Anomaly 303

NAME: Call of the Sea

CLASSIFICATION: A

DESCRIPTION: A 12' inch conch shell horn weighing 5 pounds. Etched around the shell are images of sea waves, tropical islands, small stick figures blowing a miniature shell, and a large pale red crab.

LEVEL: Folk Lore

INFORMATION: Anomaly 303 aka Call of the Sea is to be contained in a shoe box lined in bubble wrap and laced in waterproof material. DO NOT USE ANOMALY ANYWHERE NEAR ANY BEACHES, PONDS, LAKES, OCEANS, OR SEAFOOD RESTAURANTS.

Anomaly 303 aka Call of the Sea is a conch shell horn that when blown into will create a mournful call that will echo for exactly one minute.

In the event that the anomaly is blown in close proximity to any aquatic life will cause said life to act strangely. Fish would dart away like they would if they saw a predator, seagulls will caw out in terror and take flight, water; both fresh and salt, will ripple and move.

After two minutes of this exactly 1,000 crabs; designated Anomaly 303-A Stage 1, will suddenly manifest in the strangest ways imaginable. From holes in the walls, to doorways, to even from under persons hat wear. These crabs will wander about docile for exactly three minutes before becoming aggressive and start to pinch everything near the core Anomaly. At the five-minute mark they will soon start to become Anomaly 303-A Stage 2.

Stage 2 is where the crabs will start to merge with one another, becoming bigger and more aggressive. When 10 crabs merge, they become a four foot tall crab.

At ten minutes they will start to become Anomaly 303-A Stage 3.

Stage 3 is where they become a 6-foot tall crab when ten of the stage 2 crabs merge. Stage 3 is when they develop cognitive planning and learning strategy. Each passing stage from then on will result in them becoming smarter.

Stage 4 aka Anomaly 303-A Stage 4; is where the Stage 3 crabs merge when five of the Stage 3 crabs merge and become 12 feet tall.

At the twenty-minute mark, the Stage 4 crabs will then become Anomaly 303-A stage 5; its final form!

Anomaly 303-A Stage 5 is a 24-foot-tall pale red crab weighing 3-tons. Legs measuring 10 feet long, claws measured as big as a large Deathstalker claw capable of slicing clean through steel, with eyes as big as bowling balls with a mouth five feet in length.

When it reaches this stage, it become capable of speech comparable to a 6-year-old child with the intelligence of an adult human/faunus.

Like its normal kin, its weakness is the underbelly of the shell. Stabbing it here with a sharp instrument will cause it to bleed and die; depending on how large said implement is.

When it dies, it breaks apart into its basic components aka 1,000 dead crabs which will dissolve into a liquified state. After a full month the core anomaly can be blown again and another instance of Anomaly 303-A Stage 1 will manifest and the cycle repeats.
