Question

I am doing History on the Vikings now and one of my questions is:
"What was the Thing? What did it do?"
I can't find it in my book and Google searching did nothing.
Anybody know what the Thing is?

Literally
What is the Thing? What did it do?

Answer 3

"The Thing, also known as The Thing From Another World, is a shape-shifting creature that crash-landed upon Earth roughly 100,000 years ago. It was frozen in the ice of Antarctica and accidentally freed by the crew of Norway's Thule Research Station, which it proceeded to attack and destroy, in 1982. The Thing was forced to move onto America's U.S. Outpost North #31 to continue its attempts to escape to the mainland. This creature has the ability to absorb and copy the DNA of any life-form it consumes, allowing it to take on its appearance, memories, and mannerisms."
