Sausage Mummy
In the dry desert lands, as the wind blows through the soft grains of sands. There lies nothing but a single pyramid in the middle of no where. Legend has it, within the pyramid holds a tomb. A tomb of the fallen, a tomb of unwanted parts.
Bind together with a delicate flakey pastry these demonic sausages slumber, but every once in a while they awaken. They begin their roll onto the earth, sending rains of flakey pastry and buttery goodness upon those undeserving souls. Be warned, they may look cute as they attempt to stand up straight, but they won't think twice about giving you a crunchy flakey snack.
