Lifeform 5081
A non-Terrestrial arachnid. It appears to be a six-legged, six-eyed Cobalt Blue Tarantula*.
It has been scanned and pictures have been taken [link]. It weighs roughly 12 kg, is 28 cm in height, 79 cm in length. No pathogens, allergens or toxins found [link].
When it was being examined it was noted that the creature had an odd nictate pattern. Six eyes blink sequentially, it takes 1.3 seconds before the sequence repeats.

* The Cobalt Blue Tarantula is a real tarantula and is really the colour the name implies.
Word: Nictate
nic - tate (verb) : to wink or blink
End Notes: I had this idea awhile ago, which was an image of a six-legged, corgi-sized tarantula in a cat harness being taken for walkies.
