North Sea by the Beira Delta oil rig's aggressive drilling, causing it to infest the rig and convert the crew into abominations.

   Origins The Shape's origins is unknown, though it likely has been under the seabed for long enough for it to stay unnoticed, getting disturbed only when drilled into. It seems to exist in or feed off the petroleum oil which otherwise is toxic to living beings. The Shape seems to be somewhat parasitic, mutating and transforming humans around it, although it's overall goals and motives are ambiguous.

   The Beira Delta Disaster In late December 1975, the crew of an oil rig in the North Sea, the Beira D. were on a drilling operation and experienced an unexplained issue blocking the drill. They were ordered to carry on drilling through the blockage by their boss, Rennick, causing the Shape to be awoken. It shook the entire rig, sending workers and equipment flying overboard. Soon it began emitting an ominous blue light surrounded by a fleshy spiral beneath the rig. Soon after, the Shape made its appearance more obvious, it began spreading bulbous mounds of its body throughout the rig which infected or killed most of the survivors.

   It managed to infect several crew members, notably Gibbo, Muir, Trots, Raffs, Rennick, and Addair, twisting and disfiguring them into monstrous extensions of itself that still retained a small degree of their humanity and seemed to remain conscious. The Shape also infected many other crewmates, but instead making them stay stationary, such as Roper and O'Connor. Despite their immobility, they were no less dangerous and soon would reach the same hostility as the others who have been infected. The main Shape itself spent most of the incident growing and spreading throughout the rig, especially the main drill, all while the surviving crew, including Cameron “Caz” McLeary, do their best to escape the rig and its horrors. However, within a few hours, the Shape had killed or transformed all survivors but Caz, and had spread completely throughout the rig and up the drill leaving little space to even move.

   Eventually, Caz, accepting his fate, charges inside the main drill, seeing the twisted internals of the Shape before dropping a lit lighter to the oil beneath, seemingly causing his own death, the destruction of the Beira D, and the almost total destruction of the Shape.

   Aftermath Caz awoke at home in bed with his wife, Suze, after the explosion. He opened his bedroom door and instead of what would be expected of a house, was the North Sea, leaving it unknown as to whether he is dead or under some effect of the Shape.

   Siren’s Rest Eleven years after the Beira D Incident, saturation diver Mhairi comes across remnants of the Shape’s tendrils throughout the wreckage of the rig, believing it to be some kind of coral growth. It appears as though some part of the Shape managed to survive the Beira D’s explosion, as it both begins to affect Mhairi’s mind as she descends further into the ruins and also created another monster that pursues her through the wreckage. When Mhairi is lured into a recreation of being with her father in Skye, one possible outcome sees her surrender to the illusion and become one with the Shape.

   Appearance The Shape seems to be amorphous as it increasingly spreads an amalgam of glowing red flesh and tendrils throughout the Beira D., iridescent from the oil, merging with the infrastructure and the crew throughout the game. Underneath the rig, it appears as a bright blue light surrounded by its appendages, although it’s difficult to understand what it truly is.

   In addition to it's bright blue light, in many areas where it appears, it seems to emit a form of bioluminescence which reflects in nebulous like patterns. Whilst it's the true nature of this light is also unknown, it is consistent with deep sea flora and fauna, many of which use bioluminescence as, offensive, defensive and communicative forms.

   Towards the end of the game, The Shape's glowing color changed from blue to reddish. This may correlate with the monster's emotional state and aggressive behavior, although this is still speculative. However, in the Siren's Rest, a glowing blue light is visible in the deeper trench, suggesting The Shape is in a calm state.

   Victims (In order of appearance) Directly Various crewmembers infected or impaled by the Shape.

   Unidentified crew member (infected) Gibbo (Infected) Three unidentified crew members (all infected into one) Trots (Infected) Boyd (possibly infected) Muir (Infected) Rennick (Infected) Addair (Infected) O’Conner (Infected) Roper (Infected) Raffs (Infected) Alex (Impaled in Accommodation) Jamie (Caught through the toilet by The Shape) Mhairi (Determinate) Indirectly Various crew members killed, not by the Shape itself but rather, by an extension or effect of it.

   Douglas (Killed by an infected Gibbo) Sunil (Killed by an infected Muir) McLurg (Killed by an infected Muir) Dobbie (Killed by an infected Muir) Banky (killed by an infected Muir) Archie (Possibly killed by an infected Rennick, or died in the helicopter crash) Scooby (Killed by an infected Rennick) Unidentified crew member (Killed by a large fall in Leg A) Unidentified crew member (Killed by [enter] in Leg A) Schaw and Shaw (killed by Trots in accommodation) Bannon (killed by Trots in accommodation) Andy (killed by Trots in accommodation) Bannon (killed by Trots in accommodation) Innes (Killed by an infected Muir) Extensions Monsters created by the Shape while not being an infected crew member.

   The Siren (Unidentified being roaming the undersea wreckage of the Beira D.) Abilities and Powers Extreme Speed It seems to be able to move incredibly quickly, demonstrated by how it managed to block the hallway of Caz's path in a short amount of time.

   Visual and Auditory Hallucinations When being present nearby, humans seem to experience some sort of hallucination of their memories with loved ones and familiars. This hallucination can possibly be broken by a sudden bright flash or possibly other abrupt methods, as demonstrated in Siren's Rest, where Mhairi takes a photo of the fake Rob's body, causing it to disappear immediately.

   Infection The Shape is capable of infecting living organisms via direct contact (and potentially through breathing its spores) and using the body as its host. It then quickly spreads in the body until it has gained total control over the subject and transforms them beyond recognition. The Shape may be unable to infect non-humans, evidenced by the many dead seagulls that can be found outside.

   Enhanced Hearing Those infected by the Shape appear to be more sensitive to noise. Characters like Muir even state the ability to hear the heartbeats of survivors.

   Trivia The entity does not have an official name, and "The Shape" is the name the game community has settled on. The Shape is heavily inspired by the Thing from the novel Who Goes There?, and the movies that share the creature's name. No one is ever seen undergoing transformation by the Shape in-game, the closest to such being Trots’ and Muir's transformations (one is heard through a door, the other through a phone call). However, it's likely the transformation is somewhat similar to how the Thing infects people. The Shape is also the nickname of Michael Myers, the primary antagonist in the Halloween movies, which, like The Thing, were made by John Carpenter. Olof Jönsson (Syndrome Voices) was the one who did the Creature vocalizations for the Infected. In the Siren's Rest DLC, a blue light can be seen in the deeper trench, suggesting that the Shape could still be alive. In Siren's Rest, the coral on the Colonized bodies will glow in the dark for a few seconds after shining your light at it.
