Beast of Montauk
Monstrom Montauakus
Monstrom montaukus was first discovered on a beach in Montauk,
NY on July, 2008 (hence, the name). Originally,
“experts” suggested the remains were that of a hairless
raccoon or a shell-less sea turtle. Close examination disproved
these theories. The Beast of Montauk is actually an aquatic
animal/bird hybrid, genetically related to the platypus. Like the
platypus, Montaukus has electro-receptors. These electro-receptors,
unlike those of the platypus, are found all over the beast’s
body and can broadcast--creating a strong electromagnetic field.
This field works as a highly effective means of camouflage and,
when the creature is threatened, a painful stunning attack.
Fortunately, as long as the Beast of Montauk remains in the
containment unit, its electromagnetic field is dampened and
visitors are completely safe.
The Temporal-Dimensional Cryptid Containment Units, patterned
after technology first created and used by the Ghostbusters (in
nearby New York City), are capable of holding creatures of any
shape and size. While the T-D Cryptid Containment Units appear to
be small rectangular metal boxes (remarkably similar to .30 cal
ammo cans) on the outside, they are actually much larger on the
inside. This allows each cryptid to have enough space to live in a
simulated natural environment while keeping them safely
sequestered. People outside the T-D C.C.U. may observe the cryptid
within by simply (carefully) opening the unit and peering inside.
(Do not enter or otherwise disturb the temporal-dimensional field
of the unit, lest the creature escape back into the wild.)
We hope you enjoy your time at the Cryptozoological Capture and
Containment Center. Our founder and director, Doc Drake Branta,
brought these creatures to the upstate New York, where he grew up.
Doc Drake Branta can most often be found at one of the T-D
Containment Units, studying the creatures and hoping to find new
ways their secrets can help the whole of humanity.
