Image description: A Polaroid photo taken on expired film shows a boy in shorts, glasses, and a wide-brim hat staring into the camera as he holds it above him. He stands on a beach, casting the shadow of a scarred spinosaur-like dragon with a whale's tail. The words "august primeval" are written in the sand by his feet.

Attention: august primeval is at large. Though the entity has been trapped in their human form August Tian, and containment algorithms have limited their spread online, authorities urge the public to be on guard. Signs of their presence include recycling bins raided of crafting materials and resulting depictions of prehistoric and fictional life-forms. 

Authorities urge caution around gatherings of flora and avifauna ("plants" and "birds"), which the entity appears drawn to. Any member of the public found aiding and abetting the spread of august primeval- through online or physical media- will be subject to penalty including, but not limited to, glares of condescension. 

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES may any member of the public visit the entity's online presence at:
