The Shoe Monster

The Shoe Monster is a mysterious creature with a brief appearance in Little Nightmares. It is never seen, only being encountered as a enemy that drags you beneath its lair. Its origins and appearance are currently unknown. The Shoe Monster also apears in Very Little Nightmares where it is only briefly incountered as well. The show Monster is one of the only connections between Six and The Runaway Kid, being that The Runaway kid watches Six navigate through the pit during the dlc.

Possible Theories
There are very little theories on the Shoe Monster. One theory states that the Shoe Monster is, in fact, a gigantic Leech, that consumes the shoes of dead Guests. The sound of a Leech can be heard when it grabs you. In addition, the soundtrack in its lair (Cold Feet) is very similar to the one of the Leeches(Parasites).

Strategy

The Shoe Monster is the easiest enemy in the game. It moves with ease through the shoes, and when it chases Six it throws a trail of shoes, giving it's position away. It will go directly for where Six is, not trying to cut her off in anyway or outsmart her. Though it moves easily through the shoes, it doesn't seem to be strong enough to tackle suitcases, so don't worry about that. It can move through the shoes silently too, but it's not smart enough to find the best position.

Trivia
--- The Shoe Monster's name is confirmed in the Residence game files.

It doesn't have a website description.

It's mechanics are very similar to the Granny. Both are largely unseen creatures that stay beneath the surface and cannot attack from above.
