I'm a marine biologist. It's obvious he's moulting.
Its his radical final moult, metamorphosing from an aquatic nymph to a winged adult

Is that why he must consume the souls of all the children? For energy for the metamorphosis?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, that's silly.
He consumes souls to power the deep machines in the darkness.

His entire team of staffers should be convicted on elder abuse.

For a second I thought The Onion had become an actual news site.
