It came from Thüringer Wald
The first "monster attack" in Europe after the implementation of the special forces known as Wildhunters.
A huge being, best described as a plant giant, bursted from the tree line of Thüringer Forest in Germany. In a fit of rage he began rampaging the town at which he emerged, picking up and throwing cars, kicking in buildings, everything he touched became overtaken with lush plant life.
The Wildhunter Special Forces were immediately flown in from their nearest HQ, arriving within an hour of the sounding of the alarm, and after a tough battle, found a way to fell the beast.
