Case No. #1189
Periodic Roars, Physical Damage to Rocks, and Suspicious Livestock Deaths in the Kunlun Mountains, China
Summary
In the early hours of October 17, 2018, in the remote Kunlun Mountains of Qinghai Province, China, a shepherd reported livestock brutally killed under unnatural circumstances, accompanied by multiple low-frequency roars echoing throughout the mountain range. Since this incident, periodic discoveries of colossal footprints and deep claw marks on rocks in the region have suggested the activity of an unidentified large creature. Authorities have dispatched investigation teams multiple times, but severe weather, treacherous terrain, and electronic equipment malfunctions have prevented the capture of definitive evidence. DNA samples retrieved do not match any known species, leaving its identity a mystery to this day. The possibility of an unknown entity lurking in the vast mountains is indicated, and the authorities maintain continuous surveillance.
Details
At approximately 3:00 AM on October 17, 2018, in a pasture in the southern Kunlun Mountains, a nomad identified as Gombo (pseudonym) reported unusual roaring sounds and the brutal slaughter of his livestock. At the time, seven of his sheep had their spines crushed, and some were missing. Multiple enormous footprints of an unusual shape, not typical of known predators, were found at the scene.
Over several years following this incident, similar reports emerged sporadically from the Kunlun Mountains and surrounding areas. In particular, traces of high-altitude vegetation crushed under unusual pressure and deep claw marks etched into hard rock formations were periodically discovered. Local folklore has long spoken of 'Masters of the Mountain' or 'Great Snow Beasts,' which were considered mere superstitions until these incidents brought renewed attention to their potential existence.
On August 12, 2019, a geological survey team discovered a mass of feces and hair near an altitude of 5,000 meters, which was distinctly different from that of common biological species. These samples were carefully collected and analyzed in a laboratory. DNA analysis results indicated that they did not match any known species in Earth's biological databases, suggesting an unknown biological origin.
On April 25, 2020, during a patrol by border guards, a low-frequency growling sound, like something crawling along the ground, was intermittently recorded emanating from a deep valley in the Kunlun Mountains. This sound was distinct from existing animal vocalizations, causing nearby animals to react with extreme excitement or silence. Simultaneously, some of the guards' portable radios experienced inexplicable noise interference.
In the summer of 2021, authorities formed a special investigation team, installing multiple surveillance cameras and acoustic sensors. However, in addition to harsh natural conditions such as heavy winter snowfall and summer lightning strikes, electronic equipment frequently experienced unexplained shutdowns and data corruption during nighttime operations. Specifically, automated cameras inexplicably ceased functioning, leading to critical moments not being recorded.
On September 5, 2022, an automatic tracking camera set up by the team briefly captured a colossal shadow. However, the image was extremely blurry, making it impossible to identify detailed shapes. Immediately afterward, the camera completely ceased to function, and physical damage to its exterior was confirmed upon retrieval. This raised the possibility that the entity possesses the ability to physically interfere with machinery.
This incident remains unexplained. Authorities are conducting ongoing investigations to identify the ecology, behavioral patterns, and conditions for the appearance of the creature in question. The view that an unknown entity beyond our comprehension lurks in the depths of the vast Kunlun Mountains is gaining traction.
Authorities are urging residents in the surrounding areas to remain vigilant while considering the deployment of additional observation equipment and the introduction of more advanced analytical technologies. This incident serves as an important record suggesting the existence of undiscovered biological forms within natural environments.

Witness Testimony
Witness A (Nomad Gombo)The sound I heard at night was as if the entire mountain was groaning. The sheep were in terrible condition. I'd never seen anything like it before.
Investigator B (Geological Survey Team)The hair we collected had a texture and structure I'd never seen. It was clearly distinct from any known animal.
Guard C (Border Patrol)As soon as the terrible noise started coming from the radio, I heard that growl. It was a chilling sound, like it was echoing from the depths of hell.
Kyu's Analysis
Vast unexplored areas of these mountains still harbor presences beyond our knowledge. Vigilance is required. The mismatch of DNA with known species and the interference with electronic equipment cannot be overlooked. Investigations will be accelerated.
