Monster File: Midnight Entity
Place of Origin: Midnight
Life Form: Unknown
The Midnight entity is some sort of extraterrestial lifeform of unknown origins native to the planet Midnight.
When the Crusader Tour shuttle breaks down on Midnight, the mechanic notices a strange thing like a shadow of some sort, which he claimed to see it running toward the shuttle. During the Crusader Tour to the Sapphire Waterfall, the strange entity attacked the tour bus. The entity at first knocked on the Shuttle and then, when it had found a host, somehow made it inside the shuttle, without any sign of a hole in the vehicle. The entity, without a host, was strong enough to rip away the cockpit of the shuttle. It possessed Sky Silvestry. The entity seemed to gather the strength of its host and then repeats every word a person said in exact precisions, including the square root of Pi in 30 decimal places. This is most likely due to the fact that having probably never come into contact with another lifeform before it can not understand the english language. The being seems to be able to learn at an incredibly rapid pace and absorbs the passengers speech without forgetting, hesitating, or making a single mistake. Eventually, the entity copied word-for-word in the exact same time, focusing on the Doctor's voice, and eventually stealing the the Doctor's voice, before the Hostess threw herself and Sky, who had the entity inside of her, off the shuttle to save the Doctor.
