Is it blinking those flaps of skin above and below the eye, or it is a mouth that hungers--no one can really say. It has a thousand hands...or a few claws. Or are they tentacles grouped together to look like hands? As it rarely makes an appearance to those its taken, no one can really truly define the magnitute of this Keeper.
