   Similarly, I was playing a few days ago when a green "blob-like"
creature with two two-fingered arms strolled across the screen. In its
wake it left swampland for both sets of people to fall into. Since I
have seen nothing like this (or the flying carpet) before or since, I
was wondering who else has seen them, and whether they are peculiar to
a specific battle number, world type, etc.?

  Anyone know anything about these?
