Mumm-Ra - 'What Would Steve Do?'

Post categories:

Fraser McAlpine | 10:01 UK time, Sunday, 18 February 2007

Mumm-RaOh CUTE! Look at this little fella! You don't see a hybrid strain like him every day, do you? He's got the hind-quarters of a Killers stadium rock classic - look, his calves are made of anthemic synthy noise and he's got hooves just like Robert Smith of the Cure. But his front end is constructed from pure English whimsy, which means he's a little asthmatic and squeaky, his flanks are giddy and hard to control, and he's prone to suddenly lurching about as if doing a knees-up in a cockney pub.

Yeah, the top of his head IS strange, isn't it? A horn on one side, all shiny and polished with a black rubber bulb you can squeeze to make it go HONK!, and on the other, what can only be described as an anthemic antler, made of stainless steel and covered in stickers from a soft drink manufacturer.

It's difficult to know which eco-system could best support a beast like this, really. The dark indiegrowth might not have the essential nutrients to keep his coat as glossy as it currently is, but the wide open chart plains may not provide the variety of diet he is used to, and he could lose some of his skippy glee as a result.

Still, one for the textbooks, eh?
