A strange creature in my kitchen last night!

I woke up at about 2 AM last night. I had been dreaming about food and was hungry. When I went into my kitchen, I spied this strange critter staring angrily at me. It seemed to be hiding behind my Trader Joe's Honey Nut O's. It never hissed, and it never struck at me. It just stared its evil stare. I decided I'd better get out of there, and went back to bed. I never saw its body. Now, I'm wondering if it was just a dream. When I awoke this morning, it was gone. Have you ever had anything like this in your kitchen?

@TheHorse The sightings have become more prolific these days because I believe that the younger generation TKMs are more amused by our reactions to them. As for the Honey Nut Os, that just confirms that it was a TKM because they are notorious for such stunts as stealing the holes out of cereals. They do this to torment their targets more and confuse them.

You disturbed a kitchen troll. Don't worry, they only come out at night, and they are more afraid of you than you are of them.

I think the snake would have woken me and there was no way I could go back to bed without getting rid of it first. You are brave!

@TheHorse Whether it was a snake , a TDKM or a spoiled avocado, I still think that I wouldn't have been able to go back to bed without doing something about it. I still think you are a brave man to have been able to go back to bed. You are a true hero!

I'm working with the hypothesis that it's not a snake, but a Trans-dimensional Kitchen Monster. See @Asylum's comment below. Be sure NOT to read @vandana7's comment, as it is much too firmly rooted in good powers of observation, rational thinking, and common sense, things that I don't really understand.

@nanette64 I hadn't known about TKMs. But little kids know about TBMs. They tend to hide under the bed.

@TheHorse oh my! I'm guessing it was just a dream! I mean, would you really want to go back to sleep if you saw a mysterious creature in your house! I know I wouldn't!

I think it may have been a TKM, as @Asylum suggested. But @cindiowens may be right as well.

I don't think it was a dream because you got a picture of it. If you have had little ones around, maybe one of them left a Halloween mask back there to try and frighten you. If not I'd call the Orkin man today and show him the pic!

Hi, @TheHorse Same here. It looks like an avocado. Is that the creature? I don't think you were able to take a pic
I always notice 2 strange creatures here in our dormitory. Both of them look like a mosquito but I'm sure they're not mosquito. I always feel so scared whenever I see them. Both of them can fly but one can make itself look like a very thin black string when it's on the wall. So scary.

I'd be poking it with a fork to see if it moved.
