How to spot it
The "changes every time you toggle" detail is the strongest confirmation here โ if you check CCTV, look away, and check again, and the body proportions are different each time, that's not a rendering glitch, that's the tell.
A severely stretched, warped body that only shows up on the camera feed. The shape actually changes each time you toggle the feed on and off, and even the printed photo distorts while the camera is open.

The specific recovery outcome for this anomaly hasn't been documented by the community yet โ we only publish what's confirmed. What is confirmed: letting an anomaly in usually triggers a Death Ritual, spawns a monster, or turns the patient into a Shapeshifter. A wrong treatment kills an anomaly with no penalty to you (it just lowers your end-of-shift reward), and tasing or shooting a confirmed anomaly nets +2 sanity. Tasing or shooting a normal animal by mistake costs โ15 sanity โ when in doubt, shutting the window is always the safe move.
