Peccary
DESIGNATION: Crucis (AG/IN/PY) CONTAINMENT PROTOCOLS: Any containment space for IS-0178-A specimens must measure no more than 3x3m square, ensuring the subject is unable to attain a velocity greater than 5m/s. All walls and flooring should be reinforced to GISP standards for blast shielding and be electrically grounded to 2MV. Subjects must be contained separately, and fed remotely.
Colloquially dubbed a 'Peccary', IS-0178 is a quadrupedal predator that uses psionic energy to hunt its prey. Preliminary research suggests that these abilities are much 'higher wattage' here in our own universe, where energy concentrations are comparatively higher, than the severely entropic Anteverse II, which is its home.
In experimenting with the Peccary, Dr. Manbanko taught one of the creatures, which he dubbed 'Gregory', to perform a variety of simple tasks. These included fetching balls, responding to repeated verbal commands, and tapping its hooves in time to a range of music. The means by which he controlled its behavior relied principally on food rewards, electric shock penalties, and exploiting its marked preference for Swedish drone metal music. When played, the creature became extremely docile, and its task retention rate multiplied significantly. Dr. Manbanko is in agreement with Dr. Kale's theory that IS-0178-A's rapid learning is - at least in part - 'symptomatic' of the high entopy delta between our universe and Anteverse 2. In Dr. Manbanko's words, everything here happens for them 'faster and more furiously'.
