You're lucky. I have that image saved on my computer. But I don't want to spoil it.

Also I don't think this is too IC.

You look up at the fat, green mantis in the red hat.
This mantis ees huge!  It ees fat!  Or maybe, it's ph@t!!!!!! lollollol
Sporting a bright green shell, this big-ass mantis could probably eat yuo alive, as well
as violate every rule in a description.  His claws are made of pure sand, and look
deadly.The fat, green mantis in the red hat is in excellent condition.

Santa Mantis has a gift for you in his bag.  Unfortunately, it's in the back of an argosy pulled by a thirteen starving, crazed carru.  The one in front looks like it might be a Krathi.

Look.  This is a pretty serious situation.

I'm impressed that they changed the code without having to restart the game.

Its probably already written into the code to choose the textfile with the festive mantis head if its Christmas.

Santa Mantis

Sandy Claws, spreading Githmas cheer in the form of bloody raids and summary executions.

I remember one year (playing a mantis) receiving an elf stuffed in a box.  It was thoughtful.

Haha... that ranks up there with baby objects set to type "food". Inevitably someone would make a keyword blunder with the eat command and end up with a "partially eaten blue-eyed baby" or the like in the inventory.

Awwww, I MISS ComradeCanada. That's still my favorite Arm joke.

Some parents take the "I'm going to eat your toes" game just a little too far...



Anyhow, I enjoy seeing the Christmas hat.
