[DESCRIPTION]
KAC-5011 was a towering, skeletal humanoid entity measuring approximately 7.3 meters in height. Its body structure consisted of elongated limbs, rib-like protrusions, and a perpetual gaping cavity in its chest where a heart would normally exist. This cavity was filled with a swirling, black miasma resembling smoke shot through with crimson streaks. KAC-5011's face was mask-like, possessing no eyes—only vertical slits that endlessly wept a corrosive red substance.
Its defining feature was its voice: a low, layered whisper that implanted compulsive hunger into any sentient being within a 40-kilometer radius.
Victims would experience:
- Uncontrollable appetite
- Destructive cravings for anything (food, soil, stone, flesh)
- Loss of rational thought
- Eventual bodily collapse due to internal overexertion
KAC-5011 did not consume prey in a physical manner. Instead, it fed on the desperation and suffering created by its induced hunger, absorbing the emotional and metaphysical residue ("Want") into its chest cavity. Analysis suggests KAC-5011 was a parasitic metaphysical organism, thriving in collapsing or dying worlds. Its presence accelerated planetary decay and sociocultural collapse unlike how KAC-1954 (designated Kaijus) destroyed them.

[BEHAVIOUR]
KAC-5011 exhibited unwavering malevolent intent. Its movements were slow but deliberate, demonstrating high intelligence. Observed behaviors included:
- Whispering to individuals in their sleep across vast distances
- Appearing at sites of famine, war, or societal starvation
- Targeting emotionally fragile populations
- Inducing mass hysteria and cannibalistic outbreaks
- Absorbing "Want" energy to increase its physical size and power.
The entity displayed a predatory patience—allowing populations to unravel psychologically before manifesting physically to absorb the accumulated despair.
When directly confronted, KAC-5011 employed an ability known as "Devouring Radius", causing all biological organisms within 100 meters to experience catastrophic cellular collapse where their bodies reduced to dust which the entity inhaled.

[CONTAINMENT ATTEMPT]
KAC forces attempted containment on numerous occasions. All failed, resulting in the loss of Site-██ and adjacent civilian zones. During Incident ██████, the entity breached the global defensive perimeter and began draining the life force of 58 million individuals. Neutralization seemed impossible until the sudden manifestation of another entity halted it's attack.

[FINAL NEUTRALIZATION]
At 04:22 GMT, an unknown entity that looked like a shepherd, manifested beside KAC-5011 during its feeding. Visual footage shows the entity placing a hand upon KAC-5011's chest cavity.
Within 0.7 seconds, KAC-5011 ceased movement and it's form began to disintegrate into a fine grey ash. The ash collapsed inward and vanished entirely All hunger compulsion in affected populations stopped instantly.
Post-event scans indicate no trace of KAC-5011 remains in any physical or metaphysical substrate.
The unknown entity (now designated as KAC-721: The Ashen Shepherd), vanished immediately after neutralization.

[NOTES BY Field Specialist Armitage]
"Here's the part that worries me: we knew everything about KAC-5011, but almost nothing about the thing that killed it. Entities that can end concepts don't appear without reason. Something else is coming."
