Troglodytes

The invetorisation of the scientific collection part 7 the Vaults

The trogloditian subject I recovered in one of the vaults seems dead and yet I swear I saw it move when I opened the vault the first time. Notes from the previous wardenleft me with more curiosity. He wrote that the subject participated in series of research experiments. For example I found the missing talon on his left hind leg when they tried it's regeneration abilities. According to the notes it has been undergoing last examination on possible starvation period when I discovered it. According to the notes it stood in the unchanged possition I discovered it in for the last 35 years with no food. Autopsies of similar individuals were conclusive in finding supporting scaly structures in it's legs. Proving that the individual doesn't require active effort to stand or to support his body. According to old records the subject is in the possession of the scientific comunity of the Trademan's court for the last 45 years aquired from a slideshow artist group who according to their statements got it from an old miner which tortured it for previous 50 years. The slideshow showed the creature for 3 years before selling it to the comunity here at the Trademan's court. Which puts the age of this particular individual on minimum of 89 years. Every relevant exam was already done on the creature. That is why I decided ot leave the creature to starve for further investigation of its limits in this regards.
