Creature: PRISTICHAMPSUS
Main Location: British Museum / London
Synopsis: When an exhibition of ancient Egyptian relics comes to the British Museum, an anomaly opens in a mysterious monument called the Sun Cage. A creature emerges from it - a Pristichampsus, a kind of monstrous crocodile that can run on two legs. This creature, which comes from a past much more distant than the Egypt of the Pharaohs, somehow became worshipped as a god in that civilization, and is now portrayed in the hieroglyphics on the Sun Cage.
The murderous creature wreaks havoc in the museum before escaping into the city. Helped by Sarah Page (Laila Rouass), the smart and sexy archaeologist at the museum, Cutter (Douglas Henshall) Abby (Hannah Spearritt), Connor (Andrew-Lee Potts) and their new Head of Security, Captain Becker (Ben Mansfield) must track it down before it claims any more victims.
A race against time ensues as the trio track the monster across central London, from the busy banks of the Thames, to the Southbank and Royal Festival Hall. Back at the British Museum, Connor and Sarah guard the Sun Cage and repeatedly attempt to prevent other creatures from bursting through. During their battle, Connor inadvertently ‘locks’ the anomaly shut. Unclear how or why this amazing development occurs he nonetheless feels the beginnings of an idea. He also begins to believe in the legendary curse attached to the Sun Cage and convinces himself he is next in line for the crocodile God’s revenge.
