Richard Maver lives in Embsay, North Yorkshire. Considering he also has a website dedicated to selling outdoor 'fire-troughs',
I'll be surprised if he was involved in installing a fake monster.
He gains nothing from it except distrust and that can have a serious effect in this current 'Cancel' culture.

Maybe unconnected but his son Sam Mavor, whom he name-checks in some of his youtubby video credits/notes, works for Peoples Cinema.
From the "About" section of Peoples Cinema's FB blurb...
Quote:Peoples Cinema is a platform where filmmakers can upload trailers to be considered by the hub community with the chance of national TV credit...
I think he's mainly a film-score composer, but.... he'd certainly have connections to "creative" movie types...
Re: motive...
Maybe they just wanted more hits on the videos, or more commentary on the vid discussions etc not realising that it could back-fire?
Maybe his son's creative pals helped with the editing and did it for a laugh without his knowledge?
Edit:
I see that comments are now turned OFF for the video in question on YT!!
I'm guessing that they now realise that the game is up!?! LOL
