tent monster

A member of the world-wide "Occupy" movement who appears to be a tent on the ground and then stands up dressed in their tent when approached by police to be asked to move on. First seen in Melbourne, Australia.

The police officers approached the protesters' camp but were quickly surrounded by tent monsters.
