Skullbeard Mountain *

The pre-eminent cryptozoologist of our time Loren Coleman dishes up the low-down on the multi-media event known as Cryptid, that Weta is involved in.

The artist Alex Horley is another co-conspirator and painted the following picture, which illustrates the truth behind a popular misconception. Yeti does not always swat at his opponents with his powerful claw-ended fore-arms. He has been known to use the odd implement in his scrimmages.

Yeti is particular fond, as depicted here, of wielding large sticks, or as they are known to the cosmopolite, "staves".

See for yourself.



* Full Title: "In the shadow of Skullbeard Mountain, Yeti teams up with Lara Croft and the sea serpent Zishaulle to defeat Roger Venger, Caped Explorer, and his patented "knife-gun". Staves in particular are employed with deftness. Meanwhile, high above, a bi-plane blows up a blimp. Ka-Pow!"
