Bibo is a God Monster with intelligence. He has two big eyes, and he knows very well what people want to do. He cannot speak, but only "Bi-Bo." When there is any danger happened, he will speak. The top of his head will light up and his hip will makes many colorful smoke to help him survive because this smoke is very stinking and it can hinder the sight of his enemies.

The clock over the central entrance to the Wiesbaden, Germany Hauptbahnhopf. Taken by a Nikon D610 at ISO 400 with a Nikkor 50mm ƒ 1.4 AF-D lens. Exposure is 1/80 sec @ 4.5, the upper limit of what I consider "low light".
While the clock is covered by a netting to keep pigeons away, it and the accompanying statuary needs a dusting, so I consider it "Neglected".
In the Hermitage you will have a unique chance to watch the famous Peacock Clock in action. Peacock Clock was made in London by a famous mechanic and jeweler James Cocks and presented to Catherine the Great. The Peacock is an intricate structure. The central figure, a big peacock is perched on a high oak stump with two luxuriant branches. Suspended on one of the branches on a silver cord is a cage surrounded by little bells. Inside the cage there is an owl in dark silver. Next to it on a tree stump stands a very picturesque life-size rooster. Among other inmates of the glass cage are snails, lizards, and a grasshopper together with mushrooms, acorns, and leaves. The dial is built into the cap of the biggest mushroom. When the clock strikes, all the figures come into motion. The owl is the first to come to life. It turns its head and rolls its eyes. Meanwhile the bell cage revolves producing melodious sounds. Then the bells stop ringing and the peacock spreads out its marvelous tail, It turns round and round slowly demonstrating its rich plumage and bowing gracefully. The rooster stretches its neck and comes up with its cock-a-doodle-doo. The roman figures indicate the hours while the Arab ones indicate the seconds.
