Well, this creature is certainly ugly and frightening so considering that, it can be called a monster. Only typical monster characteristic that it lacks is size (you already pointed that out yourself).

I wish I could buy these at the super market. Instead of firecrackers and buckets of ice, I'd be tossin' these over the shower curtain to fuck with my friends.

Agreed! I also expected to be reading about something much larger than 3 inches!

An ugly mini monster!
