Item Number: 018

Anomaly Class: Code Red

Containment Protocol: Anomaly-018 is contained in a completely empty containment cell with dimensions five (5) by eight (8) meters. The cell must be kept empty to prevent Anomaly-018 from hiding from Site C personnel. No feeding is necessary, as Anomaly-018 does not seem to require nourishment of any kind. At least one security guard is to be watching the cell's security cameras to maintain a direct view of Anomaly-018 at all times.

Anomaly Description: Anomaly-018 is a semi-corporeal, predatory entity. Anomaly-018 usually manifests itself as a semi-humanoid mass of black vines and roots, interwoven among one another to form a humanoid form. This mass of vines has a very thin form and lacks a mouth or any kind of sensory organs. The anomaly stands approximately 1.45 meters in height.

Anomaly-018 is incredibly stealthy and is capable of hiding its entire body behind any object larger than a mouse. This occurs even against all common logic, wherein the anomaly can completely hide its body behind an object as small as a coffee mug. Anomaly-018 will hide whenever a human being enters its containment cell; because the cell is completely devoid of objects, the anomaly usually chooses to hide behind the subject in question. Because of this, Anomaly-018 can only be seen on security cameras, which cover the entirety of the cell.
