Coastal Communities Terrorized
May 21, 2280
Report by: Victor Lumsden, NWSEC Field Office - Roma Prov
Coastal communities surrounding the Mediterranean sea have begun flooding the NWSEC with reports of attacks by monstrous crab-like creatures venturing onto land in the dead of night.
The Barcelona Reconstruction Commune was the first community to report attacks, but towns and villages as far east as the Isle of Cyprus have come under attack suggesting the entire Mediterranean has become home to a new species of aquatic predator able to and unafraid of venturing onto land in search of food.
Initial reports describe the beasts as "cattle-sized" black crabs which raced across land as quickly as horses. Recent reports have suggested the creatures have powerful tentacles beneath their head, a soft squid-like under-body and flexible tail.
The monsters have claimed thousands of large livestock, attacking in the dark of night with gigantic claws able to crush their prey with ease. So far human casualties have been limited but survivors claim the creatures are unafraid and incredibly durable. Some claim they are sensitive to light although no conclusive evidence supports this.
The NWSEC asks anyone with photos or video of the creatures to please contact us.
