GREAT AND UGLY THING
"And surely this thing did prove to be; for there came very quick, a great and ugly thing, that had an ugly way of putting down the feet, and did have seven feet to each side, which was very strange; and the back was as that it were horny, and the belly of the thing did seem to brush heavy upon the earth, and it grunted, as it went, and shook the earth with the weight of it; so that a monstrous noise came from it, upon so hasty a journey."
William Hope Hodgson, The Night Land
Nice, I just realized that the feet are actual human-like feet. Look monstrous on a caterpillar type body.
