The Monster, also known as Carrion, is a dangerous, amorphous, creature of unknown origins.
Biology[]
The Monster is a amorphous mass of fleshy tendrils, gaping maws, and eyes. These eyes are different colors depending on its size. The Monster moves with many long tentacles which extend from its body. A singular tentacle on its body allows it to grab things and interact with the environment. The Monster can wedge itself into cracks in walls or pipe openings to spread bio-mass. This bio-mass acts as a safe haven for The Monster, allowing it to retrieve lost mass. When it is damaged its bio-mass forms into worm like forms which "fly" away from the creature. The more damage The Monster takes the more it shrinks in size. The Monster can harness electricity from generators to power its abilities.
Forms[]
The Monster has three different forms with different abilities. These forms each have their own strengths and weaknesses.
First Form[]
The first form is the smallest and weakest form of The Monster, however it is the fastest and stealthiest. While in this form The Monster has blue eyes. The Monster can cloak (if it harvests enough electrical power) and shoot a sticky web which can pull levers in other rooms or trap unsuspecting victims.
Second Form[]
The second form is more powerful then the first form and is in the middle of large and small. While in this The Monster has orange eyes. The Monster can form chitinous claws to ram into structures with, destroying almost any material. If The Monster harvests electrical power then it can spontaneously create spikes on the surface of its body, allowing it to literally steam roll through anything in its way, including electrical shields.
The Monster's second form.
Third Form[]
The third form is an absolute powerhouse, and is the largest form of The Monster. In this form The Monster's eyes are red. It can very easily shrug off bullets in this form. In this form, The Monster can launch a deadly barrage of harpoon tipped tentacles and can (if charged with electrical power) coat itself in a keratin coating that can shrug off a explosive blast (at the cost of the destruction of the coating.)
Abilities[]
Parasitism[]
The Monster can deploy a large tentacle which can enter a human body and take control over its movement. After the tentacle exits the body the host dies by either bursting or just simply collapsing. This ability can be used by all of the monsters forms. The Monster also takes the instincts of the being it possesses if it possesses them for a long duration, e.g if it possesses someone who wants to kill it then it may develop suicidal tendencies.
Arachnoptysis[]
The Monster can shoot a string of sticky webbing at its prey. This webbing can flip levers in other rooms or immobilize unsuspecting prey for consumption later. This ability can only be accessed by The Monster in its first form.
Photokinesis[]
The Monster can cloak itself if it absorbs electrical power. This cloak allows it to slip past lasers and the eyes of its prey, allowing for better ambush. Similar to Arachnoptysis, it can only be used if The Monster is in its first form.
Xiphorrhea[]
This ability is very dangerous to almost anything in The Monster's path. This mutation allows The Monster to form chitinous claws to assist in an offensive battering ram like attack. This attack can destroy bricks, sturdy wood, and bone. This mutation can only be used by its second form.
Acanthosis[]
Similar to Keratosis, this ability allows The Monster to generate chitinous spines which it can use to steam roll through any living thing in its way, impaling them. Unlike all most other abilities this awful power can get through electrical shields.
Harpagorrhea[]
This ability comes with The Monsters final (third) form. Allowing it to fire a barrage of harpoon tentacles at its victim, mangling any creature in its path. Once the barrage is done, the tentacles retract pulling in anything stuck to the barbs.
Keratosis[]
Similar to Acanthosis, Keratosis allows The Monster to grow a coating of clear chitin that can resist almost all forms of attack, including explosives. Keratosis can only be used if The Monster is in its third form. This ability can resist a single explosive blast before shattering.
Echolocation[]
Echolocation allows The Monster to roar, releasing a sound that allows it to locate edible materials (corpses). This ability can be used by all of The Monster's forms. Echolocation can also locate suitable areas to spread its bio-mass.
Hydrophilia[]
Hydrophilia allows The Monster to break apart into a swarm of worm like creatures while submerged in almost any liquid (primarily water). While in this worm like form The Monster can squeeze through cracks even its smallest form could not go through.
History[]
Not much is known about The Monster other then the fact that is has escaped multiple labs.
Origin[]
Before the credits you morph into the scientist in the memory’s. In the second memory you find a discarded piece of biomass bobbing on a liquid pink substance, which you take samples of. After this, the third memory shows you waking up and your partner’s are dead. After looking through this over and over, the monster is the scientist and vice versa.
