Valem is the eighteenth monster added to Pillar Chase 2. He is a bird-like demonic trickster who appears before players at night, luring and hunting them down with the help of his illusions. He originates from The_BladeNinja's Minecraft mod, Beware The Rain, and was added to replace Wendigo from the original Pillar Chase. He is the second monster to be added in the year of 2025. Valem was released on February 9th, 2025. He costs 1350 Coins.
Appearance
Valem is a tall, humanoid, skeletal demon, whose entire body is almost entirely black. The only parts of his body that are not humanoid are his skull and feet, which are avian. Valem's skull has a very distinct shape, the silhouette being made entirely of triangles due to his beak and horns. Two large horns protrude from the sides of his head, with a smaller set just under them attached to his mandible. Another small pair juts upwards from his brow, and his beak is pointed almost entirely downwards with noticeable nostrils. The eye sockets that sit just above the beak have small glowing-white pupils floating in them. Lastly around his neck, is a mass of white feathers that covers most of his shoulders and upper ribcage. Inside said ribcage sits the only organ/flesh Valem has remaining, a heart.
Gameplay
Valem has 30 Stamina, 26 Sprint Speed, and deals damage ranging from 10 DMG at the lowest, to 55 DMG at the highest (30 without the buff). Valem has multiple reliable and spammable sources of mobility, highlighting and damage boosting, as well as being able to attack from afar with a unique M1. His two abilities are Demonic Illusion and Trickster’s Truth.

Trivia
- Valem's model was made by Froggy.
- Valem was thought to be the only monster to break the 2 characters per media rule (with Minecraft); however, this was confirmed to not be the case.[1]
- Valem, along with Krasue, are the only two monsters in Pillar Chase 2 to be replacing characters from the original Pillar Chase. Valem is replacing Wendigo, and Krasue is replacing HER (this is unknown as of now).
- Valem's head structure is based off of _Boisvert.
- Valem is the first monster to ever get an aimable M1, as well as being the first to have a chargeable M1.
- It was thought his M1 was a projectile, however turning on hitboxes shows it is simply just a very long attack.
- Unlike Vapor and Rosemary, Valem is not actually a human-turned-demon. Instead, he was born a demon and has always been a demon.
- Because of this, Valem has a highly negative opinion of them both, as revealed in his Trickster's Truth quotes.
- According to Valem's lore, there are demons higher ranked than him.
- Valem's kill sound is sourced from the horror game Power Drill Massacre, with his M1 sounds being a cut version of the same sound.
- During a double trouble, if another monster is near Valem when ability 2 is used, that monster will also see flashes of text on their screen about Valem commenting on whatever monster is being used. This technically makes Valem the first monster to have dialogue interactions with other monsters.
- Valem is the first completely original monster to be added to the game. This means he does not originate from any other media, nor is inspired by or based off any other characters, unless you count the minor _Boisvert inspiration.
- Due to his comments on Uncle Samsonite when using Trickster's Truth, it is implied that, at least in the continuity of Pillar Chase 2, that Valem and Uncle Samsonite have met before.
- Uncle Samsonite is also the only Monster that Valem calls by their actual name throughout all of said quotes.
- Several Trickster's Truth quotes seem to suggest that Valem considers himself a collection of entities, likely due to his ability to create clones/illusions of himself.
- Valem is the third monster to not have a passive ability. The first being WYST and the second being Inkfell.
- If you are playing as Valem and get Trickster's Truth quotes from another Valem, they will just be the same ones that would appear normally: Valem commenting on Survivors.
- Valem appears to have some sort of strange sense of existential awareness, as he knows about the pasts of several monsters, as well as the unique existences of specific monsters (e.g, PCX and The Forest King).
- Valem seems to have very strong opinions on certain human monsters, such as loathing Baldi, but taking a liking to monsters like Jeffrey Woods and Springtrap.
