It is safe to assume that Gazer-types are all the result of human deaths, but very little is explained regarding the nature or origins of the larger BTs.

It is never clear if the Beached Things are all stranded human souls, native entities to the 'other side', or a mixture. With a DOOMS level of seven at minimum, Higgs is capable of not only seeing BTs, but also controlling them at will. Fragile, meanwhile, is capable of seeing BTs without aid. The extent to which DOOMS sufferers can interact with BTs varies Sam is capable of sensing BTs, but cannot see them without the assistance of Lou.

The only way to prevent this is to destroy the body, usually through cremation at an incinerator if this is not carried out, the ka will return to the ha and then become a BT, stranded in the world of the living, risking a Voidout.īTs can be perceived by individuals suffering from DOOMS, or via a trance connection to bridge babies, which exist between the worlds of the living and dead. Due to the Death Stranding, when a human being dies, their 'ka' (soul) is still connected to and will attempt to return to their 'ha' (body) after death. The Death Stranding occurred concurrently with the first recorded sighting of a BT by a doctor performing a Caesarean section on a brain dead mother. A Beached Thing comes into existence when the deceased soul of a living being fails to cross through the Beach into the world of the dead, consequently becoming 'stranded' in the world of the living, with their connection to the other side maintained through an umbilical cord.
