Last day of monsters has those ‘donated’ by C. Miller. Check out her blog and her two books: REAVE and ELUDE!
Garfink
This is a plant creature that has the ability to take the form of whatever flora it touches while in its seed phase. When a seed, the Garfink has two leafy extension that carry it on the wind and can even flap if it plummets. Once it lands on or touches a plant, it will combine some of the new pollen with its own to grow into a replica. For example, a Garfink that touches an oak will become one with a few minor differences. One is that they grow to full size within a fraction of the time of the original. They also have hidden barbs that can only be seen if put under a microscope. Whenever an animal is injured by a Garfink, it is injected with a toxin that puts it into a coma. This rarely result in death as it is done to create a new seed. Once awake, the animal will have a headache until they walk outside and are forced to sneeze out the seed.
Snadderbuckin
A strange riding and hunting beast utilized by the people of Gylgruk. These short-haired creatures have four short legs on a rotund body, which makes you think they aren’t very fast. Well you would be right, but they don’t really need to be fast since they have incredible endurance. A Snadderbuckin is 50% mouth and lungs, so it can inhale prey that is bigger than its body. The long, flat heads resemble a Venus Flytrap with a ‘cage’ of spike-like teeth that it can use to contain whatever it swallows. Within the mouth is saliva that acts like a tranquilizer and prevents captured prey from fighting back. The only drawback to the Snadderbuckin being used for hunting is that it is difficult to get the food out of its jaws. Most times the hunters have to pry the mouth open and remove the prey, risking being trapped themselves.
(Bonus video since I nearly forgot it and made the upcoming post before this one.)

That Snadderbuckin sounds charming! Those fly trap plants have always given me the creeps after watching videos of bigger varieties of them eating massive birds and small mammals in the Amazon.

Never saw videos of the bigger ones. Not really sure I want to after that description. 🙂

It was National Geographic just in case you change your mind. 🙂

Makes you wonder how many students thought they had a bad hangover, but had really been ensnared by a Garfink…

I think we’ve just created a new excuse to get out of morning classes.

Not to mention homework: “A Snadderbuckin ate my essay, Miss! Honest!” 😀

I think if a dog really does eat your homework, you should just get a parental note explaining it. Actually, maybe the whole urban legend was created by dogs so they can eat homework and not get in trouble with the school system.

Don’t know why, but I have a visual of a snadderbuckin rodeo.
