It was not goblins stacked up in the trenchcoat, but in fact several squid holding it together.
Either that, or it’s about to get Lovecraftian up in here.
. . .is that a mindflayer?
A mindflayer would have little reason to kill randomly, or put potential meat puppets in a position to be killed, before using them at least.
Oooo, an illit-… illi-… a mind flayer! ((illithid))
My vote is on Lovecraftian.
Ahh, the illithid, except it only has two tentacles, so I’m betting on curse
Squidfister 69: did somebody say squid?
It’s my archnemisis tentacle face
Shades of LoveCraft!!
