Grand Teste Koi Pond

The Teste making a rare emergence from the Koi Pond.

The Grand Teste Koi Pond was a horrific location which appeared inexplicably in Central Park on the same day as the New York Ball Of Flesh. However, while the ball of flesh disappeared, the Grand Teste Koi Pond remained for centuries. Despite the best efforts of the Central Park Maintenance Staff, the Grand Teste Koi Pond was never expunged from the premises, as a seemingly limitless supply of bodily acids streamed constantly into the pond.

The Grand Koi Pond

No Koi lived in this putrid pond of blood and urine. In fact, it was so steril that nothing could survive inside of it, save for the native Grand Teste.

Coins Conundrum

Coins were often tossed into the blood for 'good luck' by the many strange and splendorous citizens of the realm known as New York City. Scientists began studying these coins to measure the effects of the blood-urine mixture on metal; however, they found something truly awful. Their metal detectors were unable (or unwilling) to pick up on a single coin at the bottom of the pond. Scientists were puzzled by this, and a multibeam Echosounder was brought to the scene to determine just how deep the pond went.

The Echosounder lost contact with the scientists after traveling for what was apparently nearly sixteen miles down into the Earth. The scientists were unable to recover the Echosounder, but were able to confidently say the pit was the deepest chasm on Earth. This both frightened and intrigued the scientists.

The Grand Teste

The Teste was of mysterious origin and unknown purpose. It was the largest known teste ever to appear on Earth. It had a radius of roughly 2 meters, and weighed roughly two metric tonnes. Most of the time, the teste remained 'underblood' and was only visible through a small portion peeking out onto the surface.
