TICK
RECOVERED VISUAL EVIDENCE
VISUAL FRAGMENT MISSING.
WARD REVIEW NOTE:
No verified field image is attached to this creature file.
Another creature report with nothing I can pin to the board.
Bring back clear visual evidence and I may finally call one of these sightings confirmed.
KNOWN ACTIVITY SUMMARY:
Sightings report slow-moving parasites attaching to targets and expanding as blood is stored. Movement is minimal until proximity is reached. Engagement is direct and sustained.
CONTACT / THREAT ASSESSMENT:
The storage behavior is predictable. What is less predictable is how long they remain attached without interruption. Multiple reports confirm extended duration beyond expected limits. It does not vary. That consistency is notable. Ward, Foundation Records
