Its impenetrable blood-stained pelt is nonetheless much coveted by the ruling class, and lusted over for fanciful floorings, fur coats and dust mops. Almost never seen in daylight, the ravenous abomination feeds exclusively on human prey, and favors tender meat, especially the livers, hearts, and bowels of the blue blooded. It also likes to play with yellow ribbons.
Tyger tyger burning bright!
In the factories you ignite;
what immoral hand or eye,
could tame thy avenger revolutionary?
