Description A ”Fearsome Critters” of campfire tales legends, though not as fearsome as many others. The Squonk is probably the world's ugliest animal. So ugly, in fact, that it spends most of its life crying over its cruel fate. Eventually many squonks just dissolve into a puddle of tears. You can read more about this sorry fellow and others like him in my book "Fearsome Critters", which can be bought from Lulu.com

I meant for them, surely they're capable of sexual arousal. Maybe it's the one thing that distracts them from their insecurity

The poor old Squonk! I think that story came from my home state of Pennsylvania originally.

Whoa. I've seen attempts to draw this creature, but after seeing this, I feel 100% confident that it could have looked only like this!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. to think that I should see someone do a picture of a squonk! It really matches the description a great deal.

All in all you are a very dying race
Placing trust upon a cruel world.
You never had the things you thought you should have had
And you'll not get them now,
And all the while in perfect time
Your tears are falling on the ground.

A creature who never had a chance

It's just an imaginary animal, but it does have some traits from real animals, both extinct and living ones.

I am a big fan of all of the fearsome critters books and I just got yours from lulu.com and it is awesome! My favorite drawing would be the funeral mountain terrashot.

Thank you for supporting a starving artist! I think this is the second copy of that book I've ever sold.
