Monstrous Camel Man (1690)

On exactly September 20th, 1690, these monsters were captured by King William the Third’s troops and taken to London. The camel men were said to be from Limerick Ireland.
Not only do these camel men have glorious legs as shown in the drawing, but they also have an insatiable appetite for humans.
Such a random and specific lie. Did the king think this would impress people? What did he gain by creating a sexy legged camel men myth!?
