'The Monster'

"'Restrain the beast! We can’t let him escape!”""—The hooded men, speaking after 'the monster' escapes from its restraints"'The Monster' is a mysterious creature who first appeared in Chapter 0 of Case 0: New Years, New Fears. It is quick to anger and holds great strength, often seen destroying everything in its path.

Chapter 1: Best Friend Wanted
'The monster' was first seen restrained in a mystical abandoned hospital. It was being held in the same room as Pongo the Dalmatian, who Garrett Buss was looking for. When Garrett entered to rescue Pongo, 'the monster' went mad, breaking out of its restraints. A group of hooded men appeared and attempted to bring it back down, but their attempts failed. 'The monster' chased after Garrett, who escaped just before it could catch him.

Chapter 0: Prologue
'The monster' again appeared, this time in New York City. In a role reversal, 'the monster' was instead being chased by Garrett Buss, not the other way around. Garrett was also accompanied by his best friend, Jordan Pilkenton. This was also when Gabe Cortes was first introduced to the beast.
