Story
Mörkö, meaning "Boogeyman" in Finnish, is a fabled entity that is seen in the tunnels below Stalburg. It may be related to The Machine and Andrew Herts, but its purpose and identity are unknown.
The most likely theory is Mörkö is a guard for Raven, since it has been drawn taking Elo to the City Gates.
Sightings
B2
The earliest sighting of Mörkö is the ee_hallway map (with the 
Achievement).
After entering the Tunnel B2 and starting to walk into the only possible direction, the player starts to hear breathing and other noises behind their back. After finding the locked door at the end of the Tunnel, Mörkö is standing right behind them.
The Bunker
Here, Mörkö himself does not appear, but there are paintings, probably related to him, made by the posessed Richard, which can be seen in the bunker in Richard's room.
The first painting has a blurred-out text, which says something like "The Underground God is dead. We need an Answer. Live" The second painting shows an angel-like entity with wings and a green glow in mouth and eyes.
Outside of Richard's room, where those paintings are, a shadow can be seen very lightly. That shadow probably also resembles Mörkö, implying that Mörkö has been there before.
Special Coffee
The third appearance, and the second time it can be seen, is the MulEx CoPan Coffee Machine in stormdrain.
To spawn him, you must make "Special Coffee".
In this sighting, Mörkö looks a bit different: It is missing an arm, parts of its leg, and generally looks hurt/damaged. Additionally, it has green shrooms in its mouth and eye holes.
Powerstation2
A shadow of Mörkö appears in the abandoned mines section of the Powerstation2 map.
It can be very briefly seen as the player approaches the the passage where a note is found and strange labored breathing can be heard. The shadow is created by a malfunctioning flashlight and it is difficult to determine that it is in fact Mörkö under normal circumstances as it will disappear immediately as the player begins to enter that tunnel. By using console commands one can approach the area without entering the tunnel the normal way and find a semi-transparent Mörkö model that appears when a flashlight, including the players, shines on it.
Characteristics
These are the two animated Mörkö Models from the Sightings.
The left one is the model from B2. Here, Mörkö looks pretty much like a normal human, except for its mask and its extraordinarily long fingers.
The right one is the model from the Stormdrain. Here, morko barely resembles model 1 and looks like it has either been attacked or has had an accident. Its head is filled with green shrooms.
The Mask
Upon closer inspection, Morko's mask is an actual mask with a dark inner surface. On the outside, the mask has what looks like dried streams of blood running down from its eye holes and mouth. This is shared in common with all three Morko models, even the one for Kevin.
It's possible Kevin is in the first stage of transition to becoming a Morko, if one is organic.
Speculation
There are two general theories here:
Morko is a Living Creature
Morko is a living creature, created through shrooms. This would explain the green glow in Richard's picture and the shrooms in its mouth in the third sighting.
Morko is a Robot
Or, Morko could be a robot/machine. Not only would that explain the "damage" to it in the third sighting, but it would also fit into the description of "The Machine" by Andrew Herts.
