==Summary==


"Monsters are real. Deal with it!"

==Ratings==
===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===

* Rated: (not rated) (equivalent to a TV-PG for mild Violence, and mild Profanity and Adult Content)

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)

Only "Lovecraftian" in the Delta Green RPG sense of a secret government agency that tracks and polices monsters-of-the-week; this one does have the vaguely Lovecraftian explanation that monsters of folklore, mythology, and urban legend are "missing links" in the evolution of humans and animals. The mer-men "Links" bear a superficial resemblance to Deep Ones, and a couple of other "Links" are Tentacle Monsters and what-not.

''Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''
