S3B

Scientific Name: Anthroprotarchaeopteryx. Common Name: Spooky Scary Skelly Bird. More Common Name: S3B
==Before the Virus==
Most Anthroprotarchaeopteryx were Protarchaeopteryx fossils on display, although some were still in the ground. Found nativly in China, they exist in the US because of museums and private collections.
==After the Virus==
Animated, the Anthroprotarchaeopteryx are vicious creatures. They hunt at night in their skeletal form, overpowering most oppents sue to numbers and brute force. Once they have eaten enough and flesh has covered the majority of their body, they become bolder and hunt in broad daylight in their human form, stalking prey until they are isolated, multiplying enmass to devour their prey. S3B's are smart enough to mimic basic behaviours of humans and recognize norms needed to pass.
If you see a stranger in town, and as you pass them you hear the creak of bones, beware, it could be S3B, scoping its next victim.
==Powers==
Human Form: S3B disguise it's self as a human. At first they can only take the form of a human skeleton, but the more they eat, the more living-human like they become. They can only mimic human form, and must get clothing from their prey. They can not speak, and the disguise has no mass to it, when they try to speak, the sound of creaking bones and a scream like harsh wind going through a skull in the desert comes from their mouth.
The more they eat the larger they become as well. In their first few human forms they retain their natural height in transformation and resemble children. For that reason they target children first, and move on to older larger prey the more they kill. An infestation of fully disguised S3B is marked by a disaperance of children, children acting different, and eventually older prettens, and then teens disapearing and acting oddly.
Replication: S3B can replicate it's self up to 10 times in it's lifetime. It can either do this spontaneously or over a long period of time. It's replicates are treated as wholy seperate creations, and must feast to gain flesh on their own. The replicates can replicate. Once an S3B has replicated 10 times it will crumble to ash.
