"Someone has an inflated sense of self. Even among Paironormals, the Monster known only as tall ball is an odd one. Does this entity have a formal species name? None that it will willingly accept - it's simply tall ball. It does, however, answer to the title of "Cloak-and-Swagger Paironormal" (over supercilious, in this biographer's opinion). That said, it's hard to argue that the byname fits - 'Cloak' referring, of course, to the elastic Hoaxical covering draped over the Monster's Major form, and 'Swagger'… well, that part's self-explanatory. So where does the Depths Element fit in? It's tempting to write it off as a signifier of the low, room-rumbling sounds the ball achieves by puffing up the cloak and stretching different parts of its body. But the Monster's Minor form may hold a clue. Its spindly, simplistic limbs and clown-like, exposed face force one to consider the possibility that it was plucked not form the farthest reaches of space of sea, but from the furthest depths of the Carnival witnesses' imaginations. A balling thought, if nothing else."
