"People have been committing sins since long ago. "Why do they commit sins, knowing it's wrong?" "
- Punishing Bird's Entry
Punishing Bird (O-02-56), also known as "Small Bird", is a small, white-feathered bird with small wings and a red mark on its chest. While in its containment room, it rests on a black perch. Punishing Bird becomes entirely red while being suppressed.
Ability[]
Punishing Bird's ability will trigger when its Qliphoth Counter reaches 0. Its Qliphoth Counter can fluctuate in the following ways:
- Decrease by 1 with 20% chance when an Agent starts working on another Abnormality in the facility (including Tools), unless Punishing Bird is being worked on concurrently.
- Decrease by 1 when an Agent in the facility panics.
Breach (Initial)[]
While breaching because an Agent panicked, the panicking Agent will be set as target and the bird's attacks will heal the Agent's SP by (3-5). Otherwise, the bird will move from agent to agent with its attacks dealing only a small amount of Red Damage (0-1) for 3 seconds.
Agents and Clerks will not automatically suppress the Abnormality once they are in the same room but Fear Damage will still be applied.
Punishing Bird will voluntarily return to its containment unit once an Agent recovers from panic or after it has dealt (8-13) Red Damage.
It possesses low HP at 200 and 40 Movement Speed.
Breach (Attacked)[]
If Punishing Bird is hit by an Agent in any way (including reflected damage by the E.G.O. Weapon from Dream of a Black Swan), the Abnormality changes form, becoming red, increases its HP from 200 to 1000, and replaces its normal "pecking" attack to a devastating "bite" attack that deals an immense amount of Red Damage (800-1200).
Punishing bird will now target the agent that damaged it and move straight towards them. It won't switch targets and having the targeted agent work on an Abnormality will not stop Punishing Bird either. This can end in three ways: either the target avoids Punishing Bird for about a minute, in which case Punishing Bird will give up, or the bite attack lands on the target, after which Punishing Bird will calm down, or Punishing Bird is suppressed before either of these outcomes occur. In both cases it will return to containment voluntarily. Once it arrives in its containment cell Punishing Bird will return to its normal form. (It cannot be suppressed while on its return trip).
Origin[]
Punishing Bird was a bird who lived its whole life in the Black Forest with Big Bird and Judgement Bird. The three birds decided to protect the forest from a prophecy which said that the forest would never be the same after terrible events that would culminate in a monster devouring everything. Punishing Bird decided to punish bad creatures with its beak, but someone said 'Your beak is so small. No one will find your punishment painful'. Punishing Bird, worried, grew a mouth so it could devour any creature in a single bite. As time passed, the efforts of the birds brought bad rumors upon the forest. One day, when the forest was about to fall into total disorder, the birds decide to merge their strengths together to form a new bird. The resulting creature created chaos, and they were left alone in the forest.
After the events, Punishing Bird left the forest never to return. It is unknown where Punishing Bird was found or how it arrived at the facility.
Details[]
Punishing Bird responds to the four work types in order of best to worst: Insight, Attachment, Instinct, and Repression.
Like all Abnormalities, its energy output is determined by the number of PE Boxes (Positive Enkephalin boxes) filled at the end of the interaction.
Punishing Bird's emotional state is divided into 3 sections: Bad, Normal, and Good. Filling 0-4 PE Boxes will cause it to feel Distressed, completing 5-8 will cause it to feel Normal, and 9-12 will result in it being Happy. Its usual cooldown timer after a task is around 15 seconds. Its Qliphoth Counter is 4.

"As if to prove that size doesn't matter when it comes to force, the weapon has high firepower despite its small size.
Unleash it on those standing in the way with no hesitation or forgiveness. The bullet's surface is covered with numerous spikes resembling small teeth, so it can inflict quite a bit of pain when it penetrates an enemy." |

Story[]
- "A small and confident bird that punishes the evil, guilty, and all sorts of irreverent people. Some employees have said that it is cute when the bird mightily flutters its tiny wings."
- "People have been committing sins since long ago. Why do they commit sins, knowing it's wrong?" The small bird wondered. “It must be because there's no one to punish people for their misdeeds. If someone takes that role, then no foul act would happen in this world ever again!” With this in mind, the little bird left the forest it had been living in, and never went back."
Flavour Text[]
- "The employees put a perch in Punishing Bird’s Containment Unit because it seemed to be bored."
- "Punishing Bird feels like it’s back in the forest in which it used to live when sitting on its perch."
- "A majority of the time Punishing Bird acts like any other normal bird, flying here and there in the Containment Unit."
- "Punishing Bird never cheeps or chirps. However, its stomach occasionally twitches."
- "Few employees know of Punishing Bird’s hidden teeth."
- "Not many know about Punishing Bird’s disgusting flesh, which splits apart into several sections."
Trivia[]
- Punishing Bird is the most likely Abnormality to escape, and escapes more often than any others.
- Before the second observation level is reached, Punishing Bird is called "Small Bird".
- Punishing Bird's design seems to be based off of two real birds: the Bleeding-Heart Dove and the Shima Enaga.
