Anomaly 300
NAME: Fear Itself
CLASSIFICATION: A
DESCRIPTION: Unknown
LEVEL: Folklore
INFORMATION: Anomaly 300 is unable to be contained due to its Unknown nature.
Anomaly 300 or Fear Itself is unable to be described by any one individual due to its ability to shapeshift. Specifically, that which someone fears the most.
This has resulted in several ancient cultures of Remnant to incorporate this Anomaly into their myths and legends.
It has the ability to read a person's mind then shape-shifts into someone or something that they are truly afraid of. It feeds off the fears and hormones a person releases when they are frightened, giving it more energy to simulate more fear. Continuous exposure of the Anomaly will result in the individual to be frightened to death.
This is both its strength and weakness due to the fact that it can only simulate one person's fear at a time. In the event that multiple individuals are present when it shape-shifts, it will become an amalgamation of it. For example; a person who fears snakes alongside a person who fears spiders will result in a hybridization of both.
The only way to truly defeat this Anomaly is to face your fears, conquer them, and be unafraid of them. This will result in the Anomaly being powerless. When this happens, Fear Itself will do anything in its power to flee for survival.
