Ripon residents woke to a monstrous sight on Market Square this morning.
Alongside the 18th century obelisk, a modern-day fantasy creation of myth and mayhem from Netflix could be seen inside a giant snow globe.
The creature, with its multiple limbs, is making a one-day appearance in Ripon to mark the release on Friday of The Witcher season 2, part of which was filmed at nearby Fountains Abbey and Plumpton Rocks.
The series, starring Henry Cavill, is an adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s bestselling novels.
The globe, with its resident snow monster, is touring the UK and will only remain on Market Square until this evening.
The Witcher is based on a series of books and video games and features battles between humans, elves, witches, gnomes, and monsters.
