This year’s annual Pterodactyl Hunt sponsored by Psi Phi, Swarthmore’s “psience phiction” and fantasy club, featured two “flaming” swords, a foam throne, and an epic Game of Thrones soundtrack to back it up. Check it out here:

P.S. The boy king pictured in his throne is Dean of Students Liz Braun’s son, Dexter.
