There are all sorts of neat, unexplained monsters who lurk the earth and occasionally show up on the news. We've got Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, various Yetis, that thing in China is is sort of a rip off of the Loch ness Monster, and my own personal favorite, the Skunk Ape. Everytime I read about one of these (which is very often, seeing as how I am the Editor in Chief of both Yeti Illustrated and the Skunk Ape Mysteries), I am a little saddened because there's nothing like that in Texas. We have all sorts of neat stuff like the Alamo and the Snake Farm and the world's 2nd largest fire hydrant, but we have no monsters. Unless you count Willie Nelson and his band, who really are more scraggly than monstrous.
What I propose then is that we create a monster for Texas to call its own, much like the Skunk Ape. I'm thinking it should be some sort of mutated Texas symbol, like maybe a zombie Nolan Ryan. That being said, I have racked my brain and come up with the following Texas monsters that would be suitable as urban legends.
I feel like I don't even have to ask you guys who should win. It's all possum, like most other things in life. In order to get this legend started on the right foot, I have created an imagine showing just what the Possum of Pestilence is capable of. Here's a picture of him running rampant at the Texas State Fair. Be very afraid, citizens of Texas: the Possum of Pestilence is out there.
