This object

is described as a synthesizer for its ability to transform electrical impulses to audible tones. The O.B.S emits drone-like noises upon physical interaction. It's form is a cross between plant, geology, and abandoned machine. It’s not clear if the O.B.S is mimicking something dead (as camouflage?) or alternatively if it is something dead that yearns to be alive. It’s not clear if it is producing oil (like a squid?), or if like a machine, oil is required for its movement.
