Specimen 4 / Ringu

Ringu is a yurei – the vengeful spirit of a Japanese woman from the 14th century, who had been killed sometime during the Muromachi period of Japan's history. Presently known as Specimen 4 in the CAT-DOS network, Ringu used to haunt a Japanese school, and was known in urban legends as "the spirit that eats students who stay late after class". She was eventually found by GL Labs, and relocated into Spooky's mansion as a Specimen, where she occupies a fake environment designed to resemble the school. While originally a Japanese speaker, she has been 'taught' to speak English as well.

Specimen 4 appears to be an adult female with long, messy, black hair and pure-white skin. She has solid black eyes and an abnormally wide mouth with black lips; inside, she has rows of sharp teeth and a lengthy black tongue. Her body is abundantly curvy, with a large bust, thick thighs and a sizeable rear. She wears a plain, light-gray garment with wrist-length sleeves and a white sash around her waist. Her fingers extend into long sharp claws that are stained blood-red. Her legs from the knee down are visible, revealing them to be black. As a ghost, she floats above the ground and can pass through walls, floors and ceilings effortlessly. Occasionally, she lapses into an alternate form – in which her mouth hangs agape, showing long sharp teeth and a pointy tongue, and she reveals two extra pairs of twisted arms sprouting out from her back. In this form, her body and head contort and shake violently, and she is able to conjure a "fog" of eye-searing TV static that permeates the rooms.

Ringu spends her afterlife searching for her lost child, who was ripped away from her when she was killed; in her rage and desperation, she pursues and mauls anyone she sees, ripping into them with her claws and biting chunks off their body with her mouth, which can stretch unnaturally wide. Eventually, she eats her victims' corpses whole, once they expire from their wounds. However, there are a rare few instances where she doesn't act hostile to someone whatsoever, instead being strangely protective and nurturing, usually due to them somehow reminding Ringu of her child.

[Type: Active Fatalities: 86 Method: Consumption A 14th century spirit that was contained and relocated here.
