COTU

COTU is an acronym for Creatures of the Uerica. It is a large containment center for the Uerica creatures that SCAR has experimented on.

Role in the story
Cotu is where Abel and all of the other Uerica creatures are held against their will by SCAR. This is where Abel keeps the shard away from SCAR for most of the time.

Location and Design
Cotu is a large dome that is located very close to SCAR's science building deep in the northern forest of Pennsylvania. The dome pokes out of the forest but it has never been discovered by the public. Inside of the dome it's filled with many generic small houses for the creatures to live in. It looks like a small neighborhood inside the dome, which is meant to make the creatures believe they have their own society of some kind. There is only one way in and out of the dome, which is a small double door system that is only locked from the outside.
