DeviantArt user EatToast has a ton of weird little creations on his website, but the My Little Ood far surpasses the rest. This disturbing, yet seriously cool adaptation of the My Little Pony toys from the beloved children's franchise is impossible to ignore.
This creepy creation is half space alien, half horse, and completely disgusting in appearance; that is the point, after all. EatToast describes the process of making the My Little Ood on his website stating, "I sculpted the suit and head over the pony itself with sculpey, and cut off its ears and moved them down so they would look more like Ood ears. It was then painted with acrylic paint, and covered in a clear varnish."
While this toy might not be as appealing to kids as the original, it sure is a great conversation starter for more mature children and adults.
