Out next week / T-Fest…

Monster of the Day #554

Notice the land octopus is the one who looks scared here, and I don't blame him. If I saw that psycho running around with a shotgun and butcher's knife, I'd be trying to shield myself too. The last time I saw a guy looking like that he was trying to kill Reid Fleming.
