ULC: Vostok

A strange monster has been discovered living in Antarctica. This large creature, discovered to be male, has features of dragons and dinosaurs as well as various animals. His body is covered with blue fur except for his face and feet, which are white and smooth with a toughness similar to leather. His toes have strong white claws. He has a tail with a rounded tip. He has a long neck, similar to some species of dinosaurs, as well as a black and gray head crest. His chin has a short, blunt, black horn which has been called a Pharaoh’s beard due to its resemblance to the symbolic decoration on some ancient Egyptian murals and sarcophaguses. His eyes have blue-gray sclera, black irises, and white pupils. Like some species of dragons, he has a pair of feathery wings. These wings have a couple unusual features. One is that they are different colors, with the left being primarily white with a gold stripe and the right being entirely gold in color. The other is that the wings have light gray protrusions resembling arms, including “hands” with two fingers and a thumb. It has been discovered that the “thumbs” are capable of shooting energy beams. The creature wears jewelry in the form of white and gold bands around his neck and ankles. Since the creature showed remarkable resistance to the extreme weather of the South Pole, he has been named “Vostok” after the Antarctic research station where the coldest temperature on Earth was recorded.
Vostok was discovered to have the ability to speak, a keen intellect, and a desire to show his abilities, which made it easier to learn more about him. In addition to his ability to fly, cold resistance, and ability to fire energy beams, he displayed the ability to change his size at will, shrinking down to two meters before growing to a full height of ten meters. He has also bragged of an aptitude for science and technology. He stated that he forged the bands decorating his neck and ankles as a symbol of excellence. He also stated that he initially did not have the hand-like protrusions jutting from his wings, but he instead altered his body somehow in order to gain them and his energy-shooting ability. Darkly, he went on to proclaim that with his power and abilities, he was going to eradicate his enemies. When asked what that meant, he replied that killing was one way, but more and more he was looking at the idea of mind control, and that he was already working on a helmet-like device that could enable him to take control of others. When asked who his enemies were, he chose not to answer fully, but did clarify they weren’t human.
Vostok displayed a brilliant mind and impressive power, but also some selfish tendencies. We asked Head Scientist Scott Clerkson his thoughts on Vostok after he finished examining and interviewing him. Scott replied that Vostok’s knowledge and power could make him a strong ally, but he could also be a threat to the populace. For the meantime Vostok is staying at a specialized area in one of our facilities. He is interacting with some of our scientists and is being treated well, but his access to the laboratories has been restricted.
