Squonk
| Description |
Legendary in Pennsylvania, the Squonk is small, shy beast, with loose
skin that has many warts and moles on it. Squonks are very unhappy and
cry all the time.
|
| Features |
Hunters can follow the trail of tears, and find the Squonk under
hemlock trees. If cornered, the Squonk's tears might dissolve it
(hence the pseudo-Latin name Lachrimacorpus dissolvens.)
Supposedly, one person caught a Squonk in a sack one time, but when
the sack was opened later, there were only tears and bubbles in it.
