I used to have an image of a magazine ad from circa a hundred years ago. It is for a “night mare” (in large text, with other descriptive text that followed) and has a drawing of several people sitting on a weird dragony thing. It was some sort of ride-able (or at least sit-on-able) novelty thing that was either 7 or 9 feet long. I lost the image years ago and have never been able to google it up again.
Was it this?
Wow. That sent me down a rabbit hole of vintage “lodge paraphernalia”. Apparently stuff like this was used for initiations and hazing in fraternal orders. The “Lodge Goat” looks even more frightening.

They really enjoyed electrocuting people.
