All anomalies
This Animal Hospital Anomaly all anomalies guide explains the major anomaly types, how to spot them, what to do, and which clues are most likely to make players fail a run.
Animal Hospital Anomaly is easiest to understand when you group clues by where they appear. Some anomalies are visible directly on the patient, while others only appear in photos, security camera rooms, background behavior, or special ghost-like events. Good players do not rely on one clue. They compare the patient with every available piece of evidence before making the final decision.
This page is written as a practical anomaly list rather than a lore page. If you are new, start with the beginner guide. If you already understand the desk flow and want to clear a full run, use the walkthrough after reading this list.
| Anomaly Type | How to Spot | What to Do | Difficulty | Best Related Guide |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Visual Anomaly | Body, face, pose, size, color, or movement looks wrong. | Confirm with photos or cameras, then reject or report if the clue is real. | Easy | Visual Anomalies |
| Photo Anomaly | Patient photo, background object, shadow, reflection, or identity detail does not match. | Compare the image against the patient and current room evidence before deciding. | Medium | Photo Anomalies |
| Security Camera Anomaly | Camera room layout, object position, hallway motion, or timing is off. | Compare rooms and watch for delayed changes instead of checking only one frame. | Hard | Camera Anomalies |
| Patient Behavior Anomaly | The patient behaves, moves, waits, or reacts in a way that does not match normal cases. | Use behavior as a support clue, then verify it against visual, photo, or camera evidence. | Medium | How to Play |
| Ghost Anomaly | Unusual presence, apparition-like clue, room event, or background detail appears outside normal patterns. | Stay on the checklist and avoid reacting to atmosphere alone. | Hard | Ghost Anomaly |
| Special Anomaly | A rare clue may connect to events, updates, secrets, or hidden lore. | Record the clue, check updates, and compare with the secrets page before treating it as confirmed. | Varies | Secrets |
The safest way to find anomalies is to use the same scan order every round. This matters because Animal Hospital Anomaly can make a normal-looking patient suspicious through a photo clue or make an empty room suspicious through a camera clue.
Beginner rule: if you cannot explain what is wrong in one sentence, slow down and re-check the evidence before guessing.
These are the easiest to learn because the patient gives the clue directly. Look for wrong proportions, odd expressions, missing or extra details, unusual movement, or a silhouette that does not match normal cases.
Open visual anomaliesPhoto anomalies reward careful comparison. A patient may look fine at the desk while the image shows a mismatched detail, impossible shadow, strange background object, or identity clue.
Open photo anomaliesCamera anomalies are harder because the clue can be away from the desk. Scan the entire room and check whether objects, hallways, cages, doors, or shadows behave normally.
Open camera anomaliesGhost-related clues can feel urgent, but the response should still be methodical. Treat the ghost anomaly as a clue pattern to confirm, not just a scare moment.
Open ghost anomalyThe biggest improvement is consistency. If you inspect every case the same way, the real anomaly becomes easier to separate from atmosphere, lighting, or panic.
Anomalies are clues that something is wrong with the patient, evidence, room, camera feed, behavior, or special event. The clue can be obvious or extremely subtle.
Security camera anomalies and ghost anomaly events are usually the hardest because they can happen outside the main patient view and may require timing or room comparison.
Yes. A patient can look normal while the photo, security camera, or behavior clue reveals the anomaly. That is why you should avoid deciding from the patient model alone.
Start with visual anomalies, then learn photo anomalies, then camera anomalies. After that, read the ghost anomaly guide and full walkthrough.
