Entity - 016-3 upon Discovery Green Variant

Description: Entity 016 is a red humanoid entity possessing superhuman speed and agility, being able to move 0.9 meters per second. It does not appear to eat or sleep, remaining constantly active throughout the entire day. In the wild, Entity 016 will attack anything in close proximity, resulting in an 80% fatality rate to those that come close. Entity 016 will then produce a red substance from its mouth and cover the corpse of the subject with it, creating an Entity 016-1 instance.

Entity 016-1 will take on the appearance of an initial Entity 016 victim, with the exception of an altered, dark-red skin tone. From tests performed on Entity 016-1 instances, it is significantly easier to inflict damage upon them. Entity 016-1 can also create new instances of Entity 016-1 if given a subject to interact with, increasing the spread of Entity 016's effect at an exceptional level. Upon the death of an Entity 016-1 instance, a loud crackling sound similar to the consistency of glass is produced. The Entity will then fall to the floor and turn to ash before disappearing entirely.

Entity 016-1 are extremely vulnerable to other entities and can be killed by means of Entity 002.

Discovery of a cave system filled with instances of E-016-1 lead to an Exploration Event on 12/23/████. This cave has been marked by The Administrator as E-016-2. Rusted chairs, research tables, and broken sinks spread throughout the underground of E-016-2 suggests it be an █████████ ███████ ██████ ███████ ██ ████ ████████████ ██ ████████ ████ ██ ███ █████████ ████ ████ ████████ ██ ████ ███████ ██ ███████ Class-X Overwatch refused to give insight on what it was used for, stating they simply do not know.
