Puppets are hostile anomalous entities originating from an unidentified external dimension. Their point of origin remains unknown; however, recorded instances indicate they are capable of entering this realm through localized tears in spacetime.
Manifestations most commonly occur during Anomaly Events, when interdimensional instability is elevated. Puppets exhibit aggressive behavior upon emergence and will actively pursue nearby personnel or civilians.
After incapacitating a victim, a Puppet will make direct contact with the individual’s forehead, inducing a trancelike, non-responsive state. Following an undocumented transformation process, affected individuals may be converted into new Puppets.
Immediate containment or neutralization is strongly advised. Personnel are warned not to engage alone and to report any suspected exposure without delay.
