Lumba Stout
In the early 1980's, long before the Blair Witch, the Lumba ravaged Bel Air, Maryland. Several young lads set out across a meadow to vanquish it and never returned, nor has the beast. Legend has upon victory they quaffed a dark and mighty elixir of life that freely flowed from the Lumba’s severed veins. Upon partaking in that unholy communion, it is said, madness ensued driving the boys out of their world and into twisted planes of existence. Where they still roam to this day.
