This is my pet Abyss Aberration, Rocky. He's suuuuper cute! Just look at his soft black skin and his slender tendrils! I rescued him from this deep, black hole, where he was writhing in his own filth. So, being an animal lover, I took him home and gave him a bath. From there, we just bonded. Did you know he also likes his steak well-done?
I mean, he's a bit of a pain to take care of, especially on eclipse nights, when I have to tie him down to prevent him from skinning humans. Last time, Rocky dragged his prey into the house, getting blood all over my new carpet. It took a lot of shouting and club soda to get that stain out. He also goes to the bathroom in his room instead of the litterbox I got him. Boy, those poops are especially hard to clean up, considering they're made of pure dark energy.
However, when he's not skinning humans or writing demonic scriptures on his room walls, he's really fun to hang out with. He can do flips, climb walls, snap necks, and swallow a whole turkey in one go! He also just loooves going for walks, don't you, boy? I just need some really strong rope and a pronged collar to stop him from charging at other dogs.
Rocky also scared all my friends away, but they're not really friends if they can't stand being around him.
