Raging Reichert 

A split personality. Often comes out a night, and very rare occasions can be sighted near the pool or the beach. But often it is a nocturnal animal. It only feeds on one thing, beer, beer, and beer. It can be recognized from a distance from its stance, which is always at an awkard bendy angle. Raging Reichert can always be seen swaying its head, back and forth, almost like how a water buffalo swings its tail near a water hole.
Dude, I got so hammered last night, I was such a Raging Reichert.
