### Entry Log-001

For a creature of the sea, this is surprising. Crab is an entity, a humanoid organism, which has various crustacean parts, making a majority of its body. The organism can stretch its body and change its parts to its will. It can easily travel through obstacles with its simple shapeshifting abilities. However, for a sea monster it can live in the sea, but doing so has its costs. The crab shares the same oxygen meter as we land-dwellers do, and if it spends too long in the water, it decondenses due to lack of oxygen, and becomes a sea anemone type organism, which is still alive however, is no longer humanoid, and can no longer change shape. The sea anemone theory is proved by the accounts of a mad imperium soldier and his first encounter with the creature. The creature insists it is male, and there are more of its kind, and it is a subspecies of a beast known as ocean crawlers. However, none of this is confirmed, as it, being the only one of its kind (so confirmed) does not have another specimen to compare its gender to. Hybridization possibilities are also unknown. I will designate this creature as Entity-2722.-E.R.

"Ok I will tell you the story"
"Proceed."
"So me and my troop, go on marching, and we are supposed to patrol the imperium beaches!"
"We are hungry, and one of my troop sees a mushy thing. This man is son of crab catcher."
"He sees it and upon realizing hunger he jokes"
"Its a Crab Cake, lol"
"We also see, and realize it would be long before we hit the mess halls"
"We decide we could eat this creature, and begin talking how we cook it"

### Log-002

Entity grows stronger day by day.... It absorbs all the food that we give it, and seems to become a bigger blob. Its behavior is becoming more and more volatile, as its attacking the walls to escape. Weve tried to use many chemicals on it, to try and stop its growth or potentially neutralize it. None of them worked, not even a large vat of hydrochloric acid. It hurts the creature, but only mildly inconveniencing it. However we have found it does not like fire and we can use that to control it.

### Log-003

It broke out of the enclosure. It broke into the facility, and killed 5 scientists, and 4 guards. We managed to force it back with flames, but the deadliness of this creature is too strong. We are throwing it into an open flame next week to finally kill this beast. It is too dangerous to be kept alive and study.

### Log-004

This creature's appetite has grown over the last 2 days. The Imperium's scientific fields food sources are being stretched dry because of it. The Fire pit is being prepared even as I make this log. We need to kill it before it breaks out, and kills the entire faculty, and may even attack civilians.

### Log-005

Flame Pit ACTIVATED. Several soldiers used torches to shove the beast into the fire pit, and once it was at the bottom the pit was set on fire. The creature roared at us, scratched at the walls, and screamed. It tried to climb out, but was poked back down by soldiers with torches, it grabbed 3 men and forced them to burn in the pit with it. The lid was applied to stop it from grabbing more. The pit was lit for 24 hours straight. 24 hours later, it was a pile of ash lying in the pit. We turned the flames off it did not stir.

### Log-006

We thought that the walls were simply molding. A red mold we never saw before. We used our mold killers, it did not come off. The mold grew and grew. Eventually it grew faces of nightmarish beasts and bodies. The creature was back, but somehow in larger number. We tried to kill it with flames, but they seemed to barely hurt this creature this time. Our facility is overrun. I've attached a small sample of the creature to this letter. Please find any way to kill it. Facility #3, is terminated.

### Log-007

We've studied the specimen sent to us. It somehow began to grow immediately. It matches the exact description of the creatures flesh. We've tried many things to destroy it, but it somehow keeps coming back as if a single cell is enough to bring it back. The rest of our facilities have gone silent. Their last transmissions being of similar descriptions of the creature. No civilian reports have gone out. It's hunting us down for revenge. It evolves faster than anything we have seen before. I hear footsteps of something at the door...

### Osterium Pirates and Aurelia

The entity was spotted with the Osterium pirates and house Talinthius. It fought in Aurelia's independence war from Maravilla.

### House Talinthius

It joined house Talinthius, and then the house broke up soon after. A coincidence? Later the beast left the house. Interesting. I have no wish to kill this thing, only to study it. It intrigues me.

### Iristor

It is said that the daemon known as Crab, with it's foresight could see into the future. With the thawing of the commet, and the release of the Paxians, it was apparent that judgement was upon the realms. Crab knew that it would be deemed unworthy, for it was a daemon. Knowing this, it hurled it's soul back into the hells, to be called into Abexilas, reborn in body. All that is left of Crab in Ratham are the mutilated horrors, however with the hivemind's presence wavering on them. Many return to their default instincts, as beasts. Hunting and killing to survive. The two patriarchs still remain, but are hollow shells, with a loose connection to the fiend. They serve it's purpose, but are no longer a part of it.
