Description: Specimen 462 is a painting depicting a distorted version of Lady With an Ermine by Leonardo da Vinci. The subjects have the same poses as seen in the painting, but look completely different. Photos of Specimen 462 taken through cameras or reproduced digitally will not produce dangerous effects. Subjects that view the painting directly for more than 30 seconds without blinking will experience feelings of delirium or symptoms similar to ADHD. Subjects who view the painting directly for exactly 2 minutes will die in a fashion similar to a heart attack. Subjects who avert their eyes after 30 seconds but before 2 minutes will describe feeling normal. After a minute passes, one of the painting's subjects will emerge from the painting and pursue the viewer. Each of the painting's subjects are designated as 462-α and 462-β respectively. The subject will be pursued by a different entity depending on the amount of time the painting is viewed. 462-α will pursue the viewer if he/she/it has viewed the painting for under 45 seconds. 462-α is the size of a Chihuahua, displays a weasel-like anatomy, has eyes that are colored red, and teeth so large that it cannot close its mouth completely. Unlike most stoat-like creatures captured, 462-α lacks a tail. 462-α can chew through doors, no matter their composition. Subjects that are assaulted by 462-α will be forced to limp, as the Achilles tendons will most likely be destroyed. Once a subject is killed by 462-α, the entity will consume the subject's flesh and bones over the course of 30 minutes. 462-β will pursue the viewer if he/she/it has viewed the painting for over 45 seconds. 462-β is 5' 8", lacks most of its hair, has pale green skin, appears to lack eyes, lacks most of the nose, and the fingers are noticeably elongated. The front two incisors on the upper jaw are roughly 2 inches long, but all the other teeth are either missing or unchanged. 462-β's fingernails are much sharper than normal human fingernails, being capable of gouging out eyes or leaving large holes in flesh. 462-β will pursue the subject at roughly 25 miles per hour, and attacks from 462-β will leave surviving subjects disfigured. Once a subject is killed by 462-β, the entity will drag the carcass back to the painting, which it will toss inside. After disposing of a subject's corpse, both 462-α and 462-β will climb back into the painting, and remain dormant until another subject views the painting.
