Name that beast

Went to a lecture by famed Cryptozoologist Loren Coleman this weekend and it was quite good. The man knows his stuff and he engages an audience well. He went through the history of his field and then introduced some of the cryptids. You know. The Montauk Monster. The Dover Demon. The Maine Mutant. Other beasties with great alliterative monikers.

If I’d had had more time to plan, I would have brought along the following photo, manufactured by the exceedingly twisted photographer Russ Dillingham, and demanded of the crypto dude: “What do you make of this, Mr. Coleman! If you reach into that bag of pithy nicknames you carry around everywhere, what will you pluck away to describe this horror! What, Mr. Coleman? What?”

But I didn’t think of it and so I leave it to you.

    Duh…………. Obviously it’s a female beast. (Just look at the girlish facial features) I think “FICTITIOUS LAFLAMMOUS FILLE”

    I’m curious. What’s that thing hanging in the front? Then again, maybe I don’t really want to know.
