DEPARTMENT OF ANOMALOUS PHENOMENA

ENTITY REGISTRY — TECHNICAL PROFILE
────────────────────────────────────────────
Designation: LYC-72 “Wolfman”
Sector of Origin: Appalachian Region (WV/VA border)
First Recorded: August 1972 (Cassette Archive Ref: WLF-72-TAPES)
Classification: LEVEL 4 — CLASSIFIED / ANOMALOUS PREDATOR

BEHAVIORAL PROFILE

  • Displays mimetic vocal capacity: can reproduce human voices (notably those of close relations of targets). Precision increases with exposure.

  • Operates primarily at night or under canopy cover; documented stealth capacity suggests both heightened senses and deliberate predatory strategy.

  • Pattern: isolate, mimic, lure, maul. Often begins by calling subjects by name.

  • Evidence of progressive possession/assimilation in survivor [Dez █████]: auditory mimicry gave way to behavioral distortion, then possible transformation.

  • Territorial: activity centers around original campsite radius (Appalachian hollow); CCTV sightings confirm perimeter expansion post-1972.

THREAT LEVEL

  • Physical Threat: Extreme. Capable of tearing through trained personnel. Confirmed fatalities: Jamie █████, Cal █████.

  • Psychological Threat: Severe. Use of mimicry erodes group trust, induces paranoia, and destabilizes survivors.

  • Containment Risk: High. No confirmed method to neutralize or capture entity. Transformation vector (bite, proximity, memetic) remains under study.

CONTAINMENT NOTES

  • Current protocol: Observe and track perimeter of hollow. No direct engagement authorized without Level-5 clearance.

  • Silver-based ordnance requisition tested; inconclusive results (flesh samples inconclusive, no retained body mass).

  • Audio isolation recommended: personnel to wear noise-cancelling headsets in hot zones to reduce vulnerability to mimicry.

  • Standing order: treat any “Dez” sightings as potential hostile manifestation. Engage only from distance.

  • Entity has demonstrated ability to evade conventional surveillance, but heat signatures remain anomalously high; thermal imaging prioritized.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

  • Survivor [Dez █████] officially listed Missing, Presumed Dead, yet appears intermittently on CCTV within a 30-mile radius of incident site periodically to present time. Movements irregular, gait abnormal. Analysts split on classification: infected human host vs entity projection.

  • Recommendation: elevate case from Regional Threat to Cross-Sector Monitor status. Risk of spread cannot be discounted.

    ────────────────────────────────────────────
    Designation: LYC-72 “Wolfman”
    Sector of Origin: Appalachian Region (WV/VA border)
    First Recorded: August 1972 (Cassette Archive Ref: WLF-72-TAPES)
    Classification: LEVEL 4 — CLASSIFIED / ANOMALOUS PREDATOR

    BEHAVIORAL PROFILE

    • Mimetic Vocalization: Reproduces human voices with uncanny accuracy, targeting emotional bonds (family, close friends). Lures subjects out of formation.

    • Adaptive Learning: Each failed containment attempt shows escalation—entity adjusts to traps and tactics after first exposure.

    • Predatory Strategy: Strikes at rear guard or isolated member; leaves rest of team intact long enough to spread panic.

    • Human-Host Corruption: Survivor [Dez █████] believed to be partially assimilated; behavior on CCTV (1973–1991) suggests split gait, hesitation before entering lighted areas, avoidance of reflective surfaces.

    THREAT LEVEL

    • Physical: Extreme. Rips through reinforced gear; personnel describe force “well beyond bear or big cat.”

    • Psychological: Extreme. Mimicry undermines team cohesion, causes false rescues and accidental friendly fire.

    • Containment Risk: Critical. Entity resists tranquilizers, ignores baited traps, and demonstrates uncanny anticipation of patrol routes.

    FIELD ENGAGEMENT LOGS (FAILED CAPTURE ATTEMPTS)

    • Operation GREY FIR (1974):

      • 6-man team deployed with baited snare rigs.

      • Entity circled perimeter without entering trap radius.

      • Camera Footage: Long-lens capture of silhouette walking upright on ridge, intermittently dropping to all fours. Eyeshine not consistent with any known species.

      • Outcome: 1 casualty (neck trauma); mission aborted.

    • Operation HOLLOW FANG (1981):

      • Deployment with silver ordnance and sound-suppression helmets.

      • Entity used voice of deceased victim Cal █████ to lure Agent H. from formation.

      • Audio Recording: “Jamie, I’m right here.” Voice matched with 92% confidence.

      • Outcome: 2 MIA, later recovered mauled. Entity evaded all thermal drones.

    • Operation STILLWATER (1995):

      • Thermal UAV grid deployed; entity appeared as multiple heat signatures moving in sync (possible decoy effect).

      • Camera Footage: Grainy tape shows humanoid figure—likely [Dez █████]—emerging from tree line, staring into lens, then sprinting back into canopy at nonhuman speed.

      • Outcome: Entire capture team withdrew after unexplained comms interference (channel bleed: distorted howling + human names).

    CONTAINMENT NOTES

    • Direct capture attempts suspended indefinitely; only long-range observation authorized.

    • Silver ordnance inconclusive—entry wounds close rapidly, no retained tissue.

    • Acoustic countermeasures (white-noise generators, scrambled voice playback) partially effective in disrupting lure behavior but also disorient field agents.

    • All sightings of [Dez █████] to be logged as LYC-72 manifestations. No assumption of surviving human host.

    ADDITIONAL NOTES

    • Entity demonstrates awareness of surveillance. Cameras often fail, but when they succeed, the figure has been observed to approach lenses deliberately—standing still for extended periods before interference cuts feed.

    • Analysts suggest this may be predatory taunting or territorial display.

    • Current consensus: non-containable. Risk assessment: Escalation likely if perimeter breached.
