The Octo Opthalamus Kolossos

Out of nowhere there was a sudden trembling in the ancient temple and a beast crashed through the roof. It was an ancient Greek beast called the octo opthalmus kolossos. In English that means ”the eight eyed giant”.

Its arms were a hairy gingerly colour like cinnamon. Instead of having only two arms the beast has four arms which make it easier to lift heavy objects. You can see his pumping muscles in all four arms with jagged claws ripping out the end of his hairy skin which is as tough as diamonds.

The beast has two heads that are smothered in drifting water. Seeing would be no problem for the octo because it has 8 eyes. Each eye’s individually a different shade of colour and all different shapes and sizes. With two heads, each one has no nose but it can taste the air with its purple slithering tough. Inside each blood thirsty mouth are a pair of flesh ripping fangs which are 13cm long.

The Octo Opthulmus Kolossos has eight extremely powerful tails which could send you flying if you got hit by any of them. All of the tails are black except for the red stripes that spirals up the tails which start to glow after dusk. Annoying the beast will make the black hair explode into sizzling black flames that disintegrate anything it touches into dust as dark as a night wrapped in oily black clouds.

Even to this day, the Octo still terrorises the people who come into the temple and sometimes sucks their flesh off of their bones and makes a stew of their guts. When the Octo Opthulmus Kolossos has finished with the body it makes a pile of skin right where the priest stands.

Ryan's Beast Description. Room 1 has been writing decriptions of their choice of a beast. We gave them Latin names to describe characteristics. Stay tuned for illustrations to follow!

The Thing

In a shopping mall emerged a tiny thing with one leg and two heads. A fat blue cop had gone to capture it with a shiny strong metal cage. He saw it; it looked as cute as a baby pink bunny. He stared.

It had 1 normal sized head with two bright red eyes like bright red rubies and 1 awfully small head with 223 tiny eyes formed together on its forehead. It looked like its head had 1 massive eye on it.

It had one furry bouncing leg with razor sharp claws out of all its 56 toes. The one leg sticks out of its stomach like a sore thumb. The leg makes it hop like a grown up frog even if it doesn’t want to. The thing leaped up and down as if it thought it was a tree frog.

“Amazing” one of the civilians exclaimed. “It has black fur with gold lightning bolt strikes on its stomach as if it was from the clouds. “The lightning bolt strikes were from where it came from.” A local scientist who had been studying it for a long time announced. Suddenly it pounced at the cop and hit over a near mustard coloured coconut stand, which hit over a small kid. Standing there beaming at the cop right next to the rolling coconuts. He bounced once again at the cop. When the thing was in mid air the cop pulled out a black rifle and blew off its small 223 eyed head and it died a long slow painful death. After that the civilians called it Fortis, Mal, Hecta, Micros, (The tiny yet strong, bad, hundred eyed thing) for short The Micros.
