Background Story

First catalogued by the JustUnleash field unit during a routine sweep of yellow tile bathrooms. Carpet Maw is currently designated Safe and demonstrates behavior consistent with classification Safe. Estimated threat index is 19/100 (MINIMAL). The entity primarily engages only when the wanderer's heart-rate exceeds 110 bpm and has been encountered on 13 separate documented occasions.

Origin

Origin remains [SAFE-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: engages only when the wanderer's heart-rate exceeds 110 bpm. Secondary cycle on a 14-minute interval.

Containment Procedures

Maintain perimeter of no less than 58 meters. Avoid use of reflective gear. Sector lockdown protocol JU-1B 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.
