'''Slender Man''' (also referred to as "The Operator") is a mythical creature first named on the Something Awful forums for a miscallaneous contest, and created by user "Victor Surge".<ref>{{cite web|first=Victor Surge|title=Create Paranormal Images|url=http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3150591&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=3#post361861415|publisher=Something Awful Forums}}</ref> The creature has rocketed in popularity across the web, and even spawned numerous web series like Tribe Twelve, Everyman Hybrid, and the most popular, Marble Hornets. These Channels document their endeavors with the paranormal being as well as others. However evidence to his existence is poor at best.

==Physical Properties==
Slender Man is described as a tall, thin entity bearing a striking resemblance to a human male. He is occasionally shown in art or photographs with long, tentacle-like appendages protruding from his back. Slender Man is completely pale, and possesses no face features whatsoever, and wears a a black formal suit. It remains a mystery how he goes mostly unnoticed in public areas despite these distinguishing marks.⏎
He has seven toes and when he haunts you he will play patty cake with you, play video games, eat pizza and prank call.

==Origins and Motives==
Slender Man's origins are almost completely unknown. A select few ancient civilizations have depicted tall, slender beings with tentacle-like appendages in hieroglyphics, though these markings are extremely vague and could reference practically anything. A much more likely possibility stems from the following journal entry, made by a German doctor during World War II:

''The subject is very calm, and never seems to be agitated by my advances... ''
