CASE FILE MN-AN-010: TETHERLING MONSTER
Plane of Association: Germinal
Zone of Origin: Zephyr Vale (Northern Verge)
Last Known Location: Perimeter of Wayrest Outpost
Containment Status: Uncontained (Affection-Seeking)
Known Behaviors
Tetherling Monster is a soft-bodied anomaly covered in dense, multicolored fur and adorned with lighted antennae. Its form includes seven large, constantly blinking eyes that follow motion independently. Subject expresses consistent desire to follow Bureau agents, offering gentle purring, vocal trills, and large physical presence as signs of trust. Despite this, agents universally react with panic, nausea, or uncontrollable dread. This is now believed to be due to an involuntary fear pheromone emitted by the subject in close quarters, triggering primal responses in nearby personnel.
Field Notes

- — Antennae flicker in rhythmic pulses matching subject's emotional state.
- — “It hugged me. Like, full wraparound. I couldn’t move. It was warm. And I was sobbing. From terror. But it was... sweet?” — Agent Lorrie, Recovery Log 02
