Background Story

First catalogued by the JustUnleash field unit during a routine sweep of broken vending alcoves. The Whittler is currently designated Euclid and demonstrates behavior consistent with classification Euclid. Estimated threat index is 19/100 (MINIMAL). The entity primarily remains motionless until directly addressed by name and has been encountered on 3 separate documented occasions.

Origin

Origin remains [EUCLID-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: remains motionless until directly addressed by name. Secondary cycle on a 63-minute interval.

Containment Procedures

Maintain perimeter of no less than 23 meters. Avoid use of open flame. Sector lockdown protocol JU-7A 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.
