Tragedy. ;_;
Big Fan of skull beast thing, where do I file adoption papers?
Seconding this. I’d settle for being a friendly neighbour if I have to?
Maybe it is the Island Witch's pet? :) Heck, maybe it is the Island Witch?
Does that mean its name is Caliban?
So she's either out of bullets or she's learned it can't be taken down with a gun easily and doesn't want to risk hand-to-hand combat...
Or she's just not inclined to kill something without a better reason than said creature startling her?
Maybe, but her reaction made me think that she's encountered this thing before, and based on how it's portrayed on this page I'm thinking it's dangerous.
Here we observe a wild Barber in her natural habitat. Cautious by nature, they hide in river banks to watch potential prey. Upon sizing up an agreeable morsel, the Barber will launch herself out, latch onto a limb, and then drag them into the water.
Wait, no, that’s crocodiles.
You an tell the difference quite easily, as a
crocodile will smile more...
Not necessarily: Florence would smile more than a crocodile.
Florrie is not a wild Barber. She is a cultivated Barber well suited to being pampered in a formal garden.
Though tame, this Barber is no less dangerous to the unwary than her wild relatives.
Or see you after a while...
Try reading that with Sir David Attenborough's voice.
Is there any other way to read it?
This guy.

Thank you for making me aware of that video, Moe. <3
Literally the voice that I read it in on the first go.
How widely is he known beyond the UK? Do they use his voiceovers on documentaries in the US and elsewhere as well?
Yep.
I didn't know the name, but I'm 95% sure I know the dude you're talking about. Or his voice, at least.
I don't think so, but a lot of documentaries he voices or appears in are, as far as I know, widely distributed.
Wild? She’s absolutely livid!
(Who else is old enough to remember Gerald the Gorilla?)
Is it just me, or does that things look like a more monstrous, prehistoric version of Pride?
Pride had a little teeny bit better of the tail... I guess.
Oooh, it ruined her chance at what remained of a decent smoke. Can't be happy about that.
Hello. My name is Harriet Barber. You ruined the only tobacco in five hundred miles. Prepare to die.
That or try to craft some out of the local plant life.
I don't suggest that.
Wise to tie your ankle to a large rock first.
:Creature takes Harry's gun:
"Hrm. Gonna be a bit trickier from here on out."
:Creature ruins Harry's last smoke:
"Oh that is IT! They're in for such a whuppin' now!"
The jokes on Harriet, it was probably friendly and wanted to cuddle.
Pretty sure she would respond to the prospect of a cuddle in the same way.
Doggy!
There's no way it didn't know she was there. So either it hates water or doesn't want to interact with her.
Oh deary me. Whatever you are, you done goofed by making Harriet waste the last of her tobacco.
Looks like a good day to give up smoking.
I don't imagine that Harriet would agree with you.
"Looks like I picked a bad week to give up..."

Now, is that an animal or someone wearing an animal skin?
Rodents of unusual size? They don't exist.
Oof at least it's only water (i THINK)
My cup runneth over with disappointment that she didn't use her pipe as a snorkel.
Thought about it but since she just put some tobacco in there it didn't really quite work
At least the gunpowder is dry...right ?
Looks friendly.
THAT... is not a native animal.
I mean the glowing eyes are kinda a giveaway.
Until it is named otherwise, I will dub it "Taniwha"
