Several creatures you have to look out for here...
Wob-Wobs - Small blue fluffy creatures which eat brownies and sofas. Close relations to Wobbits and Wofflepuds. Multiply whenever something random is written or spoken aloud. For more information, see 'Stuff Beyond Coolness'.
Attack chickens - Evil chickens sent after me by a reviewer when I didn't update a story regularly enough. Now they have rebelled against her command and are trying to take over the world. Weapons of choice: Harry Potter dragon creme eggs or barstools. For more information, mention the black dress to Mort.
Rampaging Elronds - Cultivated Elronds we are keeping on a ranch in Mexico. Mainly mill around the field saying "Doooom." Can do a pretty good rendition of the Doom Song.

Frankie - Although not technically an animal, she bites people so often, she may as well be added in here. Beware.
And yes, I do realise I'm talking about myself in the 3rd person.

Hehehe....I won't do it then....I can wait patiently...I think.
Oh, and I was telling a friend about this site and she asked me what a Wob-Wob was. After I explained that to her, she asked me what a Dufflepud was. So, what the crap is a Dufflepud?

Fine, will post description.
Dufflepud - Not my creation, but CS Lewis's. A Dufflepud is a creature from 'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.' It's quite a long story, so get comfy.
On an island east from Narnia, there lived a wizard, who had these dwarves working for him, called Duffers. They weren't the brightest bunch, and always trying to rebel and make their lives easier, when they weren't too bad in the first place. For example, they'd wash the plates BEFORE dinner to save time afterwards, and plant cooked potatoes.
They also agreed with everything their leader said and did. Loudly. So if you talk to them, the leader won't get two words in without a rousing chorus of, "That it is, that it is. Couldn't have put it better myself. Keep it up, Chief, keep it up."
They also like to state the obvious a lot. Example: "It's getting dark now - always does at night."
Anyway, one day they really bugged the wizard, who decided to cast a spell on them, and made them into Monopods - creatures with one leg, as you can see on the banner at the top of the page.
They thought themselves hideously ugly, and stole the spellbook, and turned themselves invisible ("And you see, when we're invisible, well, we can't see each other." "That we can't, that we can't. You're talking like a book, Chief. Keep it up, keep it up.") But then they got tired of being invisible, and got Lucy - who was just passing on the Dawn Treader - to turn them visible again, and they named themselves Dufflepuds, and mixture of their two names.
So there you go. A Dufflepud is a one-legged dwarf that states the obvious.

Indeed we would. And Ebon, for bringing the image to mind in the first place.
As to the Dufflepuds - they sound a bit too funny for something by Lewis...which book is it in again, because I have to go see for myself.

OH! So that's a Dufflepud! Okay.... thanks for that Ashley. BTW, I was the friend she spoke of. I think the image of a one legged Gimli is really funny.... Ashley, you should try to draw that. ;D
