==Video Overview==
Kurt starts off by placing a double chest down, but thinking it is not safe with Creepers creates another Hidey Hole for it. Starting to dig out, Kurt remembers the prank he pulled on Vintage Beef on the MindCrack Server. He gets up at one point and is surprised he doesn't pause the game for safety reasons. Finding it very difficult to place scaffolding with the terrain jitter, Kurt starts sketching an outline in dirt. Settling on increasing the size of Wolfie's head by one but leaving his nose the same size, Kurt finishes the scaffold by building the ears from dirt. Taking a break, Kurt gathers some flowers for dye and then digs underground to try and find some lapis. Told lapis is common between 13 and 16, he starts digging out around that level to get more cobblestone as he searches. Briefly letting Niblet out, Kurt sees the flame from a torch at the top of his screen briefly freaking him out. Kurt digs away from lava and three-high, which enables him to find some diamond. The strip mine proves very unfruitful in finding lapis, Kurt saying the made the mistake of saying they were looking for it. Finally he finds lapis behind gravel, and goes back to the surface where he has to wait a bit for the moon to set. Kurt finds an 'I' in the terrain, and starts to plan out Wolfie's 3D glasses on the monument. Kurt pauses at dusk to go out and help Niblet.
Returning, Kurt ponders the monument and wonders how 'natural' to think about it. He smelts some stone and starts placing it to fill in Wolfie's face on the monument. Wanting to get some sand to test out its fit, Kurt walks a little distance aways and finds some more impressive terrain to his amusement. Kurt uses the sand for the glasses to differentiate it from the stone he's using for Wolfie's face, but doesn't like the fit when he looks at it from a distance. Feeling like it just looks slightly wrong, Kurt wonders if the glasses should be off of the head. He places black wool and light grey wool on the sculpture, and mulls it over. Kurt tries to use cobblestone stairs in Wolfie's snout, and is initially unimpressed. Still thinking that Wolfie looks like a bear, Kurt decides to replace the sand with the white wool in the glasses. Saying he's starting to really dislike the whole idea, Kurt thinks of other things it could've been. Saying it is mediocre, Kurt laughs when it is compared to Zardoz from a cult classic movie.
