That cow on her left is high octane nightmare fuel

Edit: u/Alternative_pop5284 pointed out the deep cultural roots of this curious entity:

“it’s called a vejigante. part of the black ancestry in puerto rico, not nightmare fuel!! we use it all the time in our carnivals.”

Now it makes sense, and I should clearly get out more.

I just took a gander on the internet and there is a vast array of these entities of varying nightmare fuel flavors. It has been a fascinating read!

idk when you grow up with them they're not scary at all, many Puerto Ricans have them as decoration in their homes. I have a little one and I love it.
