Giant Nonopus

Daily Creature 14

The Giant Nonopus is similar to the Minor Nonopus, only larger.  It is also rather similar to the Octopus, only with an extra arm and really creepy discolored and pointy teeth.  It also has a whole lot of googlie eyes.  Is “googlie” a word? I would hate to tarnish the reputation of this Daily Creature blog by inventing words. That would be unprofessional.

The Green Bandersnunk

Daily Creature 13

The Green Bandersnunk is native to the Trehanshure region of Southern Negatastan. It is a ferocious predator, and spends most of it’s time hunting the Wizlesnootch.  As far as this reporter can tell, the Bandersnunk has never caught a Wizlesnooch.  Due to the fact that it’s hind legs are little stumps, the Bandersnunk runs incredibly slowly, and even a sloth or an iceberg lettuce can outrun it.  The Bandersnunk  is also rather stupid, as far as animals go, which doesn’t help matters much.  It primarily survives thanks to tourists choose to ignore the “don’t feed the animals” signs and give the Bandersnunk table scraps.

The Slouch-backed Tiger Dragon

Daily Creature 12

Slouch-backed Tiger Dragon actually believes itself to be a real tiger, despite the fact that it is a dragon.  Like all dragons, the Slouch-backed Tiger Dragon has scaly skin, horns, and breaths fire.  But the Slouch-backed Tiger Dragon considers all this evidence as mere coincidences and points to its stripes and sharp claws as proof that it is really a tiger.  The Slouch-backed Tiger Dragon has repeatedly snuck into tiger cages in zoos throughout North America and Europe. This, of course, is a huge problem as real tigers are deathly afraid of dragons. The leading cause of heart attacks among Bengal Tigers is having a Slouch-backed Tiger Dragon sneak into your cage.  Of course, there are also legal ramifications if the Slouch-backed Tiger Lizard is found in a zoo. As most already know, according to the Mythological Creature Protection Act of 1873, it is illegal for a United States zoo to exhibit dragons (as well as unicorns, gorgons, leprechans, and others).

The Old Wrinkled Hairless Thingie

Daily Creature 11

The Old Wrinkled Hairless Thingie is the oldest living creature known to man. It’s so old and wrinkled (not to mention bald) that no one is entirely certain what species it is.  It may be the last of it’s kind, or there may be thousands of younger creatures (presumably with lots of fur and no wrinkles). Whatever it is, it’s certain that no other of it’s kind ever got to be as old as this one is, however old that is.
