A bloviate is a very small, rapacious fish. Since it has no teeth it has developed a unique attack method. It sneaks up on its prey and attaches itself by sucking with its powerful lips. Then it spits a stored water reserve at a very high velocity as a projectile into its prey's flesh, which quite often acts as a drill creating a hole.

A dumquirl is a horrifying night creature, which sneaks into a person's room and clandestinely puts permanent curls in the victim's hair. The poor victim suffers great surprise upon viewing the new do in the morning: Hey! Why do I look like Little Orphan Annie? AIEEEEEE!!!

An African predator. The abomasum relies on its ability to camoflage itself as a thornbush, thus becoming a part of a cattle enclosure. At night it disengages itself and feeds, returning to its place before daylight.

Stichomythia are a strain of virus often transmitted on the surface of shiny paper. They are responsible for visual hallucinations and cognitive deficits and cause otherwise rational people to believe in the existance of living human beings proportioned like supermodels.

Beware of the puggle. It is deceptively cute and although most think it is a cross between a pug and a beagle, it is a vicious combination between a pug and eagle brought about by the famous Dr. Moreau himself in his early stage of experimentation. An attempt to pet a puggle will usually result in getting one's eyes poked out by its powerful beak which is successfully hidden by many folds of facial skin.

the ficelle has long been the bane of the lexicographer, as it is a tricky bugger that is prone to depositing its frass in the form of artificial definitions in dictionaries and glossaries about to be typeset. it is also suspected of having corrupted the odd Balderdash® box-set
in a fit of pica, the lads at MIT developed an AI version that now haunts the OED online; it can also be found bedeviling an occasional round of hogwash®.

A zarf is very large and intelligent rodent. It has a bit of a vendetta held against humans as they are the ones which constantly evict them from thier homes - which are mainly the walls of old buildings that hold their favorite delicacy; old paper covered insullation. As construction, remodeling and replacement with new fiberglass insulation has forced the zarf into the streets and alleys it has sought its revenge by burrowing under and weakening the street surface, creating strategically places potholes. As yuppies attempt to drive large vehicles with coffee in one hand and as the vehicle is so big these potholes are never seen in time to avoid, this most often results in spillage and the staining of suits an dresses. Interestingly enough, zarfs are most often found lurking by the back door of your local drycleaners looking for *rewards.

The shortest of a litter of monster siblings. Although coming from the same mother each monster in the litter has its own distinctive characteristics. The Sprunt’s habitat is in dark twittens from whence it springs out on unsuspecting wayfarers, taking up a challenging and uncompromising position. After hours of debate the victim, worn down by the Sprunt’s unbending arguments, gives up the ghost and cannot resist as the Sprunt sucks all the logic out of him.

The Tenesmus occasionally works in concert with its sibling, the Sprunt, in order to scavange the leftovers of the Sprunt's victims. The Tenesmus entangles the wayfarers' feet, should they show enough energy and will to sidestep the Sprunt.
