The Beer Wolf
The "Beer Wolf" (Lobo fermentibulus), originating from northern Europe, like other human-associated scavengers is now ubiquitous, living at the fringes of human settlements across the globe. Stealthy and shrewd, this small quadruped only selects prey whose perceptions and defenses have been dulled by an intoxicant, typically alcohol. The Beer Wolf rarely kills its prey, since its nutritional needs are very modest. Instead, the typical evidence of a visit from The Beer Wolf is indirect, and noted only the following morning, in the form of unexplained cuts and bruises mysteriously acquired during the period of intoxication despite no memory of trauma.

Re: The Beer Wolf (Cryptozoology theme)
Glad somebody "got it"! One of my drinking buddies coined the phrase, when you wake up with unexplained bruises the next day. I just thought it would be funny to write up the concept in a taxonomic textbook style. Hey Drabblecast gurus, let's have another Cryptozoology episode!

Re: The Beer Wolf
I bet a lot of Forumites will suddenly realize, "Hey, I've been visited by The Beer Wolf too!" Ahhh, the sense of community...

Hmm...can you explain the ridiculous creature that crawls into my brain and mucks things up when I've fallen for someone? Lol

Re: The Beer Wolf
Everything about this thread rocks my face off. 
Does the Beer Wolf come in breeds? Because I think I'm gonna pay a visit to the Stout Bernard tonight...

Re: The Beer Wolf
Excellent question, 'cat! I don't think the answer is known. Most field cryptozoologists tend to leave their Dignitometers behind in the lab. Something about their profession bollixes the readings.

Yes, the act of observation changes the direction or velocity of the thing observed.

Re: The Beer Wolf
Was visited by das Bier Wulf last night. Observational reports confirm that it does, indeed, eat dignity.
Unrelated note: why's it so bright in here?
