Random, extremely whimsical thought inspired by the
Giant Bipedal Cats thread, and a suggestion that one of the sightings described within it might possibly have been a fursuiter...
While suiters are usually very particular about where, when and how they suit up, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that a well-lubricated furry might randomly decide, one night, that donning their fuzzy alter ego and going for a galumph around the local woods is a great way to spend some otherwise idle time.
Then imagine someone else happens to pass the wood, who might also happen to be well-lubricated, and occasions to see something large, hairy and animal-like wandering through the shadows beneath the trees, making strange, unearthly noises. Cue panicked reports to anyone who'd listen of a huge, scary, bestial cryptid prowling the forest after dark, roaring like a demon...
Next thing the sozzled furry knows, having spent most of the night stumbling drunkenly lost around the woods, moaning and shouting because they keep banging their head on branches and their expensively realistic suit's covered footpaw-to-ear in mud and brambles, they're making a guest appearance on a brand new episode of
Mountain Monsters.
Ah, my mind sometimes.
