Background Story

First catalogued by the JustUnleash field unit during a routine sweep of drywall maintenance shafts. The Whittler is currently designated Safe and demonstrates behavior consistent with classification Safe. Estimated threat index is 17/100 (MINIMAL). The entity primarily operates on a 47-minute hunting cycle synced to fluorescent flicker rates and has been encountered on 19 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: operates on a 47-minute hunting cycle synced to fluorescent flicker rates. Secondary cycle on a 51-minute interval.

Containment Procedures

Maintain perimeter of no less than 29 meters. Avoid use of reflective gear. Sector lockdown protocol JU-5B 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
