Specimen 620 (Gloobie) File 7D
Dr.Ackerman’s Initial Report File c5568
Despite disappearing into the Toroti Jungle the Expedition “Edna” (file 1455) was quite fruitful. Along with providing critical data linking certain species of Cat-Person to breeding among the Asuri and Pintrnello tribes they also sent back multiple species of creature yet to be identified at that point. Specimen 402 was included among the living samples sent back for study.
Specimen 620 came paired with another similar creature (Specimen 622), identical anatomy but much darker in tones and coloring. The two were originally stored together in Base 7 but when the bizarre behavior apparent in certain surrounding specimens was concluded to be due to the their combined effects in captivity 620 was sent for my study at Facility-209. I will be continuing to work close with Dr.Long at Base 7 to study the couple in a joint effort to determine nature of the phenomenon.
So far, from the singular specimen, my team has determined the following:
Aside from the effect of the combined captivity the creature seems to have no other special non physical traits. Dr. McEvee’s team will continue to monitor scans.
The large tongue is used for multiple functions and serves as the main appendage. This includes climbing, hunting and even moment from place to place.
The tongue contains a light acid and helps digest live pretty. Insects mostly.
Movement is slow when being observed but the specimen seems to move quickly when out of sight.
Although we have no explanation for the unified effect, scans have shown that it is a recent development. Not yet known is whether it is a extra evolutionary response.
