Case File IND-898 CRYPTID NO.049 - BEAST OF BUSCO

FIRST CONTACT - MAY-12-1898 - Reports of excessive damage to multiple farms throughout North East Indiana saw Taskforce REDACTED dispatched into the area. Taskforce REDACTED were quickly eliminated seeing REDACTED deployed to the area where we received our first intel on the giant Snapper. Creature was taken out REDACTED hours after deployment of REDACTED

ABILITIES - Beast of Busco or "Snappers" as they are often referred to have hide thicker and more flexible than Kevlar making them immune to most standard fire arms and non breaching melee weapons. They are also covered in rough skin, spikes, and spine to make charging even more deadly than it already is at its size. It's tail resembles that of a Stegosaurus giving it an increased range with it's spines. IND-898s class have been noted to rip through standard body armour with no issue. To make it all worse the creature has a powerful Breath Weapon where it pressurises and boils water in it's stomach and can fire it up to REDACTED. We relate IND-898 mostly to a Snapping turtle, but while it is on all fours it can charge at speeds rivaling a small car and when it goes bipedal it becomes stationary almost grounding itself to make it's hits harder.

THREAT LEVEL - 7/10 - IND-898 are incredibly tough and versatile creatures. Their array of different defenses and attacks make them particularly hard to dispatch and have proven to be a challenge for regular troops. Where IND-898 starts to falter is with it's intelligence. Unlike SQU-001 or MIC-019 these creatures show to be no more intelligent than a normal Snapping Turtle and have not shown any signs of having Higher Intelligence. The attacks from these creatures come from their aggressive nature and seemingly nothing further.

This concludes our report on IND-898
