Abnormality 0007

Abnormality Surname: entity:gm_000

Risk Level: Disruptive

Status Level: Fragmented

Type: Entity

Abnormality #0007, referred to as "entity:gm_000" describes an unexplained in-game phenomenon where an NPC version of the G-Man character appears in a Garry's Mod session without being spawned by any player.

This figure, identical in appearance to the standard Half-Life 2 G-Man model, may spawn:
In distant corners of the map.
Outside the playable area, sometimes clipping through objects.
Behind the player and visible when turning around.
Occasionally in sealed rooms with no access.

The entity uses the default npc_generic or npc_gman class, but does not respond to scripted input, admin removal, or standard AI commands. Attempts to delete the NPC may succeed temporarily, only for it to reappear moments later in a different location.

In multiplayer, only one player at a time may see the entity - often leading to reports of hallucination or desync. Players who attempt to noclip toward it may find the model vanishing before they arrive.

Players have reported the following after encountering the entity:
The sense of being watched constantly.
Save files titled g_bak_001 appearing without the user's knowledge.

entity:gm_000 does not actually exist on any page or forum, but rather it manifests in a save of its choosing.
