The original video is six seconds long and features a realistic-looking creature standing in an empty room. it possesses a pale, elongated head, unblinking eyes, and a wide-open mouth holding a greenish-blue object. During the video, the creature screams "No!" twice using a distorted voice before the clip ends.
