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.
