Devil Beast? A VH Conspiracy

A most thrilling encounter. One I never thought I would see from my past childhood. The Devil beast of my nightmares. The Shape shifting ghost of the jungle.Turns out the legend continues to live even now.
Is this a ploy to have us terrified from ever setting foot inside said forest?
Or perhaps is it just the beginning of many terrors we have yet to experience?
