There was a beaver or a nutria rat the size of a small child running along the levee at the very beginning of the tempo that scared the living daylights out of me. If you're not familiar with nutria, we lovingly refer to them as R.O.U.S.s. Hideous creatures.

PM - 4 slow

Funny looking critters. Like a cross between a beaver and a mouse.

Watch out for the flame spurts and lightning sand!

Great run!
