Big Beautiful Hell - The Second Artbook

Spooky Dude!

Heyo look who it is!

It's Spook! If you read my life book (wow another chapter connected to it again??) you'd see that I posted a character bio really early this morning. That little dude is now visually represented right here for you! I really love how it turned out. It only took and hour and a half as well, which is really nice. Anyway, if you didn't or don't read Still Here, Still Dumb, I'll post its bio right here:

Spook is a supernatural being of unknown origin. It is inspired by the legend of Gef, the Dalby Spook (which is the namesake) that supposedly haunted a farmhouse and talked to the residents. It's a kinda cool cryptid. If you want to learn about it, go to the Wikipedia page here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gef# It is also inspired by the Lemon Demon song "Eighth Wonder" (which is about Gef) and I happen to mcfrickin' love the crap out of that song. (I'm on a huge Lemon Demon kick right now whoops) Anyways, LISTEN TO THAT SONG!

Hhhhhhhhhhhh I have fallen hard and fast in love. This is also Spook's honorary theme song, if you wanted to know.

So, Spook.

Appearance: While Spook has never been fully viewed by humans, (only small glimpses and constructive sketches are available) it can be viewed in part or through mirrors, although attempts to have it still for long enough to get a good look have all failed. From what has been gathered, Spook is generally shaped and sized like a weasel and has a large bottlebrush tail. It has pointy, tufted ears, sharp teeth, and very humanlike hands. Lastly, it is rumoured to have three eyes with slitted pupils. It has never been directly viewed because this creature seems to have the gorgon-like power of petrification upon its gaze. The fur of Spook is mostly dull yellow, with small grape purple accents. These accents are located on the tip of its tail and a ring below that, two rings on each leg, and the tips of its ears.

Behaviour: Spook has been spotted in many rural houses across the countryside of Britain. Its presence is usually first noticed in scratching and scurrying sounds in the walls, followed by indecipherable whispers. Spook then advances to making strange sounds and playing mind games with the residents of whatever home it is in, mimicking voices to call people into rooms, misplacing small items, and generally being a nuisance. If you have noticed such occurrences in your home, it is imperative you act normally. It will be over shortly if you do not acknowledge the creature's existence, as it seems to find its pursuits boring if it gains no reactions.
In all cases where the residents of the home have tried to contact Spook or admit that something truly isn't right (as opposed to general declarations of confusion, e.g. "I swore I left that there!") the creature becomes brazen and even dangerous, mischief turning to mayhem. This behaviour commonly begins with three loud taps on the wall of wherever the most family members are. Spook announces itself as "The Eighth Wonder of the World" and makes claims of what it is and can do, frequently highlighting the fact that it is "powerful beyond imagination", "an incomprehensible freak", and that it can and will "mummify my perusers". At this point, Spook begins to cause real trouble. It will steal from the residents, cause property damage, and even attack household pets and frighten young children. The only upside to this activity is that after it announces itself, Spook is usually open to conversation and seems to enjoy answering questions and riddles. Some households that were previously haunted actually managed to lessen the demon's blow through conversation, asking if they could barter for it to leave or provide it with what it might want. This can go on for days, weeks, or even months, but will stop suddenly once Spook decides that it would like to move on.
