What is The Locust?

The Locust is named in the official credit to DoctorNowhere. Not Tonight awards you for personally repelling the Locust from an entrance for the first time. A recorded on-screen tip says the Locust does not breach lit areas. The game never defines that phrase. The verified light play in those nights is house power and floodlights, not the flashlight. No recording used here describes its face. It is sometimes heard as Locus.
