Harold the creature posing

Harold the creature posing

Our story occurs in a somewhat dirty, industrial, multi texture environment (imagine down the NYC subway rails). This is the story of Harold, a cloudy creature who discovers a new place with many friends to eat. After the first encounter we discover eating the creatures he meets changes him and he likes it so much, to a point of greediness or gluttony.
