Last week, a science organization by the name of WhayuMing Incorporated was found to be in possession of a new life form. The creature had features similar to a Chihuahua, yet it seemed to be much larger than the average size of a dog. Its size is likely due to long-term experimentation. Despite the speedy arrest of the numerous well-known scientists in charge of this inhumane experiment, it proved to be fruitless, as within the few hours of taking these scientists down to the station, one subject managed to escape into the world, leaving nothing but its empty capsule titled “Prince-001”. 

The ground of the laboratory was slick with unknown green sludge, and because the scene seemed to be much too dangerous for the police, a specially trained HAZMAT team was quickly assigned to the case. Many speculate this specific HAZMAT team has ties to officials at Area-51. Nevertheless, the investigation continued, and with the help of a trail of green sludge leading to the local sewer, the hunt was soon coming to a close. Or, so authorities thought. 

As the police trudged down into the sewer, the muck of green left by the creature seemed to slowly trail off into the murky water. By this point, the situation seemed to become dire, and much too much to handle for the HAZMAT team which led to the military and the president getting involved in the mystery. Weeks transformed into months, months into years and still, there was no sign of this creature, no matter how much effort was put into finding it. Even so, the trial of the guilty scientists continued and resulted in each receiving a life sentence and the removal of their licenses to practice. Though, this would not be the end of Prince-001. 

Sightings of a large, monster-like figure were rumored to lurk in the bogs of Florida, and with each passing moment, it only grew in size. Sightings of this nature continued for a month before the local authorities became involved, and they were met with a surprise: Prince-001 met them face-to-face during a long and humid Florida night later that fateful summer day. Shots rang through the bog as Prince-001 charged at the authorities, though nothing slowed the large beast. Just as the officers accepted their fate, shock filled the air when the figure leaped into the air and caught a mouthful of pesky insects in its mouth, the sickly crunches of small beings rang from the creature's mouth, and it soon laid down, returning to its typical, restful state. 

The police who discovered this creature, quickly returned back to the station, reporting their findings and once more, military officials were called to take care of the matter at hand. However, after a prolonged period of contemplation, it was decided that Prince-001 was not a threat at all. He was a loved and popular legend amongst locals, and with the threat of Prince-001 being exterminated or removed by government officials, came protests and petitions to keep the gentle creature. 

Further investigation Into the plans of the scientists and into Prince-001 itself proved the phenomenon to be relatively harmless, though at times protective. With hesitation, Prince-001 was left behind in the swamps of Florida to protect the locals. 

Today, Prince-001 is simply known as “Prince” and, he is slowly but surely, ridding of the pesky bug population as he ages, he especially adores flies. He is a creature beloved by all, and you can even pay to see him if you can find a guide who will take you. Though, you will not find any shortage of merchandise of his silly, yet charming face.

 Now that you have learned the legend of Prince, I hope he lives in your heart just as much as he lives in the hearts of so many locals and individuals around the world.
