Beta-intel
Author's note-the next chapter will heavily feature the creatures in this intel. As such this will contain information regarding the creatures in hopes of understanding the next chapter better. Bonus points to anyone who knows what these creatures are based on. First person to review or PM me the correct answer gets a virtual thumbs up:)

As promised I've delivered the requested amount of Betas. However the creatures now have over 10 subspecies and as such I have decided that they will require more proper names for use in tactical applications. Inclosed with this intel is my new design for the fossil restoration machines. These machines can produce around 50 embryos a day. The biolums (egg sac like membranes that Betas grow inside and hatch from) usually hatch within 24 hours. Larger subjects will take up more power in the restoration machines and thus take longer to hatch.
Subject- Hunter
Height- 2.2 - 2.7 Ft
Weight- 88-152 lbs
The most basic type of Beta, hunters are as fast and as lethal as a Houndoom with twice the durability. They're armor plating is 2 times the strength of Scolipede armor. Their head plate is the most durable. Their shells are durable but are not guaranteed to stop anything above 45. ACP
Subject- Phantom
Height- 2.2 - 2.7 Ft
Weight- 88-152
An accidental overcharged on a restoration machine altered the powers of a specific hunter. Though identical to a Hunter in terms of physical abilities, Phantoms are distinguishable by their blue bioluminescence rather than the typical red of other betas. They are able to chance the chromatophores on their skin to render themselves invisible to the naked eye. Thermal vision however can detect them with ease. While observing one may seem akin to teleportation, in reality the light bending around their skin allows them to use the exceptional mobility of most betas to move around undetected. More research is required to understand how this power affects their instincts and motor coordination.
Subject- Rhino
Height- 5-5.8 Ft
Weight- 800-1050 Lbs
Rhinos are much larger and more heavily armored compared to Hunters. They rely more on brute strength and durability than Hunters. They are most distinguishable by their size and two horn like mandibles under their eyes. They rear up and charge with enough force to shatter a reinforced concrete wall. Their weakness is their tail, the hide on their tail is much weaker to allow for flexibility when digging underground. To date only 50. Caliber hollow point rounds have succeeded in piercing their shells. However any caliber exceeding 5.56 mm will prove effective when shot from behind.
Subject- Gargoyle
Height- 5.8-6.2 Ft
Weight- 600-750 Lbs
The only airborne Beta know to exist, Gargoyles are fast, capable of reaching speeds near 100 MPH when airborne. They are invisible to radar thanks to their odd body shape and excess thermal radiation given off by their wings. Their wings are bioluminescent, along with their mouth and claws. Most importantly however their long tails are tipped with a red long organ capable of channeling fire type energy. Most commonly used as fire breath or to enhance their teeth and claws. Their tails can unleash focused blasts of plasma in either an explosive orb or as a rapid fire shower of flaming projectiles.
Subject- Breeder
Height- 12.2 feet
Weight- 2,500 pounds.
Uncovered at the dig site in earth 26 was the remains of a massive Alpha Beta believed to be the largest of its kind. The only specimen ever discovered, the Breeder was brought to the Neo-Genetics facility and revived in a special incubation chamber with reinforced titanium walls. The creature is massive, standing over 10 feet tall on its six sharp legs. It has two smaller pointed appendages used for skewering prey. It can launch biolums to spawn other hunters that instantly hatch and defend it. It can also fire a volley of pyrokinetic projectiles at the same rate as a machine gun from the two spawning arms on its back. Creature is currently sedated and under 24 hour watch until a suitable method of control is found. Hopefully we can find a way to replicate the process in which it rapidly creates hunters...
Yours truly,
Cyrus
