Later, Dipper equips himself with golf clubs and a garbage can as weapons in addition to armor made out of stuffed animals found in his room. He and Mabel are convinced to be able to capture the monster for science and candy. Dipper then advances towards the creature in a matter to trap it by luring it with candy, but the monster catches on and flees away. Without hesitation the twins run after the beast.

Official overview

Dipper and Mabel must go into full on battle mode against a mysterious creature when it leaps out of the rafters and steals their 'Summerween' candy.[1]

Synopsis

Short1 Dipper finger licking good

It's infinitely delicious.

Late at night, as Dipper concludes a section in his video recording of "Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained" on Gravity Falls anomaly #13, the "Mobius Chicken Strip." He is startled by a mysterious creature that starts to cause havoc in his room. He quickly alerts a sleeping Mabel, who in return tries to ignore Dipper until he tells her that the creature is eating their left over Summerween candy. Hearing this frightfully wakes up Mabel then she and her brother try to investigate what could this candy eating monster be. After they are unable to come up with a clear conclusion, Dipper then titles this event as a new recording, "Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained #76: That Thing?"
