      <description><![CDATA[The current Roblox banner reads [IMPROVED LOCUST INTELLIGENCE AND BOILED ONE COMING NEXT UPDATE]. The Boiled One is the announced next antagonist, not a story beat. The Locust's in-game behavior is being reworked under the 'IMPROVED LOCUST INTELLIGENCE' banner item; published chase patterns may shift without notice. The Boiled One is part of Doctor Nowhere's broader creature catalogue (alongside TOE1, Long Boy Bonsai, Jeppy, and The Locust itself). The Doctor Nowhere interview in 65000 Substack confirms the wider roster. Until the Boiled One lands in-game, all wiki pages continue to treat The Locust as the only confirmed antagonist. The wiki reserves a placeholder panel for future Boiled One coverage.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The Roblox listing is explicitly flagged 'PRE-ALPHA VERSION (expect bugs)'. The wiki avoids publishing fixed cube or cabinet spawn rooms and surfaces the caveat on every affected page. The official Roblox listing for place 86247128610772 carries the literal banner '[IMPROVED LOCUST INTELLIGENCE AND BOILED ONE COMING NEXT UPDATE] - PRE-ALPHA VERSION (expect bugs).' allthings.how explicitly notes that cube positions, cabinet contents, and the Locust's patrol can shift between updates. The wiki respects that by treating item order as fixed but item spawn rooms as randomized. Recheck this news section and the relevant wiki page after each pre-alpha patch. The pre-alpha survival guide collects the most common run-killers.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Rolimon's tracks a Win Rate of 10.1% for the Escaped badge with 238,041+ awards. Spotlight rating is 81.175% on Rolimon's; the Roblox Horror Spotlight page lists the title but does not publish a numeric rating. The current Roblox Horror Spotlight page lists House of The Locust as a trending horror title, but does not publish a numeric rating. Rolimon's independent tracking shows 81.175% (rounded to 81% in many surfaces). The 10.1% win rate reflects only the Escaped badge. With the Locust instant-kill mechanic, most attempts end at the keycard standoff, so the effective completion rate is bounded by audio-cue literacy and wall-gap access. The wiki treats both metrics as community-tracked statistics. They are not surfaced as 'official' but are quoted as the most reliable public signal of run-difficulty in the current pre-alpha build.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Earlier MineNest-derived links to the Flush / @flushgun channel were patched. Doctor Nowhere's real YouTube is @doctornowhere and TikTok is @doctor.nowhere, both confirmed via the 65000 Substack interview. The Roblox banner credits The Locust character to Doctor Nowhere. The 65000 Substack interview with Silas Orion (Doctor Nowhere) confirms the SMILEHOOD canon and the original analog-horror origin of The Locust. Earlier community write-ups on MineNest conflated Doctor Nowhere with the Flush / @flushgun Roblox-explorer YouTuber. The wiki patches those attributions: Flush is third-party coverage; Doctor Nowhere's actual channels are @doctornowhere (YouTube) and @doctor.nowhere (TikTok). Wikitubia corroborates Doctor Nowhere's identity and the broader creature catalogue (TOE1, Boiled One, Long Boy Bonsai, Jeppy, Locust). The wiki uses both as primary attribution sources for the lore page.]]></description>
