It is uncertain if he is a social creature, understands human languages or behaviors, or even why humans appear to be his primary targets. He looks like a human being, but doesn’t act like one. He is rarely, if ever, portrayed in a good or benign light and is generally understood to be a malevolent force. No one has ever satisfactorily explained the reasoning behind his tactics or the way he chooses his victims, and his purposes and/or motivations have yet to be fully ascertained. It’s understood that he tends to torture his targets mentally, over long periods of time, using fear and paranoia to drive them to insanity. He behaves in what might be seen as a passive-aggressive manner, often stalking targets for years at a time before ever attacking. If it is the latter, it suggests an extremely adaptive being that evolves to match its environment. If the former, this would imply an intelligent being attempting to try to blend in.

He is usually portrayed as wearing a business suit, which may be either real cloth, or some form of skin molded to take on the appearance of cloth. His appearance has changed over the years, but the most common image – and the most well known in media– is that of an abnormally tall human with long arms and a totally blank face. However, his basic appearance and traits are relatively consistent across different accounts. In almost every description of the Slender Man, his attributes will vary, sometimes greatly. The internet popularity of Slender Man has spawned a massive number of interconnected ARGs, collectively known as the Slender Man Mythos. Currently, there are two leading theories as to what the Slender Man may be: the Tulpa Effect and Quantum Theory. Because of his inexact nature, and differences between accounts, no one has yet determined what, exactly, the Slender Man is.
Slender Man has been depicted in imagery and literature at anywhere between 6 and 15 feet tall, depending on the situation, though in video he is usually only around 6-7 feet tall. He has no hair, and generally has normal-looking bare hands, albeit with fingers longer and bonier than a typical human. His face is totally white, completely devoid of facial features. He generally appears (in modern times) as a tall humanoid creature in a black or grey suit, red or black tie, and white shirt.
Slender Man was first mentioned in Something Awful Forum's "Create Paranormal Images". The Slender Man (also known as Slenderman) is a supernatural creature with nebulously defined characteristics and abilities. For the unrelated being based on him from MarbleHornets, see The Operator Slender Man Note: this article is about the main being focused on in the mythos.
