Name:Barlow
Gender:Male
Tail Charm:While Barlow's charm isn't necessarily always Halloween-themed, that doesn't mean it doesn't spook people year-round! See, while Barlow himself may consider his 'charm' to be a pretty, decorative and cute accessory, it's actually more of a tail 'terrarium'- and one that Barlow absolutely
loves to stock with bugs of all kind.
It's a handmade terrarium Barlow made out of a lightweight plastic jar, and Barlow never keeps bugs in his 'charm' for more than a few days, eventually moving them to bigger tanks to make sure his little friends survive. While his mini-terrarium has hosted critters from snails to scorpions, for Halloween Barlow is stocking it with a little black spider he found holed up in his cellar. (Let's just hope it doesn't get loose!)
Tail Charm Sketch:
Costume:Rather than going with the expected 'spider' costume to match his charm, Barlow's decided to honor all the poor, innocent little insects he's fed to spiders over the years. To do this, he's dressing up as the 'cobweb ghost'- the angry, vengeful spirit of a billion bugs that met a spidery death. His actual costume is pretty simple. You know
this stuff, the messy, cotton fake spider web that people spread all over their house around Halloween? Barlow's bought seven or eight big bags of the stuff, and come Halloween-time, he's going to totally wrap himself in it so only his eyes and snout are sticking out. He's also going to pin a huge spider plushie to his head, for good measure. Nobody's sure whether or not Barlow will actually be able to
move with it on, but, well, that's Halloween for ya...
