M312

**M312** is the antagonist of the 2020 short horror film *Landon Dies.* M312 is the codename given to a strange four-armed entity that has being held in an unnamed containment facility.

It is portrayed by Patrick Schmaltz.

## Physical Appearance

M312 is a tall, seemingly four-armed entity with white skin and pale-yellow fingernails. It is presumably quite tall, but remains hunched over for an unknown reason. It wears a large, tattered, golden-brown cloak with a large hood covering its face and obscuring most of its body. There are two sleeves for its first set of arms to come out in, and its second pair of arms can exit through the large hole in the hood.

It's possible under the hood, assumed to be the head, may be some sort of black void as things such as plungers just go into it while anything from rope to arms or even fire comes out.

## Characteristics

From what has been shown of it thus far, M312 has no discernible personality traits. It does appear to be sentient, as it knows how to wield knives, open doors, and use rope (though its knowledge is used for violent purposes). It appears to enjoy stalking its prey through its enclosure, but its only desire seems to be to feed itself, as it is not seen trying to accomplish any other goal throughout the film. It is quite stealthy, as it was able to sneak up on multiple Landons multiple times.

## Background

At some point in the past, the monster was captured and put in the undisclosed containment facility where *Landon Dies* takes place. It was designated M312 and a plan was put together to keep it fed and contained -- a group of clones would be continuously created to provide it with a steady food supply.

## Crypt Monster Universe

### Landon Dies

The film shows multiple feeding procedures of M312 being carried out, with each subject being killed in a gruesome fashion before being consumed. Eventually, one of the clones became self-aware and realized it was going to be killed, and fought back against the monster. M312 chased the clone around the apartment habitat until the clone incapacitated it and nearly escaped. However, it was stopped by one of the lab workers and M312 was able to consume it. The next day, a lab worker is cleaning up the mess the previous clone made to commence the next feeding procedure, but is accidentally locked inside with M312, where he is killed and eaten like the clones.

## Powers and Abilities

### Skillset

* **Superhuman Strength:** M312 is considerably strong compared to humans, as it was able to pullthe head of one of the Landons back at a 90-degree angle with ease. It also held another Landon into a fireplace with relatively no effort, despite how much the Landon struggled.

### Unique Abilities

* **Pyrokinesis:** M312 has the ability to breathe fire, an ability it used to kill Landon-11355.
* **Multiple Limbs:** M312 can possibly create new arms at will, judging by the fact that it seems to have more than two arms which means either it created those arms or already had those arms.
* **Metabolism:** M312 is capable of eat a plunger whole, indicating a possible ability to swallow things whole, perhaps even a human.

### Equipment

M312 has been shown utilizing multiple objects to disable and kill its prey, including but presumably not limited to:

* A butcher knife
* A fork
* A string of rope

## Trivia

* In the final scene we see not only "M312" but also "M457" and "M458", this would imply the organization containing these creatures is currently containing or is aware of many other creatures within the universe.
	+ This could make the unnamed organization the most knowledgeable group within the universe when it comes to monsters.
