The Thing with the Quivering Jaw (also sometimes referred to as the slack-jawed monster) is a non-NPC Character found in the White Desert.
It is a large, white creature that appears to be quite threatening, but like many of the larger characters in Yume Nikki, does not interact much or pose any threat to Madotsuki.
It has a large, amorphous body with four indeterminate limbs, a large eye and an appendage that appears to be a large, quivering jaw or mandible that makes a constant rattling sound. On its underside are five long hairs or tentacles or a ribcage.
Interaction
The Thing with the Quivering Jaw does not move (except for its quivering jaw) or interact with Madotsuki. The jaw can be stilled using the stoplight effect. Like many non-NPC characters, it can not be killed with the knife and does not even react to it, and is not drawn by the Cat effect.
Interpretation
The Thing with the Quivering Jaw is quite an imposing character that many players find frightening or unappealing. Its deformed body structure with the sharp teeth make for a sudden fright when the player enters the room. Its lack of movement also puts players on edge, as it seems to be about to attack.
The door to the room is part of a large mutilated head consistent with many parts of the white desert that have body parts emerging from the floor. In this room, the sprite creates a slightly different image that looks as if it may be part of a person that was killed and being eaten by the Thing, which was interrupted when Madotsuki emerged from the remains of the body.
