Aberrant Number: A-5
Alias: Lurker or Lurkers
Threat Level: Hazardous
Destroyable?: YES

Description: A-5 is a collective designation for a group of quadruped naked humanoids that currently inhabits the swamp countryside in [REDACTED]. They're always hiding beneath the mud, hence their names. Each one has some greyish mossy skin.

The creatures don't have genitals and it is unknown how they reproduce since they're always beneath the swamp. All species were bald and each one had 5 to 6 eyes around them, some or on the back portion of their heads.

Behavior:

As the name suggest, instances of A-5 always sneak in the swamp similar to a crocodile and launch out on a nearby prey. They seemed to have a diet for larger preys like cows, goats and humans.

When the swamp gets dry (mostly when summer season), all species of A-5 will faint after 30 minutes of being exposed due to the heat and will get back to their consciousness if the swamp refills itself again.

Powers And Skills:

Teamwork: To take down a larger prey, A-5 instances could work together to pull the prey into their swamp.

Great Vision: Since Lurkers have so much eyes around their heads, they can see anything around them making them impossible to be sneak-up on.

Swimming Speed: Lurkers are fast swimmers when they're in a more deeper swamp.

Impossible Reproduction: Even though without genitals, they can mate and reproduce. Though it is unknown how they do it.

Sneaking: Lurkers are expert in sneaking underwater, they can move without making any noise or sign that they're coming.

Sharp Claws: Their sharp claws can tear into tougher skins which they use to rip their victims open

Common Weaknesses:

Ammunition: Bullets can kill them easily since they still have human-like vulnerability

Fainting: If outside the swamp for 30 minutes, the Lurker will faint and will only wake up if it was back on the water, although in some occasion a Lurker will die after 2 months of not having contact with the swamp.

Melee Weapons: Similar to bullets, these are effective to kill a Lurker.
