265-Monkey King: Out of Your Gourd

Published: April 6, 2022, 3:30 a.m.

A super-powered monkey from Chinese folklore meets more than he bargained for: a sloshing hollow gourd full of pus.

\n\n

The creature is the Mikaribaba (\u7b95\u501f\u308a\u5a46) from Japanese folklore, a great reason not to shower (because she will literally gouge out your eyes).
