Damage

Grabs you, steals whatever item is in your hand, and stuns you. If you're caught empty-handed, that's โˆ’10 sanity instead.

Counter

Fire extinguisher spray, taser, or gun all work. You can also lure one to a Bed Monster to have it dealt with indirectly, or just keep your distance until it despawns on its own. Carrying a cheap "sacrifice" item is a community trick โ€” if it grabs the item instead of you, you lose nothing important.

Hiders are the one monster where item management matters as much as combat โ€” holding literally anything (even something low-value) changes the outcome of a grab from a sanity hit to an item loss you can afford. Worth carrying a spare cheap item specifically for this reason if you're heading into a room with reported Hider activity.
