Subject File #
297600T
Name
Subject claims his name is what sounds like a quick series of growling barks. His handlers have taken to calling him Growler.
Age
Numerous organic pieces have been surgically removed for examination-test results date the specimen to be nearing thirty years old by our current understandings of time.
Appearance
Almost stereotypical looking in nature the subject resembles most artistic imaginations of what is commonly referred to in public society as “Bigfoot” or “Sasquatch.” As would be expected in his natural state he is completely covered in a thick unruly mess of brown fury hair save for the majority of his bald face; the little skin that can be seen is of rather dark suntanned color that somewhat hides his weathered and calloused skin.
Nearing upwards of eight and a half feet tall the specimens longer arms and slightly cone shaped skull are but one of his many fascinating abnormalities-the very frame of his body being such a solid mass of boulder like muscle that it alone would warrant study were he just a mere primate. Despite the lack of fully developed lips, a problem that causes his tusk like bottom canines to jut out menacingly, his handlers swear up and down that he is always smiling: further tests are needed to confirm this.
After some convincing and an extended period of “good” behavior while serving in [redacted] we allowed him the requested pair of what had to be custom made jeans, an enormous brown leather duster (specifically fake leather), and a matching cowboy hat.
Classification
Definitely not a member of another sentient race that has lived alongside humanity for thousands of years in secrecy, and definitely not some sort of “missing link.” Definitely not-the Knights have been doing their holy duty and making that the known truth since the dawn of the fowl creatures discovery.
Powers
Enhanced Strength: Physically stronger than any average human and several high level types of threats encountered in field work.
PsyLingual: Our scientists have yet to discover if the specimen himself has some minor psychic abilities or if his species has literally mastered some way of vocal communication with animals. Whatever it is the results have time and time again shown that he can communicate with animals, primarily mammals and birds, to the point that it resembles a conversation to the passing eye.
Invisibility: Years prior to catching our first [redacted] the organization had been stumped in figuring out just how such a large creature had gone unphotographed and tended to disappear when pursued-truth be told we were all somewhat shocked when we discovered the main reason behind this was in fact an inate form of invisibility they possessed. Such a form of camouflage is unheard of in the animal kingdom and is truly a sight to behold; those that actually witness the specimen "cloak" often compare it to the old Predator movies when seen up close.
Artifacts or Skills
The subject known as Growler was assigned to [redacted] on account of his expert tracking skills and stealth abilities. Although given no formal training in combat Growlers unnatural strength allows him the ability to handle most physical encounters with sheer brute force. When assigned to the [redacted] unit and asked for any desired weapons for fieldwork it declined and instead ripped a small tree from the ground-over the years his handlers have noted that not only has the subject continuously used the same tree like club but has overtime covered it with intricately carved and interwoven strange runic patterns.
As of yet all tests have been inconclusive when it comes to the possible magical properties of the numerous polished stones and hand carved trinkets that are woven into what could be considered his "beard."
Biography
Official records state that the subject known as Growler was first identified twelve years prior to todays date. First encountered in [redacted] in the [redacted] National Park we immediately dispatched the Francis Unit with standard capture orders-standard orders being kill at the first sign of resistance.
What was meant to be a typical mission for the Knights turned into a grueling two year game of cat and mouse. Surprisingly through all this time not a single Knight was killed directly by the creature: broken limbs and accidental fatalities though were a completely different story. A year into the "project" and the assigned Unit had sectioned of a set range of woods, about 20 square miles, that the target seemed to stay within as if his chosen territory.
Our first real progress in apprehension was when we cut the budget to Francis Unit causeing many of the on the ground agents to begin using the forest itself for warmth during the winter months by hacking down trees and burning constant fires without abandon. Quickly a pattern emerged with agents being attacked when specifically assigned logging duties; knowledge we then used in several traps that lead to close captures.
A few months into the start of the second year [redacted] was granted his request of six class C flame throwers that were immediately put to use in a new tactic of just saying to hell with it and burning the whole forest down. Amazingly before the day was over the creature made himself visible in camp in a eerie display of surrender that resembled a human-on his knees and hands raised in the air in clear sign of submission.
From here the specimen was locked in restraining arm and leg bands classed at strength level [redacted] and was shipped to our scientific branch in [redacted] without problem. After the science department was done poking and prodding he was deemed "useable" by the many departments in charge of such a decision and was quickly given the rank Expendable and assigned to the [redacted] Unit.
