ive done the "$" thing, just never like that. it was beautiful! and i did not kill him, i saw it holding something (looked like a huge lemon), and i walked in front of it (never getting to close) and it never charged me, so i sorta assumed he was just lost, possibly scared? Like he was just trying to protect the thing he was holding maybe? Also, he looked like a platypus and that was too cute to hurt. and it said i had to get him out of town not kill it, so i figured if i could take a more peaceful route, that be best. and also i had a theory for a while, which was later touched upon....that the beast might be my doggy. I still hope that beasty is okay. i have weird theories about the shooter too....does this game have hidden lore? Cause i could deff see some theories and behind the scene stuff possibly going on.
