Turns out that behind that bright, primary-colored exterior, this giant beach ball, aptly named the Beach Behemoth, is capable of true terror. This Amazon review (which, admittedly, lacks the "Veried Purchase" stamp) recounts a tale of a fun and wholesome outing gone wrong.

"Children screamed in terror at the giant inflatable monster that crushed their sand castles," the review reads. "Grown men were knocked down trying to save their families. The faster we chased it, the faster it rolled."

It's not named the Beach Behemoth for nothing. This chilling (and hopefully true) tale of terror testifies to that fact.

Though it is capable of true destruction and chaos, the Amazon reviewer gave the ball a two-star review, noting its durability. Plus 1 for the Beach Behemoth, I guess.
