A suspicious foreigner with an asymmetrical face appears at Patriarch's Ponds (asymmetry is a traditional distinguishing feature of the devil in folklore) with a cane topped by a poodle's head (the poodle is taken not from folklore, but from Goethe's Faust—Mephistopheles first appears in the form of a black poodle)

And there's much more to see!
