Next thing you know, Cuthbert's narrowly avoided being disintegrated, as the end of his boot is gone completely. Soon enough Farson's men rush into the canyon only to be taken in by the green misty swampish thinny, as it grows arms and drags them in. I almost feel bad for the horses, seeing as they are the first ones to be consumed by the thinny.
At the end, the men in the canyon resignedly walk into the thinny "willingly"...
Terrifying scene; one I would love to see in a movie one day.
I still have no clue what the thinny truly was.
