Object is an alien species of carnivorous shapeshifters, of unknown provenance, that had somehow spread to service stations in motorways along the Southwest and Northwest regions of Brazil.
This species is capable of taking the shape of any object, and its outer shell can replicate the feel of most smooth materials, including glass and ceramics. When it detects a living being in contact with it, it engulfs that being and devours it. It's capable of devouring a large human being without issue. When at rest, it is capable of retaining the shape of its chosen object apparently indefinitively.
The objects have never attacked anyone who was accompanied. It's unknown if this means the species is sentient or if it possesses a very specific sense. Because of that, the objects' preferential targets were long-haul truckers during early morning hours.
The DPA was first alerted to the object's existence due to numerous anonymous calls, first beginning on early 1999. This was passed down to the urban legend division, which took a few months to ascertain its truth due to the realtive paucity of attacks. Once a pattern was found, the creature's modus operandi was quickly deducted.
It is unknown why the creature only takes the shape of toilet bowls, and how it spread to gas stations.
The ending of disappearance cases since 2001 and the urban legend's lack of permance suggest that all instances of the object have been found and contained. Over 200 separate instances were found, of which 10 remain for studies.
The objects in captivity reveal that they can eat meat that is already dead, they need roughly 100kg of raw meat per month, and they reproduce roughly every 12 years. Objects in containment remain in toilet bowl form even when eating, including younglings that have never seen a toilet bowl. No examination has been possible; when the object is not feeding, all exam results are identical to that of a nonanomalous toilet bowl.
