Name: The Tentacle

Real Name: Weird Tent

Powers: The tent-like creature devours its victims and converts human matter into energy.

Weaknesses: Lava. Heavy rain and gusty wind. Weak tent stakes. People wearing mesh shorts or CK One perfume.

Origin: The being was first sighted in the 1980’s during a family camping trip. After the Tentacle ate his younger brother, Scotty Phillips said, “Holy crap. It’s like a tent monster – a tentacle, if you will.” His dad wanted to correct him and teach him that a tentacle is actually a long flexible appendage, but his dad was too busy screaming at the time. So the name stuck. No one is sure where it came from and what it wants, though this one guy in Denver thinks it’s a deformed coyote with a zipper.

Rules: The Tentacle is relatively benign and will only attack if you walk into its gaping maw. Let this be a lesson to those who enjoy rummaging through strange tents. The Tentacle cannot digest mesh shorts or CK One perfume.

Description: It looks like a tent and smells exactly like a wet Will Ferrell.
