Morphology

MORPHOLOGY · MO-12

A black-and-white giant beast bound in multiple chains, with horns like waves curling backward. Red eyes open inside cracks in the skin, and the scale difference between juvenile and adult forms is abnormal.

II

Behavior

BEHAVIOR · BH-12

Chained, it remains still. If the chains break, it devours. It feeds on the density of fear, growing stronger the more it is feared.

III

Sightings

SIGHTINGS · SG-12

Only three sightings exist, all during guard shift gaps. Low-frequency vibration was recorded; no image remains.

Myth · MYTH · MY-12

Old files call it “the one nailed in place.” The seal was not made to imprison it, but to imprison those who hear it.
