Item Number: CRP-8309, Giant Flightless Bird

Danger Level: Troublesome

Restraining Directives: CRP-8309 is to be contained in an enclosure no different than that of any regular zoo. It is preferred that the enclosure is rich with vegetation and is monitored by staff who are well-trained and patient enough to handle the demands of the creature.

Description: CRP-8309 is a large flightless bird heavily reminiscent to the Oviraptor, an extinct dinosaur from the late Cretaceous era. Adult males of this species can stand up to 7 feet in height and weigh 250 lbs while females are a mere foot shorter and weigh significantly less at 230 lbs. Males are distinguishable from females as they possess bright-blue Mohawks which are typically unveiled to impress females though have also been used to ward off other males as well as intruders; females lack this feature. Due to being flightless, CRP-8309 lack conventional feathers and instead have a quilt similar to that of a Cassowary, albeit with a grey tone and much smoother texture.

CRP-8309 are omnivorous and often prefer consuming fruits though they have been known to consume the eggs of other animals and, in some instances, have been seen torturing newborn animals before picking them up and swallowing them. They don't attack animals and violent encounters with humans are rare though can occur if provoked or during mating season.

CRP-8309 live within steep jungles and rain-forests though are surprisingly quick to adapt to any sort of forest environment as long as they have access to fruit in plentiful amounts. However, due to their massive appetites, they have gained a bad reputation for sweeping crops clean and then migrating to another location to do it again.

CRP-8309 are also notorious for their verbal belligerence as they often tend talk back to humans in much the same way they would to other males and sometimes females. Due to their intelligence, they are very quick to pick up on human behavior even to the point of mimicking it. Should one encounter CRP-8309, it is best to avoid their
hostile ways as engaging in combat will prove to be a fatal decision.

Further Information: CRP-8309 have often been found in colonies in the remote parts of Vietnam and Laos, similar in structure to ancient human tribes. This is likely due to these creatures mimicking the ways of still-existing tribes and using these skills to infiltrate and overwhelm them. Any sightings of CRP-8309 are to be taken seriously as these creatures have been confirmed to vandalize properties, commit robberies and even in one extreme instance, take victims hostage due to their powerful learning capabilities. Ignoring their challenges is often advised to civilians as they are not known to persist unless if fought prior.

Item Number: CRP-0427

Danger Level: Off-Putting

Restraining Directives: CRP-0427 is kept in a folder named "New Folder (27)" on computer terminal JJ-10 in CRP computer lab ███-████. It is to be displayed on a monitor at all times.

Description: CRP-0427 is a PNG format image file depicting various stock images of objects and models. The image depicted by CRP-0427 changes on occasion, seeming to follow a course of events set in a separate "world" within the image file itself. For example, CRP-0427 may depict a single bowl of cereal on a white backdrop in the morning. It may then switch to two smiling young women enjoying lunch at a country club by noon. Images are static and do not move, however the image will alter itself when it isn't being watched. CRP-0427 has been noted to change during the span of a blink.

Human beings depicted by CRP-0427 change randomly, and at this time it is not known if they ever appear more than once. Objects, on the other hand, repeat often. In fact, multiple copy/paste-style instances of the same object may appear in the same scenario. Models and objects always appear to be poorly edited together with little to no visible attempt at making the scenes appear natural.

When CRP-0427 is closed for any reason, its "inhabitants" become enraged and will be depicted in an agitated state when the image file is re-opened. Minor discontent may be expressed by a single model looking toward the viewer with a displeased expression. The longer the file is closed, however, the more models appear in a gradually increased state of outrage. Power outages and system crashes are (quite unfairly) treated the same as a purposeful closing of the file.

CRP-0427 was downloaded from [REDACTED].com for use in a CRP Institute newsletter. When its anomalous properties were discovered, white hat hackers associated with CRP permanently removed it from the website. The only known instance of this file is now in CRP custody.

Screenshots and photos of CRP-0427 do not display any anomalous properties.

Item Number: CRP-0024

Danger Level: Pretty Bad

Restraining Directives: Object is to be kept on the shelf of inappropriate literature in containment library 12-C.

Description: This is a small flip-book with "FLIP-OUT FRANK" emblazoned on the cover in red, scratchy lettering. When flipping the book back-to-front (as is standard), animated scenes of a round little man in a business suit will appear. The scenario changes between uses, but all center on this small man, presumed to be "Frank", suffering some sort of unpleasant event. This includes scenes such as a broken-down car, a lost wallet, and a blow to the head from a falling flower pot. After each event, "Frank" will thrash on the ground. Flipping the book backward (the incorrect manner) appears to reveal a separate animation to the user, which cannot be perceived by anyone not holding the book. After the animation has concluded, the user exclaims "Poor Frank!" and immediately collapses to floor, thrashing wildly before slipping into a comatose state.

Further Information:  The follow entries provide a brief example of story lines that have been recorded by researchers. Backward story lines seemingly cannot be explained by the user, and needless to say they cannot be described when the user is comatose.

Researcher: Dr. P.M. Wibbles
Story Title: "Let Me Bee Frank"
Plot: Frank wants honey for his toast. Finding none in the kitchen, he proceeds to harass a bee's nest. He is stung several times before falling to the ground and thrashing in apparent agony.

Researcher: Dr. H.M. Krimpet
Story Title: "Frank's On Empty"
Plot: Frank runs out of gas in a small desert town and is violently beaten by mutant rednecks. He is doused with gasoline, set on fire, and left thrashing in apparent agony.

Researcher: Dr. L.L. Lullaby
Story Title: "Frank and Stein"
Plot: Frank orders a beer at a bar, and is served a poisonous chemical by a mad scientist bartender. He vomits repeatedly, then falls onto the floor and thrashes in apparent agony.

Researcher: Dr. O.S. Chambermail
Story Title: "Happy Franksgiving"
Plot: Frank joins a group of characters, presumed to be his family, for a traditional Thanksgiving holiday dinner. After he is surprised to find no food is being served, Frank is struck on the head with a meat tenderizer. He wakes up on the table, as a prepared turkey with a human head. He thrashes in apparent agony as he is carved.

Testing with pages torn or cut out of the book is pending approval.

Item Number: CRP-3489, Sentient Fuzzy Balls

Danger Level: Moderate

Restraining Directives: CRP-3489 are to be kept contained within small titanium boxes. Cardboard and plastic are not recommended as they often break out easily from holes or simply removing the lid with force.

Description: CRP-3489 are an unidentified species of fungus which assume the form of a ball-shaped mass completely covered in fur. They are not dangerous upon skin contact though the texture can range from soft to rough - research suggests this is due to dietary habits.

CRP-3489 are omnivorous organisms that primarily feed on crops and carrion. However, reports of these creatures feeding on human remains have surfaced in the past, including incidents in which they have killed and devoured live prey, such as pets and livestock. However, these reports lack sufficient evidence and most live experiments have confirmed CRP-3489 to be fairly docile.

CRP-3489's main method of transportation is by simply rolling to a particular destination and consuming whatever food source there is to be found. They are also known to climb trees, though these sightings are more common in woodland areas. CRP-3489 have also been found to avoid large bodies of water and often prefer absorbing the liquid through lettuce, which they consume very often.

CRP-3489 are asexual and are known to lay approximately 200 eggs which hatch at any given moment; their offspring grow at an extremely fast rate as they tend to reach sexual maturity after only a week. Due to this, they are labelled as an invasive species.

Further Information: CRP-3489 are often imported illegally from various islands in New Guinea. The best solution is to spray any cargo with pesticide. In addition, CRP-3489 bare a strong resemblance to fuzzy pom-pom key-chains. The best way to tell them apart is to make sure if the key-chain not only has a chain but also if it doesn't move.
