– All other ghosts can be heard up to 20 meters away.

– If it blows out 3 flames and there are no other flames nearby to prevent it from hunting, it will trigger a hunt at any sanity.

– To test for an obake during a hunt, loop it for as long as possible and see if it changes ghost models.

– Will always have Orbs even on no evidence runs.

– Will change the ghost it mimics every 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

– Cannot change its behavior mid hunt.

– So if you notice a ghost changes its behavior every couple hunts, check for mimic.

– Curse causes the players sanity to drain twice as fast, with lights and candles unable to prevent this curse.

– Smudging during a hunt will blind the moroi for 12 seconds, instead of 6 seconds for other ghosts.

– The lower your sanity, the faster the moroi.

– Moroi will also get line of site speed, so at 0% sanity and enough LOS speed, Moroi becomes the fastest ghost in the game.

– Spirit box is forced evidence on nightmare.

– You’re unable to hide from this ghost, he knows the position of every player at anytime.

– To tell if its a Deo while hiding, listen to its speed: if its super fast and then slows down when it gets closer to your hiding spot, try and leave your hiding spot and move somewhere that you can loop the ghost.

– Deos are VERY slow when they are near you so they are super easy to loop.

– Has a unique spirit box response that sounds like a growl or heavy breathing.

– Increased chanced of writing and dots.

– Spirit Box is forced evidence.

– The only ghost capable of aging.

– Will start out young at the beginning of the game, making it more active and more aggressive and can hunt at 75% sanity and be super fast 2.5m/s.

– At it’s oldest, it lowers the hunting threshold to 15% and speed 1m/s.

– Does not have line of site speed increase, so it will not speed up gradually while chasing you.

– If it seems to slow down each hunt, its likely a Thaye.

– It will also tell you a different age on the ouija board if you ask it its age at the beginning of the game and then again later on once you’ve aged it.
