Shaped a good deal like an alligator, but curious as to equipment in that he has no mouth. The nostrils are abnormally large, the legs short and the tail thick and powerful. The only cry is a loud snort.<BR> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Concealing itself with Satanic cunning behind a whiffle bush, the Dungavenhooter awaits the passing logger. On coming within reach of the dreadful tail, the victim is knocked senseless and then pounded steadily until he becomes entirely gaseous, whereat he is greedily inhaled through the wide nostrils.<BR> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Rum-sodden prey is sought with especial eagerness. <BR><BR><BR><BR> </div> <DIV STYLE="font-size : 9pt; font-family : Times New Roman">3: Not to be confused with the New Brunswicker ghost legend, the  Dungarvon Whooper. </font><BR><BR><BR><BR></div> <DIV STYLE="font-size : 11pt; font-family : Times New Roman"><center> [ 17 ]</center></div> </font></td></tr></table> </td> <!-- *** Ä% CELL 3 º% *** --> </table> </TD> <!-- *** º% CELL 4 *** --> </TD><TD WIDTH=100 valign="center"><center> <a href="p19.htm"><font size="7">º%</font></A> <BR> <a href="http://www.lumberwoods.com/index.htm" OnMouseOver="move_in('image2','images/lmbr2.png')" OnMouseOut="move_out('image2','images/lmbr1.png')"> <img src="images/lmbr1.png" border=0 hspace=0 alt="Move your mouse over here!" name="image2"> </a> </TD></TR> <center> </TD></TR> </table> <!-- *** Ä% ADVERTISEMENT º% *** --> <table align="center"> <td width=748 height=75 align="center" background="images/adbg.png"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-1771542151092607"; /* lumberwoods */ google_ad_slot = "2227060330"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 60; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-1771542151092607"; /* lumberwoodsbeta */ google_ad_slot = "3810790534"; google_ad_width = 234; google_ad_height = 60; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </td> </tr> </table> <!-- *** Ä% CLOSE ADVERTISEMENT º% *** --> <font size=-1 color="gold"><BR> <I>Fearsome Critters</I>, Written by Henry H.
