DESCRIPTION: Automaton Birds are 12 ft tall, mechanical, bipedal creatures, with a body visually similar to an engine and a face similar to that of an elongated triangular pyramid. Most Automaton Birds are grey-toned in coloration, although those appearing in LvL 27 can sometimes sport bright red racing stripes. Automaton Birds, though appearing passive at first, will get incredibly hostile if it senses a moving heat signature near 98.6°F (37°C) or above. Upon sensing, it will stop at no end to chase down and destroy said source of heat, even if the heat signature stops moving. Automaton Birds are incredibly territorial and will battle each other for territory, seemingly for no reason. We are unsure if these beings are biological. If so we have yet to see how they reproduce. We do know however that they will hoard heaps of metal and fashion them into nests, despite the fact we have never seen one sleep.  It has been theorized that, if mechanical in source, these Automaton Birds were made and programmed to guard something.  ABILITIES: These creatures are incredibly fast, incredibly tall, and incredibly heavy. The fastest individual recorded amped up to speeds of 89 mph but the average speed of these automatons are 40-60 mph at their highest and 5-20 mph at their slowest. Their ‘beaks’ are made of a dense but sharp metal, capable of cleanly piercing through 30 in. thick stainless steel. Their main method of attack is a charged joust, where they will attempt to stab their opponent at high speeds, and if they miss they will turn around and attempt again. Their necks are flexible and are capable of turning a full 360°, allowing them to poke and stab from many different angles.  Even if you manage to damage its beak, the sheer weight and force of the entity slamming into you is enough to crush the average object’s bones. (Tests with Algebriens have yet to commence.) The best method of surviving this entity is by using its height to your advantage. When crouching, the creature is usually 9 ft tall, and cannot get entirely through most door-sized gaps. PROCEDURES TO TAKE: Most entities exist in areas with tall ceilings and as a result are contained in said areas. They are to be avoided at all costs. If you need to dispatch one, aim for the legs; if it cannot run, it cannot fight. END_LOG.

DESCRIPTION: Tallhounds seem to be tall, lanky canid-like beings. They come in a variety of colors. All sport a velvety, minky-fabric like coat, save for the tail that sports longer fur. Very few have been known to have markings. Most colors of these beings are monochromatic. Despite their name, Tallhounds do not seem to be actual canines. They more accurately are closer to an insect megafauna, sporting a thick exoskeleton right under their layer of 'skin' and 'fur'. The purpose of their 'skin' is unknown. Tallhounds behave like dogs. Due to seemingly no natural predators, they do not fear objectkind or otherwise. They are friendly and social creatures, often grouping together in packs of 3-7. They communicate in high-pitched squeaks. Whether Tallhounds come from Liminal Space or from some other dimension is unknown. These creatures reproduce via laying eggs. ABILITIES: Tallhounds are able to produce an ear splitting screech as a form of self defense. Besides this, they have sharp mandibles capable of a nasty bite. If one is provoked it will not hesitate to attack. If others are nearby and see it get provoked, the other pack members will attack the aggressor. PROCEDURES TO TAKE: When in contact with these creatures, do not attack. Stay calm and stay in one place. If they sniff you, allow them to. They will eventually pass by. It is plausible to domesticate these creatures. Any attempt to do so has not been made however. They largely pose no threat to our operations. END_LOG.
