It looks like Mr. Snuffleupagus. That last photo is a little disturbing. ---

It looks like some mad scientist’s genetic experiment involving a human and a very small mammoth. ---

Except for the fact that his tusks are straight instead of twisty/curly I think it looks like Manny the Mammoth from [_Ice Age_](http://www.uni.illinois.edu/og/media/photos/d/43398-1/ice+age+main.jpg) And I agree with **corkboard** about the last image. That’s like a textbook example of Rule 34, right there. ---

Eww. As creepy as a very creepy thing. Approaching, in fact, the creepiness level of the StubHub tree, which is a VERY CREEPY THING INDEED. Is the face intended to be anyone in particular? Have they sued for excessive creepiness yet? ---
