Suskirstomos

Suskirstomos is a fictional creature from the 2014 indie horror game *Phasmophobia*, developed by *Cryptic Studios*. The entity is one of several ghosts and supernatural beings that players must identify and banish from haunted locations. Suskirstomos is described as a spectral figure resembling a skeletal, humanoid creature with elongated limbs and a distorted, often grinning face. Its appearance is intended to evoke a sense of unease and dread, fitting the game’s horror theme.

In gameplay, Suskirstomos is detected through various in-game tools, such as EMF readers, which measure electromagnetic disturbances, and spirit boxes, which allow players to communicate with entities. The creature is known for its erratic behavior, including sudden movements, loud noises, and attempts to possess players’ characters. Its presence is often accompanied by eerie sounds, such as whispers or distorted laughter, adding to the game’s immersive atmosphere.

Suskirstomos is part of a larger lore within *Phasmophobia*, which blends elements of folklore, urban legends, and supernatural horror. While its origins are not explicitly detailed in the game, its design and behavior align with classic ghostly tropes, such as vengeful spirits or restless dead. The creature’s inclusion reflects the game’s focus on psychological terror and the unknown, encouraging players to rely on teamwork and deduction rather than direct confrontation.

The name "Suskirstomos" itself appears to be a constructed term, possibly combining elements of "soul," "skeleton," and other linguistic influences to create a distinct and memorable entity. Its design and role in the game contribute to the overall experience of exploring haunted spaces and confronting supernatural threats.
