The entire idea behind evolution is that creatures will naturally evolve based on their surroundings

and situations over many generations in order to best be suited for survival and reproduction in their surroundings.

Examples include giraffes, developing longer necks in order to reach taller leaves,

Although it prefers these areas due to food availability, it remains outside of beaten paths, moving through dark and enclosed areas such as back alleys,

The entity's exact size is unclear, with measurements taken through captured footage,

estimating a length between 2.1 and 2.3 meters.

As with non-anomalous species of its kind, it possesses poor eyesight, oversized teeth, and
