Watchtower is a infamous heroic internet-urban legend created by the popular canadian artist Trevor Henderson
Appearance[]
Her entire body she covered in many thick, gray hairs or possibly fur, akin to the ones seen on Mushroom Crab. She possesses four long legs that bend at the knees (or possibly ankles; like other similar animals), with the hind legs bending backwards and forelegs bending forwards. The legs end in what seems to be hooves. These legs are similar to those of an elephant's.
History[]
Not much is known about this peculiar creature other than the caption provided. From the caption, we can see that she is the mascot and so-called “protector” of an anonymous small town. This could imply that she is a benevolent being that directly protects the town, or simply that the creature just so happens to take out any threats in the town for food or territory.
We consider the former scenario to be more likely, as we see many birds flocking around her, possibly even making nests on her thick fur without her being bothered by it. As the protector of the town, she has likely fought and possibly even defeated a number of other cryptids in the canon.
Aside from being the protector and mascot, she was also the main center of attention and tourist trade of the anonymous town, attracting many tourists from all over the world. However, her novelty is said have worn out when a number of similar beings appeared, roaming around the world. It is unknown who or what exactly these beings are, and if they are creatures we have already seen before. The photographer also states that "she may be our only hope", presumably referring to her possibly protecting them from these beings.
Abilities[]
Her most useful ability is obviously her massive size, which announces her presence to the people of the town, letting her know where she is at all times. This size is also useful in fighting or stopping different threats to the town, such as other cryptids and natural disasters. Her stomps would easily crush many of the smaller monsters in the canon, and may also be able to cause devastating earthquakes, although she tends to stay in one spot most of the time in order to avoid this. Her large antlers and eyes are also useful for spotting and attacking enemies. She may also use her powerful eyesight to spot townspeople that are in danger, and alert others of this, as she would definitely have a voice loud enough to do so.
Trivia[]
- She shares many visual similarities to Mushroom Crab.
- Despite her massive size, it is unlikely that she is actually a member of The Giants, but nothing is 100% confirmed.
- The likely theory is that she was made to fight The Giants.
- Trevor has stated that "Her mouth may be that line above her eyes, we just don’t know".
- Her name, Watchtower, was suggested by @AnomalousArtist on Twitter, which Trevor made canon.
- She is one of few the purely friendly/beneficial canon creatures in the Mythos, with the other being the famous Long Horse.
- There is a possibility that she might protect other towns, but this has no confirmation of being true as of now.
- As previously mentioned, she is the second creature to be listed separately from The Giants despite having similar appearances and/or behavior in Trevor's Canon Creatures List, the other creature being Storm Warning Entity.
- This would imply that she is not a member of said group.
