Completely unlike the landscape of this planet ...... directly in front of me is a lake - Harry's Lake. Five minutes later layers of ripples rose from the lake, and it seemed that something was floating on the surface of the water, with its back to me. A huge aquatic creature with tentacles, as if it were an octopus, but even ten, no, twenty times bigger than the giant octopus on the West Coast. Its neck alone was fifteen rods thick ....... dare not look it straight in the face."
--Auguste William Dresser, 《Window in the Mountain Walls》
"The Emerald Lama is a mystical sage dressed in shimmering green tattered robes, surrounded by a divine halo. When the lama walks, only a blur of a torso with green folds of skin is faintly visible. The hooded robe wraps tightly around his entire body, except for the bare human head and neck ...... Those who look deeper into the shadows will find no nose or mouth in it, only glistening pupil-less green eyes."
