Nikki Price’s Monster with illustration by Tracey Abrahams

Strange beast, long in shape, six ugly heads each head with nine eyes.

Fed on bodies of fallen visitors, unable to say at this time if it is able to kill, or just feasts on the remains.

The end of the tail seems to contain a stinger. If you disturb it, it will swish towards you. It is able to stand almost upright so the stinger can easily reach a person’s throat.

I ran away before it could reach me. Luckily, whilst in motion it seems quite slow. It is pink in colour and stays amongst the pink shrubs which makes it hard to find.

(We’re not absolutely saying that anyone had licked a dustcat ahead of this monster encounter, but this is an unusually cheerful colour for an island entity and some of us are suspicious!)
