I was a lone cattle bug rancher at the time. There wasn’t usually anything that deviated from my daily routine of managing my cattle bugs and keeping charrots off my property.

But then I started to notice that some of my cattle bugs went missing, only to show up the next day. I blamed it on the charrots pulling pranks on me. I decided to stake out the night with my rifle to catch them in the act.

That night I watched over my cattle. Nothing happened initially, and I considered going to sleep, but then I saw something in the moonlight.

It was a huge tentacle ending in four fingers. The tentacle seemed to go on forever into the night sky. I watched with my jaws hanging open as it carefully picked up one of my bugs and retreated into the night sky. I staked out the next night to see what would happen, and the same tentacle came down and returned my cattle bug to its herd.

Over the following days, things grew increasingly weird. I often saw a giant sphere in the night sky with four of those same tentacles hanging off the bottom. Sometimes I’d see strange green and purple lights dancing in the sky at night. There were lapses in my memory, and sometimes I woke up feeling violated. There were giant footprints all across my ranch, with trees and hills seemingly flattened by giant elusive feet. Sometimes at night I’d feel massive vibrations, as if some giant entity was walking nearby. Things got so scary that the tribe of charrots that lived on my ranch even came knocking on my door. One of them came up to me and spoke in my language, asking if they could hide in my house. Apparently the same things were happening to them. Charrots usually seemed so fearless to me, but this was the first time I’d ever seen them afraid. I let them stay inside my home, because quite frankly I was getting scared as well.

Several of them would stand guard at night, and after that nothing much happened. Until the night we decided to go out looking for it.

We all spent the first hours of the night patrolling my ranch, and for a time nothing happened. Until we felt something massive land behind us. As we turned around, what we saw became engraved into our minds forever.

A giant silhouette stood before us. Three rows of purple glowing spines with three green tips ran down its back. On its underside were eight glowing green membranes. On its head were two long tentacles that were the same color as it’s spines. It’s two blue eyes stared us down, and appeared almost curious.

What really stood out though was it’s size. It was bigger than anything I’d ever seen before, and it dwarfed the biggest buildings I’d ever seen.

Then, as soon as it appeared, it unfurled two giant wings and took off into the night. It moved faster than anything of its size had any right to.

After that, everything went back to normal. My cattle bugs stopped disappearing. I no longer woke up violated. Interactions between me and the charrot tribe became less violent, and we eventually just casually acknowledged each other when we met.

Hey, I got another Halloween headshot done! once again, it’s always Halloween on my blog so shut up. This time it’s @a-beepbop’s Atagoan character Rememdet, from their project Atago!

I had to use my own teeth as reference points.
