  • Mountain Ninja revealed! Jul 01, 2010 By Shawnimal 9 comments

    Little known fact: Mountain Ninjas descend the great Mt. Feroshi in the Summertime as a sort of a vacation! They also lose the furry hat, and supposedly shed at least a bit of their beardiness. Let's see, what else...

    AVAILABLE Wednesday July 7th at 1pm CDT!

    From the tag:
    "Summer! It gives this otherwise reclusive mountain dweller a chance to unwind at a relatively lower altitude. What past time, you ask? Rock climbing, of course. And Gort tossing—but only after he has had one too many Ninjatown Cherry Ales."

    Motto:
    "I’m just fine by myself, thanks!"
