The Ticking takes the form of an ancient norwegian wall clock, it's written in roman numbers and it lacks many hours, it also features 3 more needles than the standard clock, the effects it has are purely psychological, any person in a 5 mile radius of the object who is able to hear the ticking enters a state of heavy distress and usually start mumbling non-sense, it's always related to time and a countdown, after minutes of being exposed to the sound most subjects faint unless proper protection is applied. However, the real danger of this entity comes when all needles hit 1 the clock will make a loud screeching noises and a tall, pure black entity will manifest, the entity is HIGHLY aggressive to any living beings nearby and very deadly with the claws measuring around 30 cm each, the sheer strength and speed of this entity dubbed as "Time Out" makes it extremely hard to analyze, the creature will disappear after an hour without detecting activity nearby.

Alexis' note - In general, I believe that these entities should be destroyed, they are hard to maintain and extremely dangerous when failed to check.
