A very ugly thing. According to legend, this hideously mutated creature is the otherworldly spawn of a wizard's breeding experiment. Double yuck! “All the infections that sun sucks up From bogs, fens, flats, on Prosper fall and make him By inch-meal a disease! His spirits hear me And yet I needs must curse. ” -William Shakespeare, _The Tempest_, II, 2. 1611.
