BOA: Beasts Of Almeria

In the arid expanses of the Tabernas desert, whispers of the Beasts of Almeria can be heard, Known affectionately as the 'BOA', they have woven their way into the fabric of local lore.

These wild beasts, with their large sinuous bodies glistening under the unforgiving sun, are a sight to behold. Their skin, reminiscent of polished obsidian, undulates with a fluid grace as they navigate the parched landscape. Emerging from the shadows of ancient rock formations, they brandish numerous tentacles that writhe and curl, ensnaring any unfortunate insect, pest, or human that dares to breech their habitat.

It is said that these tentacles have a sentience of their own, almost like an extension of the beasts’ will, capturing and subduing anything that stirs in the dry air.

While the BOA may be daunting, their true purpose transcends intimidation. They are the guardians of this domain, fiercely protecting the sun-scorched land from marauding gangs of washed-up Hollywood actors [yes you read that correctly] who were left behind after the directors and film crews of classics like "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" hung up their sandy boots and abandoned their fading sets - for a few dollars more!

These jilted cowboys, now little more than shadows of their former selves, roam the desert in search of fame and fortune, chasing mirages of their illustrious yesterdays. Yet, they inevitably find themselves outmatched by the phenomenal beasts, who descend upon them with a vengeful fury, their tentacles lashing out like whipping winds in a ferocious desert storm.

The BOA, fierce and unyielding, appear to have successfully secured the region, for now at least, ensuring that no wayward soul exploits their adored Andalucian haven. As menacing and destructive as they can be, they seem to actually approve of film industry operations on their territory, or at least of the presence of creatives within the industry, who respect the craft and locations too!

While heroes like Indiana Jones and Conan the Barbarian, could never hope to tame, let alone contend with the BOA, the actors who played their parts were allowed to live and return home in one piece to tell the tale. However, as enigmatic shades of fate play out so often in the baking heat, many other lesser mortals, some perhaps with delusions of impending fame, attempted to confront the beasts, only to be met with torturous and hideous retribution.

Legends of massacres and subsequent exoduses have have been relayed for decades, with locals recounting tales of adventurers who, in the face of such terrifying creatures, often defecated themselves as they stumbled over the desert dunes in panicked retreat, leaving behind forever the ghosts of their glory.

The BOA, timeless and relentless, ensure that the desert remains pure to itself and its filmic heritage, They alone oversee and protect this glorious mystical paradise, where echoes of cinematic dreams fade into the whispers of the desert's wispy wind.
