Spacelyweirdus

***"In the stars there grew a burning bright slit, its colour unmatched by anything on this world, and from that slit came Him, the great serpent whose presence dwarfs Yasathvik and who seeded among us a great fear and wonder and disbelief. And from His fins and tails there came a great light which took up our very awe at Him from our minds and absorbed it as a plant absorbs the water one pours to it, and then He was gone once more, and the sun and the moon blinked as He left and the Lights of the slit shrunk over many days after but remained."*** -A Ceretian legend of the creature.

## Notable information

The **Spacelyweirdus** (Known to the Ceretians as "**Al-Qrypsa¦tus**") is allegedly a bizarre cosmic or celestial entity that apparently will appear through some kind of wormhole, seemingly described as absorbing or feeding on disbelief of those who witness such a form. Of course, with the alleged size of the cryptid being considerably larger than the star Yasathvik -the creature being guessed as roughly in the range of the size of a supergiant such as Betelgeuse, all the way up to five light years- and it feeding on or absorbing disbelief and other similar emotions, there have been debates among the Ceretian and Human scientific community of its existence. A surprising majority of Humanity on the other hand has never heard of such a creature, with a few theorists believing that the wormhole through which humanity first got to Ceres was created by the alleged creature, with a majority of the Human scientific community disagreeing, stating the inplausibility of such a creature's nature. Though, it is agreed among tiny parties of both sides that if the Spacelyweirdus was indeed real, humanity would've found more evidence of its existence by now. (*Though criticisms of this opinion on both sides of the debate have pointed out the size of the universe, claiming that the cryptid beast could easily hide in- or out- of it from Humans without even trying*)

## Size

The Spacelyweirdus' length according to several theorists could be anywhere from 600 million kilometers (33 light minutes) to 6 light years, with most theorists agreeing with a size of 2 light years. Though others have questioned the upper estimates, noting that such a creature would take months, or even years to be even noticed, and due to this, few theorists argue the Spacelyweirdus stays idly for months and waits, while others argue that such a colossus, already clearly not following the laws of physics as we know them, might somehow seen in real time regardless of how far it is from any eyes, suggesting that the creature may be seen "more psychically than optically".

## Appearance

The appearance of the Spacelyweirdus is also another mystery, with the dubious nature of its existence, the only descriptions of the entity's overall appearance come in art dating back to many hundreds or thousands of years prior to man's discovery of Ceres. In such artwork, the Spacelyweirdus is often depicted with a dark turquoise carapace, with a neck that leads to a saurian head and a long, branching tail that all protrude out of the carapace. It is unknown if the Spacelyweirdus may use its carapace like those of Earthly testudines. These images also seem to show an array of tendrils protruding from points on the tail, fins and head of the entity, ending with pale orbs, possibly the source of the described light.

## Phenomena

Noticeably, images of the Spacelyweirdus seem to resist damage almost to a supernatural degree, as they have often not been nearly as degraded as other art dating from similar periods, and accounts describing images of the cosmic beast surviving nearly undamaged from accidents that would be almost certain to destroy them, as detailed in this account from Vytis Simmons:

***"We had discovered, carved and painted onto a cliff face in the southern jungle of Ván Scorpiplier, an almost perfectly preserved image, along with a quite massive store of text compared to the small snippets, sentences and poems more commonly discovered, concerning the supposed mythical creature Al-Qrypsa¦tus. The cliff face itself was quite crumbling- the work of various Ceretian mosses and such by the look of it- and so, naturally, the expedition was worried that the image would be destroyed if it were left here. We put it to a vote, and it was decided that we would try to remove the segment from the stone.***

***One Ván Kalloran archeologist aligned a chisel and the accompanying small mallet with a point above one corner of the part of the cliff face that contained the painting and texts. But before ¦q could strike the chisel, the juvenile Qrypuse¦ known as Módiq'Nathair quite suddenly flapped down nearby, creating a great rustling and squawking in the trees and frightening a whole flock of Llabfoolves. Shocked and surprised, the aforementioned Kalloran's chisel slipped, and hit the ancient script, scraping right over a good portion of the writing and the image itself. Before the offending instrument flew from the archeologist's hand and came to rest about ten metres away at the feet of Módiq'Nathair.***

***By the time Nathair was sniffing in curiosity at the chisel with one horned ear, however, all of us had run to see if part of the texts or, at the very least, the image, had survived, though I was unable to see it due to arriving near last and, well, being a Fox, but I could hear much gasping and whispering among the group, fearing for the condition of not only the ancient information but also for that of the archeologist's nerves, I made my way to the front. . . Only to see that all of the talk was about the real condition of the carvings; they were perfectly undamaged!***

***As for the chisel, Módiq'Nathair had apparently taken a liking to it, for she picked it up in her mouth and levitated off."***

## Supposed sightings

### October 20, 2019

A young cryptozoologist named Ken Johns was initially searching for bizarre cryptids he'd heard of during the dead of night, using his rather oversized telescope to observe. Then, he supposedly saw something he'd never forget. He was absolutely astonished to see a bright, burning slit in the distance open up, just above where Neptune would've been. Except, the slit seemed larger than a mere twinkle that the ice giant was, it was noticeable. And to Ken's disbelief, he saw a bizarre form emerge from the slit, what Johns dubbed *Pullisenes colossus*, a cryptid eerily similar to the "Spacelyweirdus", in terms of how its appearance was described. Ken immediately sketched up this creature as soon as he saw it, and stormed back into his room. The depiction was scoffed at by much of humanity, dubbing the creature as a fake, and NASA had denied such a case even happening. Decades later, and the ancient Ceretian art horrified those who didn't believe in Ken, with the ancient paintings horrifyingly resembling the several decade old sketch. A smaller party of those who believe the Spacelyweirdus may exist believes that this particular sighting is a separate individual from the Spacelyweirdus, or even a downright different species related to the Spacelyweirdus. In the latter case, they name the creature *Pullisenes colossus*.

### December 10, 2026

Henry Johns, the older brother of Ken, along with his friend, Patrick were out exploring the wilderness to have a good view of the Milky Way, hiking around for a certain amount of time, before yet another slit was visible, and it seemed to be as large as the Moon, though it seemed even further than where the boundary of the Oort Cloud would be. Henry watched and soon took out his camera to record this... He was bewildered that his younger brother was right half a decade ago when saw yet another monstrosity similar to *Pullisenes* emerge out of the slit, and soon, Johns would dub this a wormhole immediately, seeing the distortion around the slit. Henry took the sketch of the *Pullisenes*, and then remembered the size of the former that his little brother had described. Now, Henry was doubtful if this was actually *Pullisenes*. The bird-like shape of the *Pullisenes*' skull did not match up with the more draconic shape of this new creature's head.

The lights of this individual baffled Henry, who was in disbelief that such a cryptid's size and its capability of surviving way out in space. Johns could only glare in further disbelief at the overwhelming, hypnotic presence of the cryptid as it swam through space as a whale would've, its lights proved more of a stunning sight than the stars. Patrick soon decided that it was time to pack up, while Henry could only glare for another second, before snapping out, agreeing to this. Soon after, the creature turned back, going towards the wormhole, which didn't seem to close yet, instead seemingly gradually darkening immediately after the creature dove into the slit. Soon, Henry stopped the recording, and trekked back home with his friend. After the video was posted online, more people were somewhat convinced on the creature's existence, though most were still skeptical, and even Henry isn't entirely sure if this was a bizarre light show or not.
