"Up Shite Creek"

Films: Don't Let the Riverbeast Get You (2012)

Alias: None

Type: Ancient

Location: River/Forest

Height/Weight: That of an average human.

Affiliation: Neutral

Summary: Gillmen sometimes end up looking the same, really. It's hard to outdo the one we were blessed with by Universal back then. But there are people who try, and we've gotten a few cool designs in the process, but even then they didn't quite deviate from the formula. But this one does...in all the ways that can be done by such a non-existent budget.

History: In the town of Riverton, there is a legend that fills the residents with equal parts fear and skepticism. Within the river in the forest, there is said to be a fish-like humanoid known as the Riverbeast that occasionally comes out of the water, and rips people to shreds. But while many have written it off as a myth, it is very much real, and no one who goes into the woods will get out alive.

Notable Kills: Stabs at least two people with tree branches.

Final Fate: After being beaten around a bit, the Riverebeast is finally finished off. How? With kitty litter! Because...of course. Just a bit of feline sand, and the creature is reduced to writhing on the floor, his gills filling up with it, and dying. Huh.

Powers/Abilities: Good with tools, and is vaguely capable of speech.

Weakness: Kitty litter. Yes, really.

Scariness Factor: 2-We really wish we could be more afraid of this creature. It has a very unique design, and we can only imagine how much it could lacerate you with those claws. But the suit is so painfully fake (you can even see the opening on the back), its moves are not fatal-looking in the slightest, and its got a goddamn weakness to stuff cats defecate in! Needless to say, the Riverbeast was lucky to have gotten anyone.

Trivia: -This film was done by the appropriately named studio Brain Damage Films, which also gave us such classics as "Terror Toons" and "Alice in Murderland".

-Three different people wore the Riverbeast costume for this film.

Thus, he's very distinguished.

That camera isn't compensating for something. It's an honest representation.

Done in by Garfield's excrement. There are worse fates.
If that's what it takes...

His daily morning routine.


"Can't we just get along?"
Can this mild-mannered tutor defeat the ancient powerful monster? What do you think?

The answer is, of course, NO.

One puuuuuunch!
