Jessica Law was last seen on the island in the form of a haunted doll. This doesn’t appear to have stopped her from making a submission to the Hopeless, Maine scientific Society regarding new creature sightings on the island.

At the top we have something that will strike fear into many hearts. The business fly, with its distinctive briefcase and hat. You may find it buzzing around your ear trying to sell you donkey insurance, roof insurance and the opportunity to invest in eyes in the sky. The business fly will say anything at all to get your attention. This is a survival strategy designed to distract you while their friends spit on your food. None of the things they offer to sell you are real.

Then we have the rabbit slug. A true nightmare for gardeners, this being combines the rabbit’s fondness for your veg plot with the slug’s fondness for your veg plot. Unfortunately, it tastes like a slug, slides out of snares like a slug, resists salt like a rabbit and runs off like a rabbit using it’s slug end as one big foot. It really is more than the sum of its worst parts.
