This is an Illustration by Tim Morris of a mysterious creature that had been encountered in Washington state. The single sighting led to the legend of the Crazy Critter of Bald Mountain. The creature was seen by Ernest Smith, a grocer, on November 17th, 1974. His encounter was just a few days after witnesses claimed to see a giant fireball crash just a couple miles from the mountain. Smith described the most bizarre being many have ever heard of:

"...it was horse-sized, covered with scales and standing on four rubbery legs with suckers like octopus tentacles. Its head was football-shaped with an antenna sticking up...The thing gave off this green, iridescent light."
