SUBJECT DETAILS

Classification: Experiment 0212

Codename: "Tempest Watcher"

Origin: Captured from Eyrie Peaks, Northern Tenari

Height: Approx. 3.8 meters at shoulder

Wingspan: Estimated 12 meters fully extended

Weight: 612 kg (estimated, fluctuates due to mana conduction)

Gender: [REDACTED]

Containment Type: Reinforced glass enclosure with atmospheric regulators and lightning diffusers

CREATION OVERVIEW

0212 was not created in-lab but rather altered post-capture.

Initial testing logs suggest minor infusion with Electro-Mana Solution Type VII, meant to enhance the species' natural lightning manipulation abilities. The operation was overseen by Dr. Valtorvathys and concluded with 92% survivability rating, which exceeded expectations for a wild-origin specimen.

However, subtle irregularities have since manifested — namely an unnerving stillness and refusal to interact with environmental stimuli beyond essential movement.

Following infusion, 0212's heartbeat emits a faint electrical pulse that syncs with nearby equipment every few seconds.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

0212 possesses the majestic yet imposing structure characteristic of griffins — leonine body merged with avian majesty — though slight anatomical irregularities are present due to experimental modifications.

Feathers: Charcoal gray with streaks of electric-blue veins that glow intermittently when exposed to low light.

Beak: Metallic sheen with small mana cracks near the upper ridge.

Wings: Each feather generates static electricity; touching them directly without insulation causes mild shocks.

Eyes: Normally silver-white, though during mana surges the pupils split vertically, resembling lightning forks.

Tail: Slightly elongated, tufted end glows faintly during rapid breathing cycles.

It appears unnaturally clean, feathers always aligned — despite the cell's airflow inconsistencies. Guards note that dust avoids its body entirely.

BEHAVIORAL PROFILE

Despite its wild origin, 0212 is unusually docile and obedient, showing immediate compliance when ordered to move or settle by containment guards — especially those it recognizes.

Attempts to provoke aggression through loud sounds, light flashes, and scent triggers were unsuccessful.

When addressed by name, the subject tilts its head and emits a deep, thunder-like rumble, suggesting partial understanding of vocal commands.

0212 often stands in the center of its containment cell facing the primary observation window, wings folded, motionless for extended durations.

Oddly, the subject shows no signs of stress or aggression even during extended isolation. Researchers hypothesize this calmness might be a form of learned submission or a post-alteration emotional flattening.

PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITION

0212's mental state is categorized as Neutral-Detached.

It displays:

No fear or anger response.

Recognition of personnel patterns.

Possible emotional dampening due to mana exposure.

Preference for stillness and silence over any stimulation.

Guard Notes:

> "It doesn't act like a beast anymore. It waits. Watches. Almost like it knows the schedule better than we do."

Attempts at telepathic probing produced static interference — likely due to the storm-aligned mana within its body. Direct empathic readings failed after two minutes due to interference causing equipment overload.

MAGICAL AND BIOLOGICAL TRAITS

Mana Conductivity: Exceptionally high; feathers store electrical charge and can release small controlled discharges.

Storm Connection: When thunder occurs outside the facility, 0212's feathers lift slightly as if reacting to unseen air pressure changes.

Bio-Energy Field: Generates low-frequency vibrations that distort nearby electronics when agitated.

Resistance: Near-immune to paralyzing toxins and standard tranquilizers.

Unknown Trait: Subject occasionally emits faint low hums resembling thunder echoes, possibly involuntary mana discharge.

PERSONNEL COMMENT – Dr. Valtorvathys

> "0212 remains silent, as if the storm within it has passed — but perhaps it's only waiting for the right thunder to return. I suggest we do not underestimate stillness."

---

FINAL STATUS

Containment stable. No escape attempts, no violent reactions.

Subject reclassified from "High Threat" to "Passive Sentinel."

Due to its docile nature, 0212 has been occasionally used as a containment sector guardian, responding obediently to certain guard-issued vocal commands.

Facility personnel refer to it unofficially as "The Guard Dog with Wings."
