("Targeted by Thing" Scenario)

The Thing is a central antagonist of the series of the same name. It is an unidentified bacterial lifeform of unknown origin which crash landed on Earth in the Antarctic and later discovered by a research team, soon causing havoc for the unsuspecting inhabitants. Its purpose being to likely assimilate the rest of the world.

It's appearance in base form is a microscopic organism capable of infecting and assimilating a host in minutes and adopting their form. This applies to the manner it chooses to mutate, often showing features of various organisms it assimilated previously.

With a vastly diverse mix of other alien life in its DNA it assimilated before, it can mutate in grotesque fashion as a means of self defense or to outright attack if it's cover is blown which it prefers to infect others in secret. Due to its various ways of mutation it can grow appendages and such which are traits of the countless organisms it has assimilated. It can utilize the very memories and mannerisms of its host to its advantage and making it indistinguishable to the real thing. When in danger it can detach a piece of itself for survival which even applies to its own blood, a single cell acting on its own if necessary.

The Thing organism is bacterial in nature, only expressing mannerisms based on the host it has assimilated and taken the form of whether it's an animal or human. In its nature it is parasitic, it's only sole purpose being to infect and assimilate a host vessel as long as one cell infects them. It adopts the same personality of who it infects as well making it versatile, even adopting the person or animal's behavior exactly but still is driven by its instinct to infect others. Once it finds its desired target alone and vulnerable, it strikes in any number of ways in order to infect them whether it's by mutilation or contaminating something to secretly infect them. Overall, the Thing organism harbors sinister motives to make sure it spreads its bacteria on a global scale like a hive mind. It is capable of learning from the experiences of organisms it assimilated.
