Cryptids are everywhere, and more and more people are in on the secret... that's okay, I guess we couldn't keep the slamina hidden away forever.

You gotta know where to hang...seems like having a ninja friend is a good thing in case those catcrabs come back. Killer!

Of all the cryptids to be chased down, Slamina was the LAST one I expected to see. Running backwards? @_@

:P Can't wait for Friday/Sunday

On Friday I need to attend my Goddaughter Dawns graduation (really she is my cousin). Hopefully a couple of my team mates might make the night chase. Its an unavoidable choice. However Sunday I will be there with at least a few people in tow and I am starting to study up all the great creatures and... wow videos too!
At 3:27pm on May 9, 2009, cattavery said…
yay!

I am stoked too. Plotting about getting others along.
