Inspired by one of my favorite artists Keith Thompson.
The Anthropophagus is a true creature of horror. A mimicry, it looks to have the body of a full grown man or woman. Stories have been told by mortified huntsman of sickly derelicts lurking in the wilderness. Their heads bobbing at grotesque angles and their bodies moving impossibly fast as the run in the shadows. They are silent as the dead. One wanderer recalled how he happened upon a clearing and saw a headless body removing the heads of its victims with what seemed to be large gaping jaws. It consumed all the heads save the last, which it kept adorned between its shoulders as a trophy. (The creature is from Shakespeare's Othello)
