Unknown Entity
The Unknown Entity is a monster first encountered in a ruin near Paraíso, Peru where it slaughtered most of Lara's colleagues. The creature's past and even name are unknown; it is contained in a stone called the Wraith Stone that is pried from a portal by Amanda Evert. The full extent of its powers include throwing fireballs, teleporting and merging with other being. One who obtains the stone can have complete control of the entity.
It is affectionately called 'Fluffy' by many fans thanks to the fact that it is Amanda's pet.
Tomb Raider Legend
The entity is first encountered in a Peru flashback, in Tomb Raider Legend and later in Kazakhstan, where it was brought by Amanda by using the Wraith Stone. In Bolivia - The Looking Glass Amanda will merge with the creature to form the Amanda Entity.
