Yes. The Great Monster is real (see, we have a picture of it). Some people say it's a flying plate of pasta that may signal the age of new enlightenment. Others insist it is a beast impossible to destroy without a +3 psionic blast from a level seven Elf equipped with arrows of shame and a bow of wonderous carnage.
Whatever it is, we know that this beautiful art and only tacit reference to the Great Monster is sure to be an ice-breaker in conversation. Although we've given you the two most likely explanations of it - feel free to make something up when someone taps you on the shoulder in line at the supermarket.
