The creature had been discovered at the site of a meteor strike. A possible meteor and explosion had been reported so a team of scientists had been sent in to examine the crater. When they arrive they saw a roughly 20 foot by 20 foot size crater and nothing left of the meteor. Dr Johnson was looking around when they saw a small green blob a few feet away from the crash site. It was small maybe 1 foot around just sitting in the grass. As he approached it, it suddenly lunged at him wrapping around his leg.
One of the other team members sprayed it with a cold substance similar to what is found in fire extinguishers which caused the creature to let go and slither away. They captured it in a sealed container and brought it back to the lab.
Dr Johnson did not seem to be harmed in any way. The only thing anyone noticed was it seemed to have started to dissolve the clothing it had come in to contact with but they gave him a full physical to check for any other issues or injuries and everything seemed fine. Only thing that seemed odd was after the creature had been removed from him he had noticed he had a full erection which he didn't mention to his colleagues.
As the weeks went by they studied the creature but could not figure out much. They came to the conclusion that it seemed to be attracted to body heat as it would cling to the glass at any point someone touched the container. they would put some organic matter in there with it like a lab rat, it would seem to investigate but not harm it. It would wrap around the lower body leaving it able to breath but didn't seem to do anything noticeable to it. When they would remove the rodent it always appeared to be asleep but not harmed. It would dissolve cloth or clothing but did not seem the be harmful to skin. Other than that there wasn't much more they knew. It had similar properties to an amoeba and didn't seem to react or try to bond with any other material or liquid. It only seemed to be attracted to living things but they didn't understand why.
