The Gruffgrumbler

Dreaded and hated, the Gruffgrumbler lies in wait on its trunk. Lurking at about 2 feet from the ground, the demon-like creature can smell you coming by sniffing through its huge nostril between the eyes. Then, when you least expect it, the round mouth suction-clamps onto your thigh. Needless to say you're a steak from then on.
