Specimen 13 (A.K.A Mermaid[1]) is the penultimate Specimen the player encounters in Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion. She first appears in Room 910.

Appearance

Specimen 13 resembles a young white woman with shaggy, grey hair. Before the chase, she is seen sitting on a floating crate, with her back to the player, wearing a towel around her waist. She reveals her true form during her death screen, where she morphs into a black-eyed elderly woman with long sharp teeth.

Gameplay

Introduction

Specimen 13 lurks within the flooded rooms of Room 910. She quietly sits on top of a floating crate. When the player gets too close, she will dive into the water and begin the chase.

Attack

Specimen 13 deals 20 damage with a half a second cooldown.

Chase

Specimen 13 will only move when the player is standing in the water and can move through walls. She can only be detected through loud splashes she makes when moving. When the player stands on a crate, she won't move and will be unable to harm them. When the player goes back into the water, she will resume chase, although she will do so farther away than her last splash, preventing her from dealing unavoidable damage if she stopped moving too close to the player.

Death

Once the player gets hit enough times, the screen will cut to Specimen 13's hair covered face, with bubbles appearing on screen, as if the specimen is submerging and drowning the player. The screen will then flash red a few times and show Specimen 13's true face before fading to black.

Trivia

  • Specimen 13's behavior is a reference to Kaernk from the horror game Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

  • Specimen 13 cannot reach the player while they are on top of one of the crates, despite the fact that she can be seen sitting on top of a crate before the chase.
  • Specimen 13 may represent the Sirens found in Greek mythology.

Specimen 13's 3D model in HD Renovation.

Appearance

Specimen 13 now has a 3D model. The towel around her waist was replaced by what appears to be a fish's tail. She is wearing nothing on her top half. She now has an animation for diving into the water when the player gets close. Her model isn't visible while chasing, instead only showing the splashes, but does leave a foam trail when wandering around the room.

Gameplay

Attack

The attack deals 45 damage, killing the player in 3 consecutive hits, but there is now a 3 second cooldown between each hit.

Chase

She now moves faster than the player's sprinting speed while they're in the water but no longer goes through walls.

On the 2021 Halloween Update, she received a rework to her chase: new chase rooms have been added, her chase duration was increased to match the one from the original game and can rechase in both Story Mode and Endless Mode, and has received some new mechanics. She no longers spawns from the entrance door, now spawning somewhere in the flooded rooms, most commonly spawning from the grates that can now appear in her chase rooms. These grates also create shortcuts for Specimen 13 which she will use to ambush the player.

When rechasing, right before the flooded rooms, the textures of the room will change to match those of the flooded rooms.

When the player stands on a crate, she will start wandering away from the player, leaving a foam trail as she moves. She tends to go towards the nearest grate. Specimen 13 constantly moves and doesn't seem to stay in one spot.

In some of the new rooms, the water is too deep for the player to traverse. The player needs to find and restart a pump in order to progress or, in one case, a bridge to cross to the other side of the room.

It is possible but extremely difficult to dodge Specimen 13's attack if the player side-steps and moves forward when Specimen 13 is charging straight at them.

Endless Mode

Specimen 13 now appears in Endless Mode like she would appear in Story Mode within her rooms. Specimen 2, Specimen 5, The Old Man and another Specimen 13 are the only ones that can join the chase.

Both Specimen 5 and The Old Man are slowed down by the water, while Specimen 2 floats over it. The first two will not break down the door when entering, similar to Unknown Specimen 1's pixelated doors.

Trivia

  • Before the 2021 Halloween Update, Specimen 13 could only be encountered once in Endless Mode and would not rechase, just like Specimen 7.
