Manifests as a shifting mass of anti-rendered space - a void that moves against the simulation's rendering. Where it passes, corrupted code temporarily stabilizes, held together by threads of reversed static. Its form constantly shifts between coherent shape and formless decay, as if it cannot fully commit to existing. The bright cyan seams where its own fractured code has been fused create a distinctive visual signature.

Appears to competitors whose code has destabilized beyond normal recovery, offering to weave their fragmented existence back into the simulation. Those who accept become 'stitched' - permanent half-states, neither fully deleted nor properly rendered. This creates the deathmatch's ultimate temptation: exist forever as a glitched echo, or face true deletion in the Cache Grave.
