Yeah, kid, they're reindeer. Really they are. Sure, reindeer are black and bubbly and protoplasmic. Horns on its head? Yeah, see, that one's got horns on BOTH heads! Really, "Tekeli-li" is what reindeer say. Now move along, kid, or I'll strip out your brain and put it in a cylinder.

Those aren't reindeer! Get away from them! Somebody grab a flame thrower!
