Description
Whirlers are bunkerites who have become feral, either from an addiction to fooms or snapping after no longer being able to handle life in the bunker anymore. As the name suggests, they whirl through the vents, finding food and more fooms to fuel the addiction. Whirlers can turn into Afflicted. The final stage of a Whirler is the Taken. Their skin secretes moisturizer.

They are considered dangerous and should be approached with caution. They are one of the many hazards to bunkerites and more commonly laborers.

There are many variants, and as time goes on they become more common throughout the bunker. They are heavily implied to be former Foom addicts.

9x9 Quadrant Part 2
You can hear them scuttling in the walls. You recognize their faces. More and more keep turning up that you don't remember a time where they were not such a big threat. Levels are going dark and your memories are hazy, something is crawling from the depths and a new threat is swirling in the minds of all. The Mire sends its child the Taken through the bubble and bunker as another reality is added to its mass.

Death Of The Computer
The whirlers are migrating, to an unknown location. They stop once every 3 months, but apart from that the weak get left behind.
