Toenotic(sic) - This is a secret game played by hypnotists... whereas, a group of rather trusting fellows all attempt to hypnotize each other... and the last one to retain a conscious state "wins". What they ®actually win nobody really knows, but most winners seem to have exceptionally clean houses, cars and neatly folded laundry by the end of the following week.

Meanwhile, back in the *dungeon...

> a secret game

As originally put forth:

How about another game in which a person posts a word from tsuwm's collection, and the next person posts a description of a monster so-named?

this low-slung creature is a hybrid of flatworm and moth. Like its moth ancestors it consumes fabric but being unable to fly it is only able to reach the bottom hem of long pants. First noted in the zoot suit era thay nearly became extinct in the 50's. However they made a strong comeback through the 70's and their numbers have fluctuated since. The Trew is difficult to spot as its dapple gray colouring blends in perfectly with pavement and sidewalks; look for the characteristic half-moon shaped depredations in the back hem of teenager's jeans.

Sobornost is an infection of symbiotic split personalites (not dissimilar to the character Gollum/Sméagol by J.R.R. Tolkien in The Lord of the Rings ). This infection manifests only when the two forces become unbalanced and they fight to gain dominance, and as evil can only exsist as an opposite to good (and versa-vice), without the support of both the host body dies. The infection is passed by bat guano absorbed through the skin which is how the famous Dr.Jekyll was infected.

The lirp is an annoying little creature which has adapted well to the urban environment. It slyly creeps into the fridge while you are trying to decide what to make a sandwich from. Once the light goes out it drinks the last of whatever liquid is left in any open containers causing blaming and acrimony between members of the household.
If you listen very closely you can hear how it got it's name.

The quonk can be found haunting Scottish Links courses. Shorter than a Links bunker is deep, the quonk lurks inside a bunker and steps on any ball which happens his way, plugging said ball and making a difficult shot nigh on to impossible; he then scampers into the rough.

As the frustrated duffer hacks away, trying to excavate his ball, the quonk hides nearby guffawing audibly.

the thirl, though quite small, is most known for his very deep voice, which he will use at the most in-opportune times, such as when you trying to lie to your children about the reality of Santa Claus. the result is that you will need to buy even more gifts for them...

The razoo is a vicious beast with powers of mind control. He uses his abilities to inflict great suffering on mankind, usually through convincing musicians that the accordian is an instrument and that it's sounds are music. The razoo is related to the pazoo, which does the same thing with bagpipes. There is, in fact, a whole family of such creatures.

The nautch comes in many forms and mainly attacks its human prey through artistic endeavors. It is that person who sings with all sincerity of heart yet makes your ears bleed with dissonance. It is the goregeous cousin you dance with at a wedding but who repeatedly crushes your toes in the process. It will also seize the opportunity to attack your neighbor when you lend them a tool or appliance... the object will be returned damaged as a result. It is suspected that John Tesh has *morphed into a nautch.
