Dear god, the overlords have arrived. I found that terrifying (but work-safe) photo through Graham Linehan on Twitter, who muses: "Imagine the fuss if this was in the shape of Jesus instead of a wonky bug-eyed tenting alien."
Creepy alien springs forth from earth, in China

Ha ! Can you imagine the freaked out face of the farmer who pulls *that* out of the ground ? :)
But, it seems to be common...

This is a common deliberate modification of the plant. When they look like that they sell for a lot more. This one is male, but there are also female versions of the sculpted plant. A google image search for 何首烏 turns up many similar examples.
It's got an armadillo down its trousers ..
The root-homunculus reminds me of the title character of a Czech horror / fantasy, "Little Otik."
Reminds me of Carl Sagan's story of the samurai crabs
Hmm thanks for the '何首烏' tip. It did sort of look too good to be true.
I'm glad the randomness claim was debunked. I was ready to pull out my broom and call Shenanigans!

I am reminded of that anti-evolution argument that goes "what if you found a perfectly working pocket watch lying in a field, you wouldn't think it just formed naturally, you'd know somebody MADE it."
How does that apply here?
Its a mandrake root! Looks like its past its prime, though...too bad.
