Long ago my brother came into the possession of two savage beasts that would accompany him through his declining state to unrecoverable misery. Spawned from the very weighted guilt that painfully scarred him since that forsaken era he would find an insalubrious outcome with these two beasts. He would be comforted by the voices of our fallen brothers & sisters as they spoke to him, however this aural illusion would also be his self inflicted torture as he remained trapped & imprisoned by the voices of the family he claims to have failed…
— Grimoire passage from the Tapster
HABITAT RANGE
Currently the whereabouts of the Beowulf is kept under strict containment underneath a US military base in the Nevadan desert, where its existence remains concealed to the public eye, in exception to King Cole & the 051 Council. It alongside various artefacts, weapons, creatures & even that may or may not have been involved with the Horsemen. HMI, II & III star as the main assets of the facility in which are interviewed & interrogated with the work they’ve created as well as pressing on the whereabouts of HMIV.
051 council are responsible for the covert inner workings of this containment facility in which several Paladins & Magicians occupy to serve containment protocols of the assets inside, amongst the many assets being the Beowulf. Inside the Beowulf is kept within a containment stronghold reinforced with concrete in which it is both negatively pressurised & environmentally regulated, observation windows are laminated with ballistic glass. The humidity of the containment structure is maintained at 100% capacity in which the temperature remains at 15°C, the Beowulf is observed & monitored 24/7 using infrared cameras.
ECOLOGICAL NICHE
Alongside many other beasts of the Nevadan containment facility the Beowulf is an Alchemical Behemoth identified as a Thaumaturgical class organism (TCO). Alongside the Tarasque, the Nevermore & many other freakish experiments the Beowulf was genetically & mystically engineered by the horseman War as a means to exercise his hands for conflict.
In an interview with HMIII the Beowulves were actually created as a means to cope with loss & rehabilitate from a forlorn depression he kept bottled several years since the erasure era. Their primary function were to archive the voices of the family as well as the clan he lost to since then, however the voices imprisoned the Horseman in a self proclaimed guilt that he eventually fed into inevitably falling into a darkness that remained within.
Though As an experimental homunculi the Beowulf pair are the embodiment of HMIIIs regret towards the clan he failed to aid in which in theory he has successfully shed & contained it into an organism of a canid decent.
Currently there are six Beowulves held in containment all of which are kept under surveillance as well as trained by staff sergeant Whittaker & a team of entrusted military officers who follow on his command. The Beowulves under containment are named Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo & Foxtrot, all of which are a litter of sextuplets from former parents Papa & Sierra before their initial termination upon an attempted escape sometime during the year 12 post Resurgence. A protocol was initiated to use the litter in the purposes of governmental military operations as biological weapons, training these Behemoths as obedient war dogs.
Though at first he ran with merely a grain of salt with this protocol Staff sergeant Whittaker remains steadfast to the commands of the higher order of EarthGOV, where he would depend on a far fetched theory that the domestication of wolves maybe synonymous to bend the Beowulf litter to ‘cooperation’.
So far within the span of 7 months the only enlightening progress that was made on the pups upon reaching their adolescent stage of their growth they’ve learnt to respond to both visual & audio cues without the possibility of aggressive behavioural fluxes towards the staff sergeant nor his assisting handlers. Exploiting their unique characteristics such as their heightened sense of smell, within due time the pups were trained to respond to an experimental device known as the Entity Lock Mechanism, or the ELM. The ELM is a laser-coded targeting system resembling a Penlight that upon first click points a red laser the Beowulves instinctively respond to, drowning all other distractions in which their prior focus is solely dependent on what’s at the end of the laser. Double clicking the ELM would then emit a specialised frequency that drives the adolescent behemoths into a bewildered frenzy causing the pups to attack, originally this frequency was used to pacify assets Papa & Sierra however it instead aggravated the pair transforming them further into bloodthirsty killers. However the ELM was made to focus that frenzied rage upon a target chosen by the devices possessor through that accompanied laser, within due process as well as reaching adulthood the Beowulves to would be used to track and incapacitate prey in complex environments at the command of their human handler. This would be speculated to be used as a means of dealing with hostile Neofauna, hostile tonic consumers & even Oathbreakers.
BIOLOGICAL ADAPTATIONS
The consciousness of the Beowulf is distributed into other Beowulves contained within the Nevadan Holding facility, functioning as an advanced hive mentality. Rather than behaving as a pack like Wolves or Dogs the Beowulf functions more akin to eusocial species much like Ants or Bees in which its shared collective mind work autonomously, synchronising the packs actions in which it moves & acts as if it’s a singular organism.
It had been speculated that the external organelles of Beowulf, located on the sides of its neck, distributes a form of external neurological networking that enables the Behemoth to interconnect with other members of its kin much like a psychic link, this grouping is come to be known as a cluster. The bond between the Beowulves within a cluster builds up over time since birth, to the point where members of the cluster can share skills, memories & knowledge in theory is long range communications had advanced into a form of speculative telepathy with other Beowulves, however this often seem by outside observers by chattering & chuffing towards nothing.
The connection of a Beowulf cluster over time is speculated to become incredibly intuitive the moment they reach sub adult growth, where they would even function on a subconscious level, to the point where a singular Beowulf who finds themselves in emotional turmoil will often instinctively call upon and share with members of their cluster who can offer a perspective or a learnt skill experienced individually that can assist them.
In conjunction to its origins of origins Beowulves possess a a highly specialised syringeal muscles located in their throat, enabling them to mimic vocalisations broadcasted by other organisms. Upon utilising this mimicry the throat sac of the Beowulf begins to glow a faint white light indicating traces of thaumaturgic influence at play in which the behemoth would almost flawlessly imitate human speech. However one shouldn’t be fooled by the words uttered as they are merely parroted by the beast upon observing other human personnel. As pups the 6/6 litter would merely mimic words used by their Handler in the form of overused verbal commands such as sitting, laying & halting, but have been known to copy short phrases used by scientists, janitorial personnel or soldiers who are tasked to survey the litter, uttering phrases such as “Oh it’s you” by staff sergeant Whittaker due to confusion of revolving scientists shifting rosters or “Is someone there?” by the Janitor Garcia Vasquez upon working the overtime roster as protocol to introduce for the sake of hindsight rather than barge in without correct clearance where inevitably leading to employee occupancy termination. Papa & Juliet are the most intriguing demonstrators of this unique ability before their unfortunate termination as they instinctively use the voices of both military & scientist personnel of level III clearance & above to not only deceive other staff by manifesting a series of combined phrases from their kills but also voice activated security systems where they were able to access locked doors & deactivate defensive turret weaponry. If it weren’t for the swift actions of the elite mobile task force Neo Earth could be dealing with an ecological & humanitarian disaster that would set them back to day 0.
BEHAVIOUR
Because Beowulves have demonstrated to be highly intelligent in which they exploit to be extremely cunning the facility requires the task force in charge of these Behemoths to be monitored with absolute & unadulterated scrutiny. Utilising powerful methods of ambush & misdirection prey is easily fooled in droves if protocols against these creatures aren’t met. Beowulves are renown to become extremely hostile towards anything in their line of vision when exposed to the white noise frequency emitted by the ELM, that is if the target isn’t focused.
