==Biography==
 
Mörkö itself is a humanoid creature with it's unnatural physicalities being its elongated long fingers and inhuman noises. Its body and other features are indistinguishable as it's entire model is shrouded in darkness. It wears a white mask with large holes that are stained with a trail of bloody tears running down its eyes and mouth.

Mörkö's appearances are an anomaly and his purpose is left largely unexplained. Only a few notes make references to the rumors of tunnel B2 and "the underground god". In the bridge hideout in [[isle3]], Elo drew a picture heavily resembling Mörkö's mask and a drawing of Mörkö escorting her to the underground city. The most likely theory is Mörkö is one of the seven "masked men" that guard the Machine and seek its ingredients for [[Raven Research Institute|Raven Research]].

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===
After entering the tunnel and starting to walk into the only possible direction, the player starts to hear a distorted moan and heavy breathing echoing down the hall. After attempting to open a locked door at the end of the tunnel, Mörkö will be standing right behind Mark moving its fingers and visibly breathing.

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.
===[[Bunker]]===
Mörkö itself does not appear here, but there are paintings and more murals related to him made by [[Minor characters_in INFRA#Richard|Richard]], which can be seen his room.

Upon making the "special coffee" (brown and red canisters), Mark's vision will become monochromatic and he'll see a different model of Mörkö.  


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.
In this sighting, Mörkö looks different. It shakes erratically and is missing its right arm and parts of its body look like a damaged machine. The mask's expression has changed to wince as if in pain. Additionally, its mask or face is filled with green mushrooms.


==Speculation==
===Mine===
A shadow of Mörkö appears in the abandoned mines section of the [[powerstation2]] map.


There are two general theories here:
The shadow can be seen very briefly seen as Mark approaches a dead end passage where an explorer's note is found and strange labored breathing can be heard. The shadow is formed by a malfunctioning flashlight and will disappear almost immediately as the player begins to enter the tunnel. Using console commands however, one can noclip through to find a semi-transparent Mörkö model that appears when a flashlight, including Marks, shines on it.


===Morko is a Living Creature===
==Gallery==
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.

Mörkö (Finnish for boogeyman) is a mysterious, threatening entity seen in the tunnels below Stalburg. It and the tunnel it patrols are something of an urban legend in Stalburg.

It may be related to The Machine and Andrew Herts, but its purpose and identity are unknown.

Biography[edit | edit source]

Mörkö itself is a humanoid creature with it's unnatural physicalities being its elongated long fingers and inhuman noises. Its body and other features are indistinguishable as it's entire model is shrouded in darkness. It wears a white mask with large holes that are stained with a trail of bloody tears running down its eyes and mouth.

Story[edit | edit source]

Mörkö's appearances are an anomaly and his purpose is left largely unexplained. Only a few notes make references to the rumors of tunnel B2 and "the underground god". In the bridge hideout in isle3, Elo drew a picture heavily resembling Mörkö's mask and a drawing of Mörkö escorting her to the underground city. The most likely theory is Mörkö is one of the seven "masked men" that guard the Machine and seek its ingredients for Raven Research.

Appearances[edit | edit source]

Bergmann Water Tunnels[edit | edit source]

Mörkö in Tunnel B2.

The earliest sighting of Mörkö is the hallway map (with the Ach question.jpg Achievement).

After entering the tunnel and starting to walk into the only possible direction, the player starts to hear a distorted moan and heavy breathing echoing down the hall. After attempting to open a locked door at the end of the tunnel, Mörkö will be standing right behind Mark moving its fingers and visibly breathing.

Later on in the Bergmann power plant, a catwalk accessible by the stairs leads to a derelict building overrun with foliage. In a somewhat hidden bathroom, an unsettling mural of Mörkö can be seen.

Mural in an abandoned building.

Bunker[edit | edit source]

Mörkö itself does not appear here, but there are paintings and more murals related to him made by Richard, which can be seen his room.

The first painting portrays Mörkö as an ouroboros without a tail in its mouth, there is text written along the circular mural, which reads as:

"Underground God is dead. We need an answer! Live!"

The second painting portrays Mörkö as it appears in stormdrain with angelic wings and a green glow in mouth and eyes.

Additionally, an etched silhouette resembling Mörkö can be seen between room G1 and G2. This is reference in the diary of the scientist who lived next to Richard. Directly behind the wall is the hidden computer room. The implications of this are unclear.

Stormdrain[edit | edit source]

The third appearance, and the second time it can be physically seen, is in the MulEx CoPan Coffee Machine area in the map stormdrain. Upon making the "special coffee" (brown and red canisters), Mark's vision will become monochromatic and he'll see a different model of Mörkö.

In this sighting, Mörkö looks different. It shakes erratically and is missing its right arm and parts of its body look like a damaged machine. The mask's expression has changed to wince as if in pain. Additionally, its mask or face is filled with green mushrooms.

Mine[edit | edit source]

A shadow of Mörkö appears in the abandoned mines section of the powerstation2 map.

The shadow can be seen very briefly seen as Mark approaches a dead end passage where an explorer's note is found and strange labored breathing can be heard.
