Sp.21 "Tiorma"

The last clone of Shimmy, the great genetic flexibility of the original body has this time given us a specimen with astounding properties. 
It has to be said that her biological development stopped after a certain stage while her skull was not fully formed. Without human intervention, it would have died as soon as it was released. On the other hand, its brain is complete and her abilities have yet to be determined, although we do have a lead.
Her typical overgrown head is embedded in a half-sphere made of rigid polymers in the shape of a gas mask, which is connected to her organs. In the absence of a mouth, snout or nostrils, this mask filters the air and provides an inlet for food via a retractable catheter.

It has to be noted that she has no sense of smell or vision, as its biological development did not allow the formation of the front half of her skull, which unfortunately houses a number of senses. She's completely blind but not deaf, and it is through sounds that she grasps her environment. But this is no easy task, as her horns are fragile and two of them are particularly brittle and have deteriorated rapidly. 
The red eyes on her mask are purely decorative but they also contribute to the psychological impact of such a creation.

She is totaly inert and seems to sit still all day, without changing stance. She reacts slowly to external stimuli by turning her head towards the source but does not provide any further reaction. In fact, she seems to have freed herself from the constraint of being fed. Blood tests showed that her metabolic rates did not vary whether she was fed or not, as if her body simply ignored nutrients. We don't know yet if she has no need for food or if it's a fondamental anomaly that may lead to a slow decay and eventually death.

She appears to be absolutely harmless, or at least toward humans.
Any endemic creature, sentient on the top of that, should not come close to Tiorma. Feedback reports an extremely intense psychological shock for the person approaching her, inducing leading to a variety of effects, including rapid death. One victim felt an uncontrollable withdrawal and cowering reflex run through their muscles as they found themselves plunged into a semi-awake state while the most abominable images they could imagine flashed before her eyes for a brief moment. Otherwise, spasms, convulsions and symptoms similar to an epileptic seizure can occur among the less fortunate, even leading to death.
