Vectaerovenator

*Vectaerovenator* is a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived sometime during the Early Cretaceous in England.

## History

The holotype of *Vectaerovenator* include specimens IWCMS 2020.400, 2020.407, and 2019.84, found on the Isle of Wight's Ferruginous Sands in 2019. The fossils were collected and donated to a local museum, waiting for analysis to prove whether or not the remains belong to the same animal. These remains include two anterior-dorsal, and a single caudal and cervical vertebrae.

Plans in the future include a CT scan of the fossils, and more analysis of them.

## Description

*Vectaerovenator* is known from several vertebrae, which were discovered in the Ferruginous Sandstone Formation. The remains were found at different times, by three different collectors. The fossils were donated to a local museum, and rumour has it more remains attributed to *Vectaerovenator* have been collected. As of now, vertebrae from the neck, body and the base of the tail have been reported. After further analysis, the fossils belong to the same dinosaur, and the same individual in life.

They were found in a timespan from May to September, all look the same, and were eroded loose, knocked around by waves, hence their fragility. The bones are incredibly pneumatic, and have a clear slot for the spinal cord. Traits in the bones show the individual had not yet reached full maturity, showcasing a lack of fusing in the neurocentral suture. This means the animal still had a bit to grow, only being slightly larger at full maturity. *Vectaerovenator* has enough autapomorphies to be considered a valid genus.

## Classification

The theropod is possibly tetanuran, thought to be allosauroid, especially leaning towards the carcharodontosaurian lineages. Other opinions place it as a coelurosaurid, a megaraptorid, or even a tyrannosaurid. Phylogenetic analysis puts this dinosaur in Tyrannosauroidea, but this answer is still unclear. Further analysis stills leaves *Vectaerovenator*'s position unclear. It is, for now, labelled an indeterminate Tetanuran.

## Paleoecology

*Vectaerovenator* is the oldest recorded British dinosaur, minus indeterminate remains awaiting description. Remains of theropod like *Vectaerovenator* are rare, and many do not end in naming and taxonomic ranking. The remains were found in sandstone belonging to an aquatic environment. *Vectaerovenator* could have had a special link to water. It could be possible it was amphibious, catching fish in water, or forages near or in shallow water. Researchers assume the corpse was washed out to sea by river, however.

*Wannanosaurus* is an extinct genus of pachycephalosaur that lived in China during the Late Cretaceous.

## Description

*Wannanosaurus* is known from a partial skeleton including: a partial dome, mandible, a femur, a tibia, a partial rib and other unidentifiable fragments. Its skull had a relatively flat dome and large openings, which make paleontologists think that it had a basal position among Pachycephalosauridae. Its femur was about 8 millimeters (3.1 inches) long, meaning the animal was about 60 centimeters (2 feet) long.

That Which Cannot Be Named

"That Which Cannot Be Named" is an unnamed genus of theropod that lived in England during the Early Cretaceous.

## Description

The specimen was mentioned in an article in the Scientific American written by Darren Naish, and is a small coelurosaurian skeleton. The skeleton is in private hands and is unable to be studied or named, hence the given nickname. The specimen was recovered from the Wessex Formation. It may be a small tyrannosauroid. According to a British paleontologist, the remains will not be allowed for "this generation".

Tusoteuthis

Credit: Carnoferox on DeviantArt.

*Tusoteuthis* is a dubious genus of large cephalopod that lived in the United States and Canada during the Cretaceous.

## History

Initial describer and namer William N. Logan failed to provide an etymology for *Tusoteuthis* in 1898. It may be derived from the Latin "tusus", meaning "crushed" and Greek "teuthis" meaning "squid". This may be a reference to the crushed and deformed state of the gladius:

—Page 498 of the description

The species epithet was originally "*longus*", later corrected the the proper feminine "*longa*".

## Description

*Tusoteuthis* is often depicted as a squid, despite being closer related to modern octopi. *Tusoteuthis* has many species considered dubious, however, *T. longa* is the only species recognized as genuine. Examination of the gladius reveals that the mantle was close or equal in size to the giant squid. Remains have been documented from the Western Interior Seaway, including Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota and even Manitoba in Canada.

Most old estimates use giant squid proportions when estimating the size of *Tusoteuthis*, often resulting in Despite in the massive size of 25-35 feet (6-11 meters) long fully outstretched and a weight of 1 ton. More detailed and recent studies place the size much smaller due to updated soft tissue and based on closely-related cephalopods.

## Paleoecology

*Tusoteuthis* is thought to have preyed on smaller cephalopods, fish and marine reptiles. *Tusoteuthis* was still a prey item for many predatory fish of the Western Interior Seaway despite it's large size. A fossil of *Cimolichthys* was found with a *Tusoteuthis* gladius in the animals gullet, the back segment into the fishes stomach, with it's mouth still swallowing. The fish had died while swallowing a *Tusoteuthis* tail-first. Researchers now think the head or tentacles had remained free, blocking the gills, choking the *Cimolichthys*.

## Classification

Some sources consider *T. longa* as a dubious species, assigning most material with *Enchoteuthis melanae* and *Enchoteuthis cobbani* since it is often nondiagnostic.

## Synonyms

* *T. cobbani*?
* *Niobrarateuthis bonneri*?
* *Niobraratethis walkeri*?
* *Enchoteuthis*
* *Kansasteuthis*?

Westlothiana

Credit: Nobu Tamura.

*Westlothiana* is an extinct genus of reptile-like tetrapod that lived form 338 million years ago during the Late Carboniferous.

## Description

*Westlothiana* is the first tetrapod to develop a water-proof membrane on its eggs and create the ability to lay eggs on land without them drying out. *Westlothiana* is about the size of a salamander and ate small creatures on the banks of freshwater lakes.

## History

*Westlothiana* means "animal from the West Lothian". The species epithet means Lizzie, which a reference to the nickname "Lizzie the Lizard" adopted by press and paleontologists working with the specimen before it had been given a name.

Xiphactinus

*Xiphactinus*, sometimes known as the bulldog tarpon/fish, is an extinct genus of lobe-finned fish that lived in North/South America, Australia and Europe during the Late Cretaceous.

## History

*Xiphactinus* is the state fossil of Kansas.

## Paleobiology

Among the many fossil remains attributed to *Xiphactinus*, "Fish-Within-A-Fish", discovered by George F. Sternberg of a 13 foot long *Xiphactinus* swallowing a 6-foot-long *Gillicus* is among the most popular. It is thought the animal choked-down the smaller fish. As the *Gillicus* thrashed in the animals throat, an organ ruptured. Both fish died, being rapidly covered in sediment. Another specimen preserves a *Xiphactinus* swimming with a mosasaur fin between its jaws. This means that *Xiphactinus* likely hunted anything small enough to fit down its throat. To further solidify this, most specimens show large undigested or partially undigested items in their stomachs. One fossil displayed at the University of Kansas Museum of Natural History, collected by Charles H. Sternberg, shows a half-dead, weak individual being scavenged by *Squalicorax* and *Cretoxyrhina*. The smallest specimen is a mandible, 12 inches (30 centimeters) long. Almost nothing is known about the juvenile stages. *Xiphactinus* is known from numerous specimens.

Timeline

## THIS PAGE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS!!

The following is a timeline of known events which have ocurred in relation to Emanuel Fialik. This list of events mainly concerns events which ocurred on Earth, or at least, those which are significant enough to relate to humanity.

## **>50*,000,000 YEARS AGO***

Fialik invades and destroys the Xantirian population on Kepler-186f. It steals a Type VII Invader Mothership and begins its travel to Earth.

## **1804**

Fialik his Mothership around Greifswalderstraße in Berlin, Germany, and hides the vehicle by unknown means.
Fialik began a long killing spree - it killed and consumed over 6,213 (known) people. This spree ended in 1902.

## **1902**

Fialik begins a 70-year hibernation stage, in which it sleeps deep within the Earth's core, feeding off the planet's thermal energy. It is said (but not confirmed) that Emanuel Fialik used its psychic powers while hibernating in the Earth's core to influence the start of both World War 1 and World War 2.

## **1972**

Fialik awakens from hibernation and returns to Griefswalderstraße to record his first human-musical project with the band Ata. After finishing the first recordings, Fialik devoured the bandmembers. In this small timeframe, Fialik met Flake Lorenz and Paul Landers from then-Feeling B and Magdalene Kiebel Combo, cementing their later relationship with Rammstein.

## **≈February 1994**

Falco Richter becomes the first manager of Rammstein.
Richter establishes his base of operations in the Knaack Club building on Greifswalderstraße.

## **≈September 1994**

Fialik replaces Richter as the manager of Rammstein. Releases the 6-Track Demo 2, and sends them to various recipients.
Fialik takes over the Knaack building.

## **29th September 1995**

Rammstein releases their first album 'Herzeleid', gaining them, and by extension, Fialik, a significant boost of exposure and popularity.

## **27th September 1996**

Rammstein perform a special concert which Fialik records and puts on a VHS tape. He has the tape sent out to the band's fanclubs, and some copies get given away in a raffle in select magazines. This spreads Fialik's hypnotic influence.
Wightia

*Wightia* is an extinct genus of tapejarid that lived in England during the Early Cretaceous.

## Description

*Wightia* is known from a set of premaxillae, small fragments from the Wessex in England. *Wightia* likely had a small crest.

## Notable Specimens

* IWCSM. 2020. 401: The holotype of *Wightia* consists of a set of fragmented premaxillae.

## Paleoecology

*Wightia* lived in the Wessex Formation, where insects like *Dungeyella* were common and the apex predators were *Baryonyx*, *Ceratosuchops*, *Riparovenator* and *Neovenator*. Small mammals like *Eobaatar*, *Loxaulax* and *Yaverlestes* scurried through the undergrowth, to foraging ornithpods like *Hypsilophodon* and *Mantellisaurus*. *Wightia* was likely omnivorous like other tapejarids.

Xenocyon

Credit: Mario Massone.

*Xenocyon* or *Canis (Xenocyon)*, is an extinct subgenus of canid that lived in Eurasia and Africa from the Pliocene to the Middle Pleistocene.

## Classification

Xenocyon is a proposed subgenus of *Canis*, with *Canis (X.)* ex gr. *falconeri* including all large hypercarnivorous Late Pliocene-Early Pleistocene Old World canids. *Canis (X.) africanus*, *Canis (X.) falconeri* and *Canis (X.) antonii* are distinct, but can be considered extreme geographic variations of the same taxon. They are hypercarnivorous, have a large body size similar to *Canis lupus* and have a proportionally short neurocranium that characterizes the subgenus. Canids are ancestral to the African wild dog, but their fossil remains are difficult to distinguish from *Canis (X.) africanus*. Some consider *Canis (X.) lycaonoides* to be ancestral to *Lycaon* and *Cuon*. Thus, one taxonomic affinity has suggested all *Xenocyon* are *Lycaon*, which would form three chronospecies; *L. falconeri*, *L. lycaonoides* and *L. pictus*.

## Species

* *Canis (X.) africanus*
* *Canis (X.) antonii*
* *Canis (X.) lycaonoides*
* *Canis (X.) falconeri*
* *Canis (X.) dubius*
Tarbosaurus

Credit: Gabriel Ugueto.

*Tarbosaurus* is an extinct genus of tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived in southern Mongolia and China during the Late Cretaceous.

## Description

Although slightly smaller than the related *Tyrannosaurus*, *Tarbosaurus* was one of the largest known tyrannosaurids. The largest individuals reach 10-12 meters (33-39 feet) long. The mass of a fully-grown individual is considered to be comparable to, or slightly smaller than, *Tyrannosaurus*, often estimated at ~4–5 metric tons.

The largest *Tarbosaurus* skull is more than 1.3 meters (4.3 feet) long, which is larger than all other tyrannosaurids, except for *Tyrannosaurus*. The skull was tall, similar to *Tyrannosaurus*, but not as wide, lacking especially towards the posterior. This means that *Tarbosaurus*' eyes did not face forwards directly, suggesting that it lacked binocular vision, contrary to *Tyrannosaurus*. 58-64 teeth lined its jaws, slightly more than *Tyrannosaurus*, but fewer than smaller genera such as *Gorgosaurus* and *Alioramus*. Most of its teeth were ovular in the cross section, though the teeth in the premaxilla are D-shaped. This heterodonty is characteristic of tyrannosauridae. The longest teeth were of the maxilla, with crowns 85 millimeters (3.3 in) long or less. A ridge on the outer surface of the angular that articulates with the rear of the dentary creates a locking mechanism, which is unique to *Tarbosaurus* and *Alioramus*. Other tyrannosauridae, however, lacked this ridge, having more flexibility in the mandible.

UMNH VP 5949

Death Ridge Centrosaur or Centrosaur Taxon C, is an unnamed genus of Centrosaurine Ceratopsid that lived in Utah during the Late Cretaceous.

## Description

This taxon was recovered from the Wahweap formation of Utah. The specimen is only known from a partial frill. Despite the fragmentary nature of this specimen, it perseveres features on the frill that distinguish it from Avaceratops, which is most likely this taxon's closest relative. It may have had spikes similar to Styracosaurus.

Troodon

Credit: Rebecca Gelernter.

*Troodon* (previously *Troödon*) is a dubious and potentially invalid genus of troodontid dinosaur that lived in North America during the Late Cretaceous.

## History

Originally spelled as *Troödon* by Leidy (1856), it was officially amended by Sauvage (1876). The type is a single tooth, to which taxonomic issues have been identified since it is difficult to verify classification with dental morphology. This has created conflicting opinions. It was first called a lacertilian, reassigned to Megalosauridae by Franz Nopcsa von Felső-Szilvás (1901). Gilmore (1924) suggested it should be called *Stegoceras*, synonymizing *Troodon* with it; this was adopted for many years, until Sternberg (1945) reclassified it as a theropod, using the name Pachycephalosauridae for dome-headed forms and Troodontidae for the novel theropod group. For many years, specimens across continents and millions of years were subsumed into this genus. However, most today consider this species restrictive to the Judith RIver Formation.

## Description

It bears typical troodontid dental characteristics: triangular teeth with numerous serrations. These suggest a more herbivorous-aligned diet and probably ate soft meats as it was incapable of chewing skeletal elements, exoskeletons and tough plants. As with (presumably) all derived troodontids, it had enlarged second pedal unguals in a configuration convergently evolved from dromaeosaurids for predation purposes,

## Classification

It is one of the most derived troodontids, alongside *Zanabazar*, *Saurornithoides* and *Talos*, being part of a specialized clade with the aforementioned. Zanno et al. (2011) find:

## Synonyms

* *Stenonychosaurus* (reassigned material; valid)
* *Latenivenatrix* (reassigned material; valid)
* *Polyodontosaurus*?

## Paleobiology

*Troodon* likely ate baby dinosaurs, but its main prey were birds, lizards, snakes, and small mammals. The form of the teeth suggests that *Troodon* may have been opportunistic, snatching whatever scraps of food were left behind by larger animals, based on the fact that *Troodon* would have been lower down the food chain. *Troodon* teeth were not adapted to crunch down on hard-shelled food, instead favouring soft prey rather than tough plants or shelled animals.

Triamyxa

*Triamyxa* is an extinct genus of beetle that lived in Poland during the Late Triassic.

## Description

*Triamyxa* is known from 230-million-year-old coprolites from the dinosaurimorph *Silesaurus*. These insects were preserved in 3D, with their legs and antennae intact. This genus was named in 2021, and may offer a new method of finding insect fossils aside from amber. This method is the first use of fossil coprolites to detect and name organisms inside. *Triamyxa* belongs to Myxophaga, whose ancestors live in wet environments, particularly on algae. This is where the genus name derives, the species epithet referring to how the individuals were encased in a fossil coprolite. They determined the *Silesaurus* consumed many of the beetles, but they were too small to fully sustain the 2-meter-long 15-kilograms-heavy predator. They also found mangled remains of larger beetles in the dung, which means *Silesaurus* was an omnivorous animal who consumed insects regularly.

The coprolite was scanned via the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble, France. They used a machine that works similarly to a CT scanner, but uses strong X-rays to find and document structures inside in high resolution, 3D and with great contrast. This study may reveal more insect species hidden in fossil dung. This beetle was tiny.

### Diet

Carnivorous

*Rana*, known as Holarctic true frogs, pond frogs or brown frogs, is a genus of frogs that live in Eurasia and North America.

## Description

*Rana* frogs are defined by their slim waists and wrinkly skins. Most *Rana* individuals have thin ridges of flesh running don their backs, and lack the signature warts toads bear. Their hindlimbs are exceptionally webbed, which aids in propulsion

*Rana* are usually greens and browns on the top of their bodies, with darker and yellow-tinted spots. *Rana* frogs breed in the springs (though tropical and subtropical species breed throughout the year). Most males of the *Rana* genus can call for mates, while some are "voiceless". Females lay many eggs in large globular structures, or rafts, producing up to 20,000 eggs in one time.

Urlibe Khudak Therizinosaur

The Urlibe Khudak therizinosaur is an unnamed genus of Therizinosaur that lived in Mongolia during the Late Cretaceous.

## Description

The The Urlibe Khudak therizinosaur was discovered by the Institute of Paleontology and Geology of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences in 2012. The holotype consists of a well preserved ulna, radius, carpals and manus, all of which in articulation. Most of the hand anatomy is standard to Therizinosaurs except for the Third digit. The metacarpal was greatly reduced and possesses features seen in no other Therizinosaurs. While the claw of digit 3 wasn't preserved it is likely that the digit was either a small splint of bone or complete absence of that digit, either way the animal was functionally didactyl (similar to Tyrannosaurs). At Dinosaur Expo 2019, the mentioned limb elements were displayed in a glass case alongside a vertebral series, parts of the shoulder girdle and a pelvis with associated sacral and caudals.

Tomarctus

Tomarctus brevirostris. Credit: @PalaeoSD on Twitter.

*Tomarctus* is an extinct genus of canid that lived in North America from the Early to Middle Miocene.

## Description

*Tomarctus* lived with *Cynarctoides*, however when the genus became extinct, *Tomactus* took over the hyena-like, bone crushing and frugivorous lifestyles animals like *Cynarctoides* had. Two species fall into the *Tomarctus* genus; *T. brevirostris* and *T. hippophaga*. *T. brevirostris* is synonymous with *Aelurodon francisi*, and was named by Cope in 1873. Fossil specimens are uncovered as far south as Panama, east Plum Point, Maryland, west California and north Montana. *T. hippophaga* was named by Matthew and Cook in 1909 from the Trojan Quarry of Nebraska's Olcott Formation. Specimens of this species are found as far west as California, and as north as the Montana/Alberta border line.
Xylolaemus

*Xylolaemus* is an extinct genus of bark beetle that lived during the Eocene in Europe.

## Description

*Xylolaemus* is known from a clear block of amber including several *Quercus* fibers, and a partial aphid. The beetle is a uniform dark gray colouration. The specimen lacks features modern insects have, like patches of setae at the elytras base.

Kepler-90i is a super-Earth exoplanet which is located an unknown distance away from Earth. It was once the homeworld of the Kathfar, a Kardashev Type III civilization which was singlehandedly exterminated from the inside by Emanuel Fialik. Kepler-90i was Falco Richter's homeworld.

## Connection to Emanuel Fialik

Many millions of years ago, Kepler-90i was bombarded with deep-space comets. Locked inside the ice of one of these comets was Fialik's frozen body - Fialik had climbed in to the forming ice of a comet a few million years before it crashed on Kepler-90i's surface in order to hitch a ride to a random civilization.

After crashing on Kepler-90i, Kathfar residents of a nearby research station (Outpost 32) retrieved the chunk of the comet which contained Fialik's body. That night, while the researchers were sleeping, Fialik exploded from the containment of the comet and began to assimilate the Kathfar researchers, one by one. It later went on to drive the entire Kathfar species to extinction after reaching their nearest civilization. It is presumed that it did this through the use of his most common tactic; musical hypnosis.
Robert Christgau

Robert Christgau was a worthless parasite, once known as the 'Dean of American Rock Critics' before his soul was absorbed by Emanuel Fialik sometime between 1997 and 2001.

## Connection to Emanuel Fialik

Christgau, being a music 'critic', gave Rammstein's albums, Herzeleid (1995) and Sehnsucht (1997) extremely negative reviews (despite his own claims that he has prejudices against many genres of music, of which Rammstein's genre is one - hence, entirely invalidating his review(s), which in addition to being insanely biased, amount to nothing more than a pompous display of illegitimate superiority).

Emanuel Fialik tried its best to silence Christgau, but it was too late, as sites such as Wikipedia, and Christgau's own website had already publicly hosted the review(s). Ultimately, Christgau's shallow attempts at 'criticism' would not deter many listeners, (mainly those who actually have the fucking autonomy to decide what they consider music), and Fialik's killing of Christgau meant nothing.

After the murder, Fialik replaced Christgau with a doppelgänger, (made using exotic non-baryonic matter, binded together by a series of human souls he had collected over the years). Christgau's murder was only discovered after authorities raided Knaack Club, following Rammstein's retaliation against Fialik in 2010.
Alambrix

Alambrix, (full name: Alambrix Fialik), known on YouTube as "TheAlambrix" is a YouTube personality and musical artist. He is a half-human, half-Fialik hybrid, born shortly after Emanuel Fialik impregnated a woman at a Rammstein concert, sometime in 1997.

## Connection to Emanuel Fialik

Alambrix was known for creating various Rammstein remixes, which he posted online, and advertised for sale in CD format. Rammstein's management was quick to DMCA the remixes, after it had come to their attention that Emanuel Fialik's son was the creator.

Alambrix, being the son of Emanuel Fialik, shares the same lust for human destruction that Emanuel himself does. For this reason, it was pure instinct that lead him to create the remixes - these remixes use the same kind of binaural beat patterns used in Fialik-era hypnotic Rammstein songs, such as in the famous demo tapes. This effectively makes Alambrix Fialik an equal threat to Emanuel itself.

## Post-DMCA

Alambrix Fialik still occasionally posts YouTube videos to his channel, but has mostly remained off the radar for a while. World governments are aware of his existence, but have stated that they will not act upon him until he proves that he is sufficiently dangerous.

## Implications

The implications of Alambrix Fialik's existence are vast, and terrifying. It wasn't known that Emanuel Fialik could reproduce until Alambrix's connection to Emanuel was established. This could imply that there are many, many Fialiks out in the wild, waiting to strike. More information will need to be gathered to assess the threat level.
AFTF

The AFTF (Anti-Fialik Task Force) is an elite special operations task force, brought into existence by the Obama Administration in 2010 following the United Nations' discovery of Fialik's alien origins and threat to humanity.

## Formation

Following the initial revelation of Emanuel Fialik to the United Nations in 2010, the Obama Administration created the Anti-Fialik Task Force. The task force was created with the sole intent of internationally suppressing any of Fialik's attempted resurgences.

Barack Obama himself signed the official paperwork which would later bring the AFTF in to existence - this paperwork declares that the AFTF, which would be stationed at Area 51 during its standby period, would have global jurisdiction; an agreement made with most major countries of the world, including most of Europe.

## Operations

Since the inception of the task force in 2010, it has remained mostly on-standby. Only in 2013, when the German newspaper Berliner Morgenpost interviewed Fialik, unaware of its alien properties, was the task force called upon to investigate.

### 2010

   During the Berliner Morgenpost investigation, the task force uncovered a CCTV recording from an unspecified street in Berlin from a week before the interview; it was here that a still shot of Emanuel Fialik's intermediate form, roaming the streets, was acquired. Unfortunately, Fialik escaped from this scene unscathed.

### 2019

Following The Jeder lacht leak of 2019, Fialik attacked the RammWiki headquarters in Berlin, Germany. It was subdued and rendered unconscious by multiple security guards via heavy gunfire. The RammWiki team quickly called the German defense minister, who in turn, called upon the AFTF to capture Fialik. Currently, Emanuel Fialik remains under Government captivity, and is still unconscious.
Scammstein

Scammstein MV-Gamma 72.1

'Scammstein' refers to an infinite collection of bands from an infinite number of different universes from across the multiverse - their commonality is that they are all variants of Rammstein. Most Scammsteins are different in some way - some more than others. Some Scammsteins are identical to Rammstein in our universe - some are incomparably different.

Scammstein became known to humanity in our universe by Emanuel Fialik, who left detailed notes about its different victims from across the multiverse. It is solely because of these newly discovered notes that it has been learned that Emanuel Fialik can travel between universes at will.

To date, up to 3,518 different Scammsteins are known, including the original Scammstein, Wammstein, Shazammstein, Hammstein, Epstein, Weinstein, Einstein, Stein, and Ein. Only two variants so far have aliases known to the public: Flaul Loranders and Roachard Zuckerkruspe.

## Scammstein No.1

The single most well known Scammstein is the eponymous 'Scammstein' - the band from which this category of bands gets its name (as it was the first to be discovered). Scammstein (Scammstein MV-Delta 51) were a Berlin-based Rammstein clone. The lineup consisted of Tit Lindam (vocals), Rinchard Krospe (lead guitar), Paulo Lenders (rhythm guitar), Olive Needle (bass), Christoph Lorenz (keyboard) and Christian Snider (drums).

In MV-Delta 51, Scammstein's home universe, Scammstein were insanely hideous, ugly men. This lead to nobody liking their live shows. They stopped playing live, and spent all of their time playing in the studio to make records. They released their 6-track demo tape in September of 1994, with the 'help' of Emanuel Fialik.

The name 'Scammstein' allegedly comes from the fact that the band took to scamming live audiences of other bands due to their hatred of the public after being made fun of for their deformed appearances. They would stand outside of venues for Pankow, Farmer Boys, Russ & The Velvets, and other bands in the area at the time, and would force guests to give them extra funds, stating that their tickets were invalid, and that they needed to pay for new ones.

Emanuel Fialik later propelled Scammstein in to success - they released Scherzeleid in 1995, Set in sucht in 1997, Nutter in 2001, Rise, Rise in 2004, and Rose & Rot in 2007 before Emanuel Fialik was able to consume the entire universe of MV-Delta 51, signalling the end of Scammstein.

## Other Scammsteins

Every other Scammstein that has been discovered from Fialik's notes was already consumed and destroyed by Fialik. Some press pictures from other Scammsteins were found in DIA slide format, amongst Fialik's diary entries. Some of these pictures are presented below:

Tiourarén Thyreophoran

The Tiourarén Thyreophoran is an unnamed genus of basal Thyreophoran that lived in Niger during the Middle Jurassic.

## Description

The taxon is known from a bonebed of mostly complete, but disarticulated remains. These remains are also associated with two other dinosaurs, the sauropod *Jobaria* as well as the Theropod *Afrovenator*. The individuals present at the site range from sub adult to adult in age. This could be proof of age segregated herding within the species. The femur morphology of the specimen seems to indicate that it was a obligate quadruped. It differs from *Scutellosaurus* based primarily on the scapular blade being subtriangular instead of subrectangluar, the morphology of the illium, the preacetabular , the prepubic process is dorsoventrally compressed instead of transversely, like *Scutellosaurus*. The scutes also range in size from small ossicles to those half the size of the ilium.

## Classification

Sereno determined that the taxon was more derived than *Scutellosaurus*, but less derived than Eurypoda. It makes no mention of it's relation in more detail, but it can be assumed that it is in a position between *Scutellosaurus* and *Emausaurus* due to the similarities between the taxa.

Book of Emu

The Book of Emu is a prophetic scripture which is still being written by the Cult of Emu of Oniontown, USA. The book, much like the holy bible, serves as the one central text of the Cult of Emu and its followers - it details the history of Emanuel Fialik, and its journey to Earth, and eventual intent on bringing the universe to entropy.

Multiple copies of the book exist; the very first edition was written by the grand witch of the Cult of Emu, Amy Jones. Later editions would have more expansion.

The few fortunate enough to have seen the texts of the Book of Emu have noted its reference to a being known as Boran Zihac, whose role within the universe is deemed to be malevolent but is otherwise unknown.
5-Track Demo

The 5-Track Demo is the first and only demo tape made by Falco Richter for Rammstein. There was only one copy in cassette-form ever made (some DATs were issued around the same time, but they did not possess the same supernatural properties as the main cassette).

The tapes were created at Greifswalderstraße , Berlin, the headquarters of Falco Richter at the time, and also the then-location of Knaack Club. Emanuel Fialik later seized Knaack after forcing Falco Richter to commit suicide.

The tape inlay itself was made using the blood of a hundred sacrificed virgins, a paste of bonemeal and crushed ants, and an ancient Egyptian papyrus. The artwork features the Rammstein logo in Nordic Runes - it was later revealed that Falco Richter's species, the Kathfar spoke natively in a language where Nordic Runes represented their entire language.

The cassette was made with paranormal properties which were meant to negate the effects of Emanuel Fialik's hypnosis. The paranormal properties evidently were not effective against Fialik, who later lead Richter to suicide, and released the 6-Track Demo 2.

## Connection to Humanity

On April 30th, 1994, the 5-Track Demo was given to a radio host for the DT64 radio station. This radio host played the song 'Jeder lacht' on the radio from the tape, but too few people were around to hear it, so it was never recorded, making it extremely rare in the years to come. Jeder lacht, being recorded under Falco Richter's management, would have the power to negate Emanuel Fialik's hypnosis if heard by too many people.

Sometime in 2019, Jeder lacht, along with the rest of the tracklist, was leaked in its entirety to YouTube, in an event known as the Jeder lacht leak of 2019.

Video & Photographic Sightings of Emanuel Fialik

This page is dedicated purely to sightings of Emanuel Fialik (after 2009, when it became rogue). The purpose of this page is to keep the public informed about where Fialik is, and how much of a threat it is at any one time.

## Fialik's Influence

While not shown in person, Fialik's hypnotic influence can be witnessed during the Tier Fleisch Incident of 1994, an abridged version can be seen below.

## 2013

Fialik in his intermediate form can be witnessed on CCTV footage captured in 2013.

## 2020

[WARNING: GRAPHIC] Fialik captured murdering four civilians.
Kepler-186f

Kepler-186f is an exoplanet which is located approximately 580 lightyears away from Earth. It was once the homeworld of the Xantirians, a Kardashev Type III civilization which was singlehandedly exterminated from the inside by Emanuel Fialik.

## Connection to Emanuel Fialik

Long before complex life began on Earth, the planet was invaded by Emanuel Fialik. At an unknown point in time, Fialik secretly boarded a colonial vessel from an unknown world while in larval form, and left the vessel once it boarded on Kepler-186f. It immediately began harvesting Xantirian souls (which were in heavy abundance at the time, due to their success as a species), and shortly thereafter, began a 75-year hibernation period in the core of the planet.

When it emerged from the planet's core, it overtook the entire species in less than 10,000 years; slowly absorbing all of the Xantirians' souls through the use of Xantirian music. Shortly afterwards, Fialik left the world on a stolen Type VII Invader Mothership, and over millions of years, all evidence of the Xantirian empire began to decay.

The stolen Type VII Invader Mothership was used to reach Earth.
Zos Wash Dromaeosaur

Specimen once called IGM 100/981 but later clarified to be IGM 100/3503; apparently an element of the Zos Wash dromaeosaur.

## Statistics

### Diet

Carnivorous

The Zos Wash Dromaeosaur is an unnamed genus of Dromaeosaurid dinosaur that lived in Mongolia during the Late Cretaceous.

## Description

The taxon was noted in the description of *Tsaagan* as similar to the species, but differing in the morphology of the frontal bone. It wasn't specified if it was known from just the frontal, or if more bone is known.

## Phylogyny

This cladogram was modified from Currie and Evans (2019):

Knaack Club

Knaack Club was a live music venue on Greifswalderstraße, Berlin, Germany. It was God-being Emanuel Fialik's headquarters from 1994 to December 31st 2010; a place from which it distributed many of the cursed 6-Track Demo tapes.

## Connection to Emanuel Fialik

In 1994, Emanuel Fialik used Knaack Club in Greifswalderstraße as its headquarters, from which he would send various cursed demo tapes to many people to promote Rammstein. During his time in Rammstein's management position, Emanuel Fialik brutally murdered many collectors, bootleggers, and other Rammstein fans and kept a small few of their bodies inside of Knaack Club for snacking at a later date. It would distastefully call the venue "Snaack Club" because of this.

On December 31st 2010, Knaack Club was closed after the Rammstein members broke free of Fialik's hypnosis and buried it in a ditch in Leipzig, and directed investigators to Knaack Club. Investigators found evidence of Emanuel Fialik's gruesome murders in the building, causing Fialik to never return to Greifswalderstraße again, lest it be found by authorities. One striking piece of evidence found was one of the female corpses used in Eugenio Recuenco's artwork for Rammstein's album "Liebe ist für alle da".

The club was closed after news that the Cult of Emu were planning a pilgrimage to the location - the closure was made under a public lie that "noise pollution" and "financial instability" were to blame.
Hibernation

Emanuel Fialik's hibernation cycle is a very complex system which is used by Fialik's body to allow it to function. The hibernation cycle comes in three stages:

## Stage 1

The first stage of Emanuel Fialik's hibernation cycle begins before any true hibernation begins. At this point, Fialik is in its larval form, and hasn't yet achieved its sapient God-form. Fialik must feed on anywhere from 3,000 to 9,000 human souls at a time. This process actually slightly weakens Emanuel Fialik.

## Stage 2

At this stage, Emanuel Fialik burrows deep down in to the Earth's core. Normally, most matter would be torn apart and melted by the sheer heat, but Fialik is resistant to this heat. The high concentrations of thermal energy in the Earth's core are absorbed by Fialik, who uses the energy to render the absorbed human souls in to usable energy. With this new, usable energy, Emanuel Fialik undergoes metamorphosis which takes up to 75 years at a time, but has been recorded as low as 70 years.

## Stage 3

At the final stage, Emanuel Fialik emerges from the Earth's crust in its humanoid God-form. It can sustain this form for up to 30 years before repeating the cycle. If Emanuel Fialik sustains damage which, in humans, would be considered mortal, it will also repeat the hibernation cycle early in order to regain its strength.
27.09.1996 (concert)

## 100 Jahre Rammstein Concert

On 27th of September, 1996 was the 100 Jahre Rammstein concert. This famous concert costed 38 Deutsche Marks to attend, and 6,000 people were there. This is one of most infamous live concerts that Emanuel Fialik used to broadcast its sonic hypnosis.

## Connection to Emanuel Fialik

Fialik organized the concert itself. This concert would be a small, enclosed space where certain sound frequencies could reverberate perfectly; this includes Fialik's sonic hypnosis frequencies, or binaural beats. In this small, enclosed venue, packed with 6,000 attendees, Fialik could best channel his effects. A perfect opportunity.

Emanuel Fialik had the concert sponsored by NIL cigarettes, because a little-known side-effect of nicotine is that it actually makes Fialik's hypnosis easier; an audience full of smokers would be far more susceptible to its effects. The concert started with the song "Rammstein"; once this first song ended, Fialik officially started broadcasting the hypnosis frequencies through the speakers alongside Rammstein's music.

75% of the way through the concert, Fialik lost control; in his over-ambition, he played his hypnosis frequencies louder, and louder; every minute, the volume would rise until eventually, during the 10th track of the setlist, "Heirate mich", Fialik had raised the volume too high, and it caused a burning steel 'Rammstein' sign attached to the ceiling to collapse onto the audience, harming around 5 people. One person was admitted to the hospital, who Emanuel Fialik later visited to consume his soul, leaving a cold, dead body in the hospital bed. Doctors pronounced the victim's death as natural.

In a final attempt to hypnotize as many people as possible, Fialik released a proshot recording of the concert on a VHS tape (named Rammstein: LIFE) and gave it to the Rammstein fanclub as a Christmas gift. Around 300 recipients were hypnotized by this method alone.
