Fiction:Pareidolia/Subject 2

Subject: Subject 2, called Fogolarth by facility scientists.

Class: 3

Containment Procedure
Subjects are to be locked away in a 20m x 20m x 20m area around a lava pit where they can survive. Personnel must use heat-adapted clothing to approach Subjects, or they will be incinerated. Personnel are forbidden to take water to Subjects' presence as it causes them to become dangerously aggressive.

Description
Subject 2 is the name given to a species of extremely large snake-like beasts composed of lava. Their bodies are literally moving lava, in a plasma-like state, which extends to an average of 3.8m meters above the ground. However, the largest Subject encountered was 8 meters tall. Subjects have no equivalents of eyes but can detect their surroundings via both their antenna and their long whiskers. Subjects are not sentient.

Subjects are capable of launching fire breaths and spitting lava through their mouths. A direct hit from these attacks is an instant incineration to any target but the most heavily protected. Subjects are also capable of absorbing fire and lava around them and add them to their own body. This is presumed to be their equivalent of eating.

Long exposures to water or cold temperates causes Subjects to solidify and die. Exposure to water also causes Subjects to enter a berserking state where they'll attack any stranger around them until the water is neutralized.

Addendum: Subject 2-1
By order of Administrator ******, Dr. Koluap is no longer allowed to put Subjects 2 in buckets. No only they won't fit, but that's downright stupid.

"Throwing them at Subject 7 will kill it!" is not a valid excuse.

Addendum: Subject 2-2
By order of Administrator ******, Dr. Koluap is no longer allowed near Subjects 2 at all. Not only 2 guards died today, but there's also a gigantic hole into Containment Center 5.b. Hell, you could fit a train through that hole.
