Night Phantom

Night Phantoms are Hazardous organisms of the class 1f. Dr. Monteverde is currently leading the attempted study of these Hazards.

Location
The full extent of Night Phantom distribution is unknown. As of ██/██/████ they have been found on three continents, seeming to prefer dense forests.

A single individual is held in a lit steel aviary 10 meters thick deep below Hazard Zone One, which is surrounded by a Sarin-filled cavity 2 meters thick. Surrounding this is a layer of steel 20 meters thick.

Only those of Class 5 clearance are to be allowed within 300 metres of the outer layer of steel.

Physiology
Night Phantoms grow to an average length of ten meters, and are covered with thick black filaments. They have two antlers that seem to emit electric pulses. They also have a minimum of four compound eyes that are entirely red. The mouth is lined with three jaws, equipped with tearing teeth which cause significant damage to flesh.

Their arms are long, and are equipped with dagger-like claws. The legs are much the same except built for walking. Night Phantoms have long tails, and two large wings.

Night Phantoms are highly aggressive predators, attacking any and all animals.

"Camouflage"?
Night Phantoms seem to have an ability of camouflage. When they hide they are seemingly impossible to find. It may be camouflage, or it could be a mental manipulation of perception, or something else entirely. Searches for individuals using The Sight and magical methods are taking place.

Management
Any sightings of Night Phantoms are to be reported immediately. Class 1c resources have been made available to neutralize them. Live capture is preferable, though termination is permitted and encouraged if necessary.

High surveillance is to be kept on the captive individual. Night Phantoms have been known to break through 2 centimeters of steel, but it is possible they can break through more. As far as is known, there may be a dozen inside the aviary.

History
Sightings of Night Phantoms go back to the 1700s. In 19██, the current specimen/s was collected. Containment was achieved by [REDACTED].

Thousands of fatalities are thought to have come from the creatures, and as such it is paramount that all Night Phantoms must be collected and/or neutralized.
