can see the face a bit better on this pic. The whole thing is odd looking. The over-sized head, the not enough legs look, the "cloak" that seems to flow off the back.... Overall a very odd looking critter.

[–]SorinSaakat 8 points9 points ago

Sheesh, from that angle it looks like some horribly mutated squirrel.

[–]koshercowboy 5 points6 points ago

that thing is adorable. excruciatingly frightening, but adorable nonetheless.

[–]Rvish 2 points3 points ago

The over-sized head

I think its head is normal-sized, it's just folding in on itself to display the pattern on its back.

[–]callmedood 12 points13 points ago

Looks like it came out of a Tim Burton movie.

[–]amsterdaam -1 points0 points ago

[–]JangSaverem 21 points22 points ago

That shit's an SCP.

[–]propofol 8 points9 points ago

Dafuq? What is that?

[–]tankfox 16 points17 points ago

That's a stone statue that will kill you via crushing or strangulation immediately if you take your eyes off of it for even a moment. When they go in to clean container once every couple of weeks they require three personnel to be inside at all times, all maintaining eye contact with the statue to ensure that it does not immediately murder them and escape.

[–]JangSaverem 11 points12 points ago

or in the case of the SCP game...that is exactly what happens.

[–]Zombi3Kush 6 points7 points ago

Looks like that site is where I will be spending the next couple of hours.

[–]Ram1r3z 3 points4 points ago

Don't play the game. It's scary as fuck.

[–]Scarjaka 7 points8 points ago

[–]Ram1r3z 1 point2 points ago

I WARNED YOU

[–]Zombi3Kush 3 points4 points ago

[–]Fishbus 2 points3 points ago

I spent all of my lunch hours at work reading those for three months, and I got through about 10 percent. Looks like the site where you'll be spending the next couple of days.

[–]jesaavedraxxi -1 points0 points ago

Is this.. Is this real?! That is fucking freaky. I don't know whether to take it seriously or not. If it's a joke that's a very creepy way to get laughs. Fucking reddit, all the time.

[–]aco620 4 points5 points ago

From the FAQ: Is this real? No. This is a collaborative writing website.

[–]koshercowboy 1 point2 points ago

<3. The stuff from which wonderfully horrible nightmares are born.

[–]wzmk2 5 points6 points ago
