The nefarious lag monster
___This evil creature, scientifically known as Belua cunctans, sucks the energy out of the internet, making it especially slow for users in its immediate vicinity. Few know of the existence of these creatures, as they are very secretive and shy, and the only confirmed spotting was in a toolshed in Sweden. However, their effects are often felt.
___Lag monsters are small animals, ranging in size from one to three feet in length. They have long bodies with strong forearms and small bat wings, and their tails are over half of their entire body length. Their skin is smooth and dark orange, while their claws have a neon glow. They have short, but pointy horns, several rows of small silver razor-sharp teeth and a long forked tongue. The lag monster's most distinctive feature is its eyes, which are multi-faceted and constantly shifting hue.
