Cryptid Project

 The C-0006 specimens have been created by the Project with the Wapaloosie cryptid as inspiration.

 

 The Wapaloosies were created to infiltrate enemy bases without being noticed by security systems in place.

 

 The Project created five Wapaloosies, two males and three females. The Wapaloosies created resemble an equidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) without quills and with medium grayish brown fur instead, they also have smaller snouts than equidnas. Contrary to equidnas, the Wapaloosies have a mouse like tail also covered in fur. Wapaloosies are quite faster than equidnas and are also smarter (Project War Companion Intelligence Standards). 

 

 Wapaloosies have been created to be highly stealthy, and to be able to steal small objects and remove mechanical parts, both this abilities are quite useful in order to fight against a more developed species. Having their task in mind the Wapaloosies have been created with small yet pointy claws on all four of their paws and are able to take on a bipedal stance if necessary in order to free their front paws for grabbing objects or climbing. The Wapaloosies are expert climbers and use their tails for balance. Wapaloosies are very resistant to electric shocks.

 

 The Wapaloosies are now being housed in Local 05 in a 37m x 35 m x 8 m terrarium made to emulate a forest like environment, with fake trees, filled with decomposing matter, that houses mushrooms that feed on said matter.

 

 The Wapaloosies feed mostly on mushrooms, but three colonies of Camponotus chromaiodes (red carpenter ants) have been introduced as a secondary food source.

 

 Professor Aaron Reynolds {Gaia Rank} has been tasked with supervising the growth and training of the Wapaloosies. The Wapaloosies have been nicknamed:

 

- Quill (The oldest male and the biggest of the Wapaloosies, who was born with a slight birth defect which made him grow small quills in the middle of its fur. This defect does not cause any harm to Quill);

 

- Penumbra (The youngest male, who has a slightly darker coloration than the other Wapaloosies);

 

- Quartz (One of the females who was surprisingly born with albinism);

 

- Honey (Which was born with slightly higher climbing capabilities);

 

- Ivy (The youngest of the Wapaloosies created)

 

 The Wapaloosies are being trained to steal objects that they are previously shown pictures of, and to be able to recognize wires and circuits so they can destroy them.

 

 All Wapaloosies were gestated in a mammalian incubation machine, each one at a separate time.

 

 The Wapaloosies are assigned to Project Disaster Events ranking from 3 and up with the added condition that the threat has equipment that could be reverse engineered for human use.
