Their research is also starting to go off into very dangerous territory that's making them an even bigger threat to everyone then before (Themselves included). The artificial primals involved in the Weapon project seem like something that could snowball into a potentially Calamity-inducing problem if Ascian foolery gets involved.
Let's not forget the Black Rose, or the Resonant.

I'm preety sure the beast in question is the Shabti, which incidentally is encountered a few times in Allagan areas such as Azys Lla.
