Background Story
First catalogued by the JustUnleash field unit during a routine sweep of loading docks at dusk. Vent Howler is currently designated Unknown and demonstrates behavior consistent with classification Unknown. Estimated threat index is 94/100 (EXTREME). The entity primarily mimics ambient HVAC noise to mask approach and has been encountered on 23 separate documented occasions.
Origin
Origin remains [UNKNOWN-LEVEL HYPOTHESIS]. Recovered field recordings suggest the entity may be a manifestation of predator phenomena native to deeper sectors. Cross-reference with parallel sightings in adjacent levels.
Behavior
Primary observed behavior: mimics ambient HVAC noise to mask approach. Secondary cycle on a 58-minute interval.
Containment Procedures
Maintain perimeter of no less than 30 meters. Avoid use of reflective gear. Sector lockdown protocol JU-4D applies if three sightings occur within 24 hours.
Investigation Notes
Sensor logs indicate elevated electromagnetic readings during all confirmed encounters. Theoretical model places this entity within the Sub-Strata stratum.
Survivor Testimony
