Name: Doctor Malleus.
Profession: Researcher for the royal medical hypothetical discoveries.
Date: 25th of Gelia 2059 A.A (After Alicorns.)
Subject: a single cell found in the frozen north 2000 Km from the disappeared Crystal Empire.
We discovered a cell inside a glacier 400 meters in depth. The discovery was made possible thanks to an earthquake that opened the ice enough for us to scan it. The priority of the research wasn’t to find that cell, but we were searching for the Empire. Anyway, we found it and took with us at the Canterlot G.E.N.E. (Genetic. Engineering. Neverdawn. Establishment.) for studying purposes. End log.

Profession: Head researcher for project 'Perfection'.
Date: 1st of Froste 2060 A.A
Subject: A single cell found in the north by Doctor Malleus.
Fascinating, the cell is responding to our stimuli. The cell eats and multiplies at an astounding rate, we tried to insert a colony of harmful bacteria into the petri dish of Perfection. It killed and ate every single external bacteria, even extremely harmful ones.
Two days after the second addition. An accident happened, a researcher tried to touch a part of Perfection, the cell was at that time as big as a pony hand. The blob of red and black substance was fairly uninterested with our experiments and didn't show any sign of sentient. Until that researcher tried to touch it without protection, Perfection grabbed the researcher's finger then it wrapped itself around its hand and broke it with an audible crack. When the security finally removed Perfection the researcher's hand was gone. We saw Perfection play with their hand and almost taunting us like as to say 'Try to do that again, and a hand won't be the last thing that I will detach from you.' Then it devoured it and grew again in size. Project Perfection was renamed project Hunter, with only one specimen subject 000.

Profession: Head researcher for project 'Hunter'.
Date 1st of Froste 2061 A.A.
Subject: Subject 000, project Hunter.
The growth of Subject 000 is incomparable to any other living organism, the possibilities are infinite. If we can replicate its D.N.A. we will create invincible soldiers and perfect creatures.
I'll ask at her majesty for more funds at the next meeting.
Two days have passed after the meeting and her majesty approved my request for more funds, Subject 000 is growing more and more and now resemble a fetus, more and more interesting indeed.
We put subject 000 in a containment and growing tank where we can study it and make it grow at the same time.

Name: Doctor Becker.
Profession: Head researcher of project 'Hunter'
Date: 15th of Solstitium 2061 A.A.
We detected an abnormal spike of thaumic energy inside subject 000's tank, we don't know what caused it but our sensors went into overdrive and we needed to repair them. After that, the magical abilities of subject 000 grew exponentially obliging us to use instrument far more powerful than before. The instruments will be all tared to the Gigathaums (106 Thaums) Without alerting anypony in order to avoid panic.
Subject 000 is still growing, it's now as big as a foal, approximately 80 cm, but it doesn't resemble a pony at all, more information can be found in its personal report. We did a field test to see how powerful it is against full armored ponies. The guard chosen for this job was corporal Air Strike, the test started and the corporal attacked Hunter immediately. Hunter didn't dodge and let itself be pierced by the lance, the lance embedded inside its eye but it didn't twitch at all, the suddenly it grabbed the spear with a hand and broke it in half, it grabbed the half still in corporal's hands and yanked him towards itself. Then Hunter opened its mouth to an impossible width and bit off Air Strike's arm in a second. Air Strike screamed and called for the test to end, the guards were rushing inside to stop Hunter but they were too late, Hunter grabbed Air Strike by its neck, stretching its arm doing so and bit off his head, then it devoured the entire body without leaving a trace. The guards entered and followed protocol, at least 10 m of distance between them and Hunter, unfortunately, Air strike's wife, Juice Hoof was also present and charged Hunter. Hunter grabbed the incoming lance at an outstanding speed and used it to open Juice Hoof's belly making her internal organs leaks out. Hunter then beheaded her too and devoured her, but somehow we could still hear her screams from inside Hunter.
All in all that day was incredibly good and we made giant leaps to understand Hunter abilities and behavior.
