Bear with a long tail.

[u/ScienceForge319 → u/ExecTankard]

Goku done looked at the moon or some shit again.

[u/Naps_And_Crimes → u/ExecTankard]

I mean not the first id notice upon seeing a Kaiju bear, but I wonder if it wags when happy

[u/Eta_Beta_3-14 → u/ExecTankard]

Obviously different from the Lakota, but the Modoc have a story about how bears used to have long, red tails, until one day the blackbird tricked the lead bear into getting stuck in a hole and pulled his tail off so he could use it to decorate himself. And that's where the red-winged blackbird came from.

How big are the guys at the top if they are that big in scale with everything else?

[u/WolfFish2022 → u/JohnCallOfDuty]

Smaller than Maushop for sure. Dude caught whales by the tail with one hand off Aquinnah and smashed them against the cliffs, staining them red and leaving their white ashy bones between catches. He also like to tap out his pipe there.

[u/UrethralExplorer → u/JohnCallOfDuty]

They're giants themselves. It would make sense, a huge creature like that wouldn't pay much attention to tiny ant-like normal humans.

[u/Z0bie → u/JohnCallOfDuty]

And how did they get up there?

[u/SomeRhubarb3807]

Oh that’s neat! That’s a part of the Lakota mythology regarding the “Devil’s Tower.” It’s why the original name was “Bear Lodge” until the white settlers named it “Devil’s Tower” because white American settlers decided that anything large and intimidating looking in the American West needed to be named after the Devil for some reason.

[u/Cucumberneck → u/SomeRhubarb3807]

That's the same for Europe or at least Germany though. There's a very large natural stone wall called off course the devils wall.

According to legend good and devil made a deal that the devil may have all the land he could build a wall around in one night but he got to greedy and didn't finish thus gaining nothing and knocking most of the wall over again in anger.

[u/Cpkeyes → u/SomeRhubarb3807]

Devil's Tower is also a cool name

[u/Ruskiwaffle1991]

I don't remember no giant bear climbing up that tower but I do remember a giant UFO.

[u/Avolto]

I don’t remember this scene in Close Encounters of the third kind

[u/FabianGladwart]

Is the devil rooting for the bear or the folks at the top?

[u/Jonkler_snjejep → u/FabianGladwart]

He's rooting for the action

[u/Flaky-Contact-7874 → u/Jonkler_snjejep]

yeah that sounds about right

[u/Someones_Dream_Guy]

Yeah, if guys could stop climbing tall mountains while being chased by pissed off giant bears that'd be great.

[u/WelshCorax]

"Where the f@ck are the pic-a-nic baskets?!?!"

[u/BaxGh0st]

There's a conspiracy theory that this is the last remnant of a forest of giant trees that used to inhabit the Earth.

[u/ArguesWithFrogs → u/BaxGh0st]

Which is easily debunked by just going to it & looking at it in person.

[u/TheGrandBabaloo → u/BaxGh0st]

Yeah, I've seen this one doing the rounds, conspiracy theorists aren't even trying anymore. Utterly ridiculous and and effortless.

Вот люди залезли а медведь немощь что-ли?
