Another spot illustration for Factsheet Five, drawn in 1990. What nefarious doings is this creature engaged in?

I think it’s a little scared, honestly. It’s got those crazy bug eyes you get when you’re living in a wooden cabin out in the midwest and you hear a noise and go downstairs and there’s some hideous, lanky, dry-peach-skinned thing skittering or striding along outside like some terrible parody of a tks’ke’likal fishing at the river, topped by a ragged mane of this collagen fibers and stiff nodules anchored at random, bilaterally symmetrical points along its body, as if it had a calcium mantle broken into pieces, a dreaded conglomeration of musculature arranged like a madman’s pulley apparatus… and it’s staring into the window.
I don’t know if it’s scared but I’m definitely creeped out now.
Or the poor guy’s just gotta make a late night bathroom run.
