A warped, tilted grin with sharp teeth, paired with mismatched eyes that sit visibly too high on the face — the proportions are just wrong in a way a normal patient's face never is.
Animal Hospital Crooked Face is one of the 19 anomalies in the Roblox game, and it is caught with nothing but your own eyes at the check-in window.

The giveaway is the vertical misalignment: normal patients have eyes at a consistent height. Crooked Face's eyes look like they were placed by someone guessing at human anatomy from a description. Combine that with the crooked grin and sharp teeth, and it's a fast visual read once you know what to look for.
Crooked Face is on the cheapest channel there is — you catch it by looking at the patient, with no tool and no walk to the monitors. That is true of only 8 of the 19 anomalies in the game, so treat the free ones as the exception rather than the rule.
| Check | Catches | What skipping it costs you |
|---|---|---|
| Naked eye ← this one | 8 of 19 | 8 anomalies you will never see |
| CCTV | 8 of 19 | 8 anomalies you will never see |
| Polaroid | 3 of 19 | 3 anomalies you will never see |
One patient can carry more than one of these at once, so a clean naked-eye read is not a clean bill of health.
The specific recovery outcome for this anomaly hasn't been documented by the community yet — 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 Mimic. 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 −15 sanity — when in doubt, shutting the window is always the safe move.
These four are variants of the same thing — an unnatural face, visible in person. Telling them apart matters less than noticing that the face is wrong at all, because the response is identical for all four.

|---|---|---|
| 👁️ Crooked Face ← this page | In person | A warped, tilted grin with sharp teeth, paired with mismatched eyes that sit visibly too high on the face — the proportions are just wrong in a way a normal patient's face never is. |
| 👁️ Realistic Face | In person | Big eyes with dark pupils, heavy under-eye bags, and a grin that looks painted on rather than expressed. It speaks in a low, distorted voice — noticeably off from a normal patient's tone. |
| 👁️ Three Eyes | In person | Three misplaced, glowing red eyes replace the normal pair. Look closely and you can sometimes still make out the original two eyes underneath the extra set. |
| 👁️ X-rayed Face | In person | Small, wide, round eyes with black pupils, combined with teeth that look unsettlingly real — almost too anatomically correct compared to the game's normal patient models. |
You are at the check-in window with the patient in front of you, which shapes the answer: the shutter is already within reach, so refusing is the cheapest move available — it costs no sanity and no ammunition.
Refuse it. Shutting the window costs nothing and ends the problem. It does not hurt your shift score, and it is always available.
Or put it down. A confirmed anomaly can be tased or shot, and doing so is worth +2 sanity. A wrong treatment also kills one with no sanity penalty — it only lowers the end-of-shift reward.
What it costs to guess. Tasing or shooting a normal animal by mistake is −15 sanity, nearly a quarter of the 61 you start with. That gap is the whole reason to confirm before acting rather than acting on a hunch.
An anomaly cannot be knocked out the way a normal patient can, so "it fainted, it must be fine" is not a test. Neither is slime on the floor — patients drip it too.
Once you are already looking through your own eyes, these cost you nothing extra to rule out. Knowing them as a set is what turns the check from a habit into a decision.
| Anomaly | What gives it away |
|---|---|
| 👁️ Realistic Face | Big eyes with dark pupils, heavy under-eye bags, and a grin that looks painted on rather than expressed. It speaks in a low, distorted voice — noticeably off from a normal patient's tone. |
| 👁️ Three Eyes | Three misplaced, glowing red eyes replace the normal pair. Look closely and you can sometimes still make out the original two eyes underneath the extra set. |
| 👁️ X-rayed Face | Small, wide, round eyes with black pupils, combined with teeth that look unsettlingly real — almost too anatomically correct compared to the game's normal patient models. |
| 👁️ Staring | Its head tracks you — or a random target in the room — constantly. In person the tracking is limited to roughly 60°, but on CCTV there's no limit at all, so the head can swivel further than a real neck should allow. |
| 👁️ Hollow Face | Deep, pitch-black hollow eyes with no visible pupils, constant twitching, and a hunched, slouched posture. |
| 👁️ Twitching | Spasming arms or head, a stretched neck, and a hunched back. Sometimes the twitching is only visible when you check the camera feed rather than looking at the patient directly. |
| 👁️ Tiny Anomaly | The patient is extremely small — far below any normal patient model — and speaks with a very high-pitched voice. Its only documented look so far is a pink bunny with a short tail and three glowing red eyes. |

View All Anomalies →A warped, tilted grin with sharp teeth, paired with mismatched eyes that sit visibly too high on the face — the proportions are just wrong in a way a normal patient's face never is. The primary way to catch it is checking the patient in person.
Yes — this is one of the 8 anomalies you can catch just by looking at the patient at the window, no equipment needed.
The specific recovery outcome for this anomaly isn't documented by the community yet. Treat any confirmed anomaly the same way regardless: a wrong treatment kills them with no penalty to you but lowers your end-of-shift reward, and tasing or shooting a confirmed anomaly gives +2 sanity. When in doubt, shutting the window is always safe.
