Description
A 2nd collection of my own interpretation of the horrid beasts that live in Loompaland.

- Hornswoggler: These critters have the nasty habit of skewing multiple prey with that horn of theirs all at once (making a shish kabob), then, dries them out in the sun while perched up on a branch. Once cooked to it’s liking, the Hornswoggler goes on a search for the largest thorn it can find to once again impale the prey and to help pull them off their horn and digs in. Based off hummingbirds and the real life shrike which impales it’s prey on thorns: m.youtube.com/watch?v=RPXDouwQ…

- Wangdoodle: Since in the ‘71 film Wonka mentions it could each 10 at a time and think nothing of it, I figured a frog would be fitting since they eat so much. The dog-like head was added so it can sniff out Oompa Loompas who may be hiding out of sight (it has terrible vision) and snatch them up like a chameleon.

- Snozzwanger: It’s sticky snot/mucus from it’s elephantine trunk helps trap prey where it’ll then bring it up to the mouth to be eaten. Inspired by star-nosed moles and the heffalumps from Winnie the Pooh.

- Vermicious Knid: A real trickster these buggers are. They like to pull horrible pranks on the Oompa Loompas from time to time either for sh*ts ‘n giggles or before going in for the kill. Either way they love to laugh. Their awful cackle can be heard all over the jungles of Loompa Land. Based off crocodiles, mandrills and baboons.

An idea I’ve come up w/ is that these names are actually just the names for the different class of animals that have a certain characteristics. Ex. Hornswogglers are used to describe animals that have a large (or multiple) horns. Snozzwangers are animals that eat snozzberries along w/ having a prominent nose. Vermicious Knids is a name used to describe animals that have sharp teeth, a big, horrible toothy grin, voracious appetites, an ugly laugh and are tricksters. Wangdoodles are to describe all the big and weirder animals who don’t have a characteristic that fit in the other categories.
