Monster Mentioned in Sinbad the Sailor’s Third Voyage

“The sun was setting when a loud noise aroused us, the door of the hall was violently burst open and a horrible giant entered. He was tall as a palm tree, and perfectly black, and had one eye, which flamed like burning coal in the middle of his forehead. His teeth were long and sharp and it grinned horribly, while his lower lip hung down upon his chest, and he had ears like elephants ears, which covered his shoulders, and nails like claws of some fierce bird. The prisoners were so horrified that stood stupefied as the monster picked up one of the prisoners and proceeded to eat him.”

With all the terror and the gore of it all there are no words to express the pure horror we felt of the event unfolding in front of us.
